2, 1851: "The graves of our friends and that of a stranger."
"To the citizens of Nevada and vicinity. There is one subject
that I think claims our early attention, that is the erection
of a plain, substantial fence around the grave yard of the
Methodist Church, that being, in my humble opinion, the most
suitable spot in this vicinity, and many of our friends are
already laid there. Let us unite to enclose some suitable spot
for the burial of the dead without respect to sect or party,
free for all, even the unfortunate stranger. Although some
in the Atlantic States imagine we are almost in a heathenish state
let us show those coming from there that although we gear long
beards and red flannel shirts t at we are not destitute of
feeling but hold our purse strings ever ready to aid the sick
and unfortunate that we have prepared a decent place for the
interment of those who disease may take away from our midst.
Seeing it is the lot for all to die, and we know now how soon
it will be our lot, respect for the dead may mean respect for
our own remains. Let each man give one dollar and the job
can soon be accomplished.
Yours truly, I.R.Hirst
Notices The object of the above communication we believe should
be attended to without unneccesary delay. We observe that many
of the graves have been defaced by hoof marks already, and the
older graves will before long if thus neglected be trampled
even with the ground. A slight contribution from every citizen
will accomplish the object. The burial ground above Main Street,
no longer used for interments should also be fenced in to prevent the tide of life from rushing over the graves and turning
a sacred precenct into a common pathway. Respect for the dead,
the attribute of all civilization should teach us to properly
regard their resting place.
