: Sara Kruh; She was born in Leadville, Colorado to an Austrian immigrant father and an immigrant mother (US Census records show her mother born alternately in Romania and Germany) and came to Mesa County when she was two years old, in 1892. Her father, John Kruh, was a jeweler. The family lived on a 160 acre farm on Georgia Mesa, near Collbran, until just after World War I. Along with other children, she was schooled in local homes until the Georgia Mesa School was built in the late 1870's. Upon finishing the 8th grade, she then moved to Grand Junction to attend Grand Junction High School, where she worked for room and board. There are two records for Sara Kruh in the 1910 US Census, with one that shows her living in Grand Junction and working as a live-in servant at the age of 19, and another that shows her living with her mother and siblings in Collbran. She graduated from high school in 1912 and became a teacher in the Molina School, a two-room schoolhouse in the town of Molina. She then went to college and returned to the area, teaching this time in Collbran, where she taught for four years until she went back to college and finished her Bachelor's Degree. She taught for a bit on the Eastern Slope, and then taught in Grand Junction until her retirement in 1962. She taught for a total of 47 years. She was a charter member of the Mesa County Teachers Federal Credit Union in the 1930's. She was a member of the Collbran Literary Society.
