Message Board Post:
Your posting is relatively old, you may have already received your answer. Many times
volunteers directly email information without posting the same data, or even indicating
the information was sent.
Bottom line first: The information found identifies Albert did live in Reno "at one
time." He may not have died or was buried there. His residency in an apartment(s)
appears to indicate he lived alone. If so, and he had no family or friends in the area,
there may not be an obit. Many elderly do not have obits published for many reasons.
Hopefully you will be able to at least find his death location, a death notice might have
been published. If he did not have family, he may have also been cremated.
The Social Security Death Index:
Albert W. Larkin, born 30 Dec 1915, died 2 Mar 1997, SSN: 019-10-9967, isued in
Massachusetts before 1951. The "last residence:" Reno, Washoe Co, NV.
---NOTE: The "last residence" on the SSDI is NOT necessarily where a person
actually lived or died. The Social Security Administration calls it simply the "home
of record," and possibly the address where correspondence by the SSA was sent. It is
not necessarily where any benefit was paid to the person, survivor, or the lumpsum death
benefit (in 1972 was paid to anyone paying burial expenses, family member, funeral home,
city/county, attorney). It is sometimes the location where the notification of death was
sent to the SSA, sometimes where the lump sum death benefit was sent.
I checked the Washoe County Recorder's Office, there were no documents filed in his
name (marriage, property, liens, wills, etc).
I checked the Washoe County Court database (criminal, civil, divorce, probate, etc). It
only goes to 2001.
I checked the federal courts system (bankruptcy, etc), no records in his name.
I found an address for an Al Larkin, 214 Lake St. #91, Reno 89501. This appears to be an
apartment.
--Another listing identifies: Albert Larkin, born 30 Dec 1915 as living at 214 N. Lake St,
and another shows him in #87. There were 42 persons at this address, up to age 50, but no
additional Larkins. Period of time was 1950-1993.
--It is currently a hotel:

From a genealogy page: "Ruby E. Caviness, born about 1910 in
Calhoun Co, Mississippi, possibly married an Albert W. Larkin." BUT, there is no
proof or further information.
