I certainly would be happy to share them with the library. I have one copy from the Colorado State Archives and one from the Wyoming State Archives. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure I'm tracking the right Thomas O'brien. As you probably found out...there were a lot of O'briens (and Tom O'briens) in the mining districts back in the late 1800's. The only reason I think the Thomas O'brien I'm looking for is the same one you mentioned in your post is because the Canon City pentitentary listed the occupation of the one I'm tracking as a "teamster"...same as the 1880 census you refer to. As a side note, I've possibly narrowed Thomas O'brien's death to 1903 in Salida, CO (drug overdose)...or possibly alive in 1930 living in Phoenix, AZ. I take it since your post in 1999 you haven't been able to nail down your Thomas O'brien's whereabouts either? PS I've attached a scan of his picture from the Colorado State Archives Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
