Yule Marble

The Yule Marble Quarry is located 4 miles out of Marble, Colorado, USA

Recently the Junior Girl Scout Troop 357 of Lakewood, Colorado successfully petitioned the Colorado Legislature to have the Yule Marble named the Colorado State Rock.

The Yule Quarry contains what may be the finest white marble in the world. It was used in various projects such as the Lincoln Memorial and Tomb of the Unknowns in Washington DC, the Immaculate Cathedral and Colorado State Museum. It is still available for landscaping and architectural purposes. Recently a piece of marble 11.5 foot by 9.5 foot by 6.25 foot was used to sculpt a life size grizzle bear with three cubs.

George YULE was prospecting along a small river near his home in Garfield County, Colorado and named the river the YULE Creek. Later a pure white marble was discovered along the Yule Creek.

George YULE, son of John YULE and Janet THOMPSON, was born 20 June 1835 in Banffshire, Scotland and died 13 August 1910 Salida. Colorado. He is buried in the Highland Cemetery, Newcastle. On 15 January 1896, he married Lizzie McBURNEY the daughter of Hugh McBURNEY.

The family moved to Ashland. Ohio in 1840 and later settled in Keokuk, Iowa. In 1858, George moved to Mound City, Kansas but two years later he moved back to Keokuk. In 1862, he enlisted in the Fortieth Iowa Infantry going in as a private and retired as a second lieutenant in 1865. Later that year he joined a wagon train going west to Colorado. He had considerable difficulties with Indians trying to steal his cattle. He and his brother William claimed land north of Denver. In 1870 he sold his interest there and moved to Gunnison County where he served two years as sheriff. In 1881 he set up the Murphy-Yule Cattle Company with his brother and Joe and John Murray. He settled on what is now Garfield Creek, named by George in honor of the US President.

In Garfield County, he engaged in farming and raising stock. He built one of the best ranches in the county. He sold the ranch in 1907 and moved to Glenwood where he became on of the directors of the Citizen’s National Bank. .
