Valerie,
Hugh Vair is buried in the cemetery and his name is on the new memorial. We really don't have much information about him other than he was 70, from Canada, and that he was listed on the hospital's death register. It said he was buried in the asylum grounds. I would suggest you contact the State Archives. They have all the commitment papers. You may get more information from those. Also, you may want to request a death certificate from the State. That would be available to family.
If you have not checked out the Friends' website, there is a great deal of information about the cemetery. It is at http://friendsofnorthernnevadaadultmentalhealthservicescemet...
Please feel to email me directly at mifieldni@yahoo.com if you have any other questions.
I'll be happy to try to help you.
Carolyn
