I have located a tombstone with the name "Edmond Brassard, died
_________________," at the bottom "age 34." In my research, it says that
Edmond died in 1885 or 1886.
The stone was in several pieces and is now repaired but there is missing information where
the stone was broken. Also the name Brassard appears at the bottom, before age 34, and
that could mean that he was the son of _____ Brassard or there was another name on the
tombstone.
I did find in the 1880 census of Nevada, North Ruby, Elko, a John Brassard age 19, born
Canada, and Edmond Brassard, brother, age 28, born Canada. This Edmond Brassard could be
the one on the tombstone.
Any information that anyone can provided will be greatly appreciated.
