− | |2= | + | |2=Two weeks ago, workers digging on a Truckee Meadows Water Authority project discovered human remains, including a skull and other bones. They put the bones in a bag, which was found by nearby residents. The area where the remains were discovered is city property, but for many years, it was state property that housed what was then the Nevada State Hospital. From 1882 to 1949, hundreds of patients at the hospital -- now Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services -- were buried on the site in a potter's field, records show. Other community residents also were buried there. |
