    I've been in the Carson City area since 86' and never walked that Cemetery. Day before my wife passed away, we were headed to Walmart and past that cemetery, and my wife was intently looking at the head stones. I had no idea she would be gone at only 42 from cancer.
  • I have been in The Clemens Home years ago , while attending a History Seminar. it was very interesting , and the Cemetery

    It is so cool to see another Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) house. I have been to his Connecticut house a few times. The Connecticut house has a room with a pool table and fancy chairs, they said it was his thinking room. He would play pool to help himself think. Sadly, both his Connecticut house and this house had tragedy. His daughter died when he lived in the Connecticut house. It was one of the reasons Sam moved out.
