Ross-Burke Funeral Records
Reno, Nevada, 1904-1919
Died at the county hospital.
John T Blake was born to James Blake and Margaret Gannon Blake in Boston. John had sisters; Maria, Sarah, Margaret, and brother; James.
Sometimes, some families get their share of grief or tragedy, but the kids in this family got their share of
grief. When their mother died 15 Jan 1864, their ages ranged from 11 down to 2 years old. During the 1870 Boston census, the father, James, and the kids, James, Margaret, and Sarah lived in what was called the “Alms House” on Deer Island. John’s name couldn’t be found, so he must have been living on the streets.
Although the kids experienced the passing of their mother, which made them keenly aware of death and the permanency associated with it, their father passed away at the age of 64, 22 Nov 1881, in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, John’s sisters, Maria on 21 Jul 1881, married Edward Rollins in Boston. Sarah G, on 1886, married a guy named John Donovan in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Margaret on 9 Mar 1882, married a guy named Michael Kennedy.
John, on 3 Mar 1883, married Hannah Ellen Hanlon, a Massachusetts gal, and they had a son, Edward E, born 6 Jun 1884, and Edward married Anna C Donaldson of Leavenworth, Washington. John’s daughter, Helen E Blake, born 26 Jan 1886, in Boston, Massachusetts. Miss Helen married Mr. Robert B Lucas of Canada, and she and her husband made their home in Northern California, as did Edward.
Some young men try family life, but in-spite of the their inner drive of wanderlust, not all can acquiesce to being tied down (his wife, Hannah, died with last name McDonough). By 1900, according to the family story passed down, John feigned his own death and scurried out of Massachusetts, traveled west, and took-up mining at Fort Steele, Carbon County, Wyoming. In 1910, John was prospecting in the mountains around Thermopolis, Wyoming. Through his persistence, he, along with a couple partners, developed and sold a series of mining claims located at Tule Canyon, in Nevada. After his successful sale, John made his home in Tonopah and continued his passion for prospecting until his
death at the same age as his father, 64.
