St Thomas Memorial Cemetery was established in 1865 to serve the residents of the new ghost town of St Thomas in Clark County, Nevada, and is currently used by nearby residents.
The St. Thomas Memorial Cemetery is located on Magnasite Road off Moapa Valley Boulevard in Overton, Nevada, and was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places on January 20, 2005, as NRHP number 04001529.
Covering over 5 acres, the cemetery was associated with the early Mormon settlements in the area, including St. Thomas, Nevada. It was established in the 1860s for the residents of St. Thomas before it was moved to its present location in 1935 to remove it from the area to be covered by Lake Mead following the construction of Hoover Dam.
For a short period, it was referred to as Mead Lake Cemetery before finally acquiring the name of St. Thomas Memorial Cemetery. Residents of St. Thomas and Kaolin, along with their descendants, are buried here.
The cemetery is maintained by the community.
