Both Cripple Creek, Teller County, Colorado, and Cherry Creek, Arapaho County,
Colorado, are listed as places of birth for Elliott. However, Cherry Creek
appears to be most accurate, particularly since Cripple Creek was not founded
until 1891.
No marriage record is recorded in Rio Blanco County or in the Meeker Herald for
the marriage of Elliott and Orah Francis Carter. However, they married
between 1893-1896. They had four children who attended the Petrolite School in
Rio Blanco County, located south of Meeker.
The Meeker Herald, dated 10 Jan 1907, lists that "E.W. Hornbek and Frank Clark
departed yesterday for Lily Park with two large freight outfits loaded with
oats for the Clark survey horses." The Herald further lists that on 15 Feb
1907, "E.W. Hornbek and George Bloomfield have gone to Ely, Nevada. Ely is the
latest and most promising El Dorado." On 4 May 1907, the Herald lists "Mrs.
Elliott W. Hornbek was a passenger on the outgoing stage Tuesday bound for
Ely, Nevada, where Mr. Hornbek is now located. If Mrs. Hornbek likes it out
there the family will move to the great Nevada Cooper Camp during the summer."
25 May 1907, "Mrs. Elliott W. Hornbek is home again after a visit to Salt Lake
City where she met Mr. Hornbek."
