Caldwell, Toll Toll Caldwell - World Independent January 13, 1881 - Died With His Boots On Toll Caldwell Passes in His Checks The Traditional Old Style Revived is His Case From the Silver Cliff Republican we are able to obtain the particulars of the killing of Toll Caldwell, a character widely known in this county: Toll Caldwell has played his last game. The percentage was against him, and while he knew he could but lose, like a thorough sport, he played to the end of the deal. At the Huerfano he became intimate with a Mexican woman, and had some difficulty with her husband. Accompanied by the woman he came to Silver Cliff, where they lived together some time. Meanwhile the husband of the woman had disappeared. Search being instituted his body was found in an abandoned shaft near Mosca Pass. Caldwell remained here until last summer, when he and the woman removed to New Mexico, where he had not very long lived until he had some difficulty with a mail carrier whom he shot and killed. A few days later he had some trouble while in a fandango, and when surrounded by the woman's relations, who both feared and hated him. The difficulty finally resulted in the killing of a musician by Caldwell, when he in turn fell mortally wounded. There is no doubt in the minds of those familiar with the circumstances attending his death but that he was the victim of a conspiracy and that his Mexican enemies had long been awaiting an opportunity to avenge the death of the woman's husband, for whose murder they always blamed Caldwell. Thus one more of those who were well known and identified with our earlier history has passed away in the old traditional style, and in recording his death we can but say, "he died with his boots on." Gambler and desperado though he was, still many can tell of his deeds of kindness and charity, but the cords of a hardened heart had never been touched by the hand that could cause them to thrill responsive to nobler motives, and he died as he had lived, "only a gambler." Above article was reprinted from the Silver Cliff Republican in the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel, Monday, January 31, 1881, Page 5, Issue 25, Column D. Caldwell, Tracy L. Tracy L.

The jury was out more than eighteen hours. Hand, who is out on a $10,000 bond, said he would file an appeal or ask for a new trial. Calland, Garfield E. Garfield E. Calland - Walsenburg World - May 19, 1921 - Gar Calland, a homesteader near Rattlesnake Buttes was shot and killed by a neighbor named Sam Hand about 7:30 Sunday evening. The cause of the killing was a quarrel of about two years standing over a line fence. The fence originally stood on the boundary line of Hand's property. This fence Hand moved fifteen feet over onto his own property. Calland brought his fence to poin Hand's and Hand tore it down. This procedure was repeated several times and some last week Mrs. Calland shot at Mrs. Hand when she was tearing down the fence. Hand came to town and swore to a complaint against Mrs. Calland for assault with intent to kill. Sunday night Calland was approaching the point in dispute when Hand shot him with a Winchester, killing him instantly. At the coroner's inquest held Tuesday afternoon, the testimony of the coroner as to how he found the body of Mr. Calland, and the testimony of Mrs. Calland and Mrs. Calland's mother was presented to the jury. After a short deliberation the jury returned the following verdict; "That Garfield E. Calland came to the death in the Rattlesnake Buttes district, Huerfano County, Colorado, by a bullet fired from a gun in the hand of Samuel Hand and we further find that the shot was fired with felonious intent. May 14th. 1921." Signed, E.L. Sears, C.M. Buckles, Chas. Mazzone, F.H. Danford, Wn. Klier, Robert Young. Callaway, Bernadine L. Bernadine L.

She got her first custom-sized saddle as a Christmas gift from her father at the age of 4 and stayed astride until well into her 80s. After a long teaching career that began in a local mining camp and ended in a Californian coastal town, she returned to make La Veta her home, where she stayed active in pursuits that gained her friends of every age. She coupled a love of new learning and adventure with a rancher's sense of self-sufficiency and thrift, living on her own up to the very end with the help of her loving friends, Marge and Bill Riggins. She leaves many cousins, nieces and nephews and many loving friends from around the world. On her mantel were over 50 birthday cards, a testament to how she drew people into her circle who admired a life well-lived. The day before she died, she declared, "I am happy. Just so happy. I love my home. I love looking at the mountains and the birds, and I feel so lucky in the people who care for me and in my friends."

Cardenas, Mr. Mr. Cardenas Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain November 18, 1875 The Tolby Murder Examination of the Accused and Shooting of Cardenas The examination of the parties charged with being principals or accessories to the murder of Rev. F. J. Tolby, was held at Cimarron on Wednesday before a magistrate. Several parties from Elizabethtown testified as to the statement made by Cardenas implicating Longwill, Mills and Donahoe, showing that no force was used and that he made the same statement to different parties at different times. The investigation was very full. The court held that there was not sufficient evidence against M. W. Mills and he was discharged. Donahoe and Cardenas were bound over to await the action of the grand jury. A large number of people from all over the country were in attendance, and the utmost order and quiet prevailed. A meeting was held and resolutions adopted expressive of their determination to put down crime, and also to maintain peace and good order at all times in the country. While Cardenas was being conveyed to the jail, in charge of two guards, a party of unknown men seized him and overpowered the guards, shot Cardenas through the head, killing him instantly. Longwill was not arrested, having evaded the officers and made good his escape. He is supposed to be in Santa Fe. The Longwill alluded to above appears to be Dr. R. H. Longwill, of Cimarron, who is well known in this city. If, as stated, he has evaded the officers and left the town, the thing has an ugly look for him, but what interest he could have had in the murder of an itinerant preacher is beyond our comprehension. It may be when the excitement cools down a little that he will return and explain matters.

Cardinal, Agnes Agnes Cardinal - Pueblo Chieftain - July 20, 2003 - Agnes Cardinal, at the wonderful age of 93, died in Pueblo, July 17, 2003, where she was born and raised. She grew up on Currie Street with her parents, Giuseppe and Maria Costanza; and brothers and sisters, Frank, John, Charles, Jean and Josephine, who have already passed, and Rose Snead and Sr. Mary Theophane who are still with us. She passed over to meet her husband, Sam R. Cardinal, who died in 1977. Agnes was a joyful and positive person who was always counting her blessings. The first among these were her three fine sons that she and Sam raised, and their families, Dave Cardinal and his wife Marianne of Pueblo, Bob Cardinale and his wife PJ of Santa Fe, N.M., and George (Sam) Cardinale and his wife Julie of Petaluma, Calif. Unconditional love of her sons and their nine remarkable children, and equally remarkable nine great-grandchildren, is just one of the reasons why Agnes will be remembered. Remarkable was a word she used a lot in taking total joy in her family. Very memorable as well were her wonderful flat Italian waffle-like cookies called pizzelles. Friends and family alike could count on a box of pizzelles for the trip home after a visit to her house. She thrived on breaded pork chops, stuffed artichokes and always had a stash of jelly beans in a drawer by the front door for herself and anyone else. The jelly beans gave her the energy to work in her yard every day and to edge her lawn with a pair of scissors. Her generosity was legendary and her husband's shop, Sam's Floor Covering, provided many kitchen floors and carpets for the residences of nuns and priests of Pueblo and especially Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City, Colo., for which she had a special attachment. One had to be very careful in admiring anything in her house because she would immediately try to give it to you. This was her way of living her philosophy of giving people her flowers when they could see and smell them. Many people have been, and continue to be, the recipients of her flowers. In addition, she will always be remembered for her simple, straightforward and loving way of saying things. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, you consider making a contribution to the Pueblo Community College Foundation, 900 W. Orman Ave, Pueblo, CO 81004, in her name. A Memorial service will be held at the T.G. McCarthy Funeral Home, 329 Goodnight Ave. at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20, 2003, followed by a joyful wake at the Shrine of St. Therese for friends and family. There will be a funeral service at the Shrine of St. Therese at 10 a.m. Monday, July 21, 2003. Interment, Roselawn Cemetery. Cardinal, Annette M. Annette M. (Niccoli) Cardinal - Pueblo Chieftain - July 25, 2004 - Annette M. (Niccoli) Cardinal, a very young 94, passed away quietly on July 22, 2004, following a brief illness. Preceding her were her beloved husband, Robert (1988); parents, Mary and Michael Niccoli; sisters, Josephine M. Kendall, Inez and Josephine Niccoli; and brothers, Joseph, John, Charles "Sid", Victor "Vic" and Albert "Barney" Niccoli. Left behind to cherish Ann's memory are her loving daughter, Cindy (Tom) Haulik; granddaughters, Amy and Sara, all of Alpharetta, Ga.; brother, Frank (Wanda) Niccoli of California; sisters-in-law, Blanche, Clara and Geri Niccoli; adored nieces and nephews of Pueblo, Anita L. "Skip" Kendall (with whom she lived with nearly the past six years); Ronald and Connie, Jim "Bud" and Kay, and Paul W. Kendall; many more nieces, nephews, great-and great-great-nieces and-nephews, whom she loved dearly. Ann was born in Crested Butte, Colo., on Nov. 28, 1909. She knew many hardships, but managed to live a full, happy and extremely productive life. She spent the better part of her adult life in Fountain Valley, Calif., until moving to Pueblo in October of 1998 to live with her sister Josephine. To say that Ann was generous, thoughtful, selfless, kind and beyond creative would be a gross understatement. There are no words to describe her and how many many lives she has touched. She was an angel before her passing. Ann's hands and mind were never idle. She was planting flowers, redecorating something, and constantly sewing, crocheting or quilting something to her last days, and always for someone else. Up until the time she moved from Fountain Valley, Ann was involved with the Girl Scouts, the Friends of the Library, the Fountain Valley Historical Society, the Women's Quilting Club, and the Fountain Valley Women's Club, and surviving family member of the SS Russell naval ship each of which she held several official titles. These clubs and activities were her life and to leave them behind was a very traumatic experience for her; for these loving people she left behind were all like family to her. And to her last day, she spoke of them fondly. Ann leaves a legacy behind, which most of us only dream of and not just memories but material things. She has left us with hand-sewn quilts, which have won prizes at state fairs, hand-painted china plates, nick-knacks, and statuettes, embroidered and crocheted items we all hold so dear. There was absolutely nothing this pretty lady could not do if she wanted. She leaves a giant hole in the lives of the living, but fills a well-deserved space in heaven. Graveside services will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 27, 2004, at Mountain View Cemetery (enter west Acero gate). Monsignor Marvin Kapushion will preside. Please omit flowers and food.

Caricato - Pueblo Chieftain - May 09, 2004 - Bill D. Caricato departed this life on May 6, 2004, for the kingdom his Savior has prepared for him. He was 65 years old. Born in Pueblo on May 27, 1938, he was not only raised in Pueblo, but also spent the majority of his married life there. In his youth, he attended St. Patrick's Catholic School, Central High School, and then completed his education at University of Southern Colorado, after returning from the service. For the last 18 years, Bill and his wife, Jody, have resided in Penrose, Colo. He is survived by his wife of 42 years; his sons, Greg (Jessica) of Springfield, Colo., Glenn (Teresa) Caricato of Manhattan, Kan.; and daughter, Kathy (John) Lane, Pueblo, Colo. Bill is the grandfather of eight grandchildren, Aaron, Vincent and Sean Caricato, Shelby Thompson, Kyla and Emily Caricato, and Nicole and John Lane. Bill is the brother-in-law of Nick (Loraine) Gemma, John (Shirley) Tucci and Sylvia Caricato O'Donnell (Jim). He is also the uncle of numerous nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his parents, Sam L. and Phyllis Caricato; sisters, Kathleen Walters and Dolores Tucci; and brothers, Joe Caricato and Sam Caricato. Bill had been a firefighter-fire engineer for the City of Pueblo from 1969 to 1989, an employee of CF&I from 1959 to 1969, and served in the U.S. Navy on the Saratoga from 1955 to 1959. Bill loved football, baseball and bowling; and proved himself as outstanding in all three. As a spectator, he enjoyed most sports and was an avid NASCAR fan. While a Pueblo resident, Bill and his wife were members of Holy Family Parish. Upon their move to Penrose, they joined St. Benedict's Church in Florence, Colo. Bill's warm smile and unique sense of humor touched the lives and hearts of family, friends and day-to-day acquaintances. Bill also seemed to sense the nobleness of God's creatures - both wild and domesticated - and they became his avocation. Whether bird, cat, horse or dog, each lingered near him while he talked to them, won their confidence, and then took care of them. In July of 2000, Bill was diagnosed with cancer. Throughout his long battle against this relentless disease, friends, loved ones, and all who came into his life witnessed Bill's strength as a strong fighter, the power of his persistence and endurance, and the meaning of courage. Most importantly, Bill found both strength in the power of prayer and peace through the promise of his Savior's redeeming grace. Bill will be missed by many, but never forgotten.

Colorado Springs Gazette May 15, 1926 Two Men Killed in Outbreak of Pueblo's Ancient Blackhand War Danna Brothers Shot Down from Closed Automobile as They Stood on Street; Posses Closing in on Quartet of Slayers Trapped in Coal Camp Near Walsenburg Pueblo, Saturday, May 15 (AP) Two men are dead and a third wounded in the most recent outbreak of Pueblo's Blackhand war. Two brothers, the third of one family, were fatally wounded yesterday afternoon by assassins and an innocent bystander was wounded by a stray shot. Pete and Tony Danna died last night. They were shot down at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when they were standing in front of a pool hall in the heart of the business district. Sam English, owner of the pool hall, was shot in the leg. Capture of the murderers is regarded as certain by officers at an early hour this morning for the occupants of the murder car are said to be trapped in a coal camp near Walsenburg and posses from three cities are closing the net drawn around the murderers' rendevous. Late developments last night indicated without a doubt, police and the sheriff said, that the killing was a result of the blackhand war of many years' standing. The murder car, a Hudson coach with curtains drawn, passed slowly in front of the pool hall where the Danna brothers were standing, and shot from sawed-off shotguns cut the brothers down before they had time to draw their own weapons. Doctors in attendance stated that both of the men had received from 30 to 40 shot, the bodies being literally torn to pieces from the heavy charge. Their brother, John, was killed in July, 1925, in an alleged blackhand killing but no arrest had ever been made in that case. The two killed yesterday were said to be leaders of the same faction as Frank Bacino, murdered in Denver a short time ago. Pete Danna was out on $10,000 bond in connection with the notorious black hand battle near Baxter, Colo., in September, 1922, in which John Ingo, Dominio Ingo and Charles Carlino were killed. Carlino was a brother of Sam Carlino, one of the four men Pete Danna alleged to have been in the automobile from which the shooting was done Wednesday. Carlisle, H. Wayne H.

