I have copies of 3 books of newspaper extracts that Mary McRoberts did. One is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Marriages, Anniversaries, Divorces, Births and Birthdays / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co/July 1991" Another is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Deaths and the Insane / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co / July 1991" And : "Genealogical Abstracts from the Boulder Daily Camera / 1891-1900 / Boulder, Colorado / Mary McRoberts The very FIRST entry in the Marriages book is : 1. "King, Dr. Dean W. m. 24 Dec 1860 Vevy Anna Smith in the Rocky Mountains by Hon. R. Wilkinson. (RMNW 28 Dec 1860:3)" [RMNW=Rocky Mountain News Weekly ; WOW - this is so early they didn't have town names, it's just "Rocky Mountains" ! I'm not sure Boulder County had been named yet !] 2. Marriages - "King, Dean W. , originally of Boulder but now of Denver, m 4 Feb 1891 Josie Barker of Boulder, at home of Mrs. Hannah Barker in Boulder. Will live Salt Lake City. (BN 5 Feb 1891:4; HW 4 Feb 1891:5)" [BN=Boulder News ; HW=Boulder County Herald Weekly] 3. Marriages - "King, George H. , formerly of Boulder, m 12 Feb 1891 Louise Hutchinson in Denver. (BN 19 Feb 1891:4 ; HW 18 Feb 1891:5)" 4. Divorces - "King, Dean W. filed suit for divorce in Arapahoe County Court from Josephine (Barker) King and she filed cross complaint. Both formerly of Boulder. Josie filed suit in Denver May 1896 on account of desertion. He accused her of infidelity and of hitting him with a Bible and a pound of butter. She denies it all. At the time of their marriage, she possessed money and property worth $20,000.00 She left the management of it to her husband who lost it all. She asks for custody of the child. Divorce granted Josephine 30 June 1897 on grounds of desertion and non-support [sic]. (BN 1 July 1897:4 ; HW 13 May 1896:1 ; HW 30 June 1897:1)" [Up until about 1903 Denver was part of Arapahoe County, after which it was Denver County] 5.There are 4 mentions of a "Coroner King" ; don't know if it is him or not - 1886, 1887, 1888 & 1890. 6.There are 2 mentions of a "Dr. King" - 1884 & 1887. 7.Death - "Smith, E.B. is dying in Golden, Co. His son-in-law Dr. D.W. King received a dispatch yesterday saying he was dying. Over age 90. Bro of the late N.K. Smith of Boulder. (HW 18 Sept 1895:5) He d last week Golden, Co. Age 88. (BN 26 Sept 1895:4)" Also the Boulder County GenWeb site ( http://hollyhockfarms.com/coboulder/main.htm ) has an online index to the Green Mountain Cemetery and the Lafayette & Louisville Genealogical Society site ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~collgs/ ) has an index of Boulder County burials. LLGS has : "King, Dean W. 1836-1909 GMT King, Veryanse 1839-1914 GMT" Boulder GenWeb has : "King, Dean W. October 1, 1907 King, Veryann November 22, 1914" At Ancestry.com for the 1920 Federal census (just the indexes, didn't look at the scanned images) : There is a Dean King born Colorado in 1870 living in San Francisco. And a George H. King born Colorado in 1864 living in Denver. And a Dana W. King born in Colorado in 1873 living in Tacoma, Washington. [It is my experience that these are very common migration patterns for Boulder County families] Also the Boulder County Clerks Office has an online index to their records ( http://icris.co.boulder.co.us/documentSearch.jsp ) ; but when I keyed in "King" for 1860 to 1920 it brought up 960 records. I didn't continue <G> It's a start, David
