Hi Nancy, My name is Gary Bell and I wanted to ask if you know, are there any pictures or records of the businesses people, that were in Leadville in 1880? My gggrand father, Joseph P. Emms is listed in the 1880 Leadville Census as being a baker and having a bakery there in Leadville. He had left his family in Missouri with his two sons, James C. Emms 20 and John F Emms 16, James was a miner and John helped at the bakery, his son in law, William H. Johns 32, who was a miner, and James twin brother, John B. Emms, 47, who was also a baker. I believe they all came back to Missouri before 1890, but I'm not sure when. I'm sure they all had a great adventure, both good and terrible, there in Leadville. Are there any ways of finding out about this rag tag group of my long lost relatives? Thanks for any ideas.
