The Fogel family, which had a long-lasting presence in Leadville, arrived in the early 1890s. Reuben Fogel, the patriarch of the family, was a jeweler in the city although mining originally drew him to the area. While the family remained in Leadville until 1903, a total of ten years, Reuben maintained business interests in the city for another decade before permanently cutting ties.

Reuben Fogel and his wife Kate Miller Fogel were both second-generation Americans, a highly uncommon status among the early Jewish residents of Leadville. Reuben was born in Ohio in 1849 [1] and Kate was born in Pennsylvania on July 27, 1860. [2] The date of their marriage is not known. Reuben’s involvement in Leadville predated his and his family’s physical residence in the city. He accompanied jeweler Sol Rice, another future Jewish resident of Leadville, on a trip around Colorado in 1882 with the apparent intent of scoping out business locations for the latter. According to the article describing their brief partnership, Reuben represented the Gold Field Consolidated Mining Company and was a member of the jewelry firm of L. Gutmann & Co. based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he still lived. [3] He continued to involve himself in mining at Leadville throughout the 1880s [4] before deciding to move there early in the next decade.
Though the exact date of their marriage is unclear, Reuben and Kate were married by 1889 at the latest as evidenced by the birth of their first child Moses “Moe” on March 6 of that year. [5] Reuben, Kate, and Moe arrived in Leadville by 1891, living at 20 Delaware Block (700 Harrison Avenue) while Reuben worked in mine ownership and management. [6] By 1892, the family had moved into 213 East 8th Street, the permanent home for their remaining tenure in Leadville. [7] Reuben and Kate had three more children over the proceeding decade: John in January 1893, [8] Marguerite on November 2, 1894, [9] and Leo on July 14, 1898. [10] John passed away one month after he was born. [11]
After two years primarily advancing his mining business in Leadville, Reuben revived his interests in the jewelry industry by opening the American Jewelry Co. at 413 Harrison Avenue in 1893. [12] Jewelry eventually surpassed mining as the primary income source for the family. Although he continued investing in mines [13] and made business trips regarding various mining concerns, [14] reports on such activities dwindled during the Fogel family’s residency in Leadville.

The Fogels quickly immersed themselves in the social life of Leadville upon their arrival. Reuben and Kate attended a Simchat Torah ball [15] at the Knights of Labor Hall at the southeast corner of 4th Street and Pine Street. [16] Kate also entertained a number of Jewish women at a dinner at the Fogel home in 1893. Among those invited were “Mesdames Sam Berry, I. Kahn, L. Baer, M. Kahn, Carrie Meyer, and Miss Tillie Kahn.” [17] Reuben and Kate attended a party celebrating the tenth anniversary of the wedding between Adolph and Carrie Schayer. [18] Guests at the Schayer party included many of Leadville’s most prominent Jewish residents. Kate later became a member of the Ladies’ Reading Club which was reading Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s The Last Days of Pompeii in December 1899. [19]
While the family’s social life in Leadville was profuse, their health apparently suffered. Kate and the children spent each summer in Glenwood Springs, often leaving in April or May [20] and returning just prior to the winter season in August or September. [21] Initially, the exact reason for their concern was never divulged apart from improving the health of Kate and one of the sons. [22] In 1901, however, Leadville’s Herald Democrat did report that their departure that year was due to pneumonia, which had affected Kate and two of the children. [23] Reuben typically remained in Leadville for the winter to manage the family’s business interests but he did stay with his wife and children in Glenwood Springs for two months in 1898. [24]
The Fogels experienced a home disturbance on September 5, 1900. [25] Marguerite awoke at about 4:00 AM to a stranger attempting to gain entry to the home through the front door. Unable to open it, the person then tried to enter through a window but failed there as well. Reuben, now awake, confronted the intruder with a revolver, causing the individual to flee. He then fired the gun at the running figure and woke up many of the neighbors. The crowd discovered the would-be prowler hiding in a nearby outhouse and delivered him to an officer. Police determined that the unnamed intruder had mistaken the Fogel house for his own due to a “too free indulgence of his appetite for ardent liquors.”
Reuben became deeply involved in discussions about trade in Leadville closer to the turn of the century, particularly when it came to managing competition or eradicating it entirely from the city. In 1898, he and “several other jewelers” accused fellow Jewish jeweler Joseph Cohn of violating his auction license by holding a “fake auction.” [26] The Herald Democratic reporter assigned to cover the city council’s investigation into the charges described Joseph Cohn as being unsure about the exact nature of the complaint. Though the accusations largely came down to hearsay, it became clear that the focus of the uproar was due to the perceived sale of low-quality jewelry at Joseph Cohn’s auction, goods that he purchased just prior to the auction in question. In the end, the city council took no action toward Joseph Cohn.

