Lamoille Cemetery

 

Elko County, Nevada

 

 On April 28, 2002, my dad, Barney Turner, son Harry Turner and I went out to the Lamoille Cemetery - just east of Lamoille, Nevada.  It was a nice trip.  Quite, peaceful and pleasant.  What better way to spend a spring Sunday afternoon.  In a future up-date I will try to add a bit of history to the names - about the life of the person beneath the headstone.  If you wish to add more ...  just let me know.
