A note from Leitha, originally found with 0672.php: There is a Eugene Trefethren born 09 Nov 1916 died Jan 1985 at Carlisle, Elko Nevada. We found him in the phone book on one of our trips to Las Vegas, called only to find that he’d died a year or so before. His widow knew nothing about the family, her husband didn’t discuss them, apparently there were hard feelings. He even spelled his name TREFETHREN. Unknown who his first wife was. There’s a Leola that may be the second wife (I’ve forgotten after all this time) born 08 May 1913 died February 1989, no place of residence or place of issue.
Also from Leitha on 0672.php: William Trefethren born 11 Apr 1940, died 12 Oct 199 born in Wendover, Elko County Nevada, card issued Nevada 1952 - 1953. He’s probably Eugene’s son.
