Notes - Nellie Armstrong was born in Brooksburg, Indiana November 19, 1860. Her grandfather was Captain Brooks, Captain of an Ohio steam boat, who founded the town of Brooksburg, Indiana.
She came to Colorado with two of her brothers, Charles and John Armstrong. They intended to homestead land in the San Louis Valley, but the land they wanted was under Spanish Grant and belonged to the Spaniards.
Her brothers then went West, and she got a job teaching school in the Spanish town of San Louis, Colo. She was the first English speaking teacher in that town. She learned to speak and write Spanish perfectly, and she told me that she was treated like a queen.
