Tombstone Tuesday - Unmarked Graves in Searchlight, Nevada

...
I haven't been posting on Tombstone Tuesday recently because I ran out of my own gravestone photographs.

However, a Chula Vista Genealogical Society colleague, Wilma, was in Nevada in April, and took some pictures of some interesting markers that provide names of persons buried in unmarked graves. The pictures are:



The persons listed on these markers include:

This Clark county, Nevada cemetery is listed in Find A Grave here. It looks like all of the names above are listed on Find A Grave.

I wonder if "Able Caballero" was that person's real name. I think it's safe to say that "Unknown Man" was not that person's real name.

Caballero is a legitimate surname. Unknown Man is not a real name. And Baby Son must have been a baby that unfortunately may have died and never named. Cheers from El Salvador!
