When Grant McCULLY died in Spokane, Washington, in 1919, his daughter Lila C. McCULLY was described as a ward of the court in Spokane, but "resident of Iliff, Colorado." She was approximately 12 years old at the time. I am 99.9% certain that there were no McCULLY relatives in Colorado at that time, so I am assuming she was with her mother or mother's family. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to learn her mother's maiden name. Because northeastern Colorado was so sparsely populated at that time, it's possible that someone might know of a family connection there. I'd be pleased to hear from anyone with any ideas. Thanks.
