Surname: Kiesel, McKenney, Pepper, Shoffner, Smith, Tannehill
-------------------------
I have new information about this family found from various sources including
the 1910 census:
Frank and Effie (Morey) Tannehill had a daughter not enumerated in the
1920 census listed in the previous message: Hazel Viola Tannehill b. 1
Jan 1901 in Colorado m. Mr. Kiesel. I don't know his given name. I do know
that she d. 19 Jan 1989 in Glendale, Los Angeles County, California.
Also - the youngest daughter, Effie Tannehill, m. Mr. Shoffner. . . possibly
Henry Harrison Shoffner who d. in 1984 and is buried in the Fallon (Churchill
County) cemetery. Effie d. 28 Apr 1989 but she was not buried in the same
cemetery with Henry.
Marion Smith and his brother, Arthur Allen Smith, also lived in Wonder,
Churchill County, a mining town that ceased to exist after about 1924 when
the mine and its equipment was razed.
Marion Smith had a step-daughter, Glady Ruth Pepper. I have no idea if
she used Pepper as her surname or if she used Smith. Her mother, Annie
B. [-?-] Pepper Smith is buried in the Fallon Cemetery having died in 1939.
Can anyone tell me more of these families or put me in touch with any of
their descendants? Thank you.
