There was no obit for George Whitten in Nov, 1896, Boulder paper. There was however a notice that a George Whitten applied for a marriage license. This notice was dated 6 Nov. 1896, Boulder paper.
Good Hunting,
Frank

Looked for obit 1897/1898 for George Whitten. No luck there.
Odd thing Though? The newspapers notice for the marriage license states George Whitten married L.W. Myer from Franklin, NY. The Colorado marriage index has George marrying a Mrs. Effie Thayer, 5 Nov. 1896, Boulder.
Found no Effie that married any Thayer, or any L Myer that married any Thayer.
Another puzzle that might never be solved or another family story to tell.
Good Hunting,
Frank

The marker for George Whitten is southeast of E69. Is the marker in the wrong place? George had been feeble a long time. He was lately in business on 13th Street. Funeral 12 July at undertaker Sullivan's. Mrs. Effie Whitten married 18 May 1899 Willard Brandon at his home 1613 18th St. by Rev. M.D. Hornbeck. (BDC 19 May 1899:1; MR) Willard and Effie not on the 1900 Boulder County, CO census.(Mar 2005 update)
The above is a bio that the cemetery has on history.George was the proprietor of the New York Bazaar on 13th Street.
Hope this helps,
