John B. Sloan was a prominent farmer and dairy rancher in the Elwell community and later in Johnstown. He came to the Berthoud area in the late 1880s and married Armenda Flora on New Year’s Eve day in 1890. The couple moved to Elwell two years later and became part of that budding community.
The Sloans farmed for five years on land owned by Jessie Thornton bounded on the south and east by what is now Hwy 60 and Colorado Blvd, respectively.
