What Was

We have pictures, we have a name, what was it, and where was it?

A Mr. Louis Alphonso Beckstead, born March 6, 1875, is listed in the 1910 the Federal census, and shows him living in Rawhide. Churchill County World War I draft registrations shows his name as well, so he must have moved to the area between 1910 and 1917, when the Selective Service Act was passed. A 1930 U.S. census lists Louis A. Beckstead and his wife Caroline living in the New River District near Fallon, owning property that was not a farm and worth $3,000. Both are listed as having no occupation. This is the only Beckstead linked with Churchill County that I can find- are we talking about the same fella?

Many times, a stattion would change hands when it changed ownership, so this could be a well-known (or, at least, better known) station with a different name.
