Can some kind soul out there help me? I am trying to determine if someone died in
Virginia City (John Franklin Davis) between 1860-1866. I know that Nevada did not pass a
law requiring birth and death registration until 1911 but wondering when the Territorial
Enterprise started? Maybe an obit there. OR...possibly someone has the mortality index
for 1870? OR...someone has a cemetery list for Virginia City? Below is what I have...
1860 census: John F. Davis, Sarah M. Davis, and Augusta Davis in Virginia City
Betw. 1860-66: Sarah is widowed
1866: Sarah marries William Bastain in Alpine Co., Calif (just up the Carson Pass from
Carson Valley)
Any help appreciated.
