30 years ago – May 10, 1991

After 23 years of owning one of Central City’s most popular saloons, Gail and Lyle Sheftel have decided that it’s time to retire and enjoy life in Florida. The Sheftels have decided to sell not only the Toll Gate, but also their home in Central City. Mother’s Day is the last day of business for the Toll Gate. Though he hasn’t signed a contract, Lyle said, the saloon is definitely for sale. To commemorate the last day of business, the Toll Gate Gunfighters have prepared a special show for their last performance, at 3:30 p.m., on May 12. The whole staff is joining in what promises to be a memorable performance. The gunfighters always try to present a special show at the end of the season each year. They figure that the last gunfight before the Toll Gate shuts its doors while awaiting a new owner is the perfect excuse for—ahem—a bang-up performance.

Died: Betty Nerheim Huntsman, 69, passed away April 11, 1991, at Swedish Hospital in Englewood after many years of suffering with Multiple Sclerosis. Betty was the daughter of Birger and Myrtle Nerheim of Gilpin Town in Lump Gulch. She was born in Denver, September 9, 1922. She attended Gilpin Town’s Country School through the eighth grade, then attended and graduated from Gilpin County High School in Central City. She was employed by Kortz & Sons Jewelry and later worked at Royal Crest Dairy for 18 years before retiring because of Multiple Sclerosis. She married Harold Huntsman May 31, 1944. The couple, along with Betty’s sister, Helen and her husband, Lloyd “Red” Kindler, maintained the family’s mountain home in Gilpin Town. Betty was preceded in death by her parents and a son, Richard. She is survived by her husband; a daughter, Betty Ann Palmer of Colorado Springs; two granddaughters, Kathy and Deanna, and her sister, Helen Kindler. Burial was in Chapel Hill Cemetery, Littleton.
