The Rosenthal family was quite large and likely maintained two homes, one in Leadville and another in Denver, between 1880 and 1895. Their only census record shows the family in Denver, [1] however they are frequently mentioned in Leadville newspaper articles during this period despite their absence from both the Denver and Leadville city directories between 1881 and 1895.
Fanny Rosenthal was present, without her husband, at the first anniversary ball to commemorate the founding of the Rocky Mountain Lodge of the B’nai B’rith on November 9, 1880. [2] Phillip Rosenthal is shown in the Denver directory as the proprietor of a scrap metal and paper stock operation during this year. [3]
Bettie Rosenthal was likely close with the Shoenberg sisters, appearing with them at both the Hebrew Ladies’ Pink Domino Hop on March 15, 1883, [4] and again at the Knights of Pythias ball on November 1, 1883. [5] Fanny and Bettie gave a fish bowl and set of flower vases to Solomon Rice on the occasion of his wedding in 1883. [6] Bettie appears to have had many friends in Leadville. She maintained a relationship with the Lindauer family after they left Leadville for Gunnison City in 1881. She married Simon Weisberger at their home in that city on July 8, 1884. [7]
The younger Rosenthal daughters, Essie, who was born in Denver in 1880, and May, who was born in Colorado (the date and city are unclear) also attended Leadville social functions. May attended Claire Mayer’s fourth birthday party on August 20, 1889. [8] Essie was present at the thirteenth birthday celebration for Sol Cohn on December 7, 1895. [9] These are the last mentions of the Rosenthal family in Leadville, although their youngest son, Joseph Rosenthal, served with the United States’ Army during the First World War. [10]
