AJ Harlan was born November 27, 1858 in Adams, Ohio to Robert Morrison Harlan and Mary (Downard) Harlan. He moved to Victor, Colorado in 1896 and set up a photography shop. He married Jessie Luella McGill in 1898 in the Presbyterian church in Victor (no longer standing). They stayed in the Cripple Creek and Victor area until 1900 when they moved to Colorado Springs. In 1902 they had a son who was stillborn. He is also buried in Evergreen. Unfortunately the baby's grave no longer has a headstone. In 1911 they had a daughter who they named Dorothy J. Harlan. She became a musician. It's believed Dorothy died in Denver in 1986, but that is not confirmed and as of now her final resting place is unknown. Andrew, also known as "The View Man" had a photography shop in Colorado Springs from the 1900s to 1917 when the family moved to Junction City, KS. While on vacation in Colorado Springs in June of 1926 he died unexpectedly and was buried July 1, 1926 in Evergreen Cemetery. His wife Jessie never remarried. She remained for a time in Junction City, then moved to Denver to live with her aunt and uncle, Enoch and Nellie Nock until their deaths in the mid-1940s. Jessie died in 1965 and is buried in Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. Her grave, like her infant son's, is also without a headstone.
