Lida was a settlement about thirty miles southwest of Goldfield, Nevada. The mining district was
discovered by William Scott in 1869 and joined the Silver Peak District on the southeast. The Post 
Office was transferred from Inyo County, California on April 25, 1873 and served the area until 
July 30, 1932. It was also known as ALIDA and commemorated the wife of David Buel of  Austin. 

This cemetery lies on a slope up from town on the north side of the town site. It is fenced. There 
are 26 known unmarked graves.
