Resource Number: 5BL 7986 Temporary Resource Number: 157508414011 Next, Mary Henry was the owner and resident of 809 La Farge. Census records indicate that Mary was Slovak and her husband, Jake, was Italian (despite the American sounding name). Jake Henry was a coal miner. She is listed as residing at this location in both the 1904 and 1916 directories, which are two Louisville directories that give the locations of residents' homes. Martha Eberharter owned 809 La Farge from 1919 to 1942. She was the prominent Louisville resident who lived at 801 La Farge and operated a store next door at 805 La Farge. (More biographical information can be found for her under the reports for those addresses.) During the period of her ownership of 809 La Farge, it could not be determined whether 809 La Farge was rented or was another residence for one or more members of the extended Eberharter family, or perhaps was a combination of the two. Between 1942 and 1944, the property had the following owners: John Mudrock, Voltaire and Noella Criquelion, and Harley and Juliana Neideffer. According to the online Boulder County property records, 809 La Farge was purchased by Charles Coet in 1944 and this became the residence of the Charles and Mildred Coet family for several decades, until it passed out of the family fifty-three years later in 1997. The Coet family, which was from France, came to Louisville from Illinois. Charles Coet lived 1907 to 1969 and was a veteran of World War II. This property, besides being known as 809 La Farge, was also known by the address of 312 La Farge under Louisville's old address system.
