John Wright, B.G. Clow, A.H. Manning and E. Crane were her bondsmen.⁴

Tenn., age 45, widowed, with Albert G, 15, Laura E, 12, Chas. P., 8, and Nelley, 3. Three older children attending school. Listed in Dwelling 488, Family 493, which starts with B.H. Clow and family, and 8 laborers, and two cooks, and those are all marked Employee under "Relationship to Head".

• Newspaper Mention: The 4 March 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada reported that Ervine Crane and M.C. Lake have been appointed guardians of the person and estate of Mrs. Peleg Brown, and have been requested by Judge King to give a bond in the sum of $6,700.⁶
  
• Newspaper Mention: The 11 March 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada reported that In "Brevities", a column of a sentence about this and a sentence about that, "E. Crane took Mrs. Peleg Brown below last night. She was quite violent while being taken into the car."
  
• Newspaper Mention: The 18 March 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada reported that "This is the way the Sacramento Record-Union mixes it: An insane woman named Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, of Brown's Station, Nev., passed through yesterday, on her way to the asylum at Stockton. She was in charge of P. Brown and Irvin Crane, the former her husband and the latter her son-in-law. She was so violent that she had to be confined with straps, and in her ravings says that her mission on earth is to harmonize the Irish and Chinese." Since Peleg was already dead at this time, that is probably the reason for the comment "mixes it". Ervin Crane may well have taken her to CA.⁷
  
• Newspaper Mention: The 29 April 1882 edition of the Weekly Nevada State Journal, Reno, Washoe, Nevada reported that B. G. Clow, John Wright and A.M.

The commissioners should take immediate steps to see that these patients are delivered to Nevada. How they overlooked it in the first place is difficult for the Journal to understand.
  
  Page 3: Home Again: Mrs. Peleg Brown returned to her home last Saturday, having been discharged from Dr. Clark's Asylum at Stockton. So the Journal yesterday morning was wrong in still believing her an inmate. Glad to know her reason has resumed its sway.⁸
