My grandfather, Adolph August
Creutz, came to America from Germany in about 1880 and my
grandmother from Denmark at about the same time. They met
and married in Denver. (I do have a copy of their
marriage certificate). Three of my aunts were born in
Denver and then the family decided to homestead on 360
acres east of Denver near Watkins. I am told it was on
the edge of what is now D.I.A. My father (born on the
homestead in 1897) told me that it was near Box Elder
Creek about seven miles north of Watkins. Nothing is left
of the homesight now. In 1945 there was still an old
windmill, but it has been torn down since that time. I do
know that an article was published about my aunts in the
Denver Post on June 2, 1907. I would like to find out the circumstances surrounding the murder of my grandfather, Adolph August Creutz. He died April 3, 1903 and is buried in the cemetery at Brighton, Colorado. His death certificate indicates that he died of gunshot wounds. It also indicates that it was murder.

County, Colorado.I would like to get a copy of her
obituary. I am trying to determine if this Angela Durick
is the step daughter of my great uncle Peter Motzko. He
married Nellie Durick, who had a daughter Angela.Angela
lived in Butte, Montana until the middle 1920's. She was
listed in the city directories in Butte as a nurse. She
lived with her mother who was a widow, as my great uncle
died in 1922. I believe that when Angela moved that her
