Gail, Thank you very much for this information. Would you know if funeral home records of the time (1907) are available today in Leadville?

Hello: I am wondering if anyone has access to Leadville city directories for the period 1905 to 1908? I hope to find record of my RAPAKKO ancestors who appear to have lived there during that time. (The name is sometimes spelled RAPACKO). Pekka (Petter) Anton is his given name, also known as Anton or Antoni. He was a miner. His wife was Aino (Aina, Aini) Katarina MAIJANEN. They may have married in Leadville, so she may have lived there as a single lady before they married, so I am interested in the surname MAIJANEN as well. They had a baby who died soon after birth (__?___RAPAKKO). I believe that he could be buried in Leadville. My grandmother, Emma Hyvärinen, was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in 1907, so it's possible that this baby is buried in the same cemetery (1905-1906; possibly 1907 but likely earlier). I would appreciate any help or information. Thank you. Carole Johnson
