| Comments: | THANK YOU PATSY for your two separate comments in this guest book!
This is what I hope for when I check my email and the guest book. I mentioned on the home page, “Should the critical reader find errors and omissions, it is hoped he will remember the fallibility of man. Constructive criticism is appreciated!
Please Email me if any of my links are broken, there are typo's, historical inaccuracies, or if there is some way I can make the site easier for researchers to navigate. Your input is appreciated! It is very difficult to edit myself!” Once again, THANK YOU! I had the correct date for the establishment of the Baker Post Office - Feb. 18, 1895 rather than just Feb. 1895. This is on the page "Places where Post Offices were located" under "Baker." If you click the "Baker" link, it also states the correct date there. A line was skipped when transcribing the names of the postmasters from the microfilm copies. Sorry about that! Would anyone like to double-check ALL my work? I need all the help I can get! Building a web site is not easy and it certainly is not cheap! You are correct that Virginia Eldridge replaced Vana Baker, but according to the Postmaster Tracking System, Mrs. Baker served as Officer-in-Charge beginning 10/26/1973 and was appointed Postmaster 12/08/1973. As I state on the Postmaster page, I list the person who replaced the postmaster from the date they are first mentioned.

| Comments: | Thank you Cookie! The site is a labor of love. I was not fortunate enough to be born here, but I've been here since 1974 and I love it. My husband is the lucky one. He was born here! We enjoy tramping around in White Pine looking for the old abandonded mining camps and stage stations so decided to share our research and findings with others. |

| Comments: | My greatgrandpa was Ervin Lester Hendrix. They owned the Sunnyside and Hot Creek Ranches south of Lund in the 1940' & 50's. I am looking for good resources to research these ranches if you know of any. I am interested in acreage and sale price to the Nevada Fish and Game in 1959. I am also interested in any other facts about the ranches. Unfortunately my family were poor historians in those days and there isn't much record of these ranches that I can find. Thank You. I enjoyed your site very much. |

| Comments: | I've never been to Ely...my connection is my 46 Chevrolet Suburban that used to be owned by the city of Ely. I've had it since the late 80s. Every time I drive her I reflect back on a history that I know very little of..., I treat her with love and respect. I know that she served your town well...I've been told that she was an ambulance for 4 years...dog catcher used it for 10 or 12 years and then the city engineers used it...the city sold it in 1986. Someday, I'll visit Ely to see first hand the community my Suburban served. Regards Carl Germain |

| Comments: | Ely is a neat place except for when they would take those bruiser high school kids out of the mines (or so we thought) and they would whomp us (Elko)in basketball and football. But for some consolation we could almost always beat Winnemucca. Those were the only three "A" schools in the state at the time; Reno I think was "AA" and we didn't have a chance against them; White Pine fared a little better. My web site (above) is on the Ruby Mountains and East Humboldts north of you. This summer I will be coming down your way to try to get some good photos of wild horses; they don't seem to exist in the Rubies and Humboldts. You have a very good web site; I'm always searching for Nevada, especially northern Nevada, sites. I was recently contacted by an individual who is moving to the Ely area (probably there now) who is employed by the BLM and will be coordinating with him White Pine County photos that he will obtain to include in an additional web page. |

I have been keeping in contact with some of you, but if more of you remember the Kingery girls write to me please. I was in band from 5th grade all the way to High School, I am not sure who the High school band teacher was in 69-72, is there anyone who would know? Also does anyone remember Danny Capitan? I would like to get a hold of him. He turned out to be a good friend. Take care all of you, and be thankful for the small town life you have. Big city life is too cold and harsh sometimes.

After debating with myself for a couple of weeks, I have just taken a mans comments on why we should
not have war in Iraq off this guest book. Yes, he has the right to express his opinions. A short commentary would probably have remained whether I agreed or not. I have the right to remove them if they are taking up too much of the space I am paying for. Ain't America great! If you are interested in his opinions type in the key words "War in Iraq" and see if his web site comes up on a search engine. Now if the same amount of space would have been used for White Pine history or genealogy, it would have stayed! I love to hear comments on where you are from and your ties to White Pine County. Memories of White Pine are fun or queries about White Pine are welcomed. That is the purpose of this web site. |

| Comments: | Loved this website. I lived in East Ely from 1968 to 1982. Graduated class of '81 WPHS I visited this site for some Nevada History that I am sharing with my Boy Scout troop in Las Vegas. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Hamilton (my favorite ghost town) Thank you. |

| Comments: | I wanted to let you all know what a wonderful job you have done in putting this website together. There are not enough pages to share all of my memories of White Pine County but I will say I have lived everywhere there was to live...Number 9 Hill, Up the Canyon, By the old Ruth Jail, in Reipe Town, Ely, Ruth Townsite, Preston and Lund. I attended every school in every town including the two room school house in Preston.........But the guy who has all of the same memories is Martin James Sorensen. Ask him what it's like to run wild in the hills of White Pine County. He has a million memories and stories. Thanks for your hard work and letting me ramble a bit. |

| Comments: | I lived in McGill from 1942 until 1960 having graduated from WPHS with my twin brother, Ron. My parents, Don and Marge Tate lived there all of their lives as did my grandfather and grandmother, George and Blanche Tate. My grandparents talked about living in the tar shacks in the townsite area of town. We lived at 49 4th Street and had many friends over all those years. My grandfather, father and my brother and I all worked at KCC. Grandpa Tate and my father both retired from there. Thanks for keeping track and would enjoy hearing from someone who may have known any of our family. Don Tate |

| Comments: | I found both of my great-grandfathers listed as postmasters, Peter H. Cannon and James Reilly. My grandmother, Emma Reilly was a deputy sheriff in Ely at one time. My grandfather's sister, Una Reilly married Denver Dickerson who became the governor of Nevada. I have a rich White Pine history of which I am very proud. My father, James Reilly, died in 1966 when I was only 11 years old. When I visited Ely for the first time several years ago I was thrilled to see a picture of my dad hanging in the barbershop on the main street. It was from the 1930's! Sincerely, Linda Reilly Robinson |
