Huffaker
Cemetery
Truckee Meadows, Washoe County, Nevada

"The only burial
ground in the
district until a cemetery was
established in Reno. When
Sierra Manor was subdivided,
nearly all of the markers were
destroyed before the workmen
were stopped. The few listed
below are all that remain. Infor-
mation is from Mrs. Kate Holcomb
Mansfield who is at this time (1953)
[is] 81 years old. The Lyell family are
her ancestors."
