John N and Ruth Porter - 1954 to 1956
There are very few references to the Porter's though I have been able to put together a few items. Mr. Porter born in Missouri on September 25, 1891. He was an member of the local Elks lodge, No. 597. There is a newspaper article referring to Mrs. Porter's Lilac bushes and one about a police report on Ruth's car blocking a neighbor's garage door. Both articles cite she lived in our home at the time.
We have a reference of the Porter's selling the house to the next residents on or around July 17, 1956. In addition, I found an obituary for Mr. Porter. He died in Sacramento , CA on November 27, 1957. His funeral was here in Reno and he was buried in the Mountain View Cemetery
Mrs. Porter's son (John's stepson) Arley T McCrary, was married here in Reno on January 29. 1959 while he was attending the University of Nevada. He died in Oklahoma on January 27, 1955.
