Title
Gravestone of William E. Carder who was killed and buried in Aurora, Nevada in 1864
Description
Gravestone of William E. Carder. Inscription reads: "William E. Carder. Native of Tennessee. Aged 33 years. Was assassinated in Aurora on the night of Dec. 10. 1864. I will avenge, saith the Lord. Erected by his Wife Annie E." Aurora, Nevada was a silver mining boom town founded in 1860. Aurora was in its heyday in the 1860s (Mark Twain briefly lived there), but it slowly declined after 1870. It went through a rebirth in 1912 when a new stamp mill and cyanide plant were built at the mines. In 1917, however, the mill closed down and by the early 1920s Aurora was abandoned. This photograph was taken in the 1920s. One silver gelatin POP print purchased from Amalgre Books of Bloomington, Indiana in April of 1997.
