This from Ruthie Adkinson:
Dr. Royal (Roy) Chase Adkinson (b. 1871,
Ridgefield, Indiana) was a medical doctor in the town of
Florence, Fremont county at the turn of the century and
is listed in the Medical Doctors of Colorado (1903-1904).
He graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago,
Illinois and having been "sponsored" by his
uncle, Dr. Charles Enfield of Jefferson, Greene Co.,
Iowa. Dr. Adkinson was four when his father, Irvin D.
Adkinson, a Congregational minister in West Concord, New
Hampshire died. His mother, Mary J. Elden Adkinson and
sister, Blanche soon moved to Jefferson to be close to
her sister, Josephine (Elden) Enfield. After Dr.
Adkinson's graduation in 1895, the family moved to
Colorado. He began his practice in Florence and shortly
his wife died and is buried in Jefferson, Iowa. He
remarried and within a year, this wife died. Then I
believe he married Madelon Reed in 1904. I would like to
know if they had any children. He lived in Florence until
1926. His mother is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in
Colorado Springs. My husband's father, Omer Paris
Adkinson was a second cousin to Dr. Adkinson and did not
know he was from Colorado. Omer Adkinson came to Colorado
in 1917 and helped build the Pike's Peak Road. He then
settled in Crowley County and in 1930 bought and ran
Adkinson's General Store in the town of Crowley until he
retired in 1963.

This history was taken from a
typed manuscript:
"The Reminiscences of George W. Griffin of Canon
City, Colorado" as related by George W. Griffin on
February 18, 1931:
George W. Griffin was born in
VanWert County, Ohio on 2 January, 1847. His father,
Benjamin Griffin, joined the gold rush to California in
1849 and remained in California something over a year,
then returned to Ohio. In the year 1860, the Griffin
family came across the plains with ox teams along with
Anson Rudd's family. This party had heard of the rich
placer mines that had been discovered the year before in
Colorado. The trip across the plains was rather
uneventful. They saw thousands of Indians, but they were
all peaceful. No live buffalo were seen, although many
dead ones that had been shot by hunters were scattered
over the plains.
The first destination of the party was Denver, and there
they stopped for two days, getting information as to
which of the many placer diggings was the best. Denver
was only a village at that time but full of people who
could tell of the wonderful strikes being made at
different camps. California Gulch was chosen because
here, they were told, gold could be found lying right on
top of the ground. The trip from Denver to California
Gulch took almost a week. They stopped at Fairplay and it
was here that Anson Rudd with a stranger who told him all
about Canon City. Rudd went to Mr. Griffin and told what
he had heard and remarked that he believed that Canon
City was just the kind of place they were hunting. Mr.
Griffin answered that they had started west to try mining
and that he was going to California Gulch, which he did.
The Griffin family arrived at California Gulch on July
14, 1860. They made good money from their placer mining
operation, but their claim wasn't nearly as good as those
above or below them.
When winter came on in 1860, the Griffin family came to
Canon City, as it was impossible to mine during the
winter months. Mrs. Griffin had known Mrs. Rudd in
Kansas, and they were great friends. The Rudds were
living in what is now the Penitentiary Park. Mr. Rudd was
running a blacksmith shop at about Third or Fourth
street. The Griffin family set up their tent alongside
the Rudd house. The two ladies wanted to have homes close
to each other, so Rudd and Griffin each purchased two
lots on River street, Rudd owning where the new Municipal
Building now stands, and Griffin owning the two lots
directly east. The Griffin home was built first and then
the Rudd home. George Griffin hauled the logs for both
homes. Later the log home of the Griffins was moved to
Griffin avenue in South Canon and is now part of the barn
on the Griffin Homestead.
At this time, there was a sort of bridge over the river
at about First street, but was washed out in the high
water on 1871. A foot bridge was put across the river and
it was used in the winter, but when the summer rains
started it would be taken down and stored until fall.
Teams had to cross the fiver fording. There were two
fords, one at First street and the other at the back of
the Municipal Building. When the waters were up in the
summer, the people did not try to cross the river by
fording, but used a boat on a cable, a sort of ferry.
Benjamin and Joanna Griffin, the parents of George
Griffin, homesteaded the land south of the river where
the Diamond Ford Brick Plant is now located, and all the
land lying between Fourth street and Ninth street and
extending south to the South Canon Ditch. They lived in
North Canon until 1864 when they moved to where George
Griffin now lives at 629 Griffin Avenue, South Canon.
George W. Griffin secured a squatter's right to the ranch
at the head of Oak Creek Canyon in 1870. He lived there
with his wife Ellen for many years and it was here that
all but one of his children were born. The children of
George W. Griffin were: Leota Griffin Bell, Will, Albert
E., Edward, Charles, and John.
My parents are buried here in Canon City at the
Lakeside Cemetery. My father, Leo M. (Tree) Kennedy died
11-6-1980, in Aurora, but we had him buried here. He was
born 6-17-1907 in Oklahoma. My mother died here in Canon
on 8-8-1990; she was born 7-29-1917 in Voca, Texas.
This was submitted by Anne Mallary. Soon after this was
received I was informed that Anne Mallary has passed
away.
My Dad was born in Coal Creek,
Co. on Oct. 16, 1914. His father was working in the mines
there at the time. My Dad's name was Edmond Thomas
Cobley. His parents were Thomas Cobley and Cora Cobley.
My grandfather's family owned a ranch in Canon City, His
father, Thomas Cobley, had been a guard at the prison
there and I have a gold pin that was given to him for 25
years of service by the state prisons. As a child I
remember visiting my Dad's Aunt Cassie at the ranch. I
remember there was no electricity and she had a wonderful
old player piano that we had to pump with our feet. When
Thomas Cobley Sr. died in 1923 my grandfather Thomas
Cobley Jr. moved his family out to Calif. where he worked
for Shell Oil Co. until he retired. He let his sisters
have the ranch when he left Co. I am looking for more
info. on the Cobley family. I don't know my Aunt Cassie's
married name and would like to hear from anyone who might
know of this part of the family. I would also like to
know when the Cobley's settled in Co. and where they came
from before that. I have found the graves of Thomas
Cobley Sr. , Annie Cobley his wife and a son of theirs
that died as a child named Charles. There is also a
Maruice Cobley and I don't know who he is and if there is
any relation to our family. Any help anyone can give me
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Joyce Cobley Neely
