I'm searching for any information on James Laughlin who lived in Pioche, Lincoln, Nevada 1872-1876.
James Laughlin and his wife Mary Ann Hadley moved to Pioche, Nevada in 1872 from Idaho to work for a mining company. He hired on to run a freight wagon with supplies for the miners and their families. James had worked for the Wells Fargo Company in Eagle Rock, Idaho.
James was born in Ireland and his wife Mary Ann was born in Derbyshire, England. While in Pioche, a son and daughter were born to them.
Tragically, in 1875/1876 James was killed in a runaway freight wagon accident and was buried in Pioche. Mary Ann's family came to get her and she and her children moved back to Ogden, Utah.
Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated.
Gratefully,
