Nine Mile Cemetery is located in Wallace, Shoshone County, Idaho.
"Originally this was at three separate cemeteries: the United Cemetery, Miners Union Cemetery and Catholic Cemetery. Each one of the original cemeteries is now a section of the larger cemetery.
It is under the umbrella of the Nine Mile Cemetery Association, Inc, which was organized in 1965, and operates under a board of directors.
Contact the Wallace District Mining Museum for information."
"The historic cemetery has graves dating from the 1880s and is located in a forested setting on a fairly steep hillside. Graves include those from the early mining days of the Silver Valley and include the grave of Edward Pulaski, a hero of Idaho’s “Big Blowup” fires of 1910. He invented a tool still used today, “The Pulaski,” which has become standard equipment in the Northern Rockies Division of the U.S. Forest Service."
