Colorado Republican:
February 9, 1905: Chamber of Commerce. Fifteen new names were added to
the membership roll of the Chamber of Commerce last Saturday night. Verily the
worls do move as was evidenced by the turnout at the meeting, there being in
the council room at one time thirty-five members.
The
advertising committee was on hand with proofs of the half tones received last
week and was instructed to send the plates to Pueblo for the purpose of getting
a sample of the work as turned out by a concern there. Attractive folders are
being prepared, which, when completed, will be given out to those who are in
communication with parties in the east, and who will put them where they will
to the most good.
Several
important committees were appointed by President MacLennan, wmong which was
committrr upon Reservoirs and Irrigation, committee upon Agriculture, Railroad
Rates to Buena Vista, and two or three committees to confer with the heads of
the railroda, with a view of making some radical changes, which, if connsumated,
will change the local geography greatly.
The names
of the members of the Chamber of Commerce will be printed in both local papers
each week “so the people may know” who is boosting for better times.
The
membership fee is one dollar, and the dues fifty cents per month. The
maintenance of the organization must be from this source. We need york dollar
and we need your influence. Get into line and see that your name goes to the
head of the column next week. Then go home and get your neighbor to come in at
the next meeting.
The regular
meeting nights of the Chamber of Commerce is the second and fourth Saturday
night of each month, at the council rooms.
Below is a
list of the members of the Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce, the names appearing
in bold face type each week being the new members who have joined the chamber
since last meeting. Watch this list and you will know who the real boosters of
the vicinity are.

Colorado Republican:
August 17, 1905: Rachel Dodge left Sunday for a day with friends in Twin Lakes.
Colorado Republican:
August 23, 1906: At the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. N.T. Dodge, west of
Buena Vista, Miss Rachel Elizabeth Dodge was united in marriage at noon,
Monday, August 20, 1906, to James Newitt; the ceremony was performed by Judge
Newitt. Only the immediate relatives were present to witness the ceremony. The
couple will make Buena Vista their home for the present. The contracting
parties are both well and favorable known in Buena Vista, and they have a large
circle of friends who wish them a safe journey in their little craft,
matrimony, as it sails out o’er the bounding billows of wedded bliss.
Colorado Republican: December
13, 1906: At high noon on Monday Dec. 10th, Mr. William J. Morgan and Clara
Dodge were united in matrimony by Judge Newitt. The ceremony was performed at
the home of the brides’ parents two miles west of town, Mrs. James Newitt, a
sister of the bride, acting as bridesmaid while Dr. A.A. MacLennan of this town
assisted the groom. The bride was beautifully attired in white, while the groom
wore the conventional black. Only a few close friends of the contracting
parties were present. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N.T. Dodge and
is a Chaffee County girl, having spent most of her life in this county and is
well and favorable known. “Jack” Morgan is also known here having been in, and
about Buena Vista for years past. He has a host of friends and is recognized as
a genuine hustler and an industrious young man. The bride was the recipient of
many useful and beautiful presents from her friends. We anticipate a happy and
prosperous life for the newly married couple, and the Republican joins
with many other friends, in the wish that their ship of fate may glide gently
and smoothly down the stream of time.
Colorado Republican:
