Message Board Post:
Can someone pinpoint the location of Trail Creek, believed to be in Esmeralda Co., NV?
I have an inscription in a book that says --
From Ada to Mama, Trail Creek, Nevada, Nov. 11, 1905.
Of course, the next problem is identifying the family name. At the moment I haven't a
clue beyond this inscription.
I tried the 1900 Esmeralda Co., NV, census for the name Ada, hoping to find a daughter
around 15 years old, give or take 5 years, but came up empty.
And the 1910 census has 3 daughters named Ada, but all were too young for the book's
1905 inscription. Of the remaining 8 Adas, Ada O. Meek, b. ca. 1891 in OK, is the best
possibility. She was the wife of William A. Meek and appears to have been newly married.
However, LDS IGI has that they were married in 1909 in Craig Co., OK. So I'm back to
Square One.
