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: In general, I do not see the issue with mentioning other servers and how to access them if it's reasonably relevant to ongoing discussions.
gollark: You *can* do things, but that DOES NOT IMPLY YOU SHOULD.
gollark: Fascinating. I'm not saying you're wrong in this specific case, merely that this is increasingly ominous.
gollark: > I don't really like the term of "respect", because people use it to mean so many different often mutually exclusive things based on convenience then equivocate them in weird ways; in my experience it's mostly authority figures demanding that I "respect" them, and they generally mean that I should be subservient to them in some way.
