Jeanne Thanks so much. How true, I found information about Colorado from Harry Bryan's website link from our Wayne County website as follows: "Longmont, Colorado, Feb. 17th, 1896 I am living on a ranch 35 miles north of Denver, near Longmont. Our youngest son, *C. H. Harmon*, and I raised a fine crop of all kinds of vegetables and grain last season. We live in a beautiful country and are doing well. Our son, *C. A. Harmon*, and our son-in-law, *Ben Williams*, live in Denver. They run a farmer’s corral and feed and grain stable, and deal in horses and mules and live stock. Our son, *Frank*, is working on a ranch near Litleton. He is doing well. Our two son-in-laws, *I. T. Richards* and *O. M. Yocum*, live in Fairplay. *Mr. Richards* is in the dairy business and deals in stock. *Mr. Yocum* runs a butcher shop and is in the mining business. Our son-in-law, *John Bobett*, is living in Missouri and is farming and is doing well. *Bazzle Harmon*." What a small world. I live about 13 miles south of Longmont, CO. Laurel will know where it's at!! I drove up to Longmont recently because they still have a farm supply store and I needed a pond heater. They had a heater they sell for cattle pongs to keep them from freezing so cattle can still drink during the cold winters here in Colorado. Works perfect for my Koi fish pond in my backyard. Now I can keep my waterfall running all winter and keep the pond from freezing so the fish can get oxygen.
