In the 1930s, divorces were hard to get in many parts of the country. Those
who could afford to do so, went to Reno and, after establishing the necessary
six-week residency, got their divorce through the Washoe County court system.
My mother was one of the many women who went to Reno to divorce her first
husband.
What I request from this list is the address of the appropriate office to
write to so that I may find the records. Could someone please help?
Thank you,

Surname: Umber
-------------------------
Cal,
My biological grandfather was a man named Jerome "Jerry" Umber, of Reno,
Washoe County. He was married briefly to my grandmother, Audrey M. Brundidge,
and had one child, my mother, Lois Elaine Umber. She was later legally
adopted by Audrey's second husband, Donald I. Shields, a Captain of the
Reno Fire Dept. during the 1960's. Because of the circumstances of the
divorce, my mother was not really permitted to know her dad. There was
some contact, but very little. I know that he died in Reno, in September
of 1982, but I do not have an exact date of death, nor do I know where
he was buried, or even if he was buried. His second wife's name was Eleanor.
Any help you can give me on this would be great.....I don't know if there
are any living relatives of his still living, and I wouldn't know who they
were or how to get in touch with them. Thank you Cal!!!-(and anyone else
out there who might know something about the Umbers). --Jeanine

Surname: Waltz, Parker
-------------------------
Hi Cal!
My great-grandmother's sister, Mattie Parker, was married to Judge Guy
Waltz, who was a Judge there in Washoe County.
She was born in 1876, I believe, but I have very little other information
on her. I don't have birth or death information on the judge, either. I
was thinking that there might have been a pretty good-sized obituary for
him since he was a Judge. If you or anyone out there could give me more
informaiton on the Waltz/Parker families, I would be very grateful. Guy
and Mattie (marriage date?) had two children, Margaret, and William. Margaret
is still living. ------Thanks so much!!-Jeanine

Ray Reynolds BROWNELL;
He came to Washoe County, Reno around the 1920's. He lived with his daughter
Madge Pefley until his death. He was born in Iowa January 1844. The family
moved to Salt Lake City Utah and he and his wife lived there. After her
death he moved to Reno to be with his daughter. I believe he died around
the 1920's. I would like to know his date of death and his obituary.

I'm trying to locate the death record of William Fludder. He was born in
Indiana (Kosciusko Co?) 8 Oct 1848 and admitted to the Nevada Mental Health
Institute (then the Nevada Hospital for Mental Diseases)in Sparks, Washoe
Co on 3 Oct 1874. He showed up there as a patient in the 1910 census. The
hospital has no discharge info on him and neither the state nor county
have a death record. Any ideas??? I'm sure he must have died there. Is
there a cemetery close by where he could be buried? Does anyone know if
this hospital would have also "housed" mentally retarded patients?

Cal,
You seem to be the one man wrecking crew on the Washoe County Query Forum.
I was wondering if you might know the answer to these questions:
1.Who maintains or is responsible for the cemeteries between Nevada and
Angel Streets here in Reno(other than the Pythians , Grand Army and Hebrew(which
is well kept))?
2. Where do you think the plot maps would be?
3. Has anyone gone to take pictures of the existing inscriptions before
they are totally destroyed?
4. As to the 3 maintained cemeteries who would I call to gain access?
I only live a few blocks from there and I am getting myself worked up to
inscribe them if they have'nt been already. If they have I could use suggestions
where to find the information so that we could make it available to others.
Let me know what you think and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Margaret

Searching for any information on Lloyd Preston Davis. This is my father's
biological father. Lloyd and Edna Brown had a child together but Lloyd
supposably didn't want him. Edna then married Oris Mowery and he adopted
my father.
My father is Don Edwin (Davis) Mowery b. 8/10/1936 in Reno, Nevada. From
what my father has been told is that he owned and operated a big dairy
farm in or around Reno that supplied milk all over Nevada. He may have
already passed away but my father would be interested in hearing from anyone
who knew him or is related to him.
