Hi Gail & Carol, When I was at the county court house in Leadville. They have some of the old funeral home records there. I was able to look at the funeral cards for one of the homes. I was able to get some good information from the cards. I had to ask for them.

Kathy Egan: can't help you with John Egan or Katie Keefe, but my great grandmother was Hannah Leahy who married Patrick Edward Doyle and lived in Leadville in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Who are your Leahys?
