James Edward "Ned" Burkholder enjoyed spending time out-of-doors and fishing at Naylor Lake near Georgetown, Colorado.
He was the son of James H. and Sarah Burkholder, owners of Louis Dupuy's Hotel de Paris, Burkholder Hardware, and an opera house in Georgetown, Colorado.
James H. died the year before Ned and his younger sister Hazel Mary Helen graduated from Georgetown High School. The commencement exercises of 1907 took place in their mother Sarah's opera house. Colorado Governor Henry Augustus Buchtel gave the address and awarded the diplomas. The graduation celebration took place at Hotel de Paris.
Ned attended the Colorado State Normal School (now the University of Northern Colorado) at Greeley, Colorado. The Normal School trained qualified teachers to meet a vital need for the state's public schools; however, Ned's occupation was miner.
He served in World War I in the U.S. 12th Infantry. He played the clarinet and was a Musician-Third Class. He became a band corporal and received a Victory Medal in 1920.
After WWI, Ned worked as a miner in Colorado (gold, silver, copper) and Pennsylvania (coal). He was also employed by the Pennsylvania Forestry Service and worked for the Works Projects Administration in forestry.
Ned contracted tuberculosis in the Capital Mine in Georgetown and died at Tuberculosis Sanitarium #3 in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
