Reno Evening Gazette November 30, 1910 page 7 Death of Pioneer
L. B. Hastings died at the Legate residence on North B street yesterday
morning of debility from old age aggravated by dropsy. He arrived in
California in the fifties and with a brother was proprietor of a hardware
house in Sacramento. He came to Nevada in 1862 and served as clerk in the
Ormsby house in Carson City. Later he arrived on the Comstock and held
the office of deputy county recorder. Subsequently he was appointed clerk
of the Nevada State prison holding that position eight years. Returning
to this city in the late seventies he held the office clerk in the justice
court under Judge Moses. He was an expert accountant and filled the
foregoing positions with credit. Descendent was native of New York, aged
75 years, and leaves a sister, four grandchildren, two step-daughters,
residing in that state and two step-daughters in California. Virginia
Chronicle.
My Note; Ormsby House was a hotel in Carson City, Nevada. The word
Comstock refers to the Virginia City area. Virginia Chronicle was one of
the Virginia City, Nevada newspapers.
Nevada issued burial certificates before they made it a rule in July of
1911 to issue actual death certificates. You will have a certificate of
burial from Storey county. That lists the date of burial not the a tual
death date.
Hope this helps your research.
