Barlow and his family. He and his oldest son, which I didn't list are buried somewhere in Delta, CO. James P. Barlows name is listed in the 1885 census. The last eight names are his children all born in Delta. They moved to California after his death. I understand that he died on his Ranch with pneumonia, there in Delta. He is my great grandfather and as growing up heard a lot of stories of him but don't know nothing beyond him. Thank You Donna Peternell

My grandfather was a stationary engineer in Paonia in 1913. Came from PA. Name Richard Berger Zeigler. Does anyone know how I can find information on him? No help from the Census. Was there a city directory? Would there be companies or large mines that would come to mind around that time? Last question, did stationary engineers need to be registered with the county or the state? Thanks in advance. MB

Posted on: USGenWeb Delta County Co. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Co/Delta?read=105 Surname: Jardon, White, Jones ------------------------- Hi: My oldest brother was born about 1912 in Delta County. I know my parents lived close to Hotchkiss at that time--possibly on Redlands Mesa. I recently received a copy of his birth certificate that showed the place of his birth as Welcome, CO. I would like any information available about this town/community. I have been unable to locate it on any Colorado map. Thanks, Trudy Swain

I am a new subscriber to the Delta list. I am researching the name Elizabeth/Eliza Hedrick who is found on the 1900 Census. She was living in Hotchkiss at the time and was 70 years old. She is listed with her mother in law "Rose Jefferson J. M" I'm not sure why her name isn't Henrick like her daughter-in-law, but perhaps she had remarried. Have any cemeteries in Delta County been inventoried, especially around Hotchkiss? Are there any Hedricks still living in Hotchkiss? I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks in advance.
