He had been since 1879 a resident of Colorado and since 1897 a tailor at Leadville. He became the father of a lovely girl and sought to make her a real woman and give her the advantages that the poverty of his early life had denied to him.
When his daughter died, he started all over again with the grandaughter she had left behind. When his wife died, he continued on alone...
He told his friends, "I learned to read, write and work problems in arithmetic from a servant girl that worked in the family of my employer". Yet at the time of his death he was planning for the college education of his grandaughter. And that was when he was past the age of 60."
