Looking for information on Emma Castile, probably Otero County Colorado,
1908.
I am told she was called the Cattle Queen of Colorado, and that her brother
Emmett Cramer, and her husband did the last open range roundup in Colorado,
Castile was to take the herd to Dodge City, but was never seen or heard of
again. My mother went with her aunt, in a wagon, to Dodge City, trying to
find out what happened to him. Had Rustlers attacked him, robbed him,
killed him? Or had he absconded with the herd and the money? No one never
knew.
That my mother rode to Dodge City with Emma, means Emma was there for some
time after 1908. Mom was born in 1909, the Cramer family moved away from
there about 1918. I would suspect it would be closer to 1918 when they went
to Dodge City.
Does this connect with any folks on this list? Did you have any Castiles in
Colorado during this time period?
Thanks, Karon in Okanogan
