Jared L. Brush (July 6, 1835 – April 24, 1913) was the ninth Lieutenant Governor of Colorado. He was a Republican and served from 1895 to 1899 under governors Albert McIntire and Alva Adams.[1]

Biography[edit]

He was born in Clermont County, Ohio, on July 6, 1835. He moved to Iowa and then to Greeley, Colorado, arriving in 1859. He was a prospector and rancher, who developed early irrigation systems and encouraged agricultural associations. He served as sheriff of Weld County in 1871, as a county commissioner from 1874 to 1877, and as a state assemblyman from 1879 to 1893. In 1896 he became a banker but continued to encourage agriculture and education, securing a state normal school for Greeley (later Colorado State Teachers College, now the University of Northern Colorado).[2] He died April 24, 1913, in Greeley.

Memory[edit]

The town of Brush, Colorado is named after Jared Brush.[3]
