Christmas Ii over-for one year
and once more the world will settle
back into its regular everyday habits.

and has hung up'h his pack (now empty)

usually generous to Gunnison folks,
both private citizens and business men.
The local stores announce . splendid
holiday trade, while the newspapers

man, the latter the first white settler
to come into the Gunnison valley and
remain with US this half century.

which read:
December 25, 1922 Gunnison Colo.
To Our Honored Guests, Mr. and
Mrs. Alonzo Hartman.
The Rotary Club joins with you in
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary OF
your entrance and permanent residepce
IN the Gunnison Valley as the first
white settlers on the Western Slope of
Colorado.
THE Rotary Club also expresses its
appreciation for your initiative, with
that Of others, in founding the Town
Of Cunnison and for the many things
that have been done in deve,OpinR
Gunnison and the Gunnison Country.
More particularly is this club thankful
for the splendid example that yoou
have set for US and others by your
high type Of living amongst us.
1t Is our earnest hope that you may
continue in health and live happily
in our midst for many years, to see
and to enjoy the fruits Of your work.
Responding, Mr.. Hartman, spoke in
happy vein Of the piooneer days which
were recalled. The family came from
Canada, Mr.. Hartman being born in
1850. In 1867, his father, Thomas
Hartman. move from Iowa to Kansas,
but did not like it there. Every day
past their door swept the great
exodus to Colorado. "Tike's Peak or
Bust" was the magic motto on the
prairie sch0oners, Of which sometimes
100 to $50 would pass day. In
1850 the elder Hartman followed the
westward movement to present site of
Denver and to California gulch which
later became the Laadville district. He
took up placer claims there, and in the
year 1853 the fpmily LOADED their, stnif
and "came west" The wagons fol-
lowed the overland trail by way of the
Platt river. Several times they were
delayed by great herds Of buffalo and
on one occasion herd blocked the road
for half q day. The dust of the ap-
preaching animals was like q smoke
from a great fire. Seeing them as a
boy Of 13 the scenes are still vivid to
Mr.. Hartman. For some years they
worked the placer claims part Of each
year, but the family also went into the
cattle business near Denver.
Indians were bad and the Hartmans
were chased into the city several times
