Howdy Folks, I am NOT related to this person but is interesting info. and will
pass it along! Found in Orting, WA State local history book.......here goes.
William COLEGROVE came to Orting in about 1885.
Among the people who came from Kansas was William Colegrove, who arrived with
his family in time to see Washington Territory become a state, and Orting
incorporated town.
(Skipping down, very lengthy article, but will send to anyone who wants more!)
With friends C.L PITTS and A.M. BRYANT they started the WA Mining and Milling
Co. located between Carbonado and Fairfax......there is more if interested
