About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

There are two graves east of the town of Bonnie Claire. The town of Bonnie Claire is across the highway from the Bonnie Claire Mill ruins and Lippencott Lead Mine.
A stamp mill built in the 1880s led to formation of a camp at Thorp's Wells which is one mile Southeast of Bonnie Claire. The area experienced slow growth over the next 20 years. Another mill was built in 1904. In 1906 the Bullfrog-Goldfield Railroad arrived in Bonnie Claire and it became the main shipping center for the mines of Gold Mountain ten miles to the Northwest.
In 1907 the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad arrived. The railroad tracks ran between the town of Bonnie Claire and the grave site. The collapse of the Rhyolite mining industry led to the demise of Bonnie Claire. By 1911, only 50 residents were left. The last railroad service ended in 1927. By 1931, the population was only two people. A mill operated from 1951 to 1952. Afterwards, Bonnie Clare became a ghost town.
