Mrs. Emma Linscott, one of the valley's pioneer woman passed away in a 
hospital in Smith Valley, NV, Monday.  She had been bedridden for a 
year or more.

in the early days of its settlement, and made their home on a ranch 
location east of town.  There their children grew to maturity, and 
there her husband passed on.  After selling the property some years 
ago Mrs. Linscott went to Los Angeles, and later to Smith Valley.

She is survived by three sons, Oliver A., of Bishop, George Lester, of 
Smith's, R. Marshall, of Oakland; and one daughter Mrs. Zelma 
Schnitzler, of Wilmington.
