    1. Our Currents in Colorado Springs History
    2. Marilyn Current
    3. Ira, Richard, Grace, and Irma Current were children of Park Current, of Maquoketa, Iowa, who moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado shortly after the turn of the century. They are 3x-great-grandchildren of our William Current I, Loyalist, who moved from Sussex Co., NJ to Niagara Dist., Can., and therefore, they are also 4th cousins of my father-in-law, Charles Emerson Current. The following articles, written by Ira and Richard, are posted on the Old Colorado City Historical website, and contain early pictures of themselves, their mother and two of their sisters. The first article is about derby car races on White Loaf Hill near Pikes Peak, the second about the old steam trains that ran through the area, and the third a human interest story of an old pioneer of the area, written by Richard when he was only 16 (now in his late 80's.) BTW- when I copy and enlarge the picture of Ira Current in the first article, he shows a marked resemblence to my own father-in-law around the same age. :-) Very interesting!
