Dubray Family Ownership, 1943-1946; Bennet Family & Cherry Ownership, 1946-1947 In 1943, Ferno Dubray, Jr. and Marguerite Enrici Dubray were granted a Treasurers Deed from Boulder County for the current lots of 1/2 Lot 24, Lot 25, and % lot 26 in Block 3 that make up the property at 516 Grant. That same year, the Dubray's also acquired Lots 22 & 23 from Herman Steinbaugh. Lots 22 & 23 already had a house on the property which had been built in 1903 and was at that time, confusingly addressed as 516 Grant. There was not a building on lots 24, 25, & 26 the current location of 516 Grant. Between 1943-1946, it is assumed that the Dubray property encompassed Lots 22-26 and the house located on lots 22-23 was identified as 516 Grant. Ferno Dubray, Jr. was born in 1912 in Kansas. His parents were from Belgium. In 1936, he married Marguerite Enrici, who was of Italian heritage. She was born in 1918 in Kansas. During the time that the Dubray's lived on Grant, Ferno ran the K&D Garage on Front Street with Steve Krempley. The Dubray's had four children who attended Louisville schools until the family moved to Utah in 1948. Ferno passed away in 1977, and Marguerite in 1979. It is difficult to determine when the house on Lots 24-26 was built, but the evidence can place it as sometime between 1944-1946. In 1946, the Dubray's registered two warranty deeds transferring ownership to Fred and Tina Bennett in February and another warranty deed in October for joint tenancy to Charles A Cherry and Emma Cherry. It is likely that Fred and Tina Bennett built the house on Lots 24- 26 and sold or rented it to the Cherry's. A Louisville Times advertisement placed by Fred Bennett in October 1946 is the first evidence identifying the house as 508 Grant which is presumed to be the original address for the current 516 Grant. At the time, Fred and Tina Bennett are listed in the Boulder County directory as living at 526 Grant which would be directly north of 508 Grant. FOR SALE; 2 houses on 2 lots, $8"' or will sell 1 or both howsea i� be moved; 2 coal ranges, living rtoni and dining roam sets. Fred Bennett, 508 Grant, Phone 12S-W. FOR SA r.F.. s r,,., Not much is known about Charles and Emma Cherry. An obituary for Charles is published in the Louisville Times in 1947, and it is assumed that Emma sold the house after Charles' death. She is later listed as living in Denver. Elizabeth Sabo Jarrett/ Jarrett Family Ownership, 1947-1958 Emma Cherry sold the house at 508 Grant to Elizabeth (Betty) Sabo in 1947. Elizabeth J. Sabo (1918- 2008) was the daughter of Anton and Julia Sabo who immigrated to the U.S. in 1901-1902. Elizabeth "Betty" was born in Wyoming in 1918 and around 1930, the family moved to Colorado, and to a house on LaFarge in Louisville in 1932. Anton worked as a coal miner. In 1948, Betty married Isaac "Ike" Jarrett. Isaac Jarrett (1909-1998) was born in Illinois to John and Laura Jarrett who were farmers in Indiana.