Three years later, in January 1901, Reuben obtained the position of first vice president of Leadville’s board of trade. [27] Within a month of his election, he revived his interest in regulating Leadville’s jeweler auctions by introducing a resolution to halt one such auction on Harrison conducted by an unnamed jeweler:
The action of the city council in the matter was brought about by a resolution presented by Reuben Fogel and Charles Hayden representing the board of trade requiring that the ordinance governing auctions be carried out. City Attorney Bouck’s advice to the council, wherein he stated that the ordinance is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced, was overruled by the council.
Messrs. Fogel and Hayden defended the position taken by the board of trade and merchants in demanding that the auction sale being carried on compel him to comply with the ordinance. In view of the fact that the city attorney practically refused to have anything to do with the case Mr. Fogel assured the council that the board of trade would employ legal talent to fight the case to a finish. [28]

In March 1901, Reuben, among other board of trade members, spoke on the question of peddlers in Leadville with the expressed desire of regulating or outright banning them from the city. A petition with 209 signatures outlined the communal intent of the concerned merchants, with Reuben further clarifying his position:
Mr. Fogel said that this matter has been going on for two years. The board of trade has been considering it very carefully. We want to have a law enacted by which any person going from house to house soliciting orders shall be declared a hawker, and be charged a license, prohibiting if necessary. [29]
Reuben’s involvement in the regulation of peddlers and auctions lessened after 1901 in concert with a developing interest among the Fogel family to depart the city altogether.
The family’s time in Leadville between 1901 and 1903 largely passed without notable events. Moe marked his twelfth birthday in March 1901 with a celebration arranged by Laura Berry, daughter of Jewish dry goods merchant Samuel Berry and his wife Bertha Hoffman Berry. [30] Kate became a member of a local whist club, which held one of its meetings at the home Fanny Cohn, whose husband Joseph Cohn was at the center of Reuben’s first jewelry auction scandal. [31] Kate also became involved in Leadville’s Woman’s Club [32] and, during 1903, was reading an unnamed book by historian Edward Eggleston and discussing articles from the Bay View Magazine. [33] Finally, Reuben and Kate attended a 1903 New Year celebration at the home of Isaac and Jennie Hoffman. [34] Attendees were all prominent Jewish Leadville residents.

By March 1903, Reuben had returned to the mining industry and visited numerous East Coast cities to make secretive proposals to potential investors on gold mining efforts in and around Leadville. Leadville’s Herald Democrat announced that the investors would travel to the city to finalize the deal. [35] Four days later, the newspaper reported that complications arising in the deal meant further details would be unavailable for some months. [36] An article then appeared in September 1903 describing the newly created Valley Leasing Company, represented locally by Reuben and financed by East Coast investors. [37] Despite his involvement in a new mining company, Reuben began making plans to depart Leadville several months earlier.
By the summer of 1903, Reuben had forged inroads into California, where he, Kate, and their children would soon call home for the remainder of their lives. Reuben visited California for several months starting in May of that year, although the exact purpose for the trip is unclear. [38] By August 1903, the Herald Democrat shared news from Santa Monica, California that indicated the entire Fogel family had moved to the area. [39] Leadville’s city directories also ceased listing the Fogels by 1903, confirming their departure from the city. However, Reuben maintained his mining interests in Leadville, noted by an extended stay in the city between December 1905 [40] and January 1906. [41]
The Fogel household was located at 213 E 8th Street in Leadville.

While the Fogel family maintained their permanent residence in Santa Monica, [42] Reuben continued visiting Leadville until 1913 [43] to check on his interests in the Valley Leasing Company and the American Jewelry Company, the latter of which he retained a half interest. [44] But his presence in the city was not strictly business. He was chairman of several Fourth of July committees in 1910 [45] and was a pallbearer [46] for the funeral of Louis Greenwald in 1913. [47] Two of the family’s last mentions in Leadville’s newspaper concerned Moe’s graduation from Stanford University and passing his bar examination, [48] and his election to the Santa Monica board of education. [49] The family’s time in Leadville officially ended when Rueben sold the other half of his shares in the jewelry company in September 1913. [50]
The final Leadville mentions regarding the Fogel family were tragic. On October 29, 1918, members of the Dale Bandit Gang [51] brutally murdered Reuben in the Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica. [52] The gang, consisting of husband-and-wife duo Dale and Margaret Jones, sought to steal a large sum of money from Reuben through a false transaction:
The Los Angeles police are of the opinion they have established beyond all question the fact that Jones and his wife lured Fogel to a house in a fashionable section of Los Angeles where they beat him to death and robbed him of $490, which he had brut [sic] with him to purchase a $500 Liberty Bond from the bandit pair.
Police killed Dale and Margaret Jones in a shootout in the Arcadia suburb of Los Angeles roughly three weeks after Reuben’s murder. [53]
Reuben was buried at Home of Peace Memorial Park in Los Angeles. [54]
Kate, Leo, Marguerite, and Moe remained in Santa Monica for the rest of their lives and are all buried at the city’s Woodlawn Cemetery. Kate died on November 1, 1957. [55] Leo, who served during World War I, arrived in France with the American Expeditionary Forces in 1918. [56] He married Ada Hildebrand and died on March 3, 1974. [57] Marguerite married Charles Richmond and passed away on February 10, 1980. [58] Moe married Sydnie Gardner and died on March 9, 1991. [59]
