Daughter of Samuel Rexroad and Naomi Huffman

Mrs. Julia A. Harmon
Feeling that some of the most important events in my life will not be preserved if I leave the task of writing them to others, I have decided to prepare it myself. I was born in Randolph County, VA., in 1835, the daughter of Samuel and Naomi (Hoffman) Rexroad.
My mother, who was born January 15, 1807, was a second time married, a few years after the death of Mr. Rexroad becoming the wife of Hiram Harmon. She died February 8, 1856. After her death her brother, P. H. Hoffman, of Kentucky, wrote her obituary, which appears below [see mother's memorial]
In the year 1861 my husband, myself and our two little girls, Katie and Nellie, came to Colorado, leaving Illinois April 11, crossing the plains in a covered wagon, and arriving in Golden City June 8. In our travels we saw many Indians, but they were not on the warpath at that time. Later on many white people were killed and much property destroyed. We came here as gold seekers, but that was not a success. We then moved to a farm on Boulder Creek. With the care of a large dairy and a family of small children my life was a very hard one. My son, Wilson M., was born August 26, 1861; Frank H. was born January 30, 1863; and Guy D., March 5, 1867. When my children were old enough to go to school, we moved to Boulder, where I maintained them the best I could, always working very hard. After a few years we again moved on a farm where my boys made for themselves and me good homes ten miles southeast of the city of Boulder.
All of the children are married except Frank, who lives with me. Katie is the wife of T. B. Compton, a shoemaker by trade, living in Boulder. They have two children: Claude, eighteen years old, who is attending the high school; and Camille, thirteen years old, who is not strong enough to attend public school and is studying under a private teacher at home. Nellie is married to John R. Miner, a farmer living in Weld County. They have two children: Nettie and Ray, sixteen and fourteen years of age respectively. The first of the boys to marry was Guy, who married Maggie Dixon, an English girl; they have one son, Raymond, now six years of age. Wilson married Mary Harris, a Welsh girl. They have three children: Earl, six years old; Julia, four; and Ella."
