August 1, 1907 "Henry, the eldest son of Henry S and Caroline C. Hatch, was born in the town of Philadelphia, Jefferson county, New York, on the 12th day of June, 1840. After four years, the family moved to Russell, St. Lawrence county, New York, to make their permanent home. Christian inlluences early had their effect upon young Henry, and at the age of fourteen he was converted and joined the Baptist church of his home town, Russell, N. Y.
On thr 27th day of August 1861, he enlisted in Battery D of the 1st N. Y. Light Artillery, where he served until January 4th 1864, when he was honorably discharged on account of ill health.
After spending some months with his parents, he regained his health in some measure and went west to DeKalb, I11., the same fall, where he resided for about four years, during which time he was married to Elizabeth A. W. Cook, March 10th 1868. In the fall of the same year the young couple went to Iowa and lived there about five years.
From there they moved to Gibbon, Neb. After residing there several years they came to northeastern Colorado and for a quarter of a century have been well known and honored residents. Mr. Hatch has been a farmer all his life.
His health finally failed, until he sold his farm near Sterling and in April 1895 moved to town. Ever since Mr. Hatch's conversion in boyhood, he has lived the Christian life, ever holding fast to his faith during the trying years of army life. Wherever he has lived, he has been a member of the Baptist church, and if there were no Baptist church near, he joined with others of like faith in organizing one as soon as possible. He has helped organize seven Baptist churches, of which six are still doing service for the Lord. He has always done all in his power by his presence, his prayers, his influence and his means to advance the interests of his church and the kingdom of his Lord.
For the last two years Mr. Hatch was almost a constant sufferer from a complication of diseases. In March of this year he was confined to his room, where he died Friday night, July 26, 1907.
He leaves to mourn him his wife, three sons and two daughters, three brothers, S. W. Hatch of Chicago, J W. Hatch of Minneapolis, and Rev. W. J. Hatch of Denver, and one sister, Mrs. E. H. Wetz of Malta, I11., survive him. His brother from Denver was present when he died.
Mr. Hatch leaves a host of friends who join heartily in their sympathy with the bereaved family.
The funeral at the Baptist church was attended by many more people than could possibly gain entrance to the building. The services were held Sunday at 11 o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in Riverview cemetery."

Lumber Company, during the time when elevators were a dream and the unloading had to be done into the cars.

In the last named department their feeds are ground by electrically driven machinery, mixed after their own formulas and guaranteed of the most superior quality.
Flour of the popular 'Columbian' brand, made at St. Edwards, Nebraska, is one of their specialties, being bought in car lots at close prices. They also buy and sell a vast quantity of poultry and eggs, supplying the local hotels and markets and shipping large orders to the Denver market.
The famous International Stock and Poultry Food is handled, as well as all kinds of poultry supplies, Blatchford's Calf Meal and Wizard Fertilizer for house plants and lawns, the latter being a highly superior article, odorless and cheap.

Lavenia Edith Morgan McCoy BIRTH 14 Jul 1919 DEATH 31 Aug 2015 BURIAL Bayfield Cemetery Bayfield, La Plata County, Colorado, MEMORIAL ID 152997671.
"Lavenia Edith Morgan was born to John and Anna Marquardt Morgan on July 14, 1919, two months before she was expected. Her grandmother, Lavenia Hatch Marquardt, made an incubator in the kitchen oven.
Lavenia Morgan arrived in Bayfield on Sunday, January 1, 1939; she was 19 and had just completed a bachelor's degree at Colorado Normal School in Greeley. Her chosen field of study had been civil engineering; the traditionalist dean said education. She started teaching January 2 at Bayfield High School, where some of the senior students were older than she. That daunted her not at all.
On Tuesday, she started volunteering at Bayfield's library, then a shelf of shared books in Beech's store. Eventually she helped move the collection to the building that had been Farmers and Miners Bank, on the northeast corner of Mill and Pearl Streets, where she and Mrs. MacMillan started cataloging books by Dewey Decimal System.
Lavenia and Dee McCoy, who lived in the house across the fence to the north of the home where Lavenia boarded and was sponsored as a single teacher, told the same story about how they met until they got to the part about who threw the first snowball.
Most of all they loved their family: Ann McCoy Harold; Stewart McCoy; and Donnalee and Harry Baxstrom, their children Lavenia and Vince Taylor and son TJ, and Ashley and Dawn Baxstrom and son Jagger Boone.
She worked in the school office, taught and was school librarian in Bayfield until the mid 60's when she went to Ignacio schools. She retired there in 1972. She often said, ""It's a real pleasure that people who were once my students have become my friends.""
She is remembered by many of those friends as having been fair, not attempting to be sure everyone got the same thing but striving to be sure each got what he or she needed at the moment. Sometimes the dose was not pleasant, just necessary.
Being a good citizen is a value Lavenia held dear. She served on election boards, helped the effort to build Bayfield's first gym, sponsored school functions, and put Bayfield's library second only to her family. For those who wish to honor her with a memorial, please contribute to Lavenia McCoy Library, PO Box 227, Bayfield CO 81122.
She was honorary grandmother to Pine River 4-H Club for years. Her latest volunteer work was at Pine River Valley Heritage Center Museum. Lunches with other elders at Pine River Senior Center were special occasions.
Lavenia lived in that house where she began her married life in August, 1940, until her death, August 31, 2015."
