I do remember a Farnsworth family in Goldfield in the late 1940's and the 1950's.
I believe the father was Clarence and they had sons, Clarence "Boots" and
younger son who, I believe had had polio. I think that was Robert. It seems to me that
after we left Goldfield that Robert was hit by a car and may have been killed. This would
have been after 1956. I think the family may have moved shortly after that. They lived a
couple of blocks down a hill and west of us. I went to school with "Boots" and
may have a picture somewhere.....maybe in my yearbook if not others. He was a couple of
years older than me, but there were so few kids in Goldfield at that time that we all ran
around together. I went to 4th grade in Goldfield and then Frosh and first half of my
Soph year in Tonopah while living in Goldfield. In between we always spent part of the
summer and most holidays with our great grandparents in Goldfield.
If the family with "Boots" and Robert is the one you are looking for, let me
know and I will see if I can unearth some pictures.
Also check out the Reno newspapers. They are online now and Goldfield news was always
in them. You can type in a name and the internet site will search the papers for you.
