Apr 8, 1899
At present George Sanders is in the roll of Rip Van Winkle. He is out in the world with only his dog and gun. He may awake some day as did Rip, and go looking for Gretchen.
Good timing, on the same page - his wife sold some of his stuff...
On Monday last Geo. Kline purchased of Mrs. Geo. Sanders a horse harness and wagon, Mr. Kline contemplates a journey to the kingdom of Huerfano, very soon.
Kingdom of Huerfano? Lol!
More on the separation:
Last Monday, because of a misunderstanding the evening previous, Mr. and Mrs. George Sanders of this place, came to an understanding which led them to agree to disagree. A dissolution of connubial partnership was the result. Mrs. Sanders was given possession of all the joint belongings, and George satisfied himself whis his dog and gun, and he and his property are now at Devil's Hole.
George also posted a notice in the paper!!
A mutual separation having taken place on April 3rd, 1899 between myself and wife and a division of property made, I hereby notify all whom it may concern, that on and after date above mentioned, I will not be responsible for any debt contracted by others than myself.
GEORGE SANDERS
Westcliffe, Colo., April 3rd, 1899
It's a busy news day for the Sanders family - yes all of this in 1 day's paper.
Last Monday at noon, Edward Chetelat and Miss Sarah Sanders, both of Westcliffe, were married at the Catholic church, Fr. R. Servant officiating. Quite a number of friends from Canon City and the county witnessed the ceremony. Presents were showered upon the young couple most generously. They have the TRIBUNE'S best wishes.
P.S. They messed up - *Susan* married Edward Chetelat, not Sarah. Sarah married Edward Ozburn 2 months later.
Just a follow up - George and his wife Cinderella never divorced. At some point they made up, they are listed together on the 1900 census the next year, although all the children are not listed with them, and only 2 were married at this point. George died in 1904, leaving a wife, 6 girls and 2 boys.
