They cover the period 1859-1900 and one is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Marriages, Anniversaries, Divorces, Births and Birthdays / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co/July 1991" And the other is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Deaths and the Insane / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co / July 1991" I trust her extracts but beware of my typing.

J.C. Eastman 8 Feb 1891 in Boulder. [A guess would be that the first one is a sister to William O. and the second one is the infant dau of William O. and Selina - she had 2 and I found one obit. Also it appears she was the step daughter of Henrietta.] Obit for Henry Minehold, ex-husband of Ella Morgridge. Says they separated soon after marriage. She in Boulder and going by maiden name. 1888. Also Marc Hathaway ("of Denver") married a Mary Butler in Denver on 13 Dec 1894. Also divorcies - Mary F. filed for divorce from Marc Hathaway on grounds of desertion in Jan 1900. I'm really surprised I didn't find more mention of the Ferry family. Wasn't quite sure what you wanted - just addresses or this sort of info. Hope it helps. David ps There 3 societies in Boulder Co. and they have things pretty well covered. Never hurts to visit once in a while - http://www.rootsweb.com/~collgs/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~bgs/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~coboulde/ I scanned them and didn't see a single Ferry burial. Could have been in Denver (Arapahoe Co till c.1903 then Denver Co) or perhaps they were somewhere else between England and Boulder Co and Grandma was sent there. Note that Susannna was apparently 42 when she had Henrietta ; she probably had other children before her.
