William Boone Keith, who was a Union soldier is buried next to #8582368 Joseph Moore Graham, who was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. A few years after the Civil War ended both men moved to Las Vegas, NV, leaving their families behind & became good friends. When Graham died Keith purchased a plot for both himself & Graham. Keith had Graham's wife's remains sent to Las Vegas to be buried next to her husband.
Their's is the only grave in the country with a Conferate & a Yankee lying side by side.
