Arline-
Thank you so much. The family 'story' has always been that John died in a mine
out West. I am so happy to have further information. The conditions were so terrible
then. I appreciate the information you have provided. Since John and Kate supposedly met
in North Whitefield Maine before marriage, then moved to Nevada (so the 1880 census
shows) with James and then had Thomas, I will investigate the marriage records here in
Maine, and also the birth records for James' birth. If you have any other ideas on
where I could find documentation of the time they were in Nevada I would be interested.
Thank you for your time and efforts with this matter. Sincerely, Ann
