     Louis Lucero, of Howeville, about twenty-one miles north of Gunnison, is,

as his name would indicate, of Spanish ancestry and was born in New Mexico in

1860.  His father was Refufio Lucero, and he remained on the paternal homestead

until he reached the age of twenty.  He was educated at the schools near his

home and in the varied experience in life which he has had since leaving home. 

For nine years he lived at various places and was employed in different

occupations as circumstances or his inclination directed.  In 1889 he settled in

Gunnison county, this state, on a ranch of three hundred and twenty acres near

East river, which he still owns and conducts, and on which he has built up a

thriving and profitable stock business of magnitude and high character, managing

the enterprise with skill and systematic industry, and giving to every detail of

its requirements his own personal and careful attention.  He has improved his

land with good buildings ample in scope and complete in equipment, and adorned

with many evidences of good taste and a progressive spirit.  Being one of the

leading men in his neighborhood he has necessarily a voice of influence in the

affairs of the district and having large interests at stake is wise as well as

active in promoting every element of industrial and commercial progress and all

institutions of educational or moral usefulness.  Mr. Lucero was married in 1888

to Miss Mary Wilson, a native of New Mexico.  They have six children, Emma,

Claud, Florence, Louis, Mary and Garfield.  Mr. and Mrs. Lucero are among the

most highly respected citizens of their portion of the county, and have hosts of

friends.
