Twenty-one Isabella Gold Mining Company stock certificates issued 1895-1899. Eighteen were signed in 1895-96 by the company's president, Percy Hagerman, and three were signed in 1899 by Nelson B. Williams, as president. In 1894, Hagerman's father, James J. Hagerman, a Colorado mining and railroad tycoon, and his partners formed the Isabella Gold Mining Company. In 1898, the elder Hagerman sold his stake in the Isabella Gold Mining Company and turned his remaining Colorado interests, including the Colorado Midland Railway Company and other gold mines of Aspen, Cripple Creek, and Leadville, over to Percy. Percy Hagerman settled in Colorado Springs in 1885 where he became a businessman, outdoorsman, and well-known mountaineer who painted the mountains he was climbing. Hagerman Peak near Aspen is named for him. He was a life-member of the Broadmoor Art Academy and from 1939 to 1950, served on the Board of the Colorado Fine Arts Center.
