SEARCHLIGHT CEMETERY #1 SEARCHLIGHT, NV This cemetery was located off Highway 95, south of the town of Searchlight near the end of the runway of the Searchlight Airport. Survey conducted in 1957 by Mrs. F. M. YOUNG and Mrs. Chester PATERSON. In 1961, an airplane crash destroyed many of the markers in this cemetery. By 1986, all that remained were pieces of foundation for markers and stones. Many of the headstones appeared at a fourth location listed as Searchlight Cemetery #4, surveyed by Patricia and Daniel Scott in 2000. The fourth location was deeded to Clark County in 1986 as the "Searchlight Cemetery". It is unknown if the bodies accompanied the headstones as there are no records of the move.
