Nevada's Grave Injustice - "Erased En Masse"

The State Hospital in Sparks was in a very isolated area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was a working farm where the "inmates" raised animals and grew their own food. Burial procedures were most likely a do-it-yourself operation at the direction of the current management. Record keeping was minimal and grave markers seemed at the whim of administrators of the times. A few graves had markers, but most had none.
