Marker : 
Silver Valley Cemetery The first known grave here 
is that of Helen A. (Crocker) Averitt, who, like her husband, 
John C. Averitt, was an early area spiritual leader and educator. 
Her burial in 1881 predated the purchase and designation of the 
land as a cemetery by 20 years. Originally called Robinson's Peak 
Cemetery, the burial ground contains the graves of other early settlers 
and their families. Veterans from every branch of the U.S. military were 
laid to rest here, as were the families of Mexican railroad workers in the 
early 20th century. An association organized in 1958 maintains the cemetery, 
which is still in use and remains a link to the history of Silver Valley. Historic
