| 1900 United States Census - Emmanuel Van Straaten The 1920 census shows Emmanuel Van Straaten, born Jan 1866, single, as the Superintendent of Park at Chutes Park in Denver, Colorado.
According to the Leonard Leonard & Associates website, "The land that today is Arlington Park, Speer to 8th Avenue/Pennsylvania to Downing, was purchased from Moses Hallett by a syndicate that included Robert W. Speer in 1889. Development of the park began in 1891 with the northern portion designated as Arlington Park Addition and the southern portion designated for an amusement park. The Arlington Park grand opening was held on the Fourth of July in 1892. A crowd of 12,000 gathered along the banks of Cherry Creek to view the main attraction--a huge theatrical performance The Last Days of Pompeii which included a large fireworks display to represent the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
"Development of the land was halted by the 1893 Silver Crash and consequent depression. Named Chutes Park in 1898, the park was developed to include a railway, bicycle track, and even a waterfall to travel down in small boats! Highlights included Professor Barnes' herd of elk which would dive off of the chutes into a tank of water and Sadie Boynton who would head down the chutes on a bicycle! The park (and its bleacher seating) was destroyed by fire in 1901 and reopened as Riverside Park with a screen to show early motion pictures. In 1902 the park was re-opened as Arlington Park."
