Hi Jackie,
I don't know if you are still looking for information on Joseph Oseletto or not but it
you go to Pioche's website at (
http://www.piochenevada.com/history.htm) they have a
picture of Joseph in his Saloon. Not a great picture but if you write to the Museum they
would probably send you a copy. and possibly more information. We recently went to Pioche
this summer searching for information on our family who lived in Bullionville and are
buried in the old cemetery there. (the Kiernan Family). Pioche is a very old historic
town, many of the buildings still stand. But they still have no grocery store, they rely
on the Schwan man.
I recognized the name Oseletto from my own research in Pioche and thought I would see what
I could find.
Anyway I found a Joseph D Oseletto born 1884 died 1941 buried in the Pioche Masonic
Cemetery (located half a block from the Boot Hill Cemetery and the Pioche Cemetery. There
is also a Michael Oseletto buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Pioche, born 13 ?? 1855. and
died 6 Dec 1912 Heastone reads "Father".
I found Joseph & Katheline in the 1930 Pioche census. it lists him as a hotel
Porprietor. immigrated 1906.
In the World War I military draft records for Lincoln County Nevada taken between 1917-18
a Giuseppe Oseletto born 18 Oct 1884 It lists him as W Italian; rel.lives Salt Lake City,
lives in Lincoln County NV
Hope this helps, if I find any other info I will post it.
