His 1st wife/he had a stillborn daughter before they were to leave Denmark with his brother Christen. I know not what happened to his 1st wife, Else. She never made it to C.B. Later, Peder wed [Signe]Sena, that he prob. met at the Danish Hall in C.B. She was 19 and he was 38. The story has it that Sena took their 1st child, also [Signe] Sena, and left town. I never fd any clues of either of them. In 1888, Peder bot the lot that later became known as 420-19th Avenue, next to the CB&Q RR tracks where he worked as a car washer. Upon said lot, he hand-built a 2 room house. This is where grandma lived out her entire life. As time/husbands were added so were a bathroom, another bedroom, a back porch (later closed in), a hand dug basement and a kitchen with a water pump at the sink, and a front porch. Her 1st husbad was Richard Abial Heflin. They had a daughter, Mary Ellen HEFLIN, named after his mother. In 1908, Donald C. Heflin, was born. When Grandpa Dick moved to Denver where his RR job transfered him, they divorced. She was not going to leave her father. She, next, wed Edward Alexander Spellmeyer and had the one son, Robert Sidney Spellmeyer, in 1919. That union ended in divorce and in 1934, Grandma Spellmeyer wed Julius Jennings Miller. They had no children. They remained together until she d. during the night after a surgery that was to remove a large gallstone.
