Thanks for this article. I think it may be him. Perhaps if I let you know what we are
trying to solve you may have some other information. Oddie Dick was a friend and
co-worker of Henry Riehl at Express Transfer in Carson City. On Dec. 30, 1902, Henry
Riehl left home and was never seen again. Between 1902 and 1910 there had been at least
one body found in the Carson area which was not identified. Rumor has it that the body
was found with a hat similar to one worn by Henry. We have extensively searched
cemeteries, census data, etc. and find no evidence of him either in Nevada or California.
We are trying to locate any newspaper articles which mention finding this or other bodies
during that time period. Also, we thought it may help to find any living relatives of
Oddie Dick who might know something.
We really appreciate your help.
