I am looking for information regarding Dr. Joel GRAMMER, who died 15 July 1861 in Virginia City, Washoe Valley, Carson Co., Nevada Territory. At the time of his death he was survived (at least) by his wife, Lydia GRAMMER, and children Mary, Ellen, Katherine (Catherine) and Joel. Dr. GRAMMER was originally from Illinois and moved in June of 1859 to Nevada Territory, shortly after the fabulously rich vein of gold and silver known as the Comstock Lode had been discovered . It is very likely that he moved there in response to the urging of his wife Lydia's brother-in-law, Emanual PENROD, one of the original developers of the Comstock Lode. Any information would be most appreciated. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
