Project One:
New Headstone for Roy Bourquin’s Resting Place:

The historic Hotel St. Nicholas in Cripple

Creek—formerly the St. Nicholas Hospital

founded by the Sisters of Mercy—is raising

funds to replace the existing wooden grave

marker for Roy Bourquin, buried at

Mt. Pisgah Cemetery. Born in 1889 and

passing in 1958, Roy—often known as

“Army” Bourquin—was severely injured at a

young age, yet his life ultimately became

one of redemption. He lived and worked at

the St. Nicholas Hospital for more than

20 years until his death, and his story is

closely intertwined with the history of the

hospital and the Cripple Creek community. Our goal is to install a period-appropriate headstone bearing his name, dates, and a brief account of his life; any additional funds raised will support Mt. Pisgah Cemetery.
