During the process of documenting the more than 11,000 graves at Lone Mountain Cemetery, it was discovered there are hundreds of graves with no headstone or marker. Funds are currently being raised through private donations to purchase headstones or temp markers for these individuals. This project has been accepted as an approved project through the Foundation for Carson City Parks & Recreation (EIN 47-4750761) a 501(c)(3) organization. 100% of the funds raised go to purchase headstones and/or temp markers for those individuals buried at Lone Mountain Cemetery, Carson City, NV. Checks should be made payable to FCCPR and mailed to FCCPR, P. O. Box 3266, Carson City, NV 89702-3266.

My information comes from many sources including from the cemetery records, or obituaries, and is then verified to as many sources as possible before being added. Most sections have been walked and photos of headstones added to the memorial. This task is done by many volunteers frequently. If there is no photo added, more than likely this indicates this memorial has no headstone. As an added note, if the headstone is poorly made, it will most likely produce a poor picture. Please use the edit functions to make corrections or add information. I am more than willing to transfer memorials to family members, so please let me know if you would like to manage the memorial. Transfer of memorials to groups is not being accepted at this time due to the amount of research currently taking place.

I am adding the obits found to the picture section on the memorial. Due to the large number of memorials, it is impossible to type all the obit to the bio section of the memorial. In some many cases it's the only proof that the individual was in fact buried at Lone Mountain. Hundreds of graves are undocumented at Lone Mountain. There is no record of these individuals at the cemetery office or the county. It is my hopes to properly identify as many people as possible through whatever means I can so we can properly acknowledge these individuals, especially to connect loved ones. If you would like to add obits to the memorial and you are a family member, please let me know and I will transfer management of the memorial to you so you can manage the memorial as you wish.

In 1884 appropriations were granted to transfer 44 graves over from Ft. Churchill Cemetery to the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery at Lone Mountain. The graves were reinterred with military honors, Monday February 16, 1885. In addition, many of the graves buried at the Poor Farm were also transferred to Lone Mountain. And the graves at another Cemetery located across from the Governor's Mansion in Carson City were also moved to Lone Mountain Cemetery. This created many memorials as being identified as unknown, or location unknown. It's possible there are other undiscovered cemeteries located in Carson City.