Carnes - Walsenburg Independent - June 24, 1937 - Sheriff Says Carnes Murder Committed By Local Youth - State Prison Officials Asked To Bring Bloodhounds To City - Swift Says Crowd of Onlookers Ruined Chances of Catching Gunman; However Search Is Made For Gun - That Shot Spanish-Made Bullet; 12 Suspects Go Free - With 12 suspects questioned and released in Walsenburg and at least a half-dozen grilled in nearby cities, officers investigating the killing of George Carnes, victim of a filling station bandit, are seemingly stumped. Every suspect arrested so far has a perfect alibi and has been released. Sheriff Claud Swift states that the only possible clues were lost when crowds of onlookers jammed the driveway of the filling station at corner of First and Walsen following the killing. Sheriff Swift said that 30 minutes after the shooting he called the state penitentiary and asked that officers bring down bloodhounds to check the trail of the killer. However, when he told prison officials that the crowd had gathered on all sides of the building they informed him that there was "no use" to bring the dogs down. The sheriff says the bullet used to kill Carnes was made in Spain and was very old, the shell being tarnished black with age. Swift asserted that he was positive the job was pulled by a Walsenburg youth and several others are now under suspicion. Officers in all cities and towns in the Rocky Mountain region have been instructed to check hobo camps and question all suspects. World Independent July 16, 1937 Suspects in Carnes Murder Watched by Thousand Eyes Each day one or more citizens of Walsenburg announce they have joined forces with the city's "amateur sleuths" and are working their own solution to the mysterious murder of George Carnes, which occurred here June 22. A reward of $1,000 for the conviction of the murderer and another reward of $100 for information leading to the culprit's arrest have prompted persons from every walk of life to build their theory on the case. Suspicious characters are being watched by a thousand eyes as each self-appointed detective dreams of being given the total reward of $1,100. Sheriff's and police officers are continuing on the case but admittedly are baffled. Carnes was shot through the heart while alone at his filling station about 8 o'clock in the evening. No money was taken from his place of business and the gunman was seen only by three young girls as he ran down an alley.

Otero County Deputy Sheriff Larry Smith, 23, was gunned down Friday by a 12-gauge shotgun blast as he went to a home in La Junta to answer a disturbance call. He was a 1963 graduate of La Junta High School, and unmarried. He was the son of La Junta fire chief, Wayne Smith. 3. Pueblo Police Officer Thomas M. Hanson, 36, was killed when he stopped at a store to buy a carton of milk and came upon a holdup in progress. Investigators said that Patrolman Carpenter was shot with his own service revolver. He was shot four times in the back of the head. Denver police found his body seated upright in his patrol car, which was parked in the rear of an apartment complex in the Monbello area of northeast Denver. Denver police questioned Robert L. Chance, 18, of Aurora Friday regarding the slaying but later released him after he took a lie detector test. Chance had been arrested on a fugitive warrant for a traffic violation. Police chief Art Dill said the youth was questioned in Carpenter's death because his appearance resembled the rough description of one of two suspects in the case. District Attorney Dale Tooley said homicide detectives were pressing their investigation of the homicide, but had "no suspect against whom they expected to file charges." Officials believe Carpenter was kidnapped by his assailants prior to his death. Although there were no witnesses to the shooting, motorists reported seeing a cruiser in the vicinity with two young men accompanying the officer in the car. Keith said Carpenter is thought to have been stopped on the Denver-Boulder Turnpike at Broadway about 9 a.m. Carpenter, who had been with the patrol five years and was stationed in the Broomfield district, normally patrolled Interstate 25 north of Denver. State Patrol officers will act as pallbearers for the 1 p.m. Monday funeral at the Bethel Temple, with the Denver Police Department providing the color guard. Representatives of numerous other Colorado law enforcement agencies also are expected to be in attendance. Deputy Smith died in the backyard of the Otero home in an exchange of gunfire with James Nunnaley, 21, who La Junta police officials said had earlier in the day threatened to "kill a couple of cops." The deputy was able to return the fire before he died and hit Nunnaley, said police. Nunnaley never regained consciousness after the shooting and died in a Pueblo hospital. Funeral services for Smith are scheduled Monday in La Junta. Hanson, the Pueblo policeman unexpectedly walked into the middle of a holdup and was shot to death. The gunman also was killed when the patrolman's partner fired three shots through a plate glass window. Police Chief Bud Willoughby said Bernard Meehan, 19, of Pueblo, died 3 ½ hours after the incident at Parkview Hospital. Meehan, who never regained consciousness, was hit three times in the back. Willoughby said Hanson and his partner, Patrolman James Askay, 29, had driven up to a 7-11 store at 2 a.m. so that Hanson could buy a carton of milk. Askay remained outside in the car. Hanson walked in, found no one around and apparently was about to walk outside again when a gunman emerged from behind a counter and ordered him to lie on the floor. Authorities said Hanson may have made a move for his service revolver as the gunman approached him. The bandit then fired once, morally wounding the officer. Askay fired three times through a glass window at the gunman with each shot hitting its mark. Police said a second man apparently involved in the holdup drove away when he saw the officers. He drove to a nearby Catholic Church where he asked a priest for help, but fled on foot when the priest called police. The killings brought these comments Saturday from law officials in Colorado Springs: Dist. Atty. Bob Russel said, " State patrolmen are very susceptible as they usually stop people for traffic violations and are unaware of potential problems they may be confronting. Most police throughout the nation are in great danger when they are handling disturbance calls dealing with domestic relations which is what happened in La Junta." This of course also applies to the sheriff's office. Russel said that "in Colorado we have been lucky judging from national figures of officers who have been murdered." He added that he did not believe there was going to be a rash of police killings. Police Lt. Loren Downing said that the three shootings of law enforcement officers in the 48-hour period in the state was enough to make each officer take a second look at his actions for safety reasons. A bus load of Colorado Springs policemen is expected to attend the funerals of the officers in La Junta and Pueblo. At least a car load of off duty officers is expected to attend the funeral of the state patrol officer in Longmont, Downing said. Sergeant H. J. Schafer, El Paso County Sheriff Patrol Commander, said that his deputies have been briefed and alerted to begin taking extreme caution at all calls with major emphasis placed on caution taking when answering family disturbances. He said that the most crucial times of police killings are in the first seven seconds after an officer arrives at the scene, and in a 7 to 22 foot range.

She was employed by King Soopers for many years until her retirement in 1981. Neva loved people and loved to talk and share stories. She was eager to help people and went out of her way to nurture friendships and share her beautiful smile. Although she faced adversities, she always kept a positive attitude and when asked how she was, she would reply, I can't complain. She loved to tease and joke, and loved her family. While she lived in Colorado most of her life, she never lost her southern accent or charm. She valued family and friends above all else, and was inspiring to all of us who will miss her. She will be remembered for her positive spirit and loving nature. She loved the simple things and saw beauty all around her. Her philosophy seemed to be "Accept what people offer drink their milkshakes, feel their love." Our family would like to especially thank the exceptional people involved in caring for Neva: The ultimate friend and angel, Alana McAlpine, and her daughters Christina and Michelle, who lovingly cared for Neva for the past four years; the doctors and nurses at the Wound Care Center and Parkview Hospital; Dr. Kevin Johnson, Dr. Sunku, Dr. Settipani, Dr. Middleton, Dr. Steinle, Marie Fabjancic, Patricia King and Ed Schultz.

Carroll, James James Carroll Durango Democrat May 30, 1903 A Drop Too Much Former Pueblo Man Ground to Pieces on Railway Track Colorado Springs, May 29 A man was run over and killed this afternoon on the Midland railroad between here and Colorado City by an express train due here at 6:30. The man was literally ground to pieces, and why his companion who was walking on the track with him did not meet a similar fate seems almost a miracle, but he jumped to one side in time to save himself. From that man it is learned that the name of the dead man was James Carroll, and that he lived in Denver, was a cook and at one time had lived in Pueblo and was employed by a hotel there, but beyond this very little could be obtained from the man, as he was quite drunk. It is supposed they had both been drinking at Colorado City and had started to walk to Colorado Springs. Carroll, James H. James H. Carroll - Pueblo Chieftain - January 12, 1941 - James H.

Carrothers, Leo Bryan Leo Bryan Carrothers - Lake City Times 1900 Little Bryan Cruthers Is Gone - Last Friday night occurred the death of Leo Bryan Cruthers, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Cruthers, aged 2 years, 6 months and 13 days. The little fellow had been sick several days and the last day or two he suffered terribly, so that death came as a relief. The sight of his suffering was no less pitiful than the little still white form after the spirit had flown. Physicians and friends did all in their power to give relief, but it was not for them to give. Only those who have had a great sorrow themselves can fully sympathize with the bereaved parents. To the mother is the blow doubly hard, for it is but a few short weeks since she attended the funeral of her youngest brother. The little body was taken by the parents to Pueblo Sunday and the funeral was held Tuesday. [Submitter's note: Bryan Carrothers, born 1897 died 1900. Agnes Carrothers, daughter of John and Ida May (O'Brien) Carrothers was born 16 November 1888 in Clear Creek County, Colorado; she died of diphtheria on 1 Jan 1890 in Clear Creek County, Colorado. She is buried in Alvarado Cemetery, Georgetown, Clear Creek County, Colorado. Agnes Carrothers is buried in the Georgetown, Alvarado Cemetery in Clear Creek County, Colorado.] Carrow, Lieutenant Lieutenant Carrow Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain May 29, 1879 The cause of the suicide of Lieut. Carrow, of the regular army, who shot himself last week, at the Planters' house, has transpired. He was deeply in love with Miss Ella Sturgis, daughter of Lieut. Col. Sturgis, but her father did not fancy his attentions, and removed the young lady to St. Louis. Carrow's pride was hurt by this treatment, but he did not give up the suit. The sentiment of Miss Sturgis does not appear. He followed her to that city two weeks ago, and told a friend that he had gone to get a final answer to his offer of marriage. He was hopeful, too, and was unusually jovial in several social gatherings. One evening he led the german with Miss Sturgis, and embraced the opportunity to plead his case. She told him that she would send him a letter the next day. She kept her promise by a written refusal. Carruth, Mary G. Mary G. Carruth - Pueblo Chieftain - May 30, 2006 - Mary G. Carruth.

Carson, Kit General Kit Carson - Colorado Chieftain Weekly June 1, 1868 Death of Kit Carson - The melancholy intelligence reaches us that Gen. Kit Carson is no more. He died at his residence on the Las Animas, on the 24th inst., of disease of the heart. General Carson was a Kentuckian by birth, removed early in life to the State of Missouri, and while yet a mere boy became a wanderer on the vast plains of the then unknown regions of the West. From about the age of seventeen years until fifty, he lived the life of a hunter, trader and trapper. He early explored and became familiar with the mountains and plains from the Missouri to the Pacific ocean. During all those years of his wild life, he was constantly exposed to every hardship and danger. Sometimes making his home with some tribe of the Indians and assisting them in their wars against other tribes. Sometimes employed as a trapper by some mountain trader - sometimes trading on his own account between New Mexico and California. His home was always the wilderness, and danger was his constant companion. Unaided by the advantages of education or patronage, by the force of indomitable energy and will, by chivalrous courage, by tireless labor and self-denial he rose step by step until his name had become as familiar to the American people as a household word. He stood pre-eminent among the path-finders and founders of empire in the Great West, and his long career, ennobled by hardship and danger, is unsullied by the record of a littleness or meanness. He was nature's model of a gentleman. Kindly of heart, tolerant to all men, good in virtues of disposition rather than great in qualities of mind, he has passed away - dying as through his life-long he had lived - in peace and charity with all men, and leaving behind him a name and memory to be cherished by his countrymen so long as modesty, valor, unobtrusive worth, charity and true chivalry survive among men. Of his precise age we are not advised, but judge he was very near sixty years of age. He leaves children of a tender age to mourn his loss. Golden Colorado Transcript June 3, 1868 Death of Kit Carson. "Kit Carson," of our boyhood days, General Carson of our later years, was truly a representative man. In our childhood we were charmed with the tales of his romantic career, and in our mature years we have looked upon him as one of the links "which bound us to the days when the great West was an unknown wild." A correspondent of the News thus announces his death: Fort Lyon, C. T., May 23, 1868. Eds. News: - General Kit Carson died at this post between the hours of four and five o'clock, afternoon, this day, from disease of the heart, under which he has been laboring since his return from the East. He had been removed to the post some ten days since, so that Dr. Tilton, the post surgeon, could give him better attention than if he remained at his brother-in-law's, Mr. Boggs', some five miles distant. Thus is announced the departure of an American citizen of pre-eminent worth and usefulness. His age, sixty-five years. The retrospect of his native life embraces the origin and growth of a scheme of empire, novel to human history. The individuality of the pioneer is in him especially embodied and illustrated. His childhood was passed in Booslick, Missouri. He was reared in the small family group which surrounded the death-bed of Daniel Boone. Departing from these associations at the delicate age of seventeen, he plunged into the immense wilderness of continent and ocean, then extending in unruffled silence from the Mississippi river to the China shore. With books and their contents he was little or not at all acquainted. In the fresh teachings of nature and her inspiring instincts he was profoundly instructed. Action, stirring, uninterrupted, and telling in prodigious results, has absorbed his well spent life. What stupendous metamorphic changes have passed under his eye, succeeding one another in the solitudes. Successively have appeared the hunters, the bee hunters, the trappers for beavers and furs. The earliest pioneers of progress adventuring out into the wilderness, were absorbed by curiosity and enthusiasm, and blinded to all other impulses, as one who should recklessly embark to cross the ocean in a frail canoe. Their successors have been the redoubtable masters of the rifle with a walnut, stock, exquisitely refined in accuracy of eye, nerve, miraculous fortitude, and indomitable endurance. Successively have come the Indian traders, the agriculturalists, the guerilla settlers, the miners, the explorers, and the founders and architects of society. Of all this scenic panorama of events, Carson has been the animating and oracular chief in the field. The immense area of the continent is spotted over with the scenes of desperate conflicts, of which he has been the heroic and successful leader. Over what an immense expense of plains, of snow clad sierras, of rivers, of lakes, and seas, has he cut out the first paths, into which now the locomotives, the steamships, the organized two halves of human society, are massing the activity, the power, the condensed energy of ancient and of modern times? To his companions Carson has always been known as the most genial and excellent of men of sleepless activity wherever a charitable act has been within his reach. Daring, devoted, and sincere, his fidelity has been unblemished in every hour of his life, and in every relation. Citizen, soldier, husband, father, neighbor in all these relations his guiding instinct has been an innate chivalry, fro the practice of which nothing has ever deflected him. He had in him a personal courage which came forth when wanted, like lightning from a cloud at other times unobtrusive and unnoticed. He has always been identified with Colorado, and has resided and died among us. The best of husbands and fathers, his family was a shining example of domestic love and happiness. His children, four sons and a daughter, all under fifteen years of age, are orphans worthy of their parents, and wards of the American people.

