<br />Joseph and Anna Zurick were both born in 1862. Their children included Mary, born 1888; Flory (Florian), born 1892,
<br />Katy, born 1897, and Pauline, born 1899. According to information on the 1900 federal census, the Zurick family is
<br />living in the correct location for it to be this house at 745 La Farge.
<br />In 1902, Joseph Zurick died in a coal mining accident at the Rex Mine No. 2 in Louisville, due to a "fall of coal." His
<br />nationality was given as "Slavonian." The 1904 Louisville directory shows Anna Zurick to be living at the corner of La
<br />Farge and Spruce, which is this location. The 1910 federal census shows Joseph's widow, Anna, living at this
<br />location. (She could not be located under the name Anna Zurick in the 1920 or 1930 census, however.) In 1916,
<br />Mrs. Anna "Zurich" as well as her daughter, "Paula," are living in this location, which has the address of 244 La
<br />Farge. In 1918, it appears that Anna's married daughter, Catherine Zurick Duyacoff, is living in this location at 244 La
<br />Farge with her husband, based on the 1918 directory listing a Duyacoff living there. It is believed that the house was
<br />rented out, or used for relatives with names different from Zurick, in the 1920s and 1930s.
<br />Anna Zurick died in 1939. She and Joseph Zurick are buried in Sacred Heart of Mary Cemetery. Property records
<br />show that Anna and Joseph Zurick's heirs came into ownership of 745 La Farge in 1939. In 1941, their daughters
<br />(Mary Zurick Balich, Catherine Duyacoff, and Pauline Moore) conveyed the property to Fred and Margaret Stones.
<br />The Stones family came from Utah to Louisville in the 1930s. The family had consisted of father, Lawrence; wife,
<br />Emily; and four sons, Fred, Emmett, Lawrence Jr., and Melvin. By 1930, the father had died. In the late 1930s, son
<br />Fred Stones moved to Boulder County. Evidence shows that his mother and three brothers also all ended up in this
<br />area. It appears that Fred Stones was living at this location in 1945, when his address in the Louisville directory is
<br />given as La Farge (with no address number). Living with him was "Marjorie" Stones, which may have referred to his
<br />wife, Margaret. In 1947, Fred and Margaret Stones conveyed the property to his widowed mother, Emily Stones.
<br />Emily then lived at 745 La Farge for approximately 20 years. She is listed in directories as living at this location
<br />throughout the 1950s and early to mid 1960s.
<br />In 1968, Emily Stones conveyed 745 La Farge to Fred and Margie Stones (Fred being her son and Margie
<br />presumably being Fred's daughter and Emily's granddaughter). Fred Stones conveyed his interest in the property in
<br />1978 to Keith Edward Hinkle, who is believed to have been a member of the Stones family, Hinkle being daughter
<br />Margie Stones' married name. Hinkle sold the property in 1983 to Richard Barron.
<br />A date of death for Emily Stones could not be found. Margaret Stones died in 1977, Fred Stones in 2001, and Margie
<br />Stones Hinkle in 1992.
