April 1892 Greeley, Colorado "Mrs. J. C. Higley and daughters have returned from California and are stopping in Greeley to enable the girls to attend school."
(This one is likely too old)

1893 Greeley "J. C. Higley, the populist candidate for county clerk, is an old and respected resident of Weld county, having lived here previous to the settlement of the colony. He was elected as assessor shortly after the settlement of Greeley and made one of the best officials in that capacity. Since that time he has been engaged in farming, and until the organization of the farmers alliance in Weld county did not, for many years, trouble himself much about political affairs. It is needless to say that Mr. Higley was also an ardent republican until he saw the grand old organization that once covered itself with glory, fall from its high estate, and become the fence for robbers and thieves while they plundered the nation and the people; then with the formation of the new party, soon destined to displace both the old parties in the councils of the nation, he promptly joined its ranks and talked and worked for its success from that day to this."
