    3. Hello fellow researchers, This is my first post to the Pueblo Colorado list. I hope I meet new cousins and find new information. This is what I have so far: My great grandfather, Richard Oglesby OSBORN, came to Colorado from Kansas with his parents, James and Sarah OSBORN. Grammy, Zola Beatrice COOK, came to Pueblo with her parents, William Madison COOK and Flora Belle EMERICK. Grammy was said to be 'drop dead gorgeous.' She was supposed to have dated the governor of Colorado sometime between 1909-1910? She took a secret to her grave that I recently uncovered. She told everyone that her husband died when my grandmother was a baby. I found out that they actually divorced and he remarried and had two sons by his second wife. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away before this was found out. Though I did find and have been in contact with the two brothers. Zola Beatrice COOK, b. 29 Nov 1888 in Winterset, Madison County, Iowa, d. 1981 in Pittsfield, Maine (lived most of her adult life in California). She married Richard Oglesby OSBORN in June 1911 in Pueblo, Colorado. Richard was b. 10 June 1888 in Hoyt, Kansas, d. 1959 in Michigan. They had one child together. Anita Frances OSBORN, b. 27 Mar 1912 in Pueblo, Colorado. When Anita was around 2-4 years old she had long blonde curly hair. I was told that indians would sit around outside the home she lived in and wait to get to see her. She was supposed to be a beautiful little girl. I hope that some of this sounds familiar to someone out there. Please contact me, if we have some kind of connection. I have a few pictures to share.
