A couple questions before I send a research request to the library. You sent article indexes about girls being hired for servers at a couple hotels, ie.. Metropolitian, Kings ect.. were you thinking Mary Corcoran (Cochran) may have been one of these girls?? If so what do you base this thought on? I can not find index reference to these articles on the South Dakota library network, do you have pg., Colume# ect.. or tell me what search term you used so I can give them to library researcher. Also what was the Keystone Register??
Looking for information on James W. Owens 1880 census in Deadwood working in Liquor store b. 1855 Indiana. Married 1881 Deadwood Mary Corcoran b 1860 NY, Child Helen Jane Owens b. 1882 Deadwood. Looking for any reference to Parents/Siblings of James and or Mary, Parents Irish Immig. Any information or suggestions word be Great!
