Your answers have helped me make up my mind about writing and sending a check to both Las Vegas and Reno for a divorce search, maybe even a marriage search. I've already found one marriage in the 1960's by this same Jacobs in Las Vegas. I just have a feeling that this is a pattern with him as well as many sailors. Thanks again, TJ

Jacobs during 1940 - 1950 to an unknown bride in Washoe County, Nevada. Chances are that the bride was a Mexican lady that he met in California while stationed there by the US Navy. Also, could people get a quickie undetested divorce in Los Vegas or Rio Nevada (Washoe Co., is Rio, right?), or did they have to go to Mexico for this? If it is Mexico, where would they have gone in Mexico from California for this quickie divorce and how would I go about finding this record? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks, TJ

S. from about 1890 till about 1920's. The last person I knew who was named 'Belle' was a friend's mother who was born about 1915. Haven't heard of it since. I copied what was in the newspaper....Doraugh. I know where the Hillside Cemetery is located as I use to live just a couple blocks away from it. It's in the general vacinity of the University of Nevada at Reno (UNR).The cemetery is in rather sad shape with a few headstones still standing and with no greenery or trees, just dirt surrounded by a chainlink metal fence. I don't know why the gravestone would have the 'Doragh' spellling. I'll see what I can find at the cemetery for you. I would think that the newspaper spelling would be the one that her family used.
