Photo History
CAPTION:
My Aunt Leoda Simpson Smith (born 9 April 1909) loaned me this
photo to scan. Her mother, Laura Trembath Simpson, ran this
boarding house somewhere in the vicinity of Walsenburg, although
Aunt Leoda couldn't tell me exactly where. Aunt Leoda worked
there as a child. The miners would leave their lunch buckets on
the porch when they came back from work at night, and Aunt Leoda
would gather them up and wash them, then help her mother fill
them with the lunches the next day. If anybody sees this picture
and can help locate the boarding house more precisely, I'd sure
appreciate it. What I'm hoping, of course, is that someone
related to the
Simpsons or the Trembaths will get in touch with me.
