The name of the Gerlach Land and Livestock Company is also reported as the "Gerlach Land and Cattle Company."

In 1884, Louis Dean, Louis Gerlach and Henry Flak bought the Ward Brother's Cattle Outfit in 1884.[1] The purchase included water rights from Pyramid Lake to the Oregon border.

On May 27, 1892, the "Gerlach Live Stock Co." was incorporated in Stockton.[2]

Thornton states that after the death of Louis Gerlach, "the Gerlach Land and Livestock was broken up and sold to a man by the name of Ed Waltz." See Gerlach and Waltz Ranch.
