THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT NECESSARILY CONNECTED TO THE YUMA COUNTY Kate and Daniel.
One family member wrote "Many of the family members
lived at 2648 Champa, then they built two homes on the
empty lot next to that, and I believe the matriarch of the
family, Anne Flaherty, died in one of those two homes in
1914. After her death, the remaining family members
left for California to join the others.
No one was left in Colorado, except Anne's son
Daniel who was in the Soldier's Home in San Luis Valley. He died in 1931."
