Hello:
I found a few bits of information for you.
www.nevadaculture.org with a people search I found:
1870
Monteverde, Dominick 31, Catholic Clergyman, born Italy in White Pine, Hamilton page 83 household number 1420
1880
Monteverde, D 40 Catholic Priest born Italy Eureka, Eureka page 61 household number 630.
Doing a search with Ancestry.com I find the 1880 name is spelled Montiverde (with an I).
Thompson and West History of Nevada 1881 (reprint) has references also. Pages 205, 206, 438.
Page 205 The Churches of Nevada. chapter XXVII The Roman Catholic church. Churches Built.
In 1872 a church was organized at Belmont, of which the Rev. Father Monteverde has charge; and in 1874 a church edifice was built at a cost of $3,000. There has been no priest stationed there, and they have never had regular services. The Rev. Father Phelan, of Austin, now visits Belmont once or twice a years. No Sunday-school has been in session there since 1874. In 1871, Father Monteverde built a frame church (St. Brendan's) at Eureka. Three years later a brick church, with a stone foundation, was erected by Father Hynes. etc. etc.
Page 206. Early Clergymen
Those who are officiating to-day are the Rev. Joseph Phelan, at Austin; the Rev. D Monteverde at Eureka, etc etc
Page 438 History of Eureka, Nevada
Statistics for 1878-80
The Presbyterian Church was in charge of Rev. G.w. Gallagher, the Catholic church in charge of Father Monteverde, and the Episcopalian church in charge of Rev. c.b. Crawford. The population of the county in 1880 was 7,086. etc.
Hope this helps you out a little bit.
