I am trying to connect my great grandmother to the other Sullivan and Harrington families in Leadville from the 1880s onward. Mary (Sullivan) and John Sullivan were married in MA.   According to sources Mary's relatives in Leadville offered John a job at an ice house they owned/ran but on their arrival no job was to be had. This resulted in  family feud that lasted as long as they lived and perhaps beyond. Due to this I do not have her/their relatives and am quite frustrated.   I have come to the sad realization that I likely will have to research all the Sullivans I can find and since they were quite interrelated with the Harringtons research them as well.   Anyone with these families I would be interested in connecting with you. If your families are from the Beara penninsula in county Cork, Ireland so much the better.   Thanks,   ~~C Sullivan    

Carol, I owe you an email... will get with you hopefully yet today.

Willie another place to add your old photos would be located at http://trailstothepast.org/photos/ The more visibility that they get, the more you might be able to identify some of the pictures.

Hi all, While talking about register of the Evergreen Churchyard at Leadville I will recommend the Leadville Library's online documents that you can download from their homepage http://www.lakecountypubliclibrary.org/Cemetery%20Records.htm Except from their nice and very competent staff, the Leadville Library also has quit a lot of information about old Leadville and is worth many visits. If anyone is looking for or have information of Swedes who lived at Leadville during the 1890's to 1920's - I have in my in my "ancestor project" focused and built up quit a lot of information about Swedes who lived in Leadville those years, their social life together with old photos of many of them. Please feel free to contact me in those matters.

Gail, I wish there was some way to restore the cemetery. I would love to help but I don't live in Colorado.   As you have seen, chalking can do damage to a stone and it isn't recommended.

Thanks, Sheree', Would the County Courthouse microfiche records be available to order from my local LDS Family History Center, by any chance? Also, would they be apt to contain different information than the burial record from the public library (which I have)? Would I communicate with the courthouse by email or regular mail?

Carole, I have gone to the County Court house in Leadville and they have some burial cards on microfiche. You might try there and see if the grave is listed. I looked up card for 3 of my relatives...2 had the graves listed and one did not. BTW, the people at the County Court house are really friendly & helpful. Copies are $1 but worth it for the amount of records they have. Also, if anyone is looking for immigration & naturalization records, they are kept in another part of the building than the records I mentioned above. In fact, they are in boxes behind a counter on the 2nd floor. Good luck!

Remember me? - from Oscar Laurila's second wife's side. Tilda was my grandmother's sister. We were in touch a lot a few years ago sharing our information. Your letter about the cemetery now reminded me of calls I received from the cemetery from my daughter and daughter-in-law a few years ago!

Well, they found, from records at the library, that someone else, an unrelated male, was buried in that grave a few years before my grandmother's burial, so now we don't know for sure which record is right, or if two people from different families are buried there!

The Trimbles divorced in 1905; he moved to Washington State; Blanche moved to California. The daughter was married at least 3 times - to a William Powell (ended in divorce in 1902); to a Wilkie Edwards (also a divorce in 1907); another marriage to someone named Talbot. Beulah died in Kansas City from a problem pregnancy in 1917 with no heirs. She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Colorado Springs. Trimble remarried in Washington State. His second wife had a son but I cannot find any information on the family after Trimble died in 1929 other than info on the Trimble Trust.

There are 2 (Two) Colbys buried in Evergreen Cemetery at Leadville. These dates are from their headstones. George Colby 12 Mar 1819 - 13 Feb 1905 Wallace Colby 20 Apr 1866 - 27 Jun 1904 Would like to know where these gentlemen are from and parents if possible. Where does one go to get death records, Leadville or Lake County offices? Ronald Colby ronaldcolby@gmail.com Kearns, Utah 801-680-1317 "I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart."

Birth certificates can be gotten from the state or from the office of Neil Reynolds, Attorney at Law, in Leadville. Am I right in guessing that Wallace maybe the son of George? George is the father and born in Vermont. In 1870 they were living in Black Brook, Clinton,. NY. Wallace was born in 1856 in New York and has a twin brother, Walter. George's wife Ellen was born in Ireland. Wallace married and his wife's name was Mary Ann.
