Death of L. W. Lee- It will grieve the friends and acquaintances of L. W. Lee to
learn that he died at 8:10 last night.  Although his death has been expected
ever since the apoplectic stroke the announcement is none the less a cause of
deep regret to all who knew the man.  He was one of Reno’s first settlers, and
by his industry and energy established and maintained a lucrative business.  He
was one of the hardest workers of all the men who ever engaged in business in
the town, and by his enterprise, application and frugality made himself one of
the solid men of Reno.  In his death Reno loses a substantial citizen, and his
family an indulgent husband and father.  The proper tributes of respect to his
memory should be evidence by all.  The funeral will probably take place
to-morrow.  Mr. Lee was born in Genessee county, New York, Jan. 1, 1834.  When
young he removed to Elkhorn, Walworth county, Wisconsin.  In 1860 he crossed the
plains and located at Gold Hill, from thence to Long Valley, and from Long
Valley to Reno.
