My wife and I are planning a trip to Colorado this summer. I want to show her the places I used to visit when I was a boy, and possibly visit my grandparents' home in Olathe, if it's still standing. Do you have any information on my maternal grandfather, Robert Jones Phebus, who used to work in the Olathe Post Office? I think he was a postmaster; his second wife, Lucy Phebus, also worked at the post office. His first wife was Esther Hughes, if I remember correctly, but she died shortly after childbirth in 1922, possibly in Los Angeles. He came (back?) to Colorado after he remarried, I believe in the late '20s. The Phebuses moved from Olathe to Hemet, California in the early '60s, where my grandfather died in 1963. I'm also trying to locate any records that may exist about his father (who I believe was also named Robert Phebus). I remember that he was said to have lived in Rifle, Craig and Meeker, and may possibly have been born in one of those towns. I am just beginning to allow myself the luxury and excitement (and hours of frustration, I am sure) of searching for this family background, which disappeared with the sudden death of our mother about 10 years ago, and would appreciate any tips or guidance you might provide.
