Albert S. HEWITT

                   OBITUARY NOTICE FOR HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW

Tommie Brett's letter in notes under wife, Zelpha I. Martin....
part of letter:  I checked the 1910 Census and found a Zelpha Hewitt and  husband Albert Hewitt married 9 years and one daughter Mildred Hewitt age 16.   Albert had been married before and Mildred was his daughter.  The 1920
Census had Zelpha Hewitt  Hotel Proprieter, son Whitney age 29 widowed and  daughter Mildred single.  They lived in Cascade CO.  So now I have found her  and I have no ideas how she fits into our family. 
One of the postcards memtions Clifford Beebe died in Cascade CO.  This was  the brother of Lena but doen't explain Zelpha. Another postcard showed a  picture of a rather substantial frame house and Zelpha had written
"This is  my house as it looks now in 1922" 
Last Memorial day week end Ken and I were meeting friends in the Cascade -  Colorado Springs area and had an extra couple of hours and went to Cascade to  see if there was a cemetery and maybe, if so, I could find Cliffords
grave and more clues. Well, we went into one of the tourist shops and I asked about a cemetery.   None there.  People were buried in Colrado Springs or other larger places.  I  was informed that there was a small book published on the history of Cascade  and found the $5.00 book in another shop and in this book was a picture of  the Easthorne Hotel'  we drove past the house and it is now a B & B and I  went in and asked if a Zelpha Hewitt ever lived in the house.  The present  owner said yes from 1913 to 1945 and in the parlor was large very large blow  up of a picture of Zelpha and her son Whitney.  I have a postcard of the same  woman with her step daughter Mildred.  Mildred was probably under 10.

"A.S. Hewitt dies from Injuries"
"A.S. Hewitt, 54, proprietor of the East Home (Eastholm) Hotel at Cascade and for 12 years a resident of that place, died at 9:30 o'clock last night at a local hospital from injuries received in an automobile accident Monday night.  Funeral arragements will be made later.
       The accident occurred when the automobile which Mr. Hewtt was driving turned over a short distance east of Cascade.  He was pinned beneath the car, but was rescued by passing motorists.  A boy who had been riding the running board jumped when the machine toppled and was unhurt.
        Mr. Hewitt is survived by his wife, Mrs. Zelpha Hewitt and a daughter, residing at Cascade, and three sons.
       An inquest probably will not be held."
