Additional Comments:


Julius Heinrich Alpenfels was my 2x Great-grandmother.  His first wife was 
Caroline (Gunther) Alpenfels; they were married on November 1, 1887 in Denver, 
Arapahoe Co., Colorado (the area is now part of Denver Co.).  She was the 
mother of my Great-grandfather (Julius's eldest child), William Francis 
Alpenfels.  Caroline died July 13, 1900 from Typhoid Fever while residing in 
Florence, Fremont Co., Colorado, where Julius was working as a mining engineer 
in the area mines.  She and Julius are both buried at Riverside Cemetery in 
Denver, Denver Co., Colorado.  They were also the parents to Edwin J. Alpenfels 
who died as a infant/toddler on September 11, 1889.  He is also buried a 
Riverside Cemetery.

Julius's 2nd wife was Jenne A. Johnson (not related to me) on October 21, 1901 
in Denver, Denver Co., Colorado.  Jenne was the mother of all of the other 
children listed on his Declaration.  

***Note*** The birthdates of his children are not correct, close, but not 
correct.
