Since Maude was Maude Small prior to her marriage, it is to be assumed that these are her brothers. All were born in Indiana and George and Joseph were listed at Teamsters.Received from Lee Mortensen, Nevada Historical Society 7/22/98 (have xerox copies of both) From "A General Business And Mining Directory of Storey, Lyon, Ormsby, and Wasage Counties, Nevada", compiled by John D.
