Hosea B. Grosh
Second son of Rev. A.B. Grosh of Marietta PA. He died in Gold Canyon (near Silver City) of blood poisoning from a foot wound on Sept. 2nd 1857 at the age of 31.
He was the first person to be buried in the Silver City Cemetery.
His mining claim was 1/4 mile from the comstock lode, but his luck ran out when he hit his own foot with a pick axe. His partner and brother Ethan died later that year. Their ore was assayed after thier deaths and proved that their claim would have been the richest one in Nevada had they lived.
