Jacob Williams was a prominent Louisville <br />resident who was a mine superintendent for Northern Colorado and Coke and the Rocky Mountain Fuel <br />Company. He is associated with numerous mines in Boulder and Weld Counties and also dealt in local real <br />estate. From 1898-1999, Williams served as Mayor of Louisville, likely while living at 1140 Main. Jacob Williams <br />was Superintendent at the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company from 1914 until his retirement in 1927. Jane Robbins <br />Williams was a member of the Methodist Church and the Saturday Study Club. She remained active in both, as <br />well as numerous other women's clubs and organizations in Louisville, even after Jacob Williams died in 1929 <br />and she moved to Boulder. Jane Williams owned other property in Louisville, including 800 Main, which housed <br />The Hub store that would later be run by the Webster family. Under earlier address systems, 1140 Main was <br />also known as 655 Second Street and 655 Main. <br />M.J. And Mary E. Morgan Ownership, 1922-1930 <br />By a deed recorded in 1922, Jacob Williams sold 1140 Main to W.J. Morgan and Mary E. Morgan (1898-1953). <br />William J. Morgan (b.1895) was born in England and immigrated to the US in 1912. Mary E. Novak Morgan was <br />born in Colorado to parents from Astria/Bohemia. Both the Morgan and Novak families lived primarily in <br />Lafayette. In 1919, William worked at the Simpson Mine in Lafayette. A move to the Vulcan mine in 1920 <br />brought William and Mary to Louisville where William later became a clerk at the Acme Mine. While the <br />Morgans were living at 1140 Main, William Morgan became a naturalized citizen in 1923. Mary Morgan was <br />also noted in a 1924 issue of the Lafayette Leader as running a cottage industry as a hairdresser. <br />1140 MAIN PAGE - 6 <br />
