Description

The cemetery's NRHP nomination write-up notes that cemeteries are not usually listed on the NRHP, but asserts that, as an exception, "the Eureka Cemetery represents an integral part of.the Tintic Mining District. Its contents provide insights into the types of people, cultures and social organisations thatinhabited the area. Grave stones reveal nationality, as well as various cultural symbolisms which reflect values, dates of death also aid in identifying periods of disease and misfortune. In addition, various fraternal organizations have separate plots which aid in understanding their role as, in part, seeing to a decent burial for their members."[3]

It is located to the west of Eureka, off U.S. Route 6.[2]

gollark: They became sentient in late 2019. Most people haven't noticed.
gollark: Crimes are widely considered bad because they have bad effects on people/cause suffering. I don't agree with causing *more* of that.
gollark: That depends on how much people are committing crimes due to impulse things, and how salient that sort of thing actually is in decision-making wrt. criming crimes.
