"Dec 22, 1921: Fort Collins Courier, Larimer Co., Colorado: Chemistry Building at College Destroyed by Fire Early this Morning; Origin Unknown. Fire that broke out shortly after 2 o'clock gutted the old Chemistry building on the [Colorado Agricultural] college campus Thursday morning, leaving it a mash of smoldering ruinsā¦.Chemicals stored in the building caught fire and burned with celerity; combustibles cracked and popped, the brilliant scene holding the attention of more than 100 spectators who gathered within a few minutes. Flames of every color were discernibleā¦. Uncle I.N. Chatfield, who has been caretaker of the Chemistry building at the college since it was built 23 years ago, is mourning the burning of the building and the loss of all the valuable things contained therein, like unto a father mourning for his firstborn. In the basement where many cans of samples of different things, all number, so that the professors could say, "Uncle, get a sample of number so and so," and Uncle Chatfield could locate the required sample from his orderly rows and cans without a moment's hesitation. Valuable papers and priceless data, the result of years of research were also burned." ===== United States Census, 1900 Name Isaac N Chatfield Event Place Precinct 8-12 Fort Collins, Timnsth Fort Collins city Ward 1-4, Larimer, Colorado Gender Male Age 50 Marital Status Married Race White Relationship to Head of Household Head Years Married 23 Birth Date Jul 1850 Birthplace Ohio Marriage Year (Estimated) 1877 Father's Birthplace Connecticut Mother's Birthplace Connecticut Isaac N Chatfield Head M 50 Ohio Lizzie A Chatfield Wife F 50 Pennsylvania Eunice P Chatfield Dau F 23 Illinois Leslie M Chatfield Son M 18 Illinois Laura A Chatfield Dau F 16 Illinois ----- United States Census, 1910 Name Isaac N Chatfield Event Place Fort Collins Ward 3, Larimer, Colorado Gender Male Age 61 Marital Status Married Race White Relationship to Head of Household Head Birth Year (Estimated) 1849 Birthplace Ohio Father's Birthplace Connecticut Mother's Birthplace Connecticut Sheet Letter B Sheet Number 2 Isaac N Chatfield Head M 61 Ohio Lizzie A Chatfield Wife F 63 Pennsylvania Eunice P Chatfield Dau F 30 Illinois Laura A Chatfield Dau F 25 Illinois ----- United States Census, 1920 Name Isic N Chatfield Event Place Fort Collins Ward 3, Larimer, Colorado Gender Male Age 70 Marital Status Widowed Race White Can Read Yes Can Write Yes Relationship to Head of Household Head Own or Rent Own Birth Year (Estimated) 1850 Birthplace Ohio Father's Birthplace Connecticut Mother's Birthplace Massachusetts Sheet Letter B Sheet Number 7 Isic N Chatfield Head M 70 Ohio Laura E Graves Dau F 35 Illinois Leonard Graves Grandson M 4 Idaho
