Lemen, Lewis E.
In April, 1893, Dr. Lewis E. Lemen was appointed health commissioner of Denver by Mayor Van Horn. In 1889 be was appointed a commissioner of the Colorado Insane Asylum, and was president of the board until 1895. With the various medical associations he holds membership, national, state, and city and county, of which last he was president for some time. His contributions to medical journals have made his name a familiar one to the profession throughout the country. He has been especially successful in surgery, in which department his skill is universally recognized, and his articles upon any branch of that subject are always accepted as authority. In fraternal relations he is a Knight Templar and has taken the thirty-second degree in Masonry. In politics he adheres to the principles of that body known as the silver Republicans. The demands of his profession have been such that he has had no time, had he possessed the inclination, to enter the political arena. The positions he has held have been those that were directly connected with his profession or with the educational interests of his community. May 5, 1875, Dr. Lemen married Miss Lizzie, daughter of Hon. Henry T. Mudd, of St. Louis, Mo. She died in Georgetown, Colo., in 1876. His second marriage, April 12, 1882, united him with Elsie, daughter of Hon. William H. James, of the Omaha and Grant Smelting Company. Three children have been born of their union, of whom two are living, Margaret Lemen and Lewis James Lemen.

Loor, Joseph H.
Denver Evening Post 1-23-1899 – Probing Asylum Affairs – Tilts Between Investigators Enliven the Proceedings – Pueblo, Jan. 23 – Dr. Hubert Work, the temporary superintendent of the asylum, who has been active as its provisional superintendent since Dec. 25 last, was the first witness called this morning. Dr. Work testified that when he assumed the provisional superintendency no invoices of drugs, furniture, or fixtures was given to him. As to the management of the asylum, T. J. Burrows was supervisor; Mrs. Thombs held the next position, that of matron; J. H. Loor is steward, and Mrs. Lucy Edwards, chief nurse, is followed by the nurses, who number fifteen, and are directly under her supervision.
Loor, Joseph H.
Denver Evening Post 1-24-1899 – Asylum Inquisitors Down to Hard Pan – Pueblo, Jan. 24 – What will probably be the last day of the insane asylum investigation by the legislative committee began this morning with a denunciation by Attorney (Mortimer F.) Taylor, who, in vigorous language, characterized the examination of witnesses as “bullyragging,” and of such an illegal nature that 90 per cent of the testimony taken would be thrown out of an ordinary justice court. When the committee met at 9:30 o'clock Steward Loor was recalled to the witness stand and closely questioned as to the disposition made of the asylum appropriations. To a question, if a financial statement could be found showing the amount of cash on hand on Jan. 1, 1899, and the amount of revenue of the institution for that year, witness replied that the information could be found in the office of the state auditor. On cross-examination witness said it was impossible to go through the books and furnish an itemized bill for goods received in the asylum… Steward Furnishes Figures – J. H. Loor, steward under the provisional superintendent, was presented by Attorney General Campbell to show the faulty system of bookkeeping. For the quarter ending February, 1898, he testified the salaries amounted to $1,655 and the wages $2,996, making a total of $4,651. “The books,” said the witness, “show that these amounts were paid by vouchers.” On a question of the attorney general to the possibility that any number of persons could be added to the pay roll and the vouchers drawn the witness answered “yes.” “Was there a general invoice taken of the furniture and fixtures, the horses and cattle, when you were appointed steward?” “I never saw one. Nor have I found any records beyond 1896 to show what goods were brought in and stored in the building.” “Does the baker keep a daily record?” “I do not know.” Witness said, as steward, he did not keep records showing the final disposition of flour or anything else coming into the asylum. There were probably invoices to show their receipt. Witness was asked to look them up and, if possible, present them by this morning. He stated that he had received instructions from Dr. Work to keep cases on what he needed from day to day and order it. He admitted that if anybody went into a combination with the commissioners and superintendent a fraud could be created. A complete system of checking all goods and showing their final disposition could be established, in the opinion of the witness, and would not require much work.
Loor, Joseph H.
Denver Evening Post 1-25-1899 – Summed Up By Word “Nothing” – Insane Asylum Investigation Devoid of Results – Pueblo, Jan. 25 – After five days' investigation by the joint legislative investigating committee into the affairs of the state insane asylum, the state rested its case last night with the announcement of defeat. Addressing the members in summing up the evidence, Attorney General Campbell said: … “Joseph Loor, the steward, was the only fair witness on that stand. I asked him, 'Do you know how much bread, meat and vegetables you consume?' He answered, 'No; they simply told me to keep up the table, ordering what I wanted when it was desired, just to keep up the table.'
Loor, Joseph H.
Denver Evening Post 2-14-1899 – Insane Asylum Management Laid Bare – Majority Report – After reciting the charges lodged against the superintendent the majority report attacks them… As to the financial records and books of account, the committee found that the system of bookkeeping now and for the last four years in use at the asylum was adopted on recommendation of State Auditor Lowell and the present bookkeeper, Joseph H. Loar, testified before the committee that the system was a good and proper one and that by it a careful check could be kept on the purchases of goods and the character of goods.