Caruth, Mr. Mr. Caruth Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain November 18, 1875 The Landis-Caruth affair at Vineland, has been brought into fresh prominence by the death of Caruth. Landis is again in jail, and a trial will result, one of the most interesting in criminal history. The question to be determined is whether the shooting caused his death, and if so, whether so rapidly as to establish a high grade of crime against Landis. The physician who made the post mortem examination does not state his opinion as to whether the shooting was the real, or even remote cause of Caruth's death. The coroner's jury declares that the shooting did cause his death, and on this verdict Landis will be arraigned for taking the man's life. It will afford an excellent opportunity for able lawyers to make reputation this trial of Landis.

Twenty coffins have been ordered by the company from a local undertaking establishment. Two of the dead are Frank Hobat, miner, and R. J. Lumbey, fire boss. The names of the other men killed have not been learned, as the shift boss, who had charge of the men who went into the mine last night, is missing. All the men except Lumley were foreigners, most of them being Italians. The explosion stopped the air fan, which was not repaired until late today, and there is little chance that any of the men in the mine at the time of the explosion are still alive. District Superintendent Robert O'Neil is personally directing the work of rescue. Volunteers from adjacent mines are assisting. Rescuers have been divided into two hour shifts and work will be kept up continuously until the entire mine is explored. During the entire day excitement ran high and relatives of the entombed miners stood waiting at the entrance to the mine for a sight of any of the victims that might be brought to the surface. The damage to the mine cannot be learned tonight. An attempt is being made to force air into the mine in the hope that some of the entombed men may be alive, and thus prevent their suffocating. Late advices are that the mine is badly wrecked. The rescue party has penetrated three hundred feet and recovered four bodies, the names not being given. Reno Evening Gazette, Reno, NV- Jan 24, 1907 - Trinidad, Colo., January 24, 1907 - Heroically at work the rescuing party has so far succeeded in recovering but four bodies from the Primero Mine where the explosion occurred yesterday morning.

The only known victim of the flood was William Cassidy, 53 years old, a zinc smelter employee. His body was found on an island opposite the Claypool ranch, two miles east of the city limits. The body was brought to Pueblo, and was identified by William Huyser, a friend of the dead man. Railroad traffic in and out of Pueblo is tied up.

Castillo, Shaun Shaun Castillo Colorado Springs Gazette November 19, 1996 Five Face Trial in Slaying of Trinidad Teen Trinidad Five Colorado Springs residents four of them teen-agers will stand trial on murder and robbery charges in the strangulation murder of a Trinidad teen-ager and the theft of his Chevrolet Blazer. Shaun Castillo, 18, vanished the night of Oct. 1. His body was found three days later in a stream on the Colorado side of Raton Pass; his car was found Oct. 3 in Las Vegas, where all five suspects were arrested. The suspects are Daniel Martin Hansen, 22; Robert Scott Davis, 18; Larry David Lucas, 16; and Michael Cantrell, 17. A fifth suspect, Theresa Coombs, 17, waived her right to a preliminary hearing. The three juveniles are charged as adults. At Monday's preliminary hearing, Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Dave Sadar testified that two witnesses saw the five suspects contact Castillo on Oct. 1 and saw them climbing into his car. Testimony by other investigators said all five suspects revealed details of the crime during police interrogations. Trinidad detective Ralph Gilardi said Hansen told him that Davis hit Castillo over the head with a flashlight and then put him in a choke hold. Investigator Bill Sneed said Davis accused Hansen of choking Castillo and helping to drag him to the stream. The investigators testified that the five suspects said they did not intend to kill Castillo, but wanted his vehicle. El Paso County Coroner David Bowerman said the autopsy on Castillo showed death from asphyxiation "consistent with manual strangulation" and drowning. Dec. 4 is the next court date for Hansen, Davis, Cantrell, and Lucas. Coombs is scheduled to appear Nov. 27. The five are being held in lieu of bail ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 each. Colorado Springs Gazette June 14, 1997 Springs Teen Convicted in Murder of Trinidad Student Pueblo A Colorado Springs teen-ager was convicted Monday in the murder of a Trinidad high school student. Larry David Lucas, who was 16 at the time, was charged as an adult in the asphyxiation death of 18-year-old Shaun Castillo. A Pueblo District Court jury found Lucas guilty of first-degree murder and robbery. He will be sentenced Aug. 5. Authorities believe Lucas and four other Colorado Springs youths approached Castillo on the night of Oct. 1 to seek a ride or steal his vehicle. Castillo's body was found near Raton Pass on Oct. 4. His car was recovered in Las Vegas, where the suspects were arrested about a week later. The trial of co-defendant Daniel Hansen is set for July 14. The other three youths have already pleaded guilty to various charges. Colorado Springs Gazette July 16, 1997 Last Trial Begins in Trinidad Killing Man Allegedly Led Springs Gang Alamosa A Colorado Springs gang, led by Daniel Hansen, stole a computer in Walsenburg, beat a Trinidad teen to death, and stole his vehicle last October, prosecutors said Tuesday. Hansen, 22, did all the talking for the gang of five Springs young people, Trinidad District Attorney Glen Davis told an Alamosa jury in opening statements. Hansen is on trial for first-degree murder in the beating death and robbery last Oct. 1 of 18-year-old Shaun Castillo of Trinidad. If convicted, Hansen could face life imprisonment. The trial was moved to Alamosa because of pretrial publicity and fear Hansen couldn't get a fair trial. Hansen, dressed in a blue oxford shirt and navy pants, talked frequently with his court-appointed attorney, Lee Hawke. But the defense presented no opening statement. Davis told the jury the group wanted to go to California or Canada, but had little money. "You will hear testimony that this journey was financed through crime," Davis said. He said Hansen admitted to police that he and his gang broke into a house in Walsenburg, stole a laptop computer, and hitched a ride to Trinidad. They later used the computer to attract Castillo's attention. Hansen, the oldest in the group, was the leader, Davis said. "One person did all of the talking. When the group needed something, one man got it for them. It was Daniel Hansen," Davis said. The group was trying to sell the computer to get money for their journey. Castillo was one of the people they made their sales pitch to. At some point in the evening, Castillo agreed to give the scruffy group a ride. Four days later, his badly beaten body was found floating in a creek on Raton Pass, near the Colorado-New Mexico border. Davis said he was strangled and drowned. Two of Castillo's prized possessions, his 1984 Chevy Blazer and his 1997 class ring, were missing. Within 10 days, police arrested Hansen and the four others in Las Vegas. The Blazer was found abandoned and smashed. One of the five was wearing his class ring. "The journey of Shaun Castillo was infinitely longer than the one Daniel Hansen took," Davis said. Castillo's parents sat in the front row of the courtroom Tuesday. But the details were too overwhelming for Shaun's mother, Marilyn, and she had to leave the courtroom. Kirk Weaver and Chris Berry testified that they met Hansen and the other four in Trinidad. They said Hansen and the gang tried to sell them the stolen laptop and asked for a ride. While they spoke with Hansen and the gang, Shaun Castillo drove past, Weaver said. Knowing Castillo was an honor student and college-bound, Weaver suggested Hansen and his group talk to him about the computer. They flagged down Castillo and later saw the group piling in his Blazer. Also testifying Tuesday was Castillo's uncle, Al Trujillo, who was the supervising state trooper on the crime. He had the grisly duty of identifying his nephew's body when it was found in the creek. When he got to the scene, he saw Castillo's smashed glasses. After identifying the victim, Trujillo turned the scene over to other officers. "I was no longer the supervisor. I was Shaun's uncle, "Trujillo said. When prosecutors showed the jury a large photo of Shaun Castillo shown flashing his class ring, a graduation present from his parents, the victim's father, Ray, could not hold back tears. Testimony will resume today. The trial is expected to last through Friday. Hansen is the last of the group to face trial. This is what happened to the other four: Larry Lucas, 16, was convicted June 9 of first-degree murder and robbery. He will be sentenced Aug. 5 and faces life in prison. Michael Cantrell, 17, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. He faced a 96-year sentence, but has withdrawn his plea. Robert Davis, 18, accepted a plea of second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, and motor vehicle theft. He received 104 years in prison. Theresa Coombs, 17, who allegedly stayed in the truck while the beating took place, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery. She is to be sentenced next week and likely will be released for time served. Colorado Springs Gazette August 6, 1997 Teen Sentenced For Role in '96 Trinidad Murder A Colorado Springs teen will spend the rest of his life behind bars for his part in the killing of a Trinidad youth, a Pueblo judge said Tuesday. Larry David Lucas was convicted of first-degree murder and robbery June 9 in Pueblo District Court for his part in the death of Shaun Castillo, 18, on Oct. 1, 1996. Lucas, 16 at the time, was hitchhiking to Las Vegas with four other young people from Colorado Springs when they got stranded in Trinidad. They hatched a plan to jump the first person they could flag down and steal a car. That happened to be Castillo, a high school senior just getting off work at the Dairy Queen. About eight miles south of Trinidad, on an exit off Raton Pass, Castillo parked his 1984 Blazer and he and the four young men in the group walked into a railroad tunnel. There, according to prosecutors and court testimony, the four men beat Castillo. The Trinidad youth died, Lucas later told authorities, when Robert Scott Davis choked him. The four left Castillo floating in a shallow creek that runs behind the railroad tunnel. A fifth Springs teen, 17-year-old Theresa Coombs, stayed in Castillo's Blazer during the beating. The four-wheel drive, Castillo's pride and joy according to his parents, was found abandoned and battered on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Within days, the youths were arrested; one of the men, according to prosecutors, was wearing Castillo's high school ring. The crime shocked Trinidad, a town of 10,000 people, many of whom have known each other since grade school. And the death of their only child devastated Ray and Marilyn Castillo. After Christmas - their son's favorite holiday the couple decided to leave Christmas lights up and turn them on every Friday night until the last of the teens accused in their son's death was punished. Colorado Springs Gazette October 3, 1997 Fifth Springs Youth Sentenced in Death of Trinidad Teen Trinidad - Michael Cantrell, 18, the fifth and last person sentenced for a Trinidad teen-ager's death a year ago, has been given 96 years in prison. The sentence was announced Wednesday by District Judge Jesse Manzanares. As part of a plea bargain, Cantrell had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping charges stemming from Shaun Castillo's death one year earlier to the day. Cantrell was one of five Colorado Springs youths who pleaded guilty or were convicted in Castillo's murder. Castillo, 18, was killed on Oct. 1, 1996, near Trinidad and his body was found three days later near the top of Raton Pass.

Cater, George George Cater - Colorado Daily Chieftain - June 12, 1873 - The Tent Spring Tragedy - Statement of Mr. James Madden. With a desire to do justice to everybody, which has always been a characteristic of the Chieftain, we yesterday sent a special reporter to interview Mr. Madden, who is now confined in the county jail in this city, and obtain his version of the recent Tent Springs tragedy. Mr. Madden says that the affair originated out of the transfer of a lot of sheep belonging to Stebbins & Cater to himself and his partner, Mr. Duncan, in exchange for a spring known as the Benton Spring; that Mr. Stebbins had never claimed the spring, not even camped at it, but held another known as the Prairie Spring, at which place he had an unfinished stone house. The spring for which the sheep were paid was originally taken up by a man named Benton, who left the country, and Messrs. Madden and Duncan then occupied the place. Mr. Madden gave also, in exchange for the sheep, a spring called the Dripping Spring, of which he was the first and sole claimant, and also a receipt for about one hundred dollars due from Mr. Stebbins to him for wages. This sale was made on the 25th or 26th of May. The reason Mr. Cater gave for not making any disturbance about the trade was, that he could not make Messrs. Madden and Duncan give possession of the springs, unless they (were) willing to do so. On the first of June, Messrs. Madden and Duncan having no team of their own, Mr. Cater moved their effects to the place at present occupied by them, and used some very rough language saying that he was determined to have the sheep back somehow. On the 2nd of June Mr. Madden came to Pueblo to get provisions and lumber, and during his absence Mr. Cater returned to Messrs. Madden and Duncan's ranch, and said that he had been consulting the neighbors, and that there was to be a meeting of the vigilance committee at a place near by for the purpose of taking the matter into consideration. He also said that if those sheep were not given up, by the aid of the law or the vigilance committee, which he thought very doubtful, he would come and make a quarrel, and he would kill one of the party or they would kill him. He also said that he had been to the Cucharas, and asked Mr. Bragg to sign some paper relating to the matter, and that Mr. B. had refused, saying he knew Mr. Madden, and had nothing against him. Mr. Cater also told Duncan that he must sign a paper giving up his share of the sheep, or he wouldn't answer for the consequences; and that if he did sign the paper, he (Duncan) would not be molested. Duncan, being almost a stranger in the country, signed the paper, fearing that he would be taken out and hanged if he refused. On Mr. Madden's return, on Thursday, he was informed of what had been going on (in) his absence, and was so much alarmed that he left the ranch and did not return until next evening. On Friday morning Mr. Cater came looking for Mr. Madden, and was informed by Mr. Duncan that he was not at home. Mr. Cater then rode up and down, looking about him, and told Mr. Duncan that he thought Mr. Madden was somewhere in the neighborhood hiding away sheep. This Mr. D. denied, and Mr. Cater then said: "When a man is in my state of mind, his worst thoughts are always uppermost. As for Madden, I have no mercy or pity -- he is a d--n son of a b---h." He then left, but returned in the evening, and agreed to receive Mr. Duncan's sheep on Saturday morning, at a point about a mile and a half below the ranch. Mr. Madden was well satisfied with this arrangement, as it would prevent a meeting between him and Mr. Cater, and he (Madden) feared that Cater would do him some injury. On the next morning, the sheep were corralled ready for delivery, and Mr. Madden observed Mr. Cater riding up towards the corral. He immediately sent Mr. Duncan to tell him not to come up there, and also that he, (Madden) would not return his share of the sheep, unless compelled to do so by law. Mr. Cater then sent word to Madden that he would come back to see him about twelve o'clock that day. About the time mentioned, Madden was sitting inside of his cabin door, and observed Messrs. Cater and Creighton, who came riding up within a distance of one hundred and fifty yards of the house, where they dismounted. Cater then advanced a few steps, and then turned back to Creighton and said a few words to him, which were inaudible to Madden. He again started towards the house, and as he came, moved his pistol around on his belt. Madden's fears were excited, and he called out, "That's close enough, stop." Cater then drew his pistol and ran into the arroya between him and the house, and came out at the other side, pistol in hand, still advancing. Madden called twice to him to stop or he would shoot, and the deceased still advanced, and the fatal shot was fired. After Cater was shot, he staggered to one side, with the pistol still in his hand, and Madden, thinking he was only slightly hurt, call(ed) to him to put down the pistol or he would shoot again. Mr. Cater then rolled into the arroyo, and Mr. Madden, thinking he was badly wounded, sent Mr. Duncan to his aid, saying that he would go and give himself up to the authorities, and immediately left the place. Mr. Madden deeply regrets the killing of the deceased, and says that he aimed low, with the intention of preventing Mr. Cater from coming nearer, fearing that he himself would be killed. Mr. Madden also states, in relation to the sheep transaction, that he has met Mr. Stebbens frequently since the trade, and that that gentleman has never given the slightest intimation that he considered the transaction anything else than a fair trade. He also says that Mr. Cater had stated that Mr. Stebbins had given him (Cater) credit for $500 on the books of the firm for his (Cater's) share of the sheep paid Madden and Duncan. After the sheep were turned over to Messrs. Madden & Duncan, Mr. Stebbins offered Mr. Madden $1000 instead of the sheep, which Mr. Madden refused, saying that if he had the money, he would buy sheep with it. Should Mr. Madden be able to prove what he says he can with reference to this sad affair, it will place the matter in altogether another light.

