During Eureka's mining heyday the town attracted people from all over the world. Chinese and Jewish residents are notable because they had their own cemeteries. I passed the Jewish cemetery this morning and took a look around. There are only 3 headstones, and two of them were for babies. But can you imagine the life of Hyman Gerson? Born in Wongrowitz, Prussia (now Poland), and ending up in Eureka, Nevada? Crazy.
