Message Board Post:
I am looking for help locating my father and his family in the 1940 census. They were
living in Ruth, Nevada and my grandfather worked for the Ruth Copper Co.
Thomas C. Powell, head, born 1889 in Alliance, Ohio;
Catherine Powell, wife, born in Samaria, Idaho;
Thomas C. Powell, Jr, son, born in Cherry Creek, Idaho 1915;
Catherine Powell, daughter, born in Cherry Creek, Idaho 1921;
Isabell Powell, daughter, born in Cherry Creek, Idaho 1919.
My grandfather worked as a locomotive fireman in Ruth, according to his death certificate.
He died in September of 1940 at the age of 50. He has been living in Ruth for 2 years.
His body was returned to Idaho for burial.
I have searched Ruth, Ely, Wabuska, and everything in between. I have also searched
variations on the name.
Any advice would be appreciatel.
Shirley Paro
