When I first read the field notes of Annie Alexander and Louise Kellogg, I was fascinated by the descriptions they wrote about the places they went and the plants and animals they found there. By publishing my field notes on the Internet I hope to follow a little bit in their tradition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A Link to Past Gone Mrs. Ella Turner's kin founded church Book of Mormon was written in home of Woman's Great-Grandfather Mrs. Ella Turner, 96, who was buried in Richmond, Mo., was a frail woman whi kept close to her home at 4115 Bell Street, but for the nearly 2 million members of the Monmon churches, she was a link to their beginnings. In the home of Mrs. Turner's great-grandfather, Peter Whitmer, the Mormon church was founded. In that small frame home in Fayette, N. Y., Joseph Smith sat and dictated to her two great uncles, Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer, the Book of Mormon. Time passed, and the persecuted Mormons moved from New York to Ohio, then Illinois, then to the west. Mrs. Turner's kin settled in Richmond. David Whitmer still had the manuscript of the book. Hard times followed David's death and his son, George Schwiech, took a loan from the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints. The book was his security. Schweich never reclaimed the book. Today it is in the vault of the City National bank here. Mrs. Bessie Marston, Mrs. Turner's daughter, took her mother to see the book several years ago at the R. L. D. S. auditorium in Independence. Elders of the church knew of Mrs. Turner, and told her to stay and look at the book as long as she liked. Mrs. Turner died Thursday. [The article has the hand-written notation, "Paul, I have heard your father speak of this book many times."]

Tucker Gulch, fed in part by Cressmans Gulch, flooded with the peak of the flood coming at about 7:00PM on Saturday, July 24, 1965. Rain and started falling on Tuesday, July 21st, and continued intermittently, with increasing surges of water until the Saturday evening flood. Several bridges were damaged and torrents of mud spilled down Washington Avenue and Ford Street. Somewhat ironically, a previous flood on Tucker Gulch occurred on the same day in 1896 (Colorado Transcript, 99(43), July 29, 1965).

August 5, 1965. . . Back to the July 24 flood, a resident on the south side of Clear Creek across from North Table mountain said she never before saw water pouring off the mountain as it did that afternoon she said it looked like Niagara Falls -- this seems no exaggeration when the flood damage along Easley Rd. is viewed -- water poured through the new subdivision on W. 44th and Easley Rd. and huge boulders crashed down the mountain -- the channel of Clear creek changed and water was flowing north of the Mclntyre bridge instead of under the bridge -- the channel now has been diverted back under the bridge -- Church ditch is littered with debris for miles -- heavy equipment is being used to clear the ditch channel which overflowed for the first time that residents ever can remember -- the J. Lester Trezises, who have lived on Easley Rd. for 48 years, never remember seeing the ditch overflow before, but this time sandbags were needed to keep water out of the house and their patio was flooded the Trezises measured 6 inches of rainfall at their home in one week -- water ran through many other houses along Easley Rd. and a new home, apparently out of any flood area, was badly damaged by water and its foundation undermined . . . Here in Golden the clean-up continues and every cloud is viewed with apprehension hundreds of truck loads of silt, rocks and debris have been hauled from the flooded area to the bank of Clear creek west of Arapahoe St. and to the clay pit dump --
