I did look through all the ones in Lincoln County with no luck, I found the Kiernan family
and the Conaway family, These families are related to Peter Anderson, His daughter
Philippa married John Kiernan, and Philippa's daughter Viola married John Conaway.
Peter's wife Christina son Julius and daughter Josephine are all buried in SLC Utah,
But no trace of Peter there either. I believe since he was a miner he may have died in a
mining accident and buried in Nevada somewhere. Possibly a mine called the Viola silver
mine, in the Old Long Valley District. I am not even sure this mine exsisted but I have
been told that newspaper stories exsist that indicates John Kiernan owned this mine.
Don't know how I can find out if this is true or if it would lead to newspaper stories
about Peter Anderson. Any advice or information would be wonderful.
