John A. Thatcher Dead - Pueblo Millionaire was Pioneer of Colorado - Interested in Many Enterprises, Reputed to be Worth $25,000,000 to $40,000,000 - Pueblo - John A. Thatcher, multi-millionaire and pioneer directly interested in many Colorado financial and commercial enterprises, died at his home here. Although he had been sick for some time, his death came suddenly. He passed an easy night and was sitting up in a chair when he gasped, pressed his hand to his side and expired before he could be relieved from the unexpected attack. John A Thatcher and his brother, M.D. Thatcher, are reputed to be worth between $25,000,000 and $40,000,000. They are interested in practically the same institutions and it is difficult to separate their affairs to arrive at a conservative estimate of the dead man's estate. He owned stock in numerous banks in eastern and southern Colorado, shares in irrigation enterprises and bank buildings and much real estate throughout the state. Mr. Thatcher was seventy-seven years old and was born in Perry county, Pennsylvania, August 25, 1836. He came to Colorado fifty years ago in a prairie schooner. He soon took high rank among the energetic men of the period and all his life has been recognized as an ambitious man of great business and executive ability, as far seeing financier and a state builder of conservative beliefs.
