Identifier

OH-01352

Abstract

Oral history interview with Elva Mercardo, Virgie Wilburn, and Dr. Alonzo Anderson conducted by Lowell Townley in 1974 for the Ralph Roske Oral History Project on Early Las Vegas. In this interview, the three interviewees recall the life of Margie Grubb. Elva Mercardo is Grubb's niece; Virgie Wilburn is a former employee and friend; and Dr. Anderson is a veterinarian and friend. Mercardo describes how Grubb managed bars in Las Vegas, Nevada, her personality, and Grubb's relationship with other people including Mercardo's father and Grubb's business partners. Wilburn recalls stories from Grubb's life including Grubb's affinity for the desert and bootlegging. Wilburn also talks about a time where Grubb's club and house caught on fire. Dr. Anderson discusses Grubb working in the mining industry, moving to Oregon for a short time, and managing a saloon.
