Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman posted the census information to the mail list. She is the census rep for the State of Colorado on the USGenWeb. Maggie can be reached at: [email protected] I am sure she can use any volunteers that are available. Gail

We just got back from Leadville. We visited museums this time for the purpose of finding more info on "Texas Jack" Omohundro. Finally found it in the last display window of the Heritage Museum, well done. The lady in the haberdashery (candy) store's dad knew Texas Jack. Thanks for telling us about the Omohundro in Buena Vista. It was my husband's long-lost aunt! She, her husband Arthur, his brother Sidney, all Omohundros, lived in Leadville in the 50's & 60's. Did anyone out there know them? Arthur sold insurance, Sidney drove an ore truck. Linda Omohundro Columbus, OH
