PIONEERS OF YUMA COUNTY

Following is a list of persons who settled within the limits of the 
present Yuma county prior to 1890, and who are still living here.  Every 
effort has been made to get the names and dates correct.  It is known 
that the list is not complete by any means, but the fact that so large a 
number have lived here so long a time speaks well for the farming and 
cattle interests of the country.  The writer has taken pains to see 
nearly every one of the persons here named. Where he has not done so the 
information has been secured from reliable sources.

The postoffice address of all is Wray, Colorado, except where otherwise 
indicated.

Should any one desire further information than is given in this booklet 
regarding Yuma county, these persons, from their long residence here are 
well qualified to furnish it, and doubtless would answer cheerfully any 
inquiry which might be made.  The date given here is in most cases the 
date of actual settlement:
