SUBMITTER:  Scotty Roberge  roberge@pa.net

QUERY Since posting my first query in San Miguel county, I have gotten the death certificate of Missouri Price DEAN. She died in Las Vegas on 19 Aug 1938. Her sister, Virginia CARMACK died 6 Feb 1939.  On both death certificates, the informant was Mrs TARRENCE P GRAHAM of 910 North Eleventh Street. It is possible that Mrs. Graham is the daughter, Frankie, or Frances DEAN GRAHAM.  I have heard that there is a GRAHAM Drug store in Las Vegas. If anyone from Las Vegas reads this query, could someone call and ask if the two GRAHAM names are the same person?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
