Researching the family of Marilla Adeline Curry Turner Koontz, b abt 1836 Gallia Co, OH, d 1915 Pueblo, CO.

Koontz b abt 1870 Holt Co, MO, md Jessie ?, d 1952 Pueblo, CO. Marilla ran a boarding house in Pueblo after she was widowed the second time. Her sons owned Koontz Oil in Pueblo. There were evidently quite a lot of persons in Pueblo who migrated from Gallia Co, OH, many for their "health". I would be happy to exchange info with anyone researching any of these families.

I thought I'd introduce myself since I recently decided to establish this list. My name is Edward A. Black, Sr. and I established this list for those who desire to contact others who have like desires in locating family members, taking part in discussions or doing other genealogical rersearch in Pueblo County, Colorado. My interest in Pueblo Co., CO comes because my wife had kin that lived in the county as well as myself having the former wife of an uncle of mine living in a neighboring county. I currently live in Lancaster, California and I have been married 27-1/2 years, having raised a son, who himself is married and has 2 sons of his own. He lives in McAllen, TX. I've had an interest in genealogy since I was a child [although I referred to it as finding my roots], but due to a job & raising our son, lacked the time until a couple of years ago. My wife & I have long found enjoyment in helping others, in my case doing what I can to help in family history. I have found that the lists I've taken part in have helped a lot in locating family members on either my own or that of my wife's family. Enjoy this new site and I do hope that it will assist you users with your genealogical work & discussions. It is intended to be a tool for that purpose. Take care & God Bless, Sincerily, Edward A.

Hello Pueblo Listers: Glad to have a home town mail list. These are the surnames I research: RUSSELL, FOLEY, KENDALL, WOOD, GULLION, RICHARDSON, BAYIER, GARDINHAR, LEDBETTER, GODFREY, CANNON, BLADES, CLEMENTS.

If anyone has access to the 1910 census, I would be most grateful for information about Roy Sutherland. He married Sadie Maxwell b. 1879 either Iowa or Illinois. Thanks very much Josette Maxwell Boone NC

The obit of Alice Bishop states that her daughter, Mrs. Roy Sutherland, is living in Pueblo at the time of her death in 1913. This daughter was listed as "Sadie" in the 1880 census. She is not living with her widowed mother Alice Maxwell (who married Bishop) in 1900 in Prowers Co. and I can't find her in Colorado in 1900 living by herself. THe problem is that I cannot find a Roy Sutherland 1910 or 1920 in Colorado with a wife Sadie who is the right age and born in Iowa. There is a Roy Sutherland with wife Saide but both are born in Nova Scotia; checked 1910 and 1900 for them and she is listed in these as well as born in Nova Scotia. Alice Bishop was a member of the United Presbyteian Church in 1913 and was buried by the McCarthy FUneral chapel; internment was Mountain View Cemetery. I think it must be that both "Roy" and "Sadie" were family nicknames rather than names used on the Census. Does anyone have any knowledge of any records 1913 which would contain names of residents of Pueblo or the Presbyterian Church? Tax records, school records, city directories, whatever. Would greatly appreciate help. Josette Maxwell BOone NC