Caveness, William William Caveness Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain December 20, 1877 The Arizona Miner contains the following with reference to William Caveness, well known in Southern Colorado: "Governor Hoyt, last evening received a telegram from C. E. Cooley, deputy United States marshal at Camp Apache, informing him of the hanging of two desperados on the Little Colorado. Cooley went with a detachment of soldiers to Springerville, and arrested William Snider, alias Bill Caveness, and E. M. Overstreet, and as their offence was a territorial one, he turned them over to William Milligan, deputy sheriff, to bring them to Prescott to jail. After Cooley had left Springerville with the soldiers, a mob arose and took the prisoners from Milligan, and, in the language of the telegram, disposed of them according to frontier law, which we presume means that they hung them. District Attorney Paul Webber received a similar telegram.

Centers, Ella Ella Centers -Telluride Daily Journal - June 2, 1922 - Two Murdered When Jealous Suitor Shoots - Mine Watchman Kills His Rival in Home of the Girl - Uses a Shot Gun - Girl Flees but Her Head Is Blown Off by Pursuer - Trinidad, Colo., June 2 - Ella Centers, aged 25, and Wilbur Ferguson were foully murdered here last night by Joseph McGonigal, a jealous suitor. Miss Centers, the daughter of the boarding house keeper at the Royal mine, was in her home last night with Ferguson, who was writing a letter. McGonigal, a watchman at the Jewel mine, entered the house and shot Ferguson, who died immediately. The Centers girl fled, but was pursued by McGonigal who blew her head off with a shot gun. It is believed that the shooting took place over the hand of Miss Centers. Ferguson, of Saco, Maine, and a student in the School of Mines, was a temporary watchman at the Royal mine and boarded at the Centers' home. Miss Centers accepted the attentions of Ferguson and this made McGonigal furiously jealous and the double killing resulted. Immediately after the shooting McGonigal was arrested. It was found that he had a bullet wound in his foot, but this wound is believed to have been self-inflicted. Golden Colorado Transcript - June 8, 1922 - Popular Mines Student Murdered at Coal Camp - Wilbur Ferguson, prominent athlete and one of the most popular students of the School of Mines, was shot and instantly killed at Aguilar last Thursday by Joe McGonigal, a watchman. The shooting occurred in the dining room of the mine boarding house where Ferguson was sitting at a table writing. J. C. Williams, master of the Golden Masonic lodge, of which order Ferguson was a member, made a trip to Aguilar last Saturday to get the correct information concerning the murder, and found that the shooting of young Ferguson was a cold blooded affair and without provocation. On Thursday morning Ferguson was in the dining room writing a letter to his mother. McGonigal suddenly entered the room, carrying a sawed-off shotgun. He ordered Ferguson to get out of the house. Ferguson looked up from his writing, but made no move to arise from his chair, and with that McGonigal drew down on him with the gun and fired. The charge of buckshot entered Ferguson's chest. When McGonigal first entered the dining room, Ella Centers, daughter of the boarding house keeper, and with whom McGonigal was infatuated, was at work in a pantry adjoining the dining room. Another girl was with her. Just before the shot was fired the Centers girl rushed into the room, apparently with the idea of preventing the shooting. When Ferguson fell the girl rushed out of the house and into a deep arroyo, McGonigal running after her. McGonigal ran along the edge of the gulch and finally got just above the girl. She fell on her knees and pleaded with him to spare her life, but, taking slow and deliberate aim at her, he fired, killing the girl instantly. Several men working on a bridge nearby were witnesses to this killing. After shooting the girl, McGonigal fled to his own room in the boarding house and fired several shots from a revolver into his hat brim. He then sent a bullet into his foot and went into the room where Ferguson was lying. He placed the revolver about (?) Ferguson and then threw himself on the floor, pretending to be unconscious. State rangers entered the house and found the killer in that position. He was yanked to his feet, and the only thing he would say when questioned as to his motive in killing Ferguson and the girl was "Dead men tell no tales." Ferguson's right hand still grasped the fountain pen with which he had been writing, showing that there had been no fight. McGonigal had been known in the coal camp for some time as an all around bad man. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict Saturday to the effect that the killing was premeditated and felonious. Young Ferguson left Golden soon after school closed to take a job as watchman at the Royal mine at Aguilar, planning in this way to earn money to aid him in completing his college course. The Royal mine is owned by the National Fuel Company and officers of that company told Mr. Williams Sunday that Ferguson had so impressed them that a much better position was being prepared for him. Ferguson was one of the most popular men in the School of Mines, and was a favorite with students, faculty members and townspeople in general and his untimely death has brought great sorrow to this community. During the war Ferguson enlisted in Maine and served overseas in a machine gun company. After returning from France he came to Golden and entered the School of Mines as a freshman. He became a general favorite at once, and was elected president of the freshman class. He took a prominent part in athletics and all student activities and last fall was one of the mainstays of the Mines football team. He had been elected president of next year's junior class. He was a member of the Masonic order and of the local chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Ferguson, live in Saco, Maine, and he also leaves one brother. The body was taken to Denver and services were held at the Olinger mortuary yesterday morning, being attended by many lodge and fraternity brothers of the deceased, as well as many other friends. The remains have been shipped to the home in Maine for interment. Centner, William O. William O. Centner - Pueblo Chieftain - September 11, 1997 - William O.

She was born in the year 1845, sixth month and 14th day. Her parents, both residents of Wales, were John and Mary Anne Phillips. While her parents were Calvinistic Methodist, yet her childhood up to age was more particularly under the instruction of the Episcopal church of England. About five years before her death she obtained a clear evidence of her acceptance with God and was able to claim Christ as her personal Savior. During all those five years she testified in spirit, in word and walk that she was redeemed from a life of sin and identified with all who loved the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who knew her best can witness to her earnest devotion to all the interests of Christianity. She was married to Rev. Adam Chambers, on the 2nd day of April 1874. Fourteen weeks before her death the lovely babe that brightened her home for two months was born. As a flower it bloomed, then faded to re-expand and bloom in the paradise of God forever. The painful and protracted affliction of Sister Chambers was endured with all that calm spirit of patience that bespoke a soul fully and sweetly resigned to the sovereign will of God. As a wife, she was affectionate, gentle and prudent. As a neighbor she was companionable, affable and sweet. In all these relations, she will be greatly missed. Her bereaved husband has the sympathy and prayers of all his Christian brethren and friends. Chambers, Eva W. Eva W. Chambers - Pueblo Chieftain - November 08, 1999 - Eva W.

