George Melzner is listed in the 1880 census for Gold Hill, Storey, Nevada and you can see
it on line at
www.familysearch.org. This might be your George except it shows his fathers
birthplace as Wisconsin but that could be in error. It matches information above in
marriages
Fred Sherbruck male 46 born Baden occupation express
man , Chrisa Sherbruck wife age 37 born H. Darn. keeping house mother and father from
Germany. George Melzner stepson age 15 born Nevada Student. Fathers birthplace
Wisconsin. Mothers birthplace H. Darn.
I also fond a George Melzner in the 1910 census that could be yours.
1910 census California Santa Clara Twp, Santa Clara. George Melzner age 40 born about
1870 in Nevada. you can find this on page 5B line 86. This listing is for the Agnes
State Hospital. The age and birthdate is off but it could be the hospital didn't have
correct info.
Hope some of this belongs to your Melzner's
