Pioneer Matheson

By Fred F. Isgar

The beginning of a town. The year was 1906. Two brothers, John and Norman Matheson, built a store and post office on a parcel of land on the eastern plains of Colorado. Next came the lumber yard, a hotel, livery barn, and blacksmith shop. This small community soon grew with the influx of hundreds of immigrants - good, hard-working people who pioneered what would become the Matheson community. In Pioneer Matheson, Fred F. Isgar, who at the age of three moved with his family by covered wagon to a farm in the Matheson area, tells the story of the birth of this tiny plains town through its prosperous years to its gradual decline.
