Funeral procession ~ (photo from www.photoswest.org) A long funeral procession led by a band walks down Main Street in Central City, Colorado, probably during the 1890s, possibly for Sheriff R. B. Williams who was fatally shot by Samuel Covington, a quartz hauler from Nevadaville, in April of 1896. (Williams’ funeral was one of the largest ever recorded in Gilpin County.) Two long rows of men wearing sashes across their chests walk side-by-side down the dirt road. A series of horse-drawn carriages follows behind the men.Central City History:Central City is located in the Rocky Mountains, 35 miles west of Denver. It is at the southern end of Gilpin County at an elevation of 8, 496 feet.In 1859, John Gregory discovered ’The Gregory Lode’ in a gulch near Central City. Within two weeks, the gold rush was on and within two months the population grew to 10,000 people seeking their fortunes.William Byers, founder of the Rocky Mountain News, and some companions pitched their tents on open ground squarely in the center of the mining district. Thus Central City was born and was soon the leading mining center in Colorado. It came to be known as ’The Richest Square Mile On Earth’. Gregory’s discovery is commemorated by a stone monument at the eastern end of the city.In 1874 most of the buildings in Central City were destroyed by fire. The town was rebuilt, this time of brick and stone; most of these stand today.www.centralcitycolorado.com``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````***VALENTINE’S DAY 2010 GHOSTLY EVENT! ***STAR-CROSSED LOVERS OF GILPIN COUNTY!Sunday, February 14th, 2010 1:30pmHosted by Psychic Dori Spence of SPOOKS!Above heart image from: www.personalisedgreetingcards.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/small-heart-valentine-card-135x135mm1.jpg......Spend some time getting to know about the history of Gilpin County’s Kindred Spirits!Some Gone, but not Forgotten.

Guests will also enjoy ’Lagniappe’ (lan-yap), the Cajun French tradition of the host providing ’a little extra’ to the customer.Central City bed and breakfast owners James and Shirley Voorhies, don’t know what to think of their ghosts.The couple bought a 120-year-old home in Central City and opened it as the Chateau L’Acadienne bed-and-breakfast. Less than a month later, a guest greeted them at the breakfast table with the pronouncement, ’You have a ghost.’Since then, several other guests have reported that their jewelry or keys had been moved from one side of the room to another during the night.When a former owner of the house stopped by to see the house, Shirley heard the story of ’Gwendolyn,’ which the couple now believes to be their resident spirit.’She’s a very playful ghost, I know that,’ Voorhies said. ’We’ve found keys on the bed, on the floor. We haven’t seen her yet, but some people who have say she’s a young woman dressed in elegant 1890s attire and often seen playing with a string of beads.’Source: Denver Post- March 26, 1996 Section: Living Page: E-01 Michelle Mahoney Denver Post Staff Writer````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` The Child Ghost of Missouri FlatsMissouri Flats CemeteryAccording to Jeff Casey, several county sheriffs have reported seeing a small child in the area of the new C and D parking lots south of Central City.

At sunset, she appeared as always. Two men tried to grab her, but she flew off and vanished on a hill not far from the cemetery.If creepy is, indeed, what you clamor for, mark your calendar for Nov. 1 and head on up to Central City, where, like clockwork, the Lady in Black - believed to be a jilted lover or surviving fiancee of John Edward Cameron, who died at age 28 - visits her lover’s grave site, adorning it with flowers.

All rights reserved, please.Teller House interior - 1872 ~ (photo from www.photoswest.org)TELLER HOUSEEureka St.National Register 1/18/1973, 5GL.9The Teller House was built by brothers Henry M. and Willard Teller during 1871-72. The four-story brick building was reported to be the largest and most elaborately furnished hotel located outside of Denver. It served as the gathering place for local society and visiting elite, including U.S. President Grant who visited in 1873. Double hung windows are found on the three floors that contained sleeping rooms. Windows and doors on the first floor are set in round arches and include transoms. Portions of the building now house a museum, and the first floor bar with its well known ’Face on the Barroom Floor’ remains an attraction.www.coloradohistory-oahp.org/programareas/register/1503/cty/gl.htmThe Teller House houses the famous and mysterious ’Face on the Barroom Floor’ painting, done by Herndon Davis in 1934. This lovely painting is carefully maintained today.Legend has it that the woman’s likeness was painted by a distraught miner when his wife died of consumption. As the story goes, the miner drank himself into a stupor and then proceeded to paint his wife’s portrait on the floor. Speaking tenderly of her, he painted long into the night and on to past noon. Once the artist was finished, he slept, never to wake again. Buried next to his beloved wife, witnesses say that on the anniversary of his death, the couple can be heard talking tenderly to each other through her portrait on the floor.At the Teller House, some people have reported seeing the ghost of a blond woman who is believed to be the wife of a man who beat her in the late 1890s after seeing her talking to another man.Dolores Spellman, a Teller House tour guide, says she doesn’t believe in ghosts herself, but ’friendly spirits’ are another story.```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````The Teller House is now..........

At sunset, she appeared as always. Two men tried to grab her, but she flew off and vanished on a hill not far from the cemetery.If creepy is, indeed, what you clamor for, mark your calendar for Nov. 1 and head on up to Central City, where, like clockwork, the Lady in Black - believed to be a jilted lover or surviving fiancee of John Edward Cameron, who died at age 28 - visits her lover’s grave site, adorning it with flowers. Or for an encore, stop by April 5, when she performs the ritual again.SOURCES: www.rootsweb.com&(Rocky Mountain News- Sat.

All rights reserved, please.Teller House interior - 1872 ~ (photo from www.photoswest.org)TELLER HOUSEEureka St.National Register 1/18/1973, 5GL.9The Teller House was built by brothers Henry M. and Willard Teller during 1871-72. The four-story brick building was reported to be the largest and most elaborately furnished hotel located outside of Denver. It served as the gathering place for local society and visiting elite, including U.S. President Grant who visited in 1873. Double hung windows are found on the three floors that contained sleeping rooms. Windows and doors on the first floor are set in round arches and include transoms. Portions of the building now house a museum, and the first floor bar with its well known ’Face on the Barroom Floor’ remains an attraction.www.coloradohistory-oahp.org/programareas/register/1503/cty/gl.htmThe Teller House houses the famous and mysterious ’Face on the Barroom Floor’ painting, done by Herndon Davis in 1934. This lovely painting is carefully maintained today.Legend has it that the woman’s likeness was painted by a distraught miner when his wife died of consumption. As the story goes, the miner drank himself into a stupor and then proceeded to paint his wife’s portrait on the floor. Speaking tenderly of her, he painted long into the night and on to past noon. Once the artist was finished, he slept, never to wake again. Buried next to his beloved wife, witnesses say that on the anniversary of his death, the couple can be heard talking tenderly to each other through her portrait on the floor.At the Teller House, some people have reported seeing the ghost of a blond woman who is believed to be the wife of a man who beat her in the late 1890s after seeing her talking to another man.Dolores Spellman, a Teller House tour guide, says she doesn’t believe in ghosts herself, but ’friendly spirits’ are another story.```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````The Teller House is now..........
