John Gregovich
John Gregovich was a Serbian American merchant and Nevada Senator in the late 19th century. A member of the Silver Party during his tenure as senator, Gregovich later helped take on the cases of various Serbian and Montenegrin immigrants living in Tonopah after a mine fire in 1911.
He was murdered in 1912 by fellow immigrant Andriza Mircovich, who remains the only person executed by firing squad in the state of Nevada.
His house in Tonopah, the John Gregovich House, is a historic home listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
