[or-roots] Interesting Oregon Information

[Kith-n-Kin]

Nancy, Goldfield is in Esmeralda County, NV. So, you were right, and so was whoever said Esmeralda <G>.

Here's something interesting: http://dmla.clan.lib.nv.us/docs/NSLA/archives/myth/myth06.htm

I have a couple of old whiskey bottles that my Mom and I dug out of the town dump in Goldfield, back when
you could do such things. Maybe I should label one as "Wyatt Earp gave this bottle to his brother Virgil a
few days before his death" or something, make a little money to keep up with this hobby.

Virgil W. Earp is buried at the Riverview Cemetery west end of the Sellwood Bridge over looking the
Willamette River, Portland Oregon..along with his daughter Nellie Jane Earp.
He died October 19, 1905 in Esmeraldo NV.    (I always read it was Goldfield, NV. he died) 
 
I was told as a little girl by my grandmother I was related to him, so ever since I have been fascinated
by the Earps. 
I have not found the connection yet though.
