It is believed that Gertrude was a Denver native and it is not known exactly how "old" Gertrude was according to her daughter Mavea. Mother never would "say" how old she was and I guess that's how it was for women of that day.
Truly a woman activist belonging to many organizations, like the Daughters of Colorado, (which she was a life long member). She was a powerful matriarch of the family. Losing her husband at a relatively young age. She had to be strong and that she was. I, only knowing her briefly at 12, no one ruffled "grandma's feathers".
