ziba hurd recollections
"My grandfather Ziba Hurd went hunting in Colorado in the early 1890s, and brought back two bear skins, which we used in the bobsled to keep our legs warm. In that period he was employed by Wells Fargo." - James Mason (1977)
"Between 1902 and 1911 on the farm, when we rode on the sleigh or bobsled we had a brown bear skin and a black bear skin, which Grandpa Ziba Hurd shot in Colorado. He may have been a guest of Daniel Hurd when he went hunting in Colorado." - Ziba's granddaughter Florence Roberts
"In 1906 or 1907, Grandpa visited his son Norman Hurd in San Francisco." - Florence Roberts
"Ziba and Elizabeth Hurd as young married folk were present at the Wigwam when Abe Lincoln was nominated in Chicago." - James Mason (1977)
