Research Notes
In the Red Cliff Schoolhouse Photo, there are two girls named only as "Lyons." The family was not found in the 1900 Census in Red Cliff, but rather nearby in Chaffee county. Their names were determined by finding them listed among the other children in the photo in school reports in the newspapers.[1]
