The oldest city-owned cemetery west of the Mississippi River, burial place of some 10,000 people, is a sate site of historical interest. The earliest burials here are Harriet Murphy Pike (Mrs. Michael Nye), who, at age 21, was a member of the ill-fated Donner Party and walked for 32 days from Lake Tahoe to Wheatland to seek aid for her family and co-travelers; Edward Duplex, the first African-American mayor (elected in Wheatland, 1868) of a city on the Pacific Coast; former Japanese Minister Charles DeLong; Marysville founder Charles Covillaud; and Wells Fargo driver George Hackett, who once bounced buckshot off the scalp of renowned stagecoach robber Black Bart.