Chance, David David Chance - The Denver Post - October 30, 2007 - Pueblo Cabbie Shot Dead; 2 Flee Scene - A Pueblo cab driver was shot dead early this morning, and two men were seen running from his cab, police said. The shooting happened at about 1:35 a.m. in the 1500 block of 11th Street, Pueblo police said in a press release. Police identified the victim as 51-year-old David Chance, a driver for City Cab. Witnesses told investigators they saw two men running from the cab after the shooting. The investigation is ongoing, and no suspects have been taken into custody, said police Sgt. Elias Manzanares. There have not been any recent shooting deaths of cab drivers in Pueblo, Manzanares said. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Detective Don Litton at 719-553-2533 or Crime Stoppers at 719-542-7867. The Denver Post - October 31, 2007 - Pueblo Mom, Cabbie Slain in Unrelated Shootings - Pueblo police are hunting for two suspects in connection with the shooting death of a 51-year-old cab driver early Tuesday, and have arrested a man in the death of his 86-year-old mother, who was shot outside her home late Monday. The two homicides are unrelated. Co-workers of the cab driver described the victim as a polite, hard-working cabbie. The shooting happened about 1:35 a.m. Tuesday in the 1500 block of East 11th Street, Pueblo police said. Police identified the victim as 51-year-old David Chance, a driver for City Cab. "He was just a real nice guy and I can't see any reason as to why this would happen," said Glen Nading, a dispatcher with City Cab. Witnesses told investigators they saw two men running from the cab after the shooting. The investigation is ongoing and no suspects have been taken into custody, said police Sgt. Elias Manzanares. Chance was originally from Michigan and had been working at the cab company for four years, Nading said. Nading said Chance is survived by a wife and two children. Contributions to the David Chance Memorial Fund can be made at any US Bank branch in Colorado. The Pueblo Chieftain - October 31, 2007 - Police Continue Search in Cabby Slaying - Pueblo police on Tuesday were busy investigating two unrelated homicides, one which netted an arrest and the other that had officers on the hunt for two suspects. Detectives were investigating the death of 51-year-old taxi driver David Chance, who was shot in the head after dropping off two customers at 1525 E. 11th St. Witnesses said they saw two males between the ages of 17 and 21 run from the scene. The suspects ran east on 11th Street and south on Ogden Avenue. Officer Daniel Pratt said the cab's right rear passenger door was left open. The suspects wore dark-colored hooded sweatshirts and white T-shirts. Police reports indicate the suspects were picked up from apartments in the 4000 block of O'Neal Avenue, where investigators recovered beer cans and phone cards from a telephone booth. The address Chance was killed at was "the address the cab was called to go to," said Sgt. Eli Manzanares of the Pueblo Police Department's investigation unit. "That was the address he was to deliver his fare." According to Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer, Chance was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:36 a.m. Manzanares wouldn't say if Chance had been robbed or if anything was missing from the cab. Manzanares also wouldn't discuss their evidence, but a police report said possible shotgun wadding was recovered at the scene. Anyone with information about the case can make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers, 542-7867, or can call Detective Don Litton at 553-2533. Chance had worked about four years for City Cab, according to a company spokesman. The David Chance Memorial Fund has been set up to help the family with funeral costs. Donations may be made at all U.S. Bank locations. According to Pueblo Chieftain archives, a man was given the death penalty for killing a part-time City Cab driver in March 1960. John Bizup Jr., 26, was executed after confessing to the robbery-slaying of 24-year-old Roy D. Bussey (Bussey was robbed of $22). In August 1964, Bizup died in a gas chamber at Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City. The deaths of Mary Avery and Chance are Pueblo's sixth and seventh homicides of the year. Pueblo Chieftain - November 1, 2007 - Cabby Likely Slain For a $17 Fare - In the world of taxi drivers, a "skip" is when a passenger steals a ride, or leaves without paying the fare. Cabdriver David Chance was skipped for more than money early Tuesday. The 51-year-old father of three and grandfather of two was shot in the head, possibly with a shotgun, after dropping off two customers on the East Side. "This is what we call a skip gone bad," George Kirby, Chance's boss at City Cab, said Wednesday. "It was a botched skip. We haul the good, the bad and the ugly. Almost everyone in Pueblo's great. I love the people of Pueblo, but this was premeditated, cold-blooded murder." The cost of his last fare? "The meter read $17," Kirby said. Pueblo police continued investigating Chance's death Wednesday without making any arrests. Detective Don Litton, lead investigator in the case, said: "We've got a couple people of interest in this case, but I can't go into that right now." He said the investigation is still centering on two male suspects, ages 17 to 21, that were seen leaving the cab at the time of the incident. Nothing has been reported missing from the cab. The suspects were picked up from the 4000 block of O'Neal Avenue. Chance was pronounced dead at 1:36 a.m., in his taxi parked in the driveway of 1525 E. 11th St. Litton said the resident there didn't know why anyone would've gone to his home at that hour. "Did (the suspects) just pull that address out of a hat? It's one of those unanswered questions," he said. Anyone with information about the case can call Crime Stoppers, 542-7867, or Litton at 553-2533. The David Chance Memorial Fund has been set up at all U.S. Bank locations to help Chance's family and for funeral costs. Chance had worked full-time for City Cab since September 2004. His co-workers described him as polite, dependable, a good driver and a solid employee. "It's a very sad and unfortunate time for City Cab," Kirby said, who's co-owned the company for more than 30 years. "I'll certainly miss Dave and so will the cab company." Patricia Hill, family spokeswoman, said Chance's wife of 23 years, Darla, and the rest of the family are still in shock and taking the loss in stride. "It's such a shame that it was okay to take someone's husband, somebody's father, somebody's son," Hill said. "I can't comprehend it. It's so stupid, heartless and cruel to do that. They just had to run, they didn't have to shoot him. (Chance) loved his family, his wife and his children. Life was a struggle and he was trying - trying to make the best of things out of the hand he was dealt. Of all the things he did best, his children were the best things he left behind." A cabdriver transports a variety of colorful passengers - sober, drunk, sad, happy, obnoxious - which makes an interesting and dangerous occupation. "I've had drivers tell me 'It's the best job I've had. You meet someone different every 15 minutes,' " Kirby said. "But I tell my drivers - every customer you haul can be a potentially dangerous person." Cab No. 3, Chance's cab, will be retired in his memory. Pueblo Chieftain - November 2, 2007 - Police Continue Hunt for Cabdriver Killers - Pueblo police were still searching Thursday for suspects - and possible accomplices, the first public mention of more than two people involved - to the early Tuesday morning slaying of a City Cab driver. Detective Don Litton said Thursday police have made no arrests in connection with the shooting death of 51-year-old David Chance, 51, who was found dead in his cab after dropping off two customers at an East Side home. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer confirmed Thursday that Chance died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head. "We have some good evidence and information coming in constantly," Litton said. "Whoever did this wasn't careful. They left a good trail." Litton said the investigation has been centering on two males, between the ages of 17 and 21, who were seen leaving the cab at the time of the incident. The suspects were picked up by Chance in the 4000 block of O'Neil Avenue on the South Side and were taken to a home at 1525 E. 11th St. It was in front of that address that police found Chance shot to death in his cab at about 1:36 a.m. Tuesday. Police believe that Chance was shot after the suspects failed to pay the $17 fare. Litton said although information is coming in on the case, he urged anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or unusual in the early morning hours of Tuesday to contact police. "We're asking that anybody who saw these people running through the neighborhoods or anyone who may have gotten a good look at them, any suspicious vehicles they saw in the area, please call the police," Litton said. Litton said although the investigation is focusing on the two individuals who took the cab ride, he said police are certain there are others involved. "Based on the evidence, it's looking like there are several more people involved as accomplices," he said. Litton said police have not recovered a weapon. Pueblo Chieftain - November 11, 2007 - Arrests Made in Cab Driver Slaying - More Arrests Could Result as the Investigation Continues, Pueblo Police Say - Three teenagers, two of whom are brother and sister, have been arrested in connection to the Oct. 30 shotgun slaying of a Pueblo cab driver. Maximo Daniel Ramos, 19, and 16-year-old Raymond Guy Terrones each were re-arrested Friday on a warrant for first-degree murder. Ramos and Terrones initially were arrested later in the day of the homicide on separate unrelated charges and have been in custody ever since. Both were being held Saturday in lieu of $1 million bail. On Saturday at her job, Pueblo police arrested Terrones' sister, 19-year-old Bridget Ann Terrones, on a warrant for accessory to the crime of first-degree murder. She was being held in jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Pueblo Deputy Police Chief John Ercul and Capt. John Barger said additional arrests could come as the investigation continues. "We do have evidence that other people are involved," Ercul said. Affidavits in the case have been sealed until the investigation is completed, according to investigators and District Attorney Bill Thiebaut. Asked about whether the juvenile will be charged as an adult, Thiebaut said: "All options are available depending on the outcome of evidence." Barger said detectives have not found the homicide weapon, described as a short shotgun, that was used to kill 51-year-old City Cab driver David Chance. Chance was shot in the back of the head about 1:30 a.m. in the driveway of an East Side home, where Ramos' father lives. Before the shooting, Chance picked up Ramos and Raymond Terrones at apartments in the 4000 block of O'Neal Avenue, according to police. Investigators and the victim's co-workers say possible motives might have been attempted robbery or the suspects' unwillingness to pay the fare, which was $17. Investigators declined to identify who is the suspected shooter. In Colorado, a person who accompanies the suspected killer can be charged with first-degree murder when a slaying occurs during a robbery. Pueblo Chieftain - November 14, 2007 - Two More Arrested in Cabby's Death - Police arrested two more suspects Tuesday in connection with the Oct. 30 shooting death of a Pueblo cabbie. One of the suspects nabbed Tuesday is the grandson of the district attorney's chief investigator. Olin Ferrier, 21, and Matthew J. Koncilja, 24, were booked at county jail on warrants for first-degree murder related to the death of 51-year-old David Chance. Koncilja's grandfather, John Koncilja Jr., is the chief investigator under District Attorney Bill Thiebaut. Thiebaut said his office will seek a prosecutor from an outside jurisdiction to handle the case because of the conflict of interest. "Obviously, this is a critical case to our community and to our office,' Thiebaut said. "We learned of Mr. Koncilja's alleged involvement (Tuesday). At that moment, we began undertaking steps to have a special prosecutor enter the case at the proper time. Ethical considerations demand that we do so. We have no choice. We are approaching the situation carefully, working to secure a highly competent special prosecutor who will handle the case in as sterling a fashion as our office would.' The arrests of Ferrier and Koncilja were the fourth and fifth related to the slaying of Chance. Last week police arrested 19-year-old Maximo Daniel Ramos and 16-year-old Raymond Guy Terrones on first-degree murder charges in connection with the shooting that killed Chance. Terrones' sister, 19-year-old Bridget Ann Terrones was booked on suspicion of being an accessory to the murder after the fact. Pueblo Deputy Police Chief John Ercul said at least one more person suspected of direct involvement in the crime and one more suspected accessory could be arrested in the days ahead. Ercul said the accessories are suspected of hiding evidence and harboring suspects. Police have not publicly identified the suspected shooter. Chance died from a single shotgun blast to the back of the head. He was found dead at 1:30 a.m. inside his cab in the driveway of Ramos' father's home on the city's East Side. He reportedly picked up two fares from a South Side apartment complex and drove them to the location where he was found dead. Police are eyeing robbery as a possible motive. "We think there were two people in the cab, and probably three others in another vehicle, a getaway car, laying back in the bushes,' Ercul said. Bridget Terrones is being held at county jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Each of the other suspects is in jail with bail set at $1 million. Colorado Springs Gazette - November 17, 2007 - Another Arrest in Cab Driver΄s Slaying - Pueblo police have arrested a sixth person in connection with the Oct. 30 death of a cab driver. Police announced late Thursday that a 17-year-old was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder. His name was not released because he faces a juvenile charge, said Pueblo police Sgt. Elias Manzanares. Cab driver David Chance, 51, was shot to death in his cab about 1:30 a.m. Oct. 30. Police have said it was a robbery that went bad. He was owed $17 in cab fare. Those previously arrested were Olin Ferrier, 21; Matthew Koncilja, 24; Maximo Ramos, 19, and a 16-year-old boy, whose name wasn΄t released because he΄s a juvenile. Bridget Terrones, 19, was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder. Before he was shot, Chance had dropped off two of the suspects at 1125 E. 11th St., according to police. Manzaneres would not comment on the 17-year-old΄s alleged role in the killing. He said there could be more arrests. Rocky Mountain News - December 22, 2007 - Soldier Among Those Arrested After Cabbie's Death - A Fort Carson soldier is among six people arrested in connection with the slaying of a Pueblo cab driver in October. Spc. Olin Ferrier, 22, was being held at the Pueblo County jail on bail of $1 million. An arrest affidavit links him to the death of cab driver David Chance, who was shot in the head Oct. 30. A $17 cab fare was unpaid, the affidavit said. In the affidavit, police accused Ferrier and four others in a scheme in which the suspects were believed to have robbed a man of his mobile phone, used the stolen phone to call a cab, and then killed the cab driver for cash because "they needed money to party." The affidavit said Ferrier carried a "short rifle" the night of the killing but that Ferrier denied involvement in the slaying when he spoke to police days after Chance's death. Fort Carson officials said Ferrier, of Atlantic City, N.J., is a supply clerk with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team. He served a year in Iraq, ending in November 2006, and has received awards including the Army Achievement Medal, Army Commendation Medal and Combat Action Badge. His unit returned to Iraq late last month without him. The affidavit says he lives in Pueblo. The cab was headed to an address where the father of one of the suspects lives, the affidavit said. Maximo Ramos, 19, and his 16-year-old half brother, Raymond Guy Terrones, were arrested on other warrants but were later linked to the killing. Ramos has denied involvement. Police also arrested Daniel John Montoya, 17, on suspicion of murder. He and Terrones were charged as adults. Terrones sister Bridget Ann Terrones, 19, faces a charge of being an accessory. The grandfather of another suspect, Matthew John Koncilja, 24, told investigators his grandson matched the description of one of the suspects. Koncilja's grandfather is chief investigator for the district attorney's office in Pueblo. Investigators suspect that the group panicked when Chance resisted the robbery and shot him before fleeing without his wallet. The 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office is prosecuting the case because of the work of Koncilja's grandfather for the district attorney in Pueblo. The legal representation for the suspects was not immediately clear. Pueblo Chieftain - December 20, 2007 - Police Reveal Details in Cabby Slaying - Police suspect the recent shooting death of a taxi driver was the culmination of a nightlong crime spree intended to cop drug money. The suspects failed, according to arrest affidavits made public on Wednesday. When 52-year-old cabby David Chance was found slumped over dead in the driver's seat of his taxi at 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 30, he had about $170 in his pocket. Witnesses told police the suspects returned after killing Chance to recover the money, but didn't follow through with the theft because of the mess they'd left behind. "We feel the plan was to rob the (cab) driver and have a car there to pick (the suspects) up afterwards,' Pueblo Police Detective Don Litton surmised in an arrest affidavit that previously had been sealed by court order. So far five suspects are in custody facing first-degree murder charges for Chance's death. They are suspected shooter 22-year-old Fort Carson soldier Olin "Famous" Ferrier; suspected getaway driver Matthew John Koncilja, 24; Maximo Daniel Ramos, 19; his half-brother Raymond Guy Terrones, 16; and 17-year-old Daniel John Montoya. Terrones and Montoya have been charged as adults. Terrones' sister, Bridget Ann Terrones, 19, faces a charge of accessory to murder for allegedly harboring suspects and helping to dispose of evidence. At 10:30 p.m. on the night leading up to the shooting, a 24-year-old man reported he had been robbed of his cellular phone in an alley near Fourth Street and Fountain Avenue. Police later linked the stolen phone to a call that summoned Chance's cab to the Oasis Apartments, 4001 O'Neal Ave., right before he was shot. City Cab records showed that Chance picked up two fares at the O'Neal address. They were bound for an address familiar to the cab company, 1525 E. 11th St. That's where Ramos' estranged father lived at the time. He commonly called cabs for rides to and from the Pixie Inn. In fact, when the cab company's dispatcher fielded the ill-fated call on the night Chance died, he presumed it to be Ramos' father, who was affectionately known at the cab company as "Mr. Pixie." The elder Ramos was not the fare that night. He became involved when he called police to report a suspicious vehicle in his driveway. It turned out to be the cab that contained Chance's dead body. Ramos' father was the first to steer police toward the suspects they eventually arrested. He suggested police round up his son for questioning. Apparently the father and son hadn't spoken for quite a while at that point. Maximo Ramos' fingerprint was found on the roof of the cab. Further investigation with the cab company revealed that a teenage boy had twice beaten cabbies for fares in the last year during stops made at the 11th Street address. The cheapskate teen had distinctive tattoos of two eyeballs on the back of his head, so it wasn't hard for police to determine Raymond Terrones' possible link to the crime. Ramos and Raymond Terrones both were arrested on the afternoon following the shooting. They were booked on unrelated warrants while the investigation progressed. At an acquaintance's house, police recovered clothing reportedly worn by the pair on the night of the shooting. It had been laundered but still contained blood and brain matter from the shooting, according to an affidavit. Koncilja was arrested Nov. 13, when his grandfather, District Attorney's Chief Investigator John Koncilja, recognized that his grandson's physical description and car matched witness statements about the night of the crime. Matthew Koncilja told investigators that the cell phone was stolen earlier in the night with the intention of using a cell phone untraceable to the suspects to start the cab robbery in motion. Koncilja and the other suspects reportedly waited nearby the 11th Street address to pick up Ramos and Ferrier after the robbery, but it went wrong. In his affidavit detailing the investigation, Litton explained investigators' theory about the crime. "If someone is merely attempting to get a free ride from a taxicab, they would simply bail out when they arrived to the location they wanted to go," Litton wrote. "(Police) believe the suspects were attempting to rob the driver at gunpoint and he was resisting. The suspects were not planning on shooting the driver and they panicked afterwards and ran without taking his wallet. Also, because of the cellular telephone records, we know that phone calls were being placed back and forth (between the suspected conspirators) during the time the suspects were in the taxicab. There is also the matter of the suspicious dark colored car that drove up to the scene just moments after the shooting. This shows that someone had either been following them or they were called and told what happened." Because of Koncilja's familial connection to the district attorney's office in Pueblo, the El Paso County district attorney's office will prosecute each of the cases. To date, only Bridget Terrones has made bail. Each of the other suspects is being held at the Pueblo County Detention Center. A preliminary hearing in the case is set for March 6. Chance, Penny J.

