Mary Elaine's Story
I was born in Las Vegas. So were both my parents. They attended Immaculate Conception School too. My mothers parents were both born in Las Vegas in about the 1880s.

d for the railroad. We had an Aunt Clara Baasch, sister of my grandmother who had a small grocery store on Bridge Street.
We lived on the corner of 11th street and Columbia now a parking lot for the HU campus. We lived with our Grandfather in a big typical Las Vegas type two story Victorian style brick house that my fathers family had lived in since 1903.
My father was a machinist. His father had been a blacksmith. His family owned some of the first cars in Las Vegas and one of the first Auto repair shops. My two older brothers Gus and Paul became mechanics. My grandfather and his brother arrived in Las Vegas in the 1890s. Treatment for tuberculosis and the Colorado gold rush attracted them to the area.
