Adams County in 1902

The Adams page is titled The COGenWeb Project - Adams County. Its opening line says the county is open for adoption and to contact Colleen. The history that follows uses 1902, January 1904, November 8, 1904, and 1906. The county table gives Adams the created-year 1903 and the coordinator Denise Wells. This note quotes the Adams page, and it does not overwrite the table.

1902, and the name Alva Adams

In 1902, voters approved creation of Adams County, which until then had been part of an enormous Arapahoe County. The county was named after Alva Adams, a popular former governor who was in office at the time of this election. The page says in office at the time of this election. It does not print a term of years for him.

The table's created-year for the same county name is 1903. The parent in the table is Arapahoe, which agrees with the narrative's enormous Arapahoe County in the role of parent, and disagrees in the year. 1902 is the narrative. 1903 is the table. Both stay.

The seat in the table is Brighton. The narrative also centres on Brighton. The narrative adds streets and a fire. The table adds Denise Wells. The list note keeps her mailto with the table.

Alva Adams is the namesake in the narrative. Denise Wells is the coordinator cell in the table. Colleen is the name in the adoption line and in the temporary-coordinator paragraph. Three names, three jobs, two pages.

The fire, the election, and the courthouse

The county courthouse was temporarily housed in the residence of Daniel Carmichael, the founder of Brighton, in Brighton. After a fire destroyed these offices in January 1904, the offices were relocated to a rented house at 3rd and Bridge Street in Brighton.

In an election held November 8, 1904, Brighton was chosen as the permanent county seat. A new courthouse was built at 4th and Bridge Street in 1906. That building still stands as the eastern half of the Brighton City Hall. The page says still stands. It does not give the year of the sentence.

Daniel Carmichael in the fire paragraph has no middle initial. Later, the railroad paragraph says Daniel F. Carmichael, a Denver real estate agent, filed the first plat. The page uses both forms. The note does not collapse them.

January 1904 has a month and a year and no day. November 8, 1904 has a month, a day, and a year. 1906 has only the year. 3rd and Bridge, then 4th and Bridge, are the two street lines.

Henderson, Hughes, and 1887

The first permanent settlement was established by Colonel Jack Henderson on a large island in the South Platte River about seven miles southwest of Brighton. The page says most of those settlers had come west to strike it rich during the gold rush, and that the quotation marks are around gold rush. It says they found more money in crops and livestock for prospectors and Denver than in gold mining, and that food had previously been shipped from New Mexico or points east.

The first railroad depot was named Hughes after the first president of the railroad. The name was later changed to Brighton when Daniel F. Carmichael filed the first plat. In 1887, Brighton became the first incorporated town in the territory. The page uses the word territory for that 1887 sentence.

The front page dates statehood to August 1, 1876. The Adams page still says territory in the 1887 sentence. The formation note keeps 1876 on the front page. This note keeps territory on the Adams page.

Hughes is the depot name. Brighton is the later town name. Colonel Jack Henderson is the settlement. Daniel F. Carmichael is the plat. The page lines them up in that order.

Eighteen by seventy-two, and Colleen

The county measures 18 miles north-south and 72 miles east-west. The source line is Albin Wagner, Adams County-Crossroads of the West. The hyphen is in the title the page gives that source. The front page's 387 by 276 miles are the state. These 18 by 72 miles are the county. The page says see map and does not print the map's numbers in the sentence.

Above the history, the page says THIS COUNTY IS OPEN FOR ADOPTION. IF INTERESTED, CONTACT COLLEEN. Colleen is in capitals in that line. Lower down: My name is Colleen and I am the temporary county coordinator for Adams County, Colorado. She says she is open to questions but does not live there, and the sentence is printed I may have not be able to answer them. I will try.

Temporary county coordinator is her phrase. OPEN FOR ADOPTION is the capitalised line. Denise Wells is neither of those sentences. The adoption note sets this capitalised line next to the table's OPEN FOR ADOPTION cells.

The page invites the reader to visit Adams County pages. It does not list a hotel. The miles, the streets, the names, and the adoption line are the content.

What this page does not borrow

It does not borrow 1903. It does not borrow scnewjersey@gmail.com. It does not borrow the front page's eighth-largest sentence. It does not borrow Greg Brown from Larimer.

It does use Arapahoe as the earlier county, Brighton as the place, and 1902 as the year voters approved creation. The table uses Arapahoe as Parent, Brighton as County Seat, and 1903 as Created. Shared names, different columns.

January 1904 is the fire. November 8, 1904 is the election that made Brighton the permanent seat. 1906 is the courthouse at 4th and Bridge Street. 1887 is the incorporation sentence that says territory.

Colleen is named twice, once in capitals in the adoption line and once as the temporary coordinator who does not live there. The page does not give her an email address in those paragraphs. The contact page's ladyaudris@earthlink.net is a state-list address, not a line on this Adams history.

3rd and Bridge is the rented house. 4th and Bridge is the 1906 courthouse. The page says that building still stands as the eastern half of the Brighton City Hall. Hughes was the depot's first name.
