Hi! I have been puzzling over this problem for quite a while. Maybe someone on the list can turn something up for me that I hadn't thought of. I am searching for information on Edith Maria (Latham) Holbrook Sobernheimer. Edith was born in Connecticut in 1880. She lost her father when she was eight (or younger), and her mother died when she was fourteen. She was adopted and cared for by her uncle, Henry Holbrook, after her mother's death (thus the Holbrook in her name). She lived in Pueblo for a time, and then was back East for a good education, etc. She married to Dr. Harry B. Sobernheimer in 1910, and they moved out to Colorado Springs shortly after their marriage. I can find listings of them in a number of the Colorado Springs city directories at various addresses. At some point, around 1916, I believe that they separated, and Edith appears in the 1917 Colorado Springs city directory alone. Harry was in Meeker, Colorado, and he was a part of the WWI effort in some capacity. I believe that Edith lived in the Springs until near the end of 1919, when she moved to Manitou Springs. She is listed as living on "Manitou Road" in the 1920 census, taken January 3 - 5, 1920. The 1921 Colorado Springs/Manitou city directory lists Edith as living on Rosemary Lane at the corner of Manitou Avenue. She is unfortunately not listed in the 1922 city directory. Edith died about April 24, 1922. The Colorado Springs Gazette has the following mention of her death: Colorado Springs Gazette, April 25, 1922 The body of Mrs. Edith H. Soberheimer, 54, who died at a local hospital Sunday night, was taken to Pueblo last night for burial. I could find no other obituary for her in the Springs' newspapers, which seems odd given her charitable nature. Additionally, I found the following article: Fort Collins Courier - August 26, 1922 - Mrs. Santa Claus' Will Creates Home (For) Little Tubercular Children - Colorado Springs, Aug. 25. - Thru the will of the late Mrs. Edith Sobernheimer, tuberculosis children in the Pikes Peak region are to have a sanatorium of their own. The will, just admitted for probate, provides that Mrs. Sobernheimer's beautiful stone mansion near Manitou, valued at $70,000 be turned over to a board of trustees and operated as a home for children suffering from the white plague. The trustees named include Miles Saunders of Pueblo; Dr. Beverly Tucker of Colorado Springs; S. J. Giles, Colorado Springs; J. Frank Campbell, Manitou; C. O. Chipman, Pueblo and G. E. Lewis, La Junta. Mrs. Sobernheimer became known in the Pikes Peak region as "Mrs. Santa Claus" for many kind acts at Christmas when no poor child was allowed to go without a Christmas gift. For years she was a partial invalid. Here's what I would like to know. Can anyone tell me where this address is/was: Corner of Rosemary Lane and Manitou Avenue? Also, does anyone know anything about this apparently lovely stone mansion in Manitou that was donated for children with TB? I wonder if it's still there and what its location is. I wonder if it was ever used for children with TB. I'm hoping for someone on the list to be very familiar with Manitou and can answer these questions. Thanks ever so much! - Jean Griesan
