Footnote 1
Most of the history of the ranch is from a twenty-one-page typescript biography of William Stock by John E. Grotsch that the family dates to about 1955. Grotsch is Stock's grandson and Leslie Stewart's cousin. Additional information has been taken from personal communications and interviews with Leslie and Marie Stewart and the following published works: Myron Angel (ed.), History of Nevada with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers (Oakland, California: Thompson and West, 1881); Range Mann, "Ranching in Paradise," Pacific Stockman VIII, 10 (October 1942): 8-10; and Adell "Casey" Jones, "An April Visit to Paradise Valley," Nevada Highways and Parks XVI (1956), 2: 3-13. Additional genealogical data was supplied by Edith Schwartz Aldous, a granddaughter of William Stock's sister Louise and compiled by Cindy Styx; by Margaret Purser, who provided copies of census data, Kemler family letters, and other information; and by Gene Prince, who recorded the inscription of every headstone in the Paradise Valley cemetery. My father, Wolfgang Fleischhauer, clarified points relating to German geography and language. Copies of these source materials are part of the Paradise Valley Folklife Collection at the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress.
