Eberhardt Nevada
History |
EBERHARDT - (1869-1885) Eberhardt, Nevada is
located 5 miles southeast of Hamilton, NV. Named for the
fabulous glory hole mine on Treasure Hill, it started up around the
Stanford Mill in Applegarth Canyon. Eberhardt eventually gained 200
citizens, a post office, saloons, carpenter shop, wagon shop,
blacksmith, stores and an "active temperance organization." Only
rock ruins of mills and foundations and a cemetery
remain.
The murder of Nora Ahern, the popular proprietress
of a boarding house, by a Frenchman, "Crazy Louie" was the most
shocking event that happened here.
