The photograph is NOT Mr. Biscombe
Gold Hill Cemetery Record Book (via LDS film 008119513, image 101):
John H. Biscombe, born England. A miner. Died 14 March 1887, aged 33 years, 5 months. Cause of death: consumption. Buried by his Family in IOOF (section).
Month/year of birth computed from date of death and age in years/months.
He was counted twice in the 1880 census, both in Gold Hill, at different dwelling numbers on Crown Point Ravine. Otherwise, the information there is fairly consistent with each other and his death record.
He married 20 July 1882 in Virginia City to Sarah Batt/Bath. [Western States Marriage Index and Storey County record book.]
On 6 April 1889, his widow remarried in Gold Hill to Isaac Nicholas.
The family is censused in Grass Valley, Nevada county, California, in 1900. Isaac and Sarah are shown with three children: Jessie B., born May 1883; Susie, born August 1886; and William, born March 1894. Although the entire family is shown with the surname Nicholas, it is clear that Jessie and Susie are John Biscombe's daughters, and both their marriage records use that name.
Please note this memorial was originally created by a known fictionalizer on FindAGrave. The photos are generally stock and historical photos of unidentified people, and not those named in the memorials. Some photos were used multiple times. His photos of people have been deleted almost entirely from Silver Terrace cemeteries, but the same has yet to be done for Gold Hill. Data such as full birth dates and places (when not shown on the gravestone) have no source and were invented. If you added these photo and "facts" to your family tree, please be sure to verify everything carefully.
[Rickards fiction: Johnathon Biscomb Was born in Manchester England Nov 14 1853, He immigrated to America in the Middle 1870s settling first in Michigan and later to Nevada in 1879 to work in the Mining industry. He Died of Consumption on Mar. 14th 1887 at 33 Years 5 Months of age. The Attached photo is courtesy of the Gold Hill Hist. Soc. Who were kind enough to let me copy it for find a grave. It was taken in Kalamazoo MI by W.S. White 116 Main St. some time in the later 1870s. The Photo of his Vandalised Grave stone was taken in Sept. 2001 and has since been set back up right. It is hoped by this writer that the ghost of Johnathon haunts the dreams of the Dastards who who get a sick pleasure of knocking over grave stones. The other two photos are to show you what Gild Hill NV City Cemetery looks like today.]
