Colorado Pioneer 1859. Came to Colorado with Charles A. Cook who later became Denver's Mayor 1861-63. Operated a store with Cook in Denver. They accepted large amounts of gold dust for payment and later would make their own form of money called "scrip" to exchange for it and it was used all over town. They later changed the store into just a banking business.