Chapman, Helen M. Helen M. Chapman Pueblo Chieftain February 13, 1955 Mrs. Helen M. Chapman, body to Grand Junction for burial. Chapman, Hugh Hugh Chapman - Yampa Leader - August 3, 1907 - The Angel of Death has once more come into Routt County, this time to take Hugh Chapman of Pinnacle, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of this portion of the state. After an illness extending over many months and from which it was known there could be no recovery, he passed to his long rest on Wednesday morning, shortly before 3 o'clock. Heart trouble, with which had been associated many complications, was the cause of death. The end came most peacefully, Mr. Chapman being conscious almost until the last moment. He conversed with the members of his family and others present, and finally sank into that sleep from which there is no awakening on this side of the grave. Grandpa Chapman is survived by his widow, two sons, nine grandchildren and one great-grandson, all residing in the vicinity of Pinnacle and Yampa. One sister, who is 93 years of age, is living, her home being at Hannibal, Mo. The funeral services were held at the Yampa Congregational church Thursday afternoon and every seat in the large building was occupied, testifying to the high esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. Rev. I. J. Tripp, in very appropriate language, spoke of the high character of the one who had gone, of his long Christian life, and of the fact that everyone who had known him spoke in the highest terms and his strict observance of the highest principle of manhood. The burial was at the Yampa cemetery, more than a score of carriages following the remains to their last resting place. The services at the grave were closed by the singing of "Sweet Bye and Bye," this having been one of the last requests of the deceased. The pallbearers also had been chose by Mr. Chapman, almost in his last hour on earth, all being friends to whom he was deeply attached. Those thus honored were W. V. Hughes, W.C.T. Male, L. G. Stevenson, F. D. Hutchinson, Charles A. Purinton and Samuel C. Reid. Grandpa Chapman had been a resident of Routt County for the past 14 years, and few citizens are better known than him and his two sons, David M. and Franz S. Chapman. Locating in 1893 at Pinnacle, where his younger son had been practically the first settler, five years before, he engaged in ranching and stock raising, and quickly became known among the people of the surrounding country as a man of integrity and honor, and no citizen of the county stood higher in the esteem of his neighbor. Hugh Chapman was born at Steubenville, Ohio, on June 26, 1834, and was therefore a little over 73 years old at the time of his death. On November 2, 1854, he was united in marriage with Cordelia Scarlott, a native of Virginia, and to them were born four children, two of whom died at an early age. Mr. Chapman and his wife lived in Ohio until 1859, and then at Hannibal, Mo., until 1882 when they moved to Colorado and located at Denver, where they remained until 1887. From Denver they changed their residence to Pueblo, and in 1892 to Leadville. Mr. Chapman was a railroad coach builder, and worked at his trade in these various localities. A member of the Methodist church during his early life, Mr. Chapman became associated with the United Brethren church upon coming to Colorado, and through his long life he took an interest in religious matters. Politically he was a Democrat and fraternally a Knight of Pitheas. Always a good citizen, he displayed a lively interest in the affairs of government, but he never sought public office, being ever content to exert his influence from the ranks of the voters. By his death Routt county loses one of its best men. Chapman, Stewart Stewart Chapman - Pueblo Chieftain - March 07, 2005 - Stewart Chapman, 58, passed away March 3, 2005.

Chavez, Amarante Amarante Chavez - Rocky Mountain News September 15, 1911, Page 4 Martinez Sanchez, Pueblo wedding to Martina Martinez at the home of the bride in Salt Creek. Murder committed by a reject suitor of the bride, broke up wedding festivities. The crime is thought to have resulted in the death of Fabino Gallegos and Amarante Chavez. At the hospital Chavez made effort to tell who did the shooting but was too weak. He said one single word, "Cirranio", this is thought to be the first name of the man who fired the shots.

Fee will always remembered for her passion of life, her generosity, her kindness, her smile, her laughter, her honor, her passion to always be on the go--- especially to Las Vegas to visit her extended family. She was a very dedicated parishioner to St. Francis, continuously involved with Helping Hands, cleaning of the church and of course, their annual festivals.

Chilcott, George Miles George Miles Chilcott - Pueblo Daily Chieftain - March 7, 1891 - Death of Hon. G. M. Chilcott. A telegram received in this city yesterday afternoon contained the brief announcement that the Hon. George M. Chilcott, of this city, had died at St. Louis yesterday. The deceased has been in ill health for a long time, having been affected with rheumatism, heart trouble and dyspepsia, complicated with nervous prostration. A few weeks since he was taken to St. Louis for medical treatment. His condition has been variable since his arrival there, sometimes better and some times worse. A day or two since it was reported that he was attacked by pneumonia and it is more than likely that that disease was the immediate cause of his death. The death of George M. Chilcott will cause a void in Pueblo which will remain long unfilled. Few men in Colorado were as universally known and respected as he was. His genial disposition and sympathetic nature, combined with a benevolence that was remarkable, endeared him to everybody. His house was at all times open to his friends and acquaintances and his hospitality was of that open handed, hearty style which made every visitor feel at home under his roof. His personal popularity was such that during more than forty years of political life, he never failed to be elected by the people to any position to which he aspired. Politically speaking he was invincible. As a citizen he was always foremost in advocating all movements for the public good. Through his efforts the State Insane asylum was located at Pueblo; he built the first good hotel building, now known as the "Fifth Avenue," ever erected in Pueblo; as well as the Chilcott block at the corner of Santa Fe avenue and Sixth streets, which at first contained a large public hall on the upper floor; was a part owner of the Chilcott-Wells block on the lower part of Santa Fe avenue, and also of numerous other buildings in various parts of the city. He had been an invalid for a long time, in fact ever since the death of his wife, a few years since. Mr. Chilcott was born in Trough Creek Valley, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, January 2, 1828, and hence at the time of his death was sixty-three years of age. He was brought up on a farm and educated in the country schools of the day. Early in 1844 he removed with his parents to Jefferson county, Iowa, and worked upon a farm for two years. He afterwards taught school and studied medicine until the spring of 1850. In March of that year he was married to Miss Jennie Cox, who died a few years since universally respected by all who knew her. In 1853 he was nominated by the Whigs for sheriff of Jefferson County and was triumphantly elected. He removed to Burt county, Nebraska, in 1856, and was shortly afterwards elected to represent the counties of Burt and Cummings in the house of representatives of the general assembly of Nebraska, which met in session at Omaha in the winter of 1856-57. In 1859 he concluded to emigrate to Colorado, or as it was then called, the "Pike's Peak country," and arrived in Denver in the month of May. He was employed in prospecting during the summer and in the fall following he was elected from the town of Arapahoe, to the constitutional convention which met in Denver. Toward the close of the year Mr. Chilcott went back to his family in Nebraska, remained there all winter, returning to Colorado the next spring. He spent the summer of 1860 on Cherry creek, and in October of that year removed to southern Colorado, taking up his abode in what is now known as Pueblo County. Soon after his arrival here everything he owned, consisting of his team, wagon, and other things, was stolen from him by a man who pretended to be his friend and who left for parts unknown. Being left penniless in a strange country, Mr. Chilcott turned his attention to farming and went to work by the day for a ranchman. He worked during the years 1861 and 1862 and in 1863 located on a farm of his own on the Arkansas, twelve miles east of Pueblo, which still belongs to his estate. During that year he returned to Nebraska and brought his family to this state. He was elected a member of the Territorial legislature and sat during the first and second session of that body. President Lincoln, in 1863, appointed him register of the United States Land Office for the district of Colorado. When Mr. Chilcott first entered upon the duties of the office it was located at Golden, but was subsequently removed to Denver. He held that position nearly four years until he was elected in 1866 a member of congress under the first state organization. Congress refused to receive Colorado as a state at that time and Mr. Chilcott was refused a seat. He was elected a delegate to congress in 1867 for the territory of Colorado and served one term. It was he who introduced a bill repealing the act which provided for the changing of letter postage on all printed matter west of the Kansas line and east of the eastern boundary of California, and through his efforts the bill was passed. He succeeded, also, in having the appropriations for government surveys in Colorado largely increased and in having passed an important bill regarding the St. Vrain and Vigil land grant. Mr. Chilcott was a member of the territorial council and president of that body during the session of 1872-73. He was also a member in 1874. In 1878 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives from Pueblo County, and during the session of 1878-79, was prominently before the legislature as a candidate for United States senator, to which position Hon. N. P. Hill was elected. In 1882, when Senator Teller resigned his position to accept the appointment of secretary of the interior under President Arthur, Governor Pitkin appointed Mr. Chilcott United States senator to fill the unexpired term of Senator Teller. Mr. Chilcott discharged the duties of that high position to the satisfaction of all concerned until the election of Senator Tabor as his successor brought his term of office to a close. In 1884 he was elected to represent Pueblo county in the senate of the general assembly and served in that capacity four years, acting as president pro tem of that body. During that period he was instrumental in passing many important measures, but continued ill health seriously impeded his labors. Last fall, when the campaign for state officials was about to be inaugurated, numerous friends of Mr. Chilcott attempted to prevail upon him to be a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. He received a host of letters upon the subject from leading republicans in all parts of the state, and it was agreed by the managers of the party that he could have the nomination if he so desired. The state of his health was such, however, that he feared the effect of the excitement and fatigue of a political campaign and he was compelled to decline. As a husband and father Mr. Chilcott was kind and indulgent, as a citizen and a man he was without a peer, and as a public officer his record was clean and above reproach. No charge of corruption or malfeasance was ever brought against him during his long and varied public career and even his worst enemies were obliged to acknowledge that he was an honest man and a conscientious officer. Chilcott, Grant Grant Chilcott Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain November 20, 1879 Death of Grant Chilcott. It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of Grant Chilcott, one of the brightest and most promising youths of our city. He was taken sick two weeks ago last Saturday with a fever. He recovered from this sufficiently to come down town the forepart of last week. He took cold and a relapse set in from which he died on Sunday at half-past four o'clock. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the bowels. Death always chooses a shining mark, and this was no exception. He was one of the most popular youths in the city, and the pride and pet of the family. He was the youngest child of the afflicted and almost heart broken parents, and the sympathies of the entire community are with them. The funeral which takes place at ten o'clock to-day will be largely attended. Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain November 20, 1879 - Funeral of Grant Chilcott. One of the largest funerals ever witnessed in Pueblo was that of Master Grant Chilcott yesterday. Every available livery team, hack and express wagon in the city was brought into requisition and could not carry half of the people who assembled at the residence of Hon. Geo. M. Chilcott, at ten o'clock, to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed youth, the hope and pride of the family of our honored townsman. The funeral services were conducted in a very impressive manner by Rev. John A. Edmondson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The young man had been a member of the M. E. Sunday school and the pastor feelingly alluded to his uniform good conduct and moral deport-who. The services were opened by singing, after which the pastor read the 90th psalm, this was followed by prayer, after which he read a portion of the 15th chapter of the First Corinthians, which was followed by singing, when Mr. Edmonson announced for his text the first, second and third verses of the 14th chapter of the Gospel of St. John. He spoke for a brief period to the weeping friends and their neighbors in a most feeling and eloquent manner, admonishing all, both young and old, to prepare for the approach of the great destroyer, Death, by living upright, sober and virtuous lives. A last view of the loved one was taken by relatives and friends at the conclusion of the discourse, and the pall bearers, six in number, conveyed the remains to the hearse. A beautiful rosewood casket, adorned with a wreath of rare flowers, contained the mortal remains of him who was loved by all that knew him. The following young gentlemen acted as pall bearers: Mr. Horace Gast, Mr. Lee Cochrane, Mr. Charles Shaffner, Mr. Clarence Patterson, Mr. Arnold Cramer and Mr. Speed Wilson. The procession was nearly half a mile long and wended its solemn way to the Masonic graveyard where the remains were interred. The beautiful and impressive burial service of the Methodist Episcopal Church was read at the grave, after which the choir sang the Sweet Bye and Bye, and the sympathizing and sorrowing audience was dismissed, and returned to their homes. Judge J. C. Hart had charge of the funeral arrangements, and everybody is loud in praise of the admirable manner in which everything was conducted. He also assisted in the singing, which was excellent and appropriate to the occasion. The choir was composed of Miss Brown, Miss Barnett, Mrs. Smith, Miss Annie Owen, Miss Annie Ashcomb, Mr. Horace Gast, Mr. A. L. Price, Mr. Hart and Mr. Hard. The pupils of his class attended the funeral of Grant in a body, marshalled by the principal, Mr. McClung.

Chilcott - The Death of One of Colorado's Best and Noblest Women - About a year ago at this time Pueblo was mourning the death of one of her most valued citizens. Today the holiday delights are tinged with a deep grief for the loss of one of the noblest Christian women that ever honored our city or adorned a Colorado home. At 3:40 p.m. yesterday occurred the death of Jenny Cox Chilcott, aged fifty-seven years. She had been afflicted with dyspeptic trouble, supposed to be cancer of the stomach, for about six months. It caused much suffering, and for much of the time she was unable to swallow and retain anything. In August her husband traveled with her to various parts of the east and into Canada, and visited the noted summer resorts, but to no purpose. The trip did her no good, and she returned an invalid. Various physicians were employed, but her ailment was beyond medical skill. Up to a day or two ago Mrs. Chilcott seemed to retain a hope of ultimate recovery. Yesterday, however, she realized fully that she must die. Consciousness remained clear and reason unclouded to the last moment. The dying Christian woman faced the last dread hour with clear faith, and passed away without a struggle. The funeral is to be held at the Main Street Methodist Church, Tuesday at 2 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W.C. Madison. Jenny Cox was born in Logan County, Kentucky, December 7, 1830. Her parents are John and Lydia Cox, both living, near the age of 80, 30 miles west of this city. They have been sent for, and if able to attend will be present at the funeral of their daughter. They are well known as "Gran" and "Daddy" Cox. When Miss Cox was a young girl, her parents went to Macoupin County, Illinois. Afterward they removed to Jefferson County, Iowa, near the town of Fairfield, the home of Senator Wilson, with whom Mr. Chilcott read law. Mr. Chilcott and Miss Cox were married there in the year 1850, and lived there some years, Mr. Chilcott being the sheriff of Jefferson County after his marriage. They removed to Burt County, Nebraska, known as the home of the Folsoms, of which family the wife of the President is a member. Mr. Chilcott represented the county in the Nebraska legislature in 1856. In 1860 the Chilcotts removed to Pueblo, which has since been their home. Mrs. Chilcott went to Washington with her husband when he was a Senator, though she remained here when he was in the House of Representatives. She has been the mother of four children, three of whom are living (including Clay and Scott). She will be buried by the side of her youngest child, Grant, in the Masonic cemetery. Mrs. Chilcott was a faithful and devoted member of the Methodist Church, for whom interest she has labored and planned; and in the advancement of which she has contributed of her means and talents. As a member of the Ladies' Aid Society of the church she has been an efficient helper. Mrs. Chilcott was not one of those Christians who hope to "earn" their way into the kingdom of God, either by work or by contributions. Her labors for benevolent and religious organizations were prompted by the truest principle. A most circumspect, consistent Christian, undemonstrative, gentle to all and at all times, her life was a continual lesson and example to all who knew her. There are many stalwart men who are bold in battle, there are many who are undaunted by alarm or peril, and who can face sudden danger proudly, yet he that overcometh is greater than he that taketh a city; and the bravest man or woman is the one of whom, after half a century of struggle with the pains and self-denials of the world, the heights and depths of human life, the ills and joys of pioneer experience in the far west, it can be said, "We knew of naught but good."

