Ill-Fated Brothers - Hosea and Ethan Grosh
Nevada Centennial Marker No.19
Two well-educated brothers, Hosea and Ethan Grosh, discovered silver here in 1856 but both died in 1857 before their ore was assayed. Had they lived they might have gone on to locate the Comstock Lode. Their cabin was ¼ - mile to the South.
Marker is on Main Street (Nevada Route 342) near Roses Road, on the left when traveling north.
