Dusenbury, Elsie*: 1880-1918; was she related to Lester Dusenbury who ran hydro­electric plant halfway up Crystal Creek Falls house of Empire Water and Power Co. organized in 1906 at Green Mountain Falls? It provided electricity from 6 p.m. to midnight in the summer months. Crystal Creek Falls was destroyed when a water line was run to the Air Force Academy in the 1950s (Pettit, Ute Pass). McConnell, p. 67, also refers to Lester Dusenbury who owned a warehouse (The Columbine Lodge in 1963), built the church, and owned a tent colony in Green Mountain Falls. Letter from Peggy Bartlett notes Dusenberry (her fraternal grandfather) had Ute Pass Trading Post and was architect for the church. Dwinell, L. E.: (office in room 11, Bank Building, Colorado Springs) must have been involved in legal work of incorporation. Stockholder meeting notice in Woodland Park View, January 27, 1893, “The Annual meeting of stockholders of Woodland Park Town and Impt Co., for election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting will be held at the office of L.

Was private secretary for Dr. Bell. Built No Name Railroad with Dr. Bell (eight miles long) to bring logs from Manitou Park woods to sawmill. Louisa Blood says it went from the log pond at Manitou Park to a fish ranch near Devil's Head crags. Colwell article (March 24, 1957) says it ran from Cantrell Gulch at the south end to Drury Gulch at the north end. Built as narrow gauge from light rails discarded from the D&RG Railroad. Fisher's sawmill 1880-89. 1880 census lists Heymer D. Fisher (34, born in Ohio, parents born in Massachusetts) who keeps a boarding house and sawmill, wife Julia H., 32, children Louisa D., 8 (article about her February 18, 1951; she later married Charles Blood, a Colorado Springs contractor who was an early conductor of the train at Manitou Park) and Frank C., 5. Mrs. Blood said many Finlanders worked in Fisher's logging camp. Mill’s capa­city was 70,00 board feet of lumber a day in two shifts. Lumber was hauled from the camp to a transferring station at Crystola. Four mules were hitched to a wagon. At Crystola different mules were hitched to the wagons and only two to a team for the haul on down to Manitou and Colorado Springs. McConnell, p. 3, notes him as an incorporator of Colorado Midland Railway. McConnell, p. 84, "Lumber operations in the area were sharply curtailed after 1892 when a timber reserve was created by the U.S. government to halt the devastation of the watershed.” Clyde Denny and Hunter Carroll use the word "stolen" or "borrowed" to describe Fisher's ownership of the railroad. Mr. Fisher in a humorous ceremony designated Mr. Hemming engineer, Charles H. Blood conductor, Bill Mulligan trainman but hadn’t given a name to the railroad. Engine #5 (built 1871 by Baldwin Locomotive Works) was also called "Ouray." Paper on Colorado's first resort and fish hatchery, in Woodland Park Library, Local History Book, p. 7, Author unknown. Flood, 1902: McConnell, p. 73, notes storm centered on Woodland Park set off a flash flood that wiped out every bridge in Ute Pass, the entire wagon road in the canyon, 200 feet of Midland tracks near Marigreen Pines, fences, barns, stock, and Rainbow Falls. Gazette, 1910, "road convicts will do construction work on the Ute Pass road to the county line. When finished the road was 20 feet wide and it had assumed the elegant name, The Lincoln Highway'."

Advertisement in Woodland Park View, January 27,1893, lists him as president of Rocky Mountain Mining and Investment Co., office room 28, Bank Block, Colorado Springs. Gambling: In the late 1940s, three large gambling establishments put Woodland Park on the map as the place to go for some action. A nationwide crackdown on gambling brought raids and put a screeching halt to the gaming houses ten years later. Residents say the games were legitimate, entertainment and food were top-notch, and no one objected but the government and the Denver Post (Pettit, Ute Pass, pp. 51-52). Gazette Telegraph November 25, 1951, quotes Woodland Park Times, April 4,1902, that Tuesday was “gamblers day" in the district court. All 39 defend­ants in the court trials were let off with suspended sentences on promises to “be good." It seemed to matter little that the businessmen of the turn of the century pleaded guilty to allowing games of chance and gambling tables to be operated in their places of business. The court, which has never been a party to losing a cash customer, did collect costs from the boys, but little else could be expected in the light of other news in the nearly fifty-year-old paper. Gibbs, John*: died in 1893 at 68. Was proprietor of Woodland Park restaurant, advertisement in Woodland Park View, January 27, 1893. Gilpin, Frank: had interests in Manitou Park and Torrington.

