Horace John Chalmers born in Scotland and came to Nevada by which means I'm unsure.
He married Anne banks b: London, England and she is on the Nevada 1920 Census and
California 1930 Census. There was a Catherine or Kate Chalmers who lived in Acton, CA she
was my great aunt.
Horace John Chalmers my grandfather was born in Nevada around Silver City or Virginia
City. The old homestead is beneath Sharon's Restaurant, in case you have been there.
He was a plasterer.
His wife was Gladys Irene Brown, born in Souix City, Iowa, 1894? But her family was from
Illinois. She passed away in September 1986? They had three children, Margaret, Alice,
Horace John, and Anne.
Horace John was my Dad and I only have one Aunt left and that is Anne.
I have other info such as "Lord" Louis Chalmers from England and I'm not
sure where he fits in. There is also an Alexander Chalmers. If this info is of any help,
please email me
