Gail, My Great grandparents, James and Mary Olds bought the house at 509 E.9th street sometime in the early 1900's and probably lived there till my Great Grandmother passed away in 1943. She said it was a three-room house, and they added 3 more rooms and a parlor. In the narrative you have by Eldred Tresize, he mentions my Grandmother and also my Great Grandmother. My Grandmother, Hazel, was born on July 20, 1893 in Leadville. She attended the 9th Street school and after graduation from High School in 1912. Hazel and her friend, Eva McDonald went to Greeley Teachers College. It's my understanding that in those days after 2 years of college they could become teachers. My Grandmother went to Sterling to teach in 1914. Sue Reid
Boy for some reason Sue, the name of Sid Olds is ringing in my head. Does that mean anything to you? Gail
