GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
119 Years Ago
The “Local News” column in the October 13, 1904 Colorado Transcript provides a nice window into life in Golden at that time.
The new depot of the Northwestern electric at the corner of Washington avenue and 13th street is nearly ready for occupancy, and work upon the grounds, approaches and cement sidewalks will soon be completed. This improvement is not only an ornament to that part of the city, but will be of great convenience to the patrons of this road.
An excellent concert is to be given at the opera house tomorrow night by Prof. Hugh McCabe. Although totally blind, Mr. McCable is a finished artist on the piano, as well as a vocalist.
The American Polyscope Co., the largest and grandest animated picture company in the world, comes to the opera house Saturday, Oct. 15th, for two performances.
The Denver News of Tuesday makes mention of a proposed new administration building for the School of Mines, to be erected here at an approximate cost of $100,000, the funds to be contributed by unnamed wealthy Colorado mining men. This information was given us some weeks ago with strict injunction to make no mention of it or the names of the proposed donors, and will only say that the new building will be a worthy monument to the far-seeing, generous donors, and fill the proverbially long-felt want at this grand institution.
A. A. Porter, a man about eighty years of age and for many years janitor of the North Side school building in Golden, died suddenly on the 7th inst. while at work about the building.
George Edward Moore, a former resident of Golden, died at the Metropolitan sanitarium in Denver on the 5th, and was buried in Golden cemetery beside his mother. Deceased was 22 years of age and died of typhoid fever.
After a lingering illness, Anthony J. Elwardt, the cigar manufacturer at 13th and Ford streets, died last Friday, of tuberculosis at the age of 32 years.
It becomes our painful duty to record the death of Mrs. Katherine McIntyre, whose dangerous illness was mentioned in our last issue. Death came to her relief after our paper went to press on the evening of the 5th, at the age of 63 years and 4 months, of chronic bronchitis.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
