He was killed in a railroad accident. We found his name listed on the Bureau of Land Management. He had 120 acres in Sterling, dated 1914. Ivan was born in Michigan, the son of George W. DeHaven and Sadie Lent DeHaven. Perhaps there might be some legal information in court papers about this land as Ivan was not married. Also, is there a way to research which trains went into Sterling in 1911. Thank you. Marcia DeHaven

His correct middle name is not Ervin but Erwin according to his obituary. Charles Erwin Barton died 23 JUL 1994 in Sterling, Logan County, Colorado. Charles Erwin Barton Eulogy: From the stories I gathered, Charles Barton was the most even-tempered fellow you'd ever be likely to meet. Nothing seemed to faze him. Somewhere, way done deep, he had a peacefulness that let the hazards and heartbreaks of life just ease on by. Charles came to the Kelly area with his parents when he was only one or two years old. They had rented a boxcar in Pennsylvania, and brought everything they owned in it. When they arrived, the family lived in the boxcar on a siding while the root cellar was being dug. To say life was hard is an understatement by today's reckoning. Charles told of hitching up the wagon full of wheat early in the morning to make the long trip down to Hyde - and be back just in time for evening chores. Hard work was to be expected - and Charles was constantly in the field. With 14 quarters to care for, farming took every waking hour. Often, the summer fallow had to wait - but he took it in stride. He also observed the Sabbath, that one day each week set aside for God and family and enjoyment. Sunday was time for family picnic and fishing and relaxing. Charles also enjoyed traveling with the family, and their journeys carried them to all the states of the Union, save three. His boys remember one trip into the mountains. They had been sleeping in the car parked by the side of the road, and had just woke up and got out when the car started rolling. Unoccupied, it rolled down the side of the mountain and into the creek bed. And Charles took it in stride. In the fall, he enjoyed hunting - elk and deer in the mountains, antelope closer to home. These were special time with his sons. And he would do anything for them. One time, the boys were driving back home after taking lunch out to Charles in the field, and they rolled the pickup on the country road. No one was hurt, though everything in the cab wound up someplace else. And Charles didn't get upset. Didn't complain. In fact, he took the rap for the boys, telling the insurance company that it was his fault. Through it all, he never complained. Through droughts that just leave a person hopeless, and through a flood that floated rental houses off their foundations, tethered only by their power lines. Charles was very active in the Odd Fellows, and always helped with the booth at the Fair. In the mid-60's, he was Colorado Grand Master and traveled the state attending to the office. And in retirement, Charles and Florence wintered in south Texas - enjoying dances and card games and fishing. Fishing was a passion. Usually, he was pretty cautious - but on one fishing trip to Lake McCanaughy - Charles, Jerry, and a friend from the lodge arrived just as a fierce storm was blowing in. Over the objections of the staff there - who were trying to get boats OFF the water, they put in anyway. And rocking in four foot swells, they started pulling big walley6e out of the lake as quickly as they could throw in their lines. In an hour, they caught their limit - just in time to get off the water before the storm hit in earnest. The next two days were just as fruitful. And when they came home with their big catch, they discovered that the crops had been completely hailed out. Charles took it in stride. It had been great fishing. And the hail would have come anyway. He was never ruffled. Well, almost never. There WAS the time he backed the new pickup into the farm truck - and came forth with a word or two no one thought he knew. The instance was so rare, the family razzed him about it ever since. But, in fact, he chose a life of forthright clean living - no use for drink or smoke, and always a civil tongue. After heart surgery, he recovered quickly because of what the doctor called "healthy mindedness." His years with Lois were a delight for both of them. Charles was always willing to help - clear the table, wash the dishes, whatever needed doing. And he enjoyed working in the garden, working the soil, in the summer. He went out to Jerry's and drove the big, four-wheel-drive tractor, and couldn't believe a tractor would ever be so large. It was a real appreciation for how different farming had become since the all-day wagon trips to Hyde. The say anyone can be sad or disappointed, but misery takes real work. Charles never wasted time working at being miserable. There was so much more of life to be lived. And as we remember Charles, God seems to be saying, "Calm down. Getting upset never solves the problem. Work hard at the task you love, and work hard for the people you love. Setbacks are just setbacks, unless you make them worse by brooding on them." Life is to be lived in Joy - the joy of trusting God. And now, in Christ, Charles' trust is fulfilled.

ALSO AN ANSELMO CALZADA AND LAWRENCE RAY CHAPPELL CENSUS INFORMATION WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP 1940 TO 1970

I am trying to get in contact with anyone who is related to or knows of family members of Jacob Sinner. Jacob Sinner was born in Konstantinovka, Russia in 1874 to Heinrich and Anna Sinner. Jacob came to America in 1907 and settled in Sterling, Colorado. He was married to Olinda Englemann who died in during childbirth in 1918 in Sterling. Jacob then married my great grandmother Eva Katherine Hoffner in Eaton, Colorado in 1919 at the German Congregational Church. They were subsequently divorced that same year and my grandfather David Dwayne Sinner was born in November 1919 in Pierce, Colorado. My great grandmother's last name and my grandfather David's last name show up on the 1920 Weld County census as Sinner. Eva eventually changed my grandfather's last name to Hoffner after Eva's first husband, who she was married to in Oberdorf, Russia. Jacob Sinner went back to Sterling and married an Eva Herzog in 1920 and had a child in 1921. Jacob died in Sterling in 1953. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
