Advice for categorization of Reed-8193

Question

I have the [[Category: United States, Deputy Sheriffs]] but I didn't see one for Nevada, or White Pine County. Can we get a category on a more granular level?

Also, would Stanley qualify for a Wild West tag since he was a resident of Nevada pre-1925?

Answer 1

I see Stanley is a distant cousin. The parameters of Wild Wild West are meant to be inclusive rather than exclusive. Geographically and timewise he meets the parameters if another of the Westward Ho or law enforcement categories is not more appropriate for him. I’m not certain how detailed law enforcement categories are meant to be so have added the tag United States so that project can offer advice on that.

Looks like we are 9th cousins 1x removed! Nice to meet you Cousin T.

Thanks for tagging other project in - I'm still very new to categorization and projects so I didn't want to assume he met any narrow criteria.

If you like folks with a spice of Old West spirit, keep an eye on Stanley's profile.  He went from being charged with horse thievery to Deputy Sheriff. I'm having a lot of fun pulling research on him.

Very little beats a horse story. In his declining years, my great grandfather had his horse stolen a second time. The newspaper concluded the report with the suggestion that he sleep with his horse under his pillow so as to not lose it a third time.
