Need census records for DUQUETTE in Teller & El Paso co's

Surnames: Duquette, Able
based on the info in the following obit, I'm hoping someone can find 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census records for the DUQUETTE mentioned-

Colorado Spring Gazette, Jan. 1, 1915
Deaths and funerals
"Lee Roy DUQUETTE, 36 years old, died yesterday at the home of his brother W. H. Duquette at Glen Eyrie. Paralysis was the cause of death. He is survived by his mother who is superintendant of the Iowa State School for the Deaf and Dumb at Council Bluffs, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Able of Lincoln, Neb. The funeral will be held this morning at 10 o'clock from the Gairley's chapel, Rev. George Stunts of Colorado City officiating. Interest in Evergreen will be by auto.

Thanks sincerely for any info

I did not find any Duquette's in Colorado in 1900, at least none that matched this pair of brothers. In 1910 there is a William Duquette, wife Helma, daughter Phenchion (age 6) living in Pueblo Co. CO. Helma appears to be William's second wife. Helma was born in Sweden, Phenchion in Colorado. William was 38, Helma 29, and they had been married 8 years. Lee Roy does not appear to be living anywhere in the area, unless he was written up as LeRoy and it didn't come up in the search returns. William was born in MI.

In 1920 this family is in El Paso Co., Precinct 58. The daughter's name is now spelled "Fanchon," and another daughter, Bernice, age 8, has been added to the family.

In 1930 I can find Hilma living in San Bernadino, CA with daughter Bernice, who has married a Roger C. Bale. Bernice is 19, was married at age 17, and has a 4 month old son named Buford. Hilma is a widow.

Going to the USGenWeb page for El Paso County, I find Duquette's buried in the Evergreen Cemetery:

John M., buried 2 March 1922
Lee Roy, buried 1 Jan 1915
William H., buried 17 Aug 1934

Was Hilma really a widow in 1930 and this was a mis-transcription, or was she really separated/divorced?

The URL for El Paso Co. USGenWeb page is

Their burial records are on findagrave.com as well. John Duquette was born in 1841, according to their records. No birthdate for Lee Roy, and William was born in 1873 in Michigan.

Hope this helps. I didn't look for John Duquette, and as it's now midnight and past my bedtime, I will have to check for him tomorrow.

Also, locate the El Paso County Message Board if you haven't already done so, and ask if there's anyone who can look up obituaries for you. Several years ago I did this for my own Colorado Springs family and a kind lady found obituaries for me.
