Allen, Calvin, Edwards, McCoy, Swindell |
My Great-Grandmother, Mary Adelaide Swindell, was born in Illinois in 1867; married Bode Allen September 5, 1881 in Nye County, Nevada. Her second husband was Samuel Robert Calvin and her third husband was Peter McCoy. She died in February 1950 in Reno, and is buried in Knights of Pythias Cemetery in Reno. Her obituary in the paper, states that Mrs. Peter McCoy of 73 High Street in Reno passed away. Did she get interred under that name also? Her father, John Swindell is also buried there as well as her son-in-law Alfred Edwards and his wife Rose Amelia (Allen) Edwards. I would like information about this cemetery and my relatives who are buried there. |

Roberts |
Mary Roberts died in San Francisco Dec 1, 1909. Interment was at Hillside Cemetery in Reno, NV on Dec 5, 1909. I have found the other relatives listed in that Cemetery but not my GGGrandmother. Hillside Cemetery is located on Nevada Street near the University of Nevada and opened in 1879. Could she be in another Cemetery? I have her death certificate and funeral home paper. |

McCloud |
I am searching for the obituary of my biological uncle,
Loyd Dean McCloud. He was born on 27/5/1938 and died, I believe,
in Washoe NV on 1/7/2006. I am the birth daughter of his brother,
Lawrence McCLoud. They had lost contact many years ago. I am
living in London and was a G.I. 'baby'.
I never knew about my father until I was 40. I found my b. father in 1993. He
lives in Shasta CA now. I would like to find out who it was
that took care of my uncle and hopefully will find that out
in the obituary so that I can tell my father? |

Cadagan, Clay |
The Clay's and the Cadagan's came to Nevada
in the 1870's and 1880's. They were involved with the railroad and grocery business. Looking in the census they were also
somehow involved in the Paiute Indians at Pyrimid Lake for at least 10 years. Is there anyone who could or would be
interested in helping me do some research. Thank you. |
