Would Some Kind Soul go to the Ross Burke & Knobel Mortuary in Reno, Washoe
Cnty, and ask for a copy of the funeral home record of subject?
Lillian died June 02, 1981. I have written RBK twice and they decline to
respond. I am particularly interested in the date and place of marriage
to Thomas J. Appleton, MD (they lived in Seattle from <1934 until 1944).
Thanks in advance.

Surname: LETTERMAN
-------------------------
The only Letterman I could find in the Nevada Historical Society records
was a James Letterman.
It was in the Territorial Enterprise {Storey County}.
May 16, 1871 - James Letterman was arrested at Genoa for theft of horses
in California.
I also check census records with no matches.
Do you have some dates that would help in where to look?

Diane,
The records are available at the Nevada State Library in Carson City (about
two blocks from where the orphanage was located) on microfilm - I have
the records to 1920 but I have seen the microfilm and there are available
records up until they closed in the early 60's.
Upstairs, in the archives, are the original books that the microfilm was
derived from.
Good Luck! Doreen

I happened across these teachers attendance records at the Nevada Historical
Society yesterday and put them in the archives for Washoe county.
They aren't much, but I remember you asking and I figured if one person
is looking there are others.

An open thanks to Cal for the info you sent me on William Fludder. That
little scrap of paper you found where he stated he wasn't responsible for
debits of Phoebe A. Fludder led me to a divorce record filed in the
District Court of the 2nd Judicial District. William & Phoebe were married
10 Jun 1873 in Winnemucca and were divorced 14 Apr 1875 - she was the
plaintiff. There were three "causes" listed - his inability to consummate
the marriage (she claimed that he was "utterly impotent"), the fact that
they lived together only three days(!) after the marriage ceremony, and
that he was "incurably insane" (he was admitted to the mental hospital 3
Oct 1874). And she chose to revert to her maiden name - either Doan or
Doam I believe. Unfortunately, the handwriting in this document wasn't the
best 8-)
Sounds like one of the "black sheep" of the family!
Thanks again, Cal! You never know what a little scrap of paper may lead
to!!!

Looking for information on the following couple, my Great Grandparents.
Andrew and Mary Neilson are both buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Reno,
Washoe County. I called the Cemetery today and got their death dates. But
the cemetery does not keep records of their births or if it is listed on
the tombstone. I am trying to figure out their age, where in Denmark they
were from and if any other family came over with them. Andrew Christian
Neilson died Jan. 2, 1929. His wife died March 26, 1924.
Thank you Sincerely Tiffany Luchetta
