: Troy E. Wade; He was born in Weaubleau, Missouri. He graduated from Colorado College and got a job working at the Colorado Trading and Transfer Company, which hauled ore for the mines in the area. It also handled the ice and feed for the farmers, and delivered coal to customers. He ran a fleet of just under twenty trucks and kept books for the company. After Prohibition ended, the company began shipping beer. WWII had caused the mines in Cripple Creek to close, and Troy’s family bought a store Nucla where he dealt mining supplies to uranium miners for income. His wife, oral history interviewee Grace Hill Wade, shares that an old friend had called them up in Cripple Creek mentioning an opening at Texas Zinc for a controller and bookkeeper in Grand Junction, Colorado. Troy interviewed for the job and started work the next day. That office eventually closed and he began working for Valley Federal. They ended up buying a home on Orchard Avenue before selling, and finally settled in the Lakeside neighborhood. Troy died in September of 1979 from kidney failure. Troy served two terms on the Colorado Legislature from Teller Park in Douglas County.
