and remember where we came from; these are the "Roots" that have
nourished our blossoming trees, allowing us to grow. It is dedicated to
all who have paved the roads for us, and the world we live in.

1902 - A smaller stock yard was built near the point where the present 4th Street dead ends south of the main line. Both stock yards were well-used by local ranchers, and after the factory was opened in 1900, beet pulp was being fed to local livestock, causing an increase in the stock business. Sam Kitch was the main shipper in 1956. Both yards were removed during the 1960's. (History of Rocky Ford, Colorado)
This page was made possible through the help of many
people.
First, and foremost, I want to thank my ancestors, without whom I wouldn't be
here, and without whom I wouldn't be the same person I am. Second, all of the
people on the Kitch-L list who
have helped and given encouragement, but especially for the major contributions
by Linda (Antram) Smith and Tom Kitch; these two furnished both inspiration and
names and dates, as well as a sounding board for my ideas. In addition I
have had help and support from H. Vernon of California, the Pattersons of Iowa, C.
Farnham of California, and too many others to name here. It is
appreciated, and as long as we keep living, our genealogy will continue growing.
