Jim and Doreen,
I have an old paperback on Genoa from 1976. I found a few references to
the Gelatt's in it. There is a map showing mainstreet of Genoa. On the
S.E. corner of Main and Fifth St.'s is Tingham Livery Stable and in parenthesis
it says "Gelatt's after 1874". On the N.W. corner of Main and Fifth is
Courier Printing Co. and to the North of it on Main Street is "Gelatt Res.".On
the next page of the book is a picture of "Gelatt's Livery Stable". A few
pages later there is a reference to businesses of the day and "Stage lines
were operated by Raycraft Bros. at their livery stable at the upper end
of town(south) and by Dick Gelatt's Livery Stable just opposite the Courthouse.
Also on this page is a picture of the same Livery Stable burning down in
1910(written on picture "Gelette Barn, Genoa, Nv.Burned June 28, 1910".
Doreen, maybe this will help you when you go searching.
