A couple more answers but more questions in Denver…

I can’t seem to get away from looking at records from Colorado this week.  I’m still waiting for the 1940 census index for Colorado, but still trying to find more information from the area.  Today I searched for a cousin in Jennifer’s Dunn line, Roy J.

Katherine Oesch; d. 24 March 1865) and further reinforced one of the reasons I like to search from FamilySearch…
