Ada May died April 26, 1933 age 58
William died Mar 16, 1933 age 25
Both are buried in the Knights of Pythias section

Your Grandmother and her son are side by side and have what looks to be a bronze headstone but as the graves are surrounded by farm wire fencing even though there are gates I could not open either to get close to the graves. The stone is covered with dirt so could not read half of it. All I could read was William M. with Beloved Brother below . In a couple weeks I will go back and get my daughter to open one fence. Will take pictures and if I have your e-mail could send them.

Thank you. We actually made a trip to Goldfield last June and located the graves. Thank you for taking the time to look and to reply. I appreciate your kindness. Jacqueline O'Donnell

Was there a son Louis? My dad, Ray Jepperson, was raised in Goldfield and played basketball with Louie Koontz in high school. If he is related to you, I have a few pictures of the basketball team that he is in. Email me. thatzaneladyatyahoo.com (change "at" to @.

Yes, Louis was Ada's son. I found them on the 1930 Goldfield census:
Koontz, Ada
John H.
William
Louis K. Jr
Charles D.

My Dad played basketball with Louis Koontz in Goldfield in the late 1920's-early 1930's. I have a photograph of that team with Louis in it. I would be happy to share if you would like a copy. I also found Ada Koontz on the 1930 Goldfield census. If you don't have that, let me know and I'll send it too.
