Looking for information about George Keach, married Elizabeth Thorpe about 1891 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He owned the Intermountain saloon and had worked for various bottling companies in Salt Lake City. He left his wife and two children, Eckley Martin and Alta Cora, in Salt Lake about 1896 to go to Colorado to find gold. He sent for her but had disappeared by the time she went to find him in Cripple Creek, Colorado. He was presumed dead. She later remarried James Martin Stull, an attorney in Salt Lake City.
Family lore says he was born in Dublin, Ireland, but his children's listings in the census say their father was born in Indiana or possibly Pennsylvania.
Would appreciate any info.
Thanks,
Tiffany Shapiro
