T. Naylor and M.E. Butler. Also, George's wife's maiden name was Stober, and I find a G. W. Stober listed as having sold his hardware stock to Cain & Son and building a large two-story stone building where the furniture store was. If anyone has any information about Mrs. F. T. Naylor and/or M.E. Butler, or G.W. Stober, I would appreciate hearing about it. I want to say how wonderful all of the people associated with Morland have been helping us find out about our relatives. Thank you all.

(Includes a lot of history of Graham County and surrounding communities too.) Committee members were: Mrs. Alice (Alford) Nesbitt, Mrs. Ruth (Deane) Siegrist, Mrs., Julia (Harold) Knobel, Mrs. Floy (Robert) Clark, Mrs. Faye (Charles) Minium, Mrs. Wava (Gary) Skipper, Mrs. Lee (Jerry) Helberg. As I said in my earlier post I got my copy years ago from Faye Minium and it was about the last copy available. A relative told me last winter that reprints are available again. She suggested contacting Faye Minium or The Citizens' Bank in Morland. I went to the bank’s website & found the email address and sent a message, but got no response. Due to health problems I got lazy didn't do a followup. I am getting ready to go to Alaska to work for the Summer so probably won't get anything more done before the end of August. I’d suggest contacting the bank or a member of the committee if they can be found. If it isn't available now, I've considered scanning the booklet and putting it on a cd for my kids. If I have time to do that later, maybe it could be made available to others. Ray Pruiett

(Willard) Pruiett was my dad.. I'm slowly going through a trunk & several boxes of news clippings that my grandmother (Carrie Shotwell Kobler) and my mother (Thelma Kobler Pruiett) saved over the years. Most are related to family but many of them include neighborhood news too. For many years my Gr.Aunt Eda Kobler Higer and later her daughter-in-law, Lydia Higer wrote neighborhood news from around Penokee for Hill City Times. There are a lot of their clippings in the boxes. I am trying to make a note of names to keep track of for postings. I heard recently that the Morland Centenial booklet is available again. Any one interested in Graham CO History should try to get a copy. I got one of the last of the originals years ago. I believe it was from Faye Minium at the Citizens Bank in Morland. I had to tell her I still had my little barrel savings bank from Citizens from 1934! The Centinial booklet is about 100 pages full of articles by residents of the county and has loads of pictures, and reprints of old news stories.. I've found it a wonderful resource.
