You Bet Cemetery

Nevada County, CA

The "Historic You Bet Cemetery" sign is attached to the fence near the gate.  Also, there is a sign stating "everything inside has been recorded."

A rather sparse looking cemetery, many of the markers have either been vandalized, lost to the ages or just never placed for whatever reason.  When the Cemetery District visits a cemetery, after the winter rains and snow, they are likely to notice indentations in the earth.  This is a sign of someone having been buried in that location.  They then place a metal cross at the location to acknowledge the passing of someone, most likely, from the years of the gold rush.

Now that you have gotten a little view of one of Nevada County's historic cemeteries, I invite you to view:

This is a collection of roughly 4000 photographs of gravestones form the historic cemeteries of Nevada County.  Bits of county history will be found there, also.
