| The St. Thomas Memorial Cemetery located in
Overton, Nevada, was the site of the reinterments of graves from St. Thomas and Kaolin, Nevada in 1935. When Lake Mead was formed from the creation of Hoover Dam, rising waters caused the abandoment of two communities, St. Thomas and Kaolin which were eventually buried under Lake Mead. Most of the people who were buried in each town's cemetery were reinterred to this and other cemeteries. (see Department of Interior report) Today, this cemetery is home to former residents of St. Thomas and Kaolin, and their descendants. |
