Thank you both again. That is very useful information.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I found Percy's obit, and he was survived by son John K. Whitehead of Washoe Valley and daughter Mrs. A.W. Henderson of Carson City.

Good find, RJ.   :)

Thank you, Shellyesq.

Where are you able to access these details of deaths in Nevada?