Betrayed by the apostle Judas, Jesus was crucified by the Romans, by order of the Ruler Pontius Pilate. The causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe torture, and loss of blood. Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham was a member of the house of David. He was the son of the late Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth, and Mary, His devoted Mother. Jesus was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem, Judea. He is survived by His mother Mary, His faithful Apostles, numerous disciples and many followers. Jesus was self-educated and spent most of his adult life working as a Teacher. Jesus also occasionally worked as a Medical Doctor and it is reported that he healed many patients. Up until the time of His death, Jesus was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor. Jesus was most noted for telling parables about His Father's Kingdom and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, and healing a man who was born blind. On the day before His death, He held a Last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold His death. The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb.

Grand Junction Daily Sentinel - April 2003 Robert "Bob" Edward Clark July 23, 1928 to April 13, 2003 Bob's journey began in Colorado. He was born to John Wesley and Minnie (Fennell) Clark on July 23, 1928. He attended school in Mesa County and Wilmington, Calif. Bob was a very patriotic man. He joined the U. S. Army in 1948, and was on an anti-tank gun crew. He was honorably discharged in March, 1948, with a WW II Victory medal and Army of Occupation medal. Bob was also a typesetter for The Daily Sentinel for many years. On August 23, 1948, he married Dolly Armerette Inskeep. Together they had four daughters: Tanna (Ted) Carrico, Vikki (Jerry) Hicks, Kim (Elm) Birr, all of Grand Junction, and Kathi (Dan) Apted of Anchorage, Alaska. Bob was definitely a man's man. He could have lived in a log cabin, that would have been his dream. He loved camping, hunting, fishing, prospecting for gold, telling ghost stories, and pulling pranks. His best adventure was when he went to Alaska and Canada for six months and panned for gold. Unknown to him (we think), he had jumped someone's claim. The Royal Canadian Mounties really frowned on that. We thought dad might be gone for longer than six months, but he was able to talk his way out of trouble. Unfortunately, he lost quite a bit of gold. He then decided that fishing and hunting were better hobbies to pursue. In 1972, he moved his family "North to Alaska" where he had the time of his life. They lived in a Quonset hut and had moose in the yard. Life couldn't get any better for him. Two years after Dolly passed away, he met and married Ida Wilkenson. Ida told him that his life would never be boring with her. She was right. Together they owned a commercial fishing boat and used it every chance they got. Life was good. Bob and Ida also converted a PT boat into a fishing boat. He really enjoyed working on that boat. After a few years they sold the boats, and decided to do some traveling. They had more air miles than they could count. Bob and Ida made sure that they divided their time equally between their combined families. They spent six months in Grand Junction and six months in Anchorage. Bob really enjoyed his family, especially the 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. His face would light up every time one of them walked into the room. Bob always talked about finding the iron door with the gold bricks behind it. The last few years of his life, he became more spiritual. He wanted his Bible with him at all times. In Revelations, it tells about the New Jerusalem being the Heavenly City and in Revelations 21:21 the twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each individual gate was of one pearl and the street of the city was pure gold like transparent glass. Eureka, he found it! We love and miss you Dad. Other survivors include his three sisters, Audrey Grant, Dorothey Grant, and Gertrude Mercer, all of Grand Junction. Bob was preceded in death by two sisters, Lois and Margaret; and one brother, Jack. A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 18th, at Memorial Gardens in Grand Junction.

Clark - Pueblo Chieftain - January 7, 1904 - Founder of Clark's Well Dies at Ripe Old Age - Pueblo Pioneer Who Bored First Artesian - Silas J. Clark, one of the oldest pioneers of Pueblo, died at his home, 17 Block U, at 9 o'clock last night after a continued illness of a complication of diseases. He was 87 years, 7 months and 29 days of age at the time of his death. For the past 24 years he has been prominently identified with the upbuilding of Pueblo and was considered one of the principal factors in the city's growth. Silas J. Clark was born in Union Village, Washington County, New York, May 7, 1816. He was of Puritan Scotch decent and many of his ancestors stepped foot on American soil from the deck of the Mayflower. During his earlier years he removed with his parents to Detroit and spent the greater part of his boyhood days there and in Chicago, both then being little more than villages. At the age of 29 years he was married to Miss Lorene Stebbins, of Mosiertown, Pa. From his early youth Mr. Clark showed exceptional business proclivities and each one of his business dealings was pushed to completion with great sagacity. During his earlier years he engaged successfully in the dry goods business, but finally entered the oil fields of Pennsylvania, where his dealings were practically all brought to a successful climax. In 1873 he came west and engaged in the mining business in Clear Creek County where he secured some of the most valuable mining properties in the state. The following year he moved his family to Denver and for six years prosecuted his mining deals from that point. But the oil fever was so strong in his veins that it was not long before he began to look around for an oil location. His experience in the oil fields of Pennsylvania led him to believe that oil existed in this country and he decided to sink a well. Pueblo, which was then a town of about 6,000 or 7,000 inhabitants, was chosen as the proper location and he began drilling on the site of the now famous Clark wells. This was during the latter part of the year 1879 and about the first of January 1880 water was struck in the well. This, however, was not what he wanted and he kept sinking the drill to such a depth that he finally discovered that there was no oil to be found there. This was the first artesian well drilled west of the Missouri river. The discovery that the water contained medicinal properties was by accident. One of the drillers working on the well was one day seized with a severe kidney trouble and for several days he suffered greatly from this disease. When the water was struck, the man who was afflicted with the kidney trouble began drinking it, though the others did not, as they said it was not palatable. After drinking the water continually for a short time the man with the kidney trouble was entirely cured. Some of the other drillers became afflicted with disorders of some kind or other, and they, too, began drinking the water with the result that they were also cured. This led Mr. Clark to investigate the ingredients of the water and he finally discovered that it was highly charged with mineral and medicinal properties. The first bath house on the site where the large and commodious sanitarium now stands was built about June 1, 1880. It was patronized by the residents of the city, but not very extensively. In 1884 the old bath house was remodeled and steam fixtures were put in. The well then became known throughout the state and was visited by many afflicted with rheumatism and other diseases of the system and finally became known far and near as the Mecca for all troubled with rheumatism, kidney trouble and various other diseases. The well is now famous throughout the west, and a few years ago a large modern sanitarium was built. About six years ago, being old and rather broken in health, Mr. Clark decided to sell the well and retire from active business life. C K Wolfe bought a half interest and the son of Mr. Clark, 0. E. Clark, are now the proprietors of the well and sanitarium. Mr. Clark is survived by three living children, all living in Pueblo; Mrs. Florence L. Underhill, living at 67 Block, O. R Clark, 218 West Abriendo avenue and Silas Clark Jr., of 17 Block U. No funeral arrangements have been made as yet.

Those who were close to her remember her as a loving and generous person who had a rare talent for loving and forgiving. She reserved a special place for the innocent and the vulnerable, the young and the very old. She cared for children, now grown, who remember being glad to go to Mary's saying, I knew I would be warm and loved. She didn't have much but she got up every day and did the best she could. And, no matter if she didn't have a dime, you never left her house hungry. Her brother said even the hound dog gained 29 pounds when Mary lived nearby. If you asked her for help, she didn't check her calendar or consider if it would be a bother, she just said, Yes and helped. When she ran a concession stand, she gave the older children their first jobs. Mary was raised in a large blended family and would at once consider you a sister or brother and treat you that way from then on. Her husband, children and grandchildren depended on her. She gave her grandchildren the only home they ever had.

Clinton, Cleveland Cleveland Clinton - Huerfano World Journal - February 27, 2009 - Music teacher dies after surgery Cleveland Clinton, 27, the beloved music teacher who helped revive an endangered music curriculum in Re-1 schools, suffered a heart attack and died Saturday morning, Feb. 21 in Denver after undergoing a gastrointestinal procedure. Peakview School held a memorial assembly on Monday and John Mall High School band members are holding a memorial assembly at 3:25 pm on Thursday Feb. 26, 2009. It is open to the public. If community members are interested in helping Clinton's family, please call Maria at the school, 738-1610. Clinton moved here two years ago from Erie, Pennsylvania. He took on the challenge of resurrecting the long defunct music program at John Mall, Gardner, and Peakview Schools. Although there were many in the community over the years who said it would be impossible to bring the music program back, he proved them wrong. The new bands performed in concert to jam-packed local audiences, clapping, cheering, and stamping their feet in appreciation of the students' efforts. Clinton knew how to work the crowd; he intuitively understood what the Walsenburg audiences would respond to. He had a great love for composition, and started as a tuba and baritone performance major in college. He wanted to go down that path originally, but decided that teaching was really his calling. His high school band benefited from his composing talents, as they played many of his original works. According to friend and fellow music teacher Suellen Levy, among the reasons for his success was his patience, good humor, and appreciation for every child. He never spoke badly about any students- "he was a kind and gentle soul, and children gravitated to him like bees to honey." He was also a member of the community wind ensemble, the Huerfano Winds, and took great satisfaction in seeing one of his clarinet students, Michael Pacheco, join the group as it was an extension of the high school program. Pacheco says that he will make it his life's work "to make sure that Mr. Clinton's music stays alive." The Winds held an informal memorial service at rehearsal on Monday for Clinton. Members spoke of the energy and commitment that he brought to the music program and to the community, and said that his "will be a tough act to follow. His death is a loss for the schools, for our communities, and for the cause of music for our children." He was a long way from Pennsylvania, but when asked about going home for vacations, he would say "Walsenburg is my home." Gardner Principal Julia Marchant remembered Clinton as having an "amazing relationship" with the students of Gardner School. "Our hall is filled with dedications to Cleveland, with cards and drawings and essays from the students here. The kids could really open up and talk with him." John Mall students have set up a display on stage at the school cafeteria in tribute to Clinton. Many of them refer to him as their favorite teacher, and quote Clinton who frequently said, "We shall overcome." Re-1 Superintenant Michael Doyle said that he was "shocked and grieved" at Clinton's sudden demise, but went on to state that this would not mean the end of the music program. When asked how the kids were dealing with it, he said that it is hitting the kids hard. Peakview held an assembly on Monday, and the children all wrote cards to Clinton's sister. Doyle continued, "We' will get someone to cover for the rest of the year, and then we will advertise the position." When asked specifically if this could mean the end of the program, Doyle replied, "No," stating that the district had had a hard time finding Cleveland when they first advertised for the position. "The tricky part will be finding another music teacher as there aren't that many out there," to continue the good work that Cleveland Clinton began. Clinton, Vollie L. Vollie L.

Even though we nurtured it and tried to get it to stay, its pedals dropped and it slowly slipped away. It could have been a beautiful rose, and the best of show.

Cochise, Chief Cochise Colorado Daily Chieftain July 3, 1874 Death of Cachise [Cochise] - Cachise, chief of the Chiricahua Apaches, died in the Dragoon Mountains, Monday, June 8, last. He had been in ill health for some months from dyspepsia, and probably an affection of the lungs. He was about fifty years of age, and of late years had been much addicted to dissipation. He was possessed of a good deal of shrewdness and quite a capacity for controlling men. The extent of his command has been greatly over estimated. He probably at no time had under his control over 300 warriors, and of late the warriors belonging to his band undoubtedly have not exceeded 75. It is probable that in the history of Indian warfare no band of equal size has murdered more white men than this one. For twelve years they inhabited the most rugged mountains near the overland road between Rio Mimbres and the San Pedro, a distance of 200 miles, keeping a close watch for favorable opportunities to attack any and all who might pass along, and hundreds have been slaughtered during that time. Large trains have been taken and stages, mails, drivers, and passengers fared the same fate. After Cachise's death the Apaches killed and ate his horses and burned all his worldly goods. They then chose Cachise's oldest son and moved to the agency. The new chief is about twenty-two years of age, a stout athletic Apache, without any appearance of possessing superior ability. We understand they agree to keep the peace and obey Agent Jeffords. (Arizona Citizen) Cochran, Archie Archie Cochran - Pueblo Chieftain- January 13, 2002 - Born on May 27, 1931, in Pueblo to J.

Colbert, Chunk Chunk Colbert Trinidad Enterprise January 9, 1874 Trinidad was somewhat startled last Thursday morning by the report that Chunk had been shot at Red River. We have no reliable information in regard to his death; but the rumor generally credited, is that Chunk and a man by the name of John Allison had been quarrelling, both had been drinking during the day. At the time of the shooting it appears that both were sitting at the same table playing cards when Allison said something that angered Chunk, who pulled out his six-shooter with the intention of shooting Allison, but in his haste it struck the table and went off. Then raising it again would have shot Allison had he not, with a quick movement struck Chunk's revolver causing the ball to strike the wall. Before Chunk could shoot the third time, Allison shot him through the head, scattering his brains over the table, killing him instantly.

Cole, Bertha Schayer Bertha Schayer Cole Leadville Carbonate Chronicle February 10, 1919 Mrs. Bertha Schayer Cole No more fitting a farewell, nor one more replete with affecting bits of sentiment which spoke tenderly of the poignant sorrow of those from whom it came, could be given by friends than that tendered yesterday afternoon to Bertha, widow of the late Rupert Cole, when funeral services were held at 3 o'clock at the home at 320 West Seventh street of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cole, parents-in-law of Mrs. Cole. Mrs. Cole, who since the death of her husband three years ago has been a trained nurse, died at Salt Lake Thursday afternoon, and her remains were brot here yesterday morning on Rio Grande train No. 2 by Ralph C. Schayer, her brother. Individuals who had been warm friends of Mrs. Cole during her life in Leadville, including many of her associates in the Order of the Eastern Star, attended the services yesterday in a large concourse which filled the Cole home to overflowing. The flowers which virtually encased the gray casket, adding fragrant beauty, bespoke the sad sentiments of these mourners and the immediate relatives, as well as many friends in Denver, Salt Lake and other cities who could not be present. The services were carried out by the Eastern Star with Mrs. Theresa Le Due, worthy matron, and other officers in charge, and by the Rev. David McMartin (?), pastor of the First Presbyterian church. A touching bit of the rites was the fact that one hymn, "Going Down the Valley," was sung 3 years ago at Rupert Cole's funeral. The second hymn of the services was "One Sweetly Solemn Thot." Both of these were finely rendered by a male quartet composed of N. T. Schedin, E. R. Jennings, Fred J. McNair and Hjalmer Graff, with Miss Anna McLeod playing the accompaniment. Mrs. Cole was laid at rest beside the grave of her husband in the Masonic cemetery. A long cortege of friends in carriages proceeded there after the house ceremonies and assembled silently about the grave as the committal service was said. The pall bearers, several of them young men who had been friends of Mr. and Mrs. Cole during their brief married life here, were Harry Noble, Jos. H. Lanphier, Roy Haight, J. Stuart Shine, Jos. E. Cummings and Fred Pfannenschmid. Mrs. Cole's death Thursday was a sad shock to her family and many friends. Following the death of her husband, which occasioned general sorrow in their community of friends here, Mrs. Cole had valiantly taken up life alone with determination to become a graduate nurse and follow that profession as a life work. She trained at the Minnequa hospital, Pueblo, and about five months ago went to Salt Lake, where her mother and brothers reside, to begin active service on private cases. She was engaged on a private case when she became sick, but refused to give up until ten days before her death of pneumonia. "That shows what kind of a girl she was," her brother Ralph said last evening. "She always thot of others first and unselfishly acted for them before thinking of herself." She was then taken to the Holy Cross hospital, where she passed away at 3:15 Thursday afternoon. As the saying goes, Mrs. Cole was "a Leadville girl," having been born here on June 28, 1891, and having spent practically all of her life here. In her girlhood, she attended the public schools. Six years ago August 17 last she and Mr. Cole were married and their brief life together was unusually happy. Mr. Cole died here after a short sickness three years ago September 14 last. Her late father was Adolph Schayer, a pioneer business man of Leadville. Her mother and four brothers and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cole are the immediate surviving relatives. Because of sickness, Mrs. Schayer was unable to come to Leadville with Ralph on his sorrowful mission last week. The four brothers are Ralph C., Arthur A., Julius I. and David E. Schayer. Arthur is serving in the navy at San Francisco and Julius is in the army at Vancouver Barracks, Wash., where he has been promoted several times since going in as a private. Cole, C. C.

