This is a small, but interesting site, located right off HWY US-93 in the Pahranagat Valley.  It’s an historic site, as this area of Nevada was very young, from a non-Native American settlers perspective (whereas, the Native Americans have been in this area for many thousands of years).  Here’s a snippet from his entry on the Find A Grave website:

“He was a government surveyor for several years. Dr. Hoyt was a learned man and a medical graduate, having graduated from the Cincinnati Medical Institute, his first preceptor being Dr. W.C. Scott. He practiced medicine in the Eastern States for several years. His illness dates back to 1893, from which he has been a constant surgeon (unclear) till his demise. The cause of his death was Bright’s disease (kidney) and consumption (Tuberculosis). Dr. Hoyt was a typical gentleman and has been known in this section for a number of years, although his residence here has not been continuous. He was a man of very pleasant disposition and address, withal, a man who made many friends wherever he went. The taking away of such a man has cast a deep gloom over the community, evincing the regard in which he was held, and teaching again the lesson of the uncertainty of life.”
