Hi,
The record of Levi's marriage to Susie could have been a record keeping mistake.
However Nevada Marriages 1860-1987 says it can be found at the Lander Co. Courthouse,
Marriage Book, Vol. 1, p. 83.
However, I didn't find any census records with Levi and Susie and I did find census
records with Levi and Mary.
That leads me to believe that Susie died or was divorced. Death records weren't
required by the State until 1887. Birth records weren't either and can be found in the
Catholic or Episcopal offices. For contact info, see
http://nsla.nevadaculture.org/index.php?opti...
Divorce records weren't required by the state until 1968. From 1862 on they were kept
by the County Clerk, 775-237-5262 or send them an email to clerk(a)landercounty.org.
There is also a Lander County obituary volunteer at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~obitl/volnv.html .
Scroll down to Lander Co. and click on the second listing.
There is a list of old newspapers on microfilm at the University of Nevada-Reno at
http://knowledgecenter.unr.edu/help/web_ref...
Look for Reese River Reveille .
You can also ask your local library for an inter-library loan of the newspaper's
microfilm. They'll find out which library has it and ask them to send it to them.
Successful Searching!
