I am looking for info on my g-grandmother, Martha "Mattie" Emma Gross, who was
supposedly born in Virginia City on 18 Mar 1866. Her father was Bailey Harbert Gross, who
was born in Illinois, married in Iowa, and died in Washington State. What he was doing in
Virginia City I don't know (mining?). Mattie's mom was, possibly, Julia Ann Rice,
born in Ohio, died in Washington, or perhaps Martha Custer. My grandfather said his
grandma's name was Martha Custer, but the LDS site lists J.A. Rice. Julia's
mother was Mary Furman, who died in Virgnia City 4 Mar 1880. Father was Alvin Rice, D: 8
Oct 1862 in Virginia City. I'd appreciate any help.
