I was having a problem with my internet connection, and couldn't view the newspapers
available here at Ancestry, but after a call to my provider today, I was finally able to
access them, and found the clipping you refer to, as well as the obits, and some probate
notices. I already had the census records, as well as a draft registration card, but I
sure thank you for pointing out the newspapers, as I'd forgotten to even check those
which are available here.
This sad little tale helps to flesh out the family story, which my daughter-in-law's
mother had mentioned, about being present in the house when her father committed suicide.
It seems just prior to the event, she had spoken to him rather sharply, because she was
torn between her father and her young son, who also needed attention. While she was
attending to her son, she heard the gun go off, and apparently has been wracked with guilt
ever since, because she felt she might have somehow contributed to it. That's silly,
of course, but it does serve to help my daughter-in-law understand some things.
I'm a little surprised that the article you mentioned, "Reno Resident is Found
Dead" from the Reno Evening Gazette, is really the only one that is barely explicit
about the event, and that there wasn't a more in-depth story about it.
Thank you again, for originally pointing me to the newspaper articles, and thank you for
taking the time to help me out.
Pat
