context_page_description: Walter Cheesman was an American businessman who was involved in railroad, finance, real estate, and water industries. After beginning his career in New York and Chicago, he lived in Denver, where Cheesman Dam, Cheesman Reservoir, and Cheesman Park are named for him.
context_section_description: He was president for years of the Colorado Humane Society, with the goal to end cruelty to children and animals. He was known to come to the aid of animals or children in need, even venturing out in bad weather after he had become a multi-millionaire to rescue and provide shelter to a horse that was staked out in an open field. Cheesman also supported the Juvenile Improvement Society, founded by Judge Ben Lindsey.
  He lived in the Walter Dunning mansion at 1200 Pennsylvania Street in Denver for a short period of time before his death in 1907. The Cheesman Memorial was erected in his memory in Cheesman Park by his wife and daughter.
