Doreen Robinson used to be active compiling all types of information about
Nevada and selling it in books that are still be available from:

(Search for "Nevada" on the site and the various volumes will come up. The
site's surname search doesn't bring up Chitten, but she is there in the
"Territorial Enterprise Announcements, 1866-1867" volume nonetheless.)
I went through all my paper versions of her various compendia and found no
other Chitten/Chatten/Chattin/Chitten/etc. I also found none of these names
in inventories of the cemeteries in Virginia City, Gold Hill, Silver City,
Dayton, or Carson City. (However, note that many of these cemeteries were in
poor condition by the time the first extant inventories were done, in the
1950s and 1960s, so many graves were lost.)
Sadly, the Territorial Enterprise is not yet online, and in the early years
many of the issues have been lost.
Also, Ms. Robinson's volumes are compendia, and while she did a remarkable
job with these, if there is more information in the newspaper it would not
be listed here. The way to find that information is to contact the Nevada
Historical Society, 775-688-1190 (1650 No. Virginia St., Reno, NV 89503),
http://museums.nevadaculture.org//index.php?option=com_content&task=v...
446&Itemid=122 . A reference librarian should be able to look up the notice
in the 8/04/1866 newspaper.

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for more information on Lucretia W. CHITTEN, who died 29 Jul
1866. Her death was reported in the Territorial Enterprise newspaper in
Virginia City on 8/4/1866.
When I first found this vital on Ancestry, the source was listed as
"Robinson, Doreen. Territorial Enterprise Birth, Marriage, & Death Notices
(Virginia City, Nevada), 1866-67 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA:
Ancestry.com".
However I've been unable to locate any additional information about this
database or this particular death notice. I've also been unable to contact
Doreen Robinson, who apparently compiled the information. She has posted in
these forums up until about 2006 but doesn't seem to be active these days.
Does anyone know anything about this database and where I might look to see
if the death notice for Lucretia W. Chittin has any other information
besides her name and date of death?
Thanks to all who took the time to read this query,
Ron Niquette
