Karen,
I'm not aware of funeral home records for Storey County during that time period. The
Storey County Recorder has a historical records search available at
http://www.storeycounty.org/Recorder/ADSRecorder.asp. I did a quick search for Reavey, but
didn't see any obvious match. I've ordered records from them via regular mail and
called them on numerous occasions over the last few months and found them to be friendly
and helpful.
There are additional search options noted at
http://www.storeycounty.org/recorder/historic
records search.asp, including a link to a newspaper archive from that ere. I've found
that the Territorial Enterprise was pretty gossipy in nature and would often note births,
deaths and even something as trivial as hunting trips in their pages.
I am working with the National Archives here in San Francisco on an index to the civil
court records from early Nevada. I should have a searchable database based on my work in a
few weeks. When I do, I look up Peter's name and let you know if he shows up.
