Newspaper records
Nevada State Journal - 15 Oct 1959, page 8
marriage licenses issued: Michael J. Schmitz, 21 of Reno, and Dorothy O. Price 30 of
Sparks.
I cannot locate the couple in 1960 & later telephone directories (so far).
There were also references to Dorothy Price, prior to this date as a guest at an Episcopal
Church function, bowling scores, and attending a Nevada Bell co-workers house warming
party.
1953 June 23 p.10 Nevada State Journal (but indexed as Reno Evening Gazette)
Deaths: PRICE - In Reno, June 20, 1953, Kathleen Ruth Price; infant daughter of Robert A.
& Dorothy Price of Reno; granddaughter of Mr & Mrs Walter F. Hayman of Sparks, and
Mrs Ruth Black of Long Beach CA. A native of Reno Nev. Friends are invited to attend
Funeral services on Tuesday at 10 'clock at the home chapel of Ross-Burke Co., with
the Rev Arthur V. Thurman of the Methodist Church clergy. Interment in Mountain View
Cemetery.
I'll keep looking under the name of Dorothy Schmitz. I'm not at all sure this is
a match for you. I also have some Twin Falls ID area directories if you'd like me to
check those?
Best of luck.
