The Historic Cemetery Memorial Marker

In this first episode of Chronicles of the Comstock -- the Series, we visit the Nevada State Asylum Cemetery near Glendale Avenue in Sparks, Nevada. For years, asylum patients were buried on the hospital grounds in a mass grave. Recently, a group known as the Friends of the Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services Cemetery fought to designate the parcel as an historical cemetery. Several graves were reinterred in a redesigned park, and a granite obelisk memorial was installed to honor the people who were dishonorably buried.
