This old cemetery is in an area in the Delamar Valley that used to be an old town. It had a population of about 8000 people. They worked in the gold and silver mines in the area. They shut down the mines because it was killing so many men. It was called the widowmaker mine. Some of these headstones tell of men in their 20's.
