Since it seems the State of Nevada has no plans for this cemetery perhaps the families of those buried there and members of the community could make their feelings known. The family of Cora Clark has offered some of the following suggestions:
1. That a simple perimeter such as boulders be placed around what the hospital feels is the boundary of the cemetery to keep vehicles from driving over the grave area. It is obvious without any records that this would never be exact, but marking what remains would be a step in the right direction.
2. That a monument be placed at the cemetery with the names of ALL who were buried there, including the name of the "unknowns". That a sign with the name of the cemetery be placed at the entrance so members of the community and family members can place flowers at the graves.

3. That the land upon which the cemetery sits be set aside and not encroached upon for further development. One idea might be that the land be given to the Parks Department or State Historical Society and maintained in a way similar to other historic Nevada cemeteries. As long as the land remains in control of the hospital, the hospital is in the cemetery business and should conduct itself according to the rules and regulations of the Nevada State Funeral Board.
