Mrs. Lothrop writes: Some time ago I read an article in your maga-zine in which you described a visit to some of ourwestern cemeteries, and I regretted that you did notvisit also the old cemetery at Dayton, Nevada. Thereyou would have found the grave of an old manwho, I think, ivould have been of much interest toyou. His name was Morton West Stiles and hisgrave is marked with a Mexican War Veteransmonument. Stiles was with Commodore Sloat when theCommodore took Monterey, and it was he whomthe Commodore sent ashore to place the flag onthe old Custom House in Monterey. I am wellacquainted with the history of this old man, havingknown him all my life
