Thanks Gail, That explains things for me and with most of the original players no longer with us, it was difficult getting the information. My brother and sister were young enough to not be concerned about those things when they were in Leadville. I'm going to make another trip there next spring to see what information I can find out from Patrick and Thomas Gilligan's Naturalization applications. Still attempting to find out where in Co. mayo they were from. Thanks again. Don Gail Meyer Kilgore wrote: > Anna Mae married Jack Laing and he was the albino.
