Found this in the Reno Evening Gazette newspaper for 09-25-1928 page 6.
He drops dead while at work.
As he was unloading lumber from a box car, John A. Thomas, forty eight years old, dropped
dead yesterday afternoon. A heart attack caused his death. He had started on his job in
the morning and he had been in Reno only a few days.
Papers found in his cabin showed that he was retired from the U.S. Infantry after twenty
years of service, and he held the rank off first sergeant. His six-year-old daughter had
been living with him. His wife is believed to be living in China.
Funeral services will be announced later, and the body is at the Ross-Burke mortuary.
Hope it gives you a clue or two on your search.