Edith Brann says he was from Baltimore. Rhoda Wilcox says Dr. Bell and Gen. Palmer made Frank the manager of the Manitou Park Resort north of Woodland Park when his business was in trouble. In 1910 his attempts at being an independent mining and investment broker came to naught and he decided to return to his life as a cowboy and moved his family to a cattle ranch at Austin, Colorado, near Delta. Money rapidly ran out and Laura had to be brought home from Boston and she determined to start her own business feeding turkeys. Her mother died in 1927. The family moved back to Colorado Springs and began a furniture business. Gilpin, Laura: June 4, 1940, minutes of Board of Trustees of Woodland Park note that "Mayor Nalor announced that Miss Foster and Miss Gilpin would deed the cemetery to the town as a donation."

Palmer purchased 26,000 acres from government in 1870 and developed the first area resort with hotel built in 1873, Manitou Lake, nine-hole golf course, swimming pool, bowling alley, and race track. They built a fish hatchery and furnished trout to the hotel and the Antlers Hotel in Colorado Springs. That hotel burned in 1886. Second hotel built and it burned in 1897. No guest registers survive. Present town of Woodland Park was then called Manitou Park Station. Gazette Telegraph, January 14, 1945, "in the early [18]80's Manitou Park used to share about equally with Estes Park in the tourist business from the east." McConnell, p. 84, by 1905 Bell had returned to England and was trying to liquidate all of his holdings in this country. Gen. Palmer bought the Manitou Park property and gave it to Colorado College (April 30, 1906), which maintained a forestry school there until 1931."

Pemberton, Mr. and a friend: "In 1896 was digging along banks of West Creek 3 miles west of Rainbow Falls Park, when he discovered gold dust.

Pourtales, Louis O.: "was ranching some miles up Ute pass to correct a tendency toward intemperance" (per cousin of James Pourtales who was a dairyman and original Broadmoor area developer).

Visited by James in mid-1884 before James planned Broadmoor involvement. Louis was a very popular man and apparently rescued a group of people who had tipped a boat over in Green Mountain Falls lake (from Marshall Sprague’s Gallery of Dudes, p. 250) McConnell, p. 65, says: The Green Mountain Falls Hotel opened its first season with a week end of compliment­ary festivities for two hundred members of Colorado Springs’ best society and guests from Denver, Pueblo etc. on Saturday in May of 1889. She quotes the Gazette, “The ‘Florence Dow,’ a trim little sailing craft that is to plow the raging billows of Green Mountain Falls Lake" had been added to the fleet of rowboats. The weekend nearly ended in tragedy. . . . The Town Company's president, Mr. Dow, evidently carried away by the merriment of the hotel opening, rowed a boatful of passengers, including his wife and baby, up to the side of the fountain which was originally in the lake. The passengers jumped to one side of the boat to get out of the spray and the boat capsized. Fortunately, "Mr. Pourtales [the brother of the Broadmoor's Count Pourtales] a gentleman who lives at Manitou Park, and a splendid swimmer . . . happened to be in the depot near the lake and hearing the cries ran out. . . . He threw off his coat and plunging into the water managed by a noble effort to support the drowning ones until help came in one of the other boats. When taken from the water all were unconscious. But the tale ended happily." On 1880 census as stone mason, born in Sweden, both parents born in Sweden. (Accounts of James’s home list "Selesia," which is now part of Poland.
