List of Notable Las Vegans (1900-1950)

Projected list of pages to create of notable figures in Nevada history: Most particularly Las Vegas Valley but other Nevada's also included: an attempt to add historical people who do not currently have their own page, the scope of this list is primarily form 1900-1950, though there are many outside that date range this particular project will primarily focus on the first half of the 20th century and primarily in the Las Vegas area (though not Entirely). Doing the considerable research required for 19th century Nevada is way beyond the desires of this author at the present. Anything after 1950 covers much of the Gaming personalities and entertainers associated with Nevada & especially Reno/Las Vegas. The current contingent of Wiki editors has and is doing a splendid job in this area and needs no extra from me other than editing and minor corrections..

The list below is just that, a list of planned pages and will be edited accordingly throughout the course of it's production. if anyone else is reading this please feel free to add or Talk about any of the listings

Criteria for the list is simple. the person must have been a notable person in the state of Nevada for any reason sometime between the years 1900-1950. They wouldn't have to been born during those years nor even born in Nevada, but they certainly must have had to have left a mark of notoriety for some reason during the time period suggested.

If anyone has a page in works or I have overlooked an existing page for any one on the list please advise. As I create the list I will also add a page in creation and work those pages accordingly. As the pages are created and published they will be marked accordingly.
