Death

Oct 28, 1914

Denver, Jefferson Co., CO, USA¹

Note

Stanley was very ill for 6 months before he was sent to Colorado for an additional year and a half where he was treated for Tuburculosis. He was in one of the TB sanitariums located south of Denver in and around Colorado Springs, probably in Manitou Springs.

On 18 October, his condition became acute. On 22 October, his doctor moved Stanley from Manitou Springs to St. Luke's hospital in Denver where he was admitted. Stanley died less than a week later on 28 October. He was only 29 years old when he died. Stanley was shipped home by train in care of a Sardinia, New York undertaker.

Unfortunately, Stanley left a wife, Charlotte, with two young daughters, Doris and Ruth.

This is a very sad end for a very young man. He most likely contracted TB by being exposed to someone while on one of his frequent salesman trips.

It is evident that he was well loved by the grave marker provided by his Colorado friends.

Biography

Dorretta's common names were Dolly and Dorothy.

Dorretta married Perter Houghton, circa 1805, likely in Connecticut. Peter was born 1760-1770; his birth location and parentage is unknown to this writer.

Dorretta and Peter arrived in the Cazenovia area, circa 1814. Peter first appears on the Cazenovia Village tax rolls in 1814 and last appears in 1821.

Peter is enumerated in the 1830 census of Cazenovia. In his household is a male child aged 5-10 years, a female child aged 0-5 years, and an elderly male aged 70-80 years. It is not known if the children are Dolly's.

Peter Houghton apparently died sometime before September 1849 before Dolly's marriage to Daniel Goodspeed, on 02 Sep 1849. For both parties it was their 2nd marriage.

It is not known how Dolly and Daniel's marriage ended but in the 1855 census of Cazenovia, Dolly is enumerated in the household of her brother-in-law, Oramel Shapley. Her name is 'Dolly Houghton' and she has been a local resident for 41 years.

By the time of the 1860 census of Charlotte, Chautauqua Co., New York, Dorothy is enumerated in the household of her brother-in-law, Dudley Nichols.

Dorretta died aged 85 years.
