William C. Lemaster family - Larimer & Teller Cos. Colorado

William Clifford LEMASTER and family appear in the 1910 census of Ft. Collins, Larimer Co., CO. William was my paternal great-granduncle, the son of Luman Walker and Mary Keziah (CHEW) LEMASTERS.

William's occupation was that of a bank cashier. He had been married for 17 years, and was born in Ohio. His wife, Lella, was listed as age 38, born in Indiana, and the mother of four children, all of whom were living in the 1910 census. The children were all attending school, except for young William C. Junior, who was only five years old.

By the 1920 census, William and Lella were divorced, and William was living with son Ralph as a lodger in the household of Francis P. HALL in Victor, Teller Co., CO. William's occupation at that time was a proprietor of a theatre, and Ralph was working as an express driver.
