Please note this memorial was originally created by a known fictionalizer on FindAGrave. The photos of people he added were generally stock and historical photos of unidentified people, and not those named in the memorials. Some photos were used multiple times. Such photos have been deleted almost entirely from Silver Terrace cemeteries, but the same has yet to be done for Gold Hill. Data such as full birth dates and places (when not shown on the gravestone) generally have no source and were invented. If you added these photo and "facts" to your family tree, please be sure to verify everything carefully.∼Edwin was 21 years old when he died in an accident at the Savage Mine, possibly in Elko County, NV or in Virginia City, NV. Birth and death dates are approximate.

Inscription
Sacred to the Memory of our Dear Son & Brother
EDWIN CHAMPION
Who departed this life
February 22nd A.D. 1873
Aged 21 Years
native of Cornwall, England
[Oddfellows chain]
Yesterday I was in the bloom of health,
To-day I am numbered with the dead.
Alas! I am laid here at my length,
In death's cold icy bed.
Nearer to thee, my God, nearer to thee.
