| Notes for Charles P.Chedsey |
|---|
Charles Phillips Chedsey and his wife, Sarah C. Squires, moved in 1840 to Marshall, Michigan, but in 1841 returned to Durham , Conn. where in 1842 he engaged in farming. In 1872 they came west to Boulder, Colorado. In 1874 they started to build a brick home. Sons Charles, Hubert, and Joseph helped to build the family residence. Charles P. Chedsey had several acres in Boulder that he farmed. [ The Chedsey House in Boulder is still standing, being the second-oldest house in the city, the oldest being the home of Charles P. Chedsey's brother-in-law , F.A.Squires.] Charles P. Chedsey was a farmer by occupation and was so engaged throughout his active career. |
" The founders [ of the State University ] understood that it would bring here the best class of citizens - - - the intelectual, thecultures, the moral, coming both for the education of their children and for the sake of society that clusters about prosperous seats of learning. It should ever be remembered to their honor that they were in advanced in appreciating this advantage; and were the foremost of all Colorado settlers in a profound sense of the importance of founding a great school of learning, the benifits of which to a place are of the most wholesome and endearing character, extending throughout all generations." |

" The Park lands are pastoral rather than agricultural, but some farming is conducted in South Park, and still more in San Luis. All are well watered, mountain streams flowing through them from the mountains above to the valleys below. They were once alive with game- - - the happy hunting grounds of the Ute and Arapahoes- - - and not infrequently the scene of sever conflicts between rival tribes, although mainly held by the Utes, while the Arapahoes held the plains country. Game, however, has almost entirely disappeared from South and San Luis Parks, and is seldom seen in Middle Park, except in the winter season, when heavy falls of snow on the range drives the game into the Park and adjacent valleys. North Park, however, is still stocked with game. It is almost uninhabited, seldom visited save by hunters, and is more a " terra incognita" than almost any part of Colorado, outside of the Indian Reservation . This is accounted for by its lack of attractive features, and the fact that the country is comparatively valueless either for agriculture or stock breading. It is said to be the poorest part of the State, and so little is thought of it that even now it is in doubt which contiguous county shall exert jurisdiction over the Park." |