Cole, Grace Mildred Marie, Grace, and Lewis Cole Pueblo Chieftain - June 16, 1924 - Three Bodies Taken Out of Ditch Sunday - Remains of Mrs. Cole, face Down, Located by Party Headed by Fire Chief - Current Swept Baby 2 Miles From Plunge Area - Six Small Children Are Left Fatherless by Tragedy That Shocked Community - (By Harry Kletzky) - Bessemer ditch, drained of its deep and muddy waters which snuffed the lives of Mrs. Grace Cole, 30, her 8 month-old-child, Mildred, and Lewis Cole, 41, the woman's brother-in-law, who drowned in a futile attempt to save the lives of the mother and baby, as the result of a fatal backward plunge of an automobile into the ditch shortly after 11 o'clock Saturday night, Sunday gave up it's dead. All three bodies of the drowned persons were recovered Sunday morning and afternoon, following a search of the ditch by police, fireman, sheriff's deputies and volunteers from the time of the tragedy Saturday night to 3:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when the body of Mrs. Cole, face downward, was found floating in the undrained water by a party of searchers headed by Fire Chief Sam Christy. Body of Lewis Cole First Found Lying in the bed of the ditch near Small and Palmer avenues, six blocks from the scene of the tragedy, the body of Lewis Cole was found about 9:30 o'clock. Discovery of Cole's body, the first to be found, gave encouragement to the searchers who had patrolled the banks of the ditch for many hours. Cole was clad only in underwear, the only clothing he wore when he jumped from his bed in his home on hearing the cries of his brother, J. D. Cole, husband of the drowned woman, and plunged into the ditch after his sister-in-law, although he was unable to swim. Wading back and forth in the ditch the searchers three hours later found the small body of the Cole baby, which had been carried for nearly two miles down the stream to a point just west of the steel works plant. Mrs. Cole's Body Near By - Two blocks away, near Canal and Routt Avenue, the mother's body was found. Here, because the water was yet waist deep, the searchers had missed the body several times in their trips up and down the ditch. J. D. Cole, husband and Father of the woman and child, accompanied the searchers and although frantic with grief, held up well, under the severe strain. Families of the drowned persons were notified of the discoveries immediately. Lewis Cole was the father of six small children and lived at 713 West Adams Avenue, directly in front of which the drowning occurred. Mrs. Cole lived at 66 Block H. and had only the one child. Bodies Reveal Bruises - Bodies of Lewis Cole and the baby showed small scratches and bruises which indicated they possibly had scraped against the sides of the banks in their lifeless downward journey in the muddy waters. The body of Mrs. Cole was not marred. According to the belief of Coroner W. S. Johnston all three of the drowned were dead within 10 minutes after they struck the water, as none could swim. The mother, it is believed, tightly clutched to her breast the body of her baby, and probably carried it with her even in death, as both bodies were found comparatively close together. Many Took Part In Search - Because Mrs. Cole's body was imbedded in a place where the water was deepest, two searching parties passed over it, one wading down the ditch as far as the St. Charles river, 15 miles, in search for it. Chief Christy's party including himself, Assistant Chiefs Fitspatrick and Willis, Fireman Hachett, Jim Fitzpatrick, Colorado Fuel and Iron company watchman, and Duncan Leininger, Colorado Fuel and Iron company employe, sighted the body which completed the search. Scores of volunteer searchers were directed in their work by Police Officers Maddox, Miller, Nance and by Undersheriff Fred S. Kenyon. Officials of the Bessemer Irrigation company, owner of the ditch, aided in the search as soon as they were informed of the drownings. Drainage of the ditch was ordered and officials of the company personally aided. Previous Drownings - Paralleling the Cole deaths is the case of Elmer Norris, employe of the Nuckolls Packing Company here, who was also drowned in the Bessemer ditch on January 12, 1923. Norris was riding in an automobile near the Roselawn cemetery when the machine missed the bridge over the ditch and plunged into the water. Roy Frasier former employe of the packing company, was also in the car but escaped drowning. Pueblo has not been so shocked by drownings in recent years as it was by Saturday night's tragedy since the drowning of Matthew and James Coleman, 18 and 17 year old brothers, who were drowned in Lake Minnequa Christmas night last, when skating on the ice. One of the brothers is believed to have fallen thru a hole in the ice and the other to have jumped in after him. The Survivors - Mrs. Grace Cole is survived by a husband, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Hall, Avondale, three brothers, Thomas, Logan and James Hall, Vineland, and two sisters, Mrs. Stella Klaus of Vineland, and Mrs. Ed Johnson of Pueblo.

Conatore. A member of "The Greatest Generation", Rose was born to the union of Emilio Mendicello and Nicolina Todaro, August 11, 1919, in Pueblo, Colorado, and was a lifetime resident of the city's Bessemer neighborhood. From a very young age, she learned baking, canning, cooking, sewing, crocheting, embroidery and other homemaking skills. She had to be an adult as a child and knew firsthand the meaning of hard work. An outstanding student, she had to leave Central High School shortly before graduating to take care of her father, brother, and two younger sisters, when her mother died of cancer at age 36. Rose married Charles A. Conatore in 1946. They had two children, Mary Jo and Paul, and were together for 48 years before Chila's death in 1994. They owned Evans Fruit Market and operated that neighborhood grocery store seven days a week, 11 hours a day, 360 days a year for 36 years until their retirement in 1982. In addition to being mother and homemaker, Rose handled the accounts and transactions of the business, their U.S. Post Office substation, and their Colorado Game and Fish Department license sales office. When her husband began to suffer one illness after another, Rose took care of him while taking charge of the entire operation during the last 11 years of the store's existence. She took care of family and relatives most of her life. People relied on her love and generosity. In addition to her own children, she raised or helped to raise nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the family, most notably, Lana (Klune) Hunter, Dolores (Conatore) Voight, Paul J. Conatore, Patricia (Blatnick) Stout, Terri (Conatore) Dannehl, Christine (Conatore) Robertson, Chad Campbell, Allison (Campbell) Crull, and Hannah Campbell. She also provided care to her uncle, Dominic Morrone for 11 years, and her brother-in-law, Dominic Conatore following a serious accident. She was bridesmaid to her sisters, aunt Lula (Morrone) Mendicello, cousins, Antoinette (Cozzolino) Mahar and Lena (Marcovecchio) Soldano, and sister-in-law, Frances (Conatore) Weber. She was godmother to cousin Eleanor (Piastri) Norris, nieces, Lana Hunter, Susanne Baker, Kathy (Weber) Hayes, Elizabeth (Hayes) Schreiber, Terri Dannehl, Christine Robertson, Allison Crull, and Hannah Campbell; and nephews, C. Paul Kimberling and Eddie Klune Jr. Rose was happiest with family or friends around her, especially when keeping family traditions and Italian customs, or enjoying holidays, birthdays and weddings. She was "famous" for her homemade ricotta filled ravioli, cavatelli, braciole, potica, and many kinds of Christmas cookies. She loved her spring bulb blossoms, roses of many varieties, and bearded irises of more than 30 colors. It always gave her great joy to be doing something for someone else and she was an artisan who handcrafted bridal gowns, lace tablecloths and doilies, baby blankets, afghans and sweaters treasured by many family members and friends. Only rarely did Rose do anything for herself. She achieved her goal of becoming a member of Central High's class of 1938, receiving her diploma in 1971. She was extremely proud of her daughter who received BA and MA degrees, as well as Type D Certification in elementary education, was honored Colorado Distinguished Educator in 1986, and taught in Baxter and Beulah elementary schools for 23 years. She was also quite proud to have contributed to, and be featured in, "Old Ties, New Attachments: Italian American Folklife in the West", published in 1992, as part of a major project by the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress. Rose was a member of several clubs and organizations including Ladies Fidelity Lodge of the Columbia Federation of America, Saint Teresa Society, Order of Martha and Saint Francis Xavier Parish. She is also survived by dear friends, sisters-in-law, Emily (Virgil) Wiley and Frances Weber; brothers-in-law, George (Jan) and Louis (Pam) Conatore and Mark Klune; numerous nieces and nephews; and beloved cousins, Albert Mendicello, Lucy Adams, Marie Mendicello, Anna Mae (Don) Thornton, Antoinette Mahar, Betty Cozzolino, Josephine (Novie) Vernon, Rose Corwin, Mike (Katie) Cozzolino, Frances (Rodger) Moreschini, and Helen (Thomas) Poulis.

Connolly, James James Connolly Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain September 14, 1876 Bill Caveness How He Murdered Connolly A correspondent of the Chieftain, writing from Trinidad, gives the following particulars of the murder of James Connolly on the Dry Cimarron, briefly alluded to in a special to the Chieftain in the issue yesterday: It seems that a man named Bone has been arrested on a charge of stealing some horses from a person named McLush, into whose charge the horses had been put by a deputy sheriff. On Sunday, the 10th inst., Bone was being taken to Cimarron City in charge of Connolly and McArnold. At a point on the Dry Cimarron, about fifty miles southeast of Trinidad, the parties halted and were getting some water near the road when Bill Caveness and Ross Blackburn rode up and took McArnold's arms from him. Bill Caveness then knocked Connolly down with his gun and then shot him with his pistol before he could rise, one ball taking effect in the breast and the other in the shoulder. Connolly died in less than five minutes. Caveness is a man of bad reputation having been engaged in several affairs of this kind before. It is said he was compelled to leave Texas on account of having killed a man. A reward of five hundred dollars is offered for his capture.

The two men who stopped in town with him are being held awaiting the results of the inquiry. The coroner is not satisfied as the exact manner of death and believes an inquest is necessary. Following the request of relatives the remains will be sent to Hoosac Falls, N. Y. Rocky Mountain News - October 23, 1911 - "Jury Holds Inquest While "Dead" Man Cooks Supper." Fanatic Who Prayed on Streets Was Thought to Have Swallowed Carbolic Acid. At Greeley, while the jury was returning a verdict that John Connoly had ended his life, Connoly was busy at a ditch camp of C. O. Harrison, near Hudson, preparing dinner for the workers. This peculiar set of circumstances came about through Connoly's resemblance to the dead man. An accidental meeting of Deputy Coroner Fred Alnutt and Hugh Styres, an employee at the camp, told that Connoly is alive, well and at work. Relatives of Connoly would have received the remains of a stranger. The identification was made by so many that it was thought to be the Connoly. At one time Connoly related the story of his being doped on whiskey and almost landed him in the insane asylum at Pueblo, and of being in the city jail. At one time he grew violent and it looked that he might face a lunacy. However, he improved and was released. The remains found in a boxcar have yet to be identified.

Conover, late editor of the Chieftain, died at his residence on Fourth street, in this city, to-day, of lung disease. The deceased was a brilliant writer, dearly beloved by all who know him, and his death has cast a gloom over the entire city. He leaves a loving wife and three little children two boys and a girl. The Chieftain building is draped in mourning. Central City Weekly Register-Call - September 10, 1880 - A Colorado Journalist's Death - Mr. A. V. Conover, editor of the Pueblo Chieftain, died in that city Saturday morning at half past 9 o'clock. The funeral took place in that city at 4 o'clock p.m. yesterday.

Cook, George Washington George Washington Cook El Paso County Democrat December 22, 1916 Geo. W. Cook Dies at Pueblo Denver. Gen. Geo. W. Cook, former congressman-at-large from Colorado, a state builder and organizer of the famous Cook's Veteran Drum Corps here, died in the state asylum at Pueblo. He was 65 years old and had lived in Denver since 1881. He was born in Bedford, Ind., Nov. 10, 1851, the son of Lieut. Samuel Cook of the Union army, and Agnes Dodson Cook, daughter of an ensign in the United States navy. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle December 25, 1916 Last Call to Gen. Cook Noted Pioneer Railroad Man, Politician and Founder of Famous Drum Corps Dies in Pueblo Mayor of Leadville Pueblo, Dec. 17. Following a two years' illness during which time he had been confined to the Colorado State hospital here General George W. Cook, former congressman-at-large from Colorado, pioneer business man and prominent in political circles of the state, died here this afternoon. His death had been expected for several days. His wife and son were constantly at his bedside during the last few days. General Cook was the founder of the Cook drum corps of Denver which had a reputation for excellency throughout the United States. He was born in Bedford, Ind., in 1851 and his father was an officer in the Union army in the civil war. When 11 years old he ran away from home and joined the Union forces as a drummer boy, serving until the end of the war. After the war he entered the railroad business and was so successful in the east that he was summoned to Colorado to take division superintendency of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad with offices in Leadville. He later moved to Denver and in 1907 was elected congressman-at-large. Two years later he was chosen senior vice-commander of the G. A. R. and came very close to being elected national commander-in-chief. His later years were spent chiefly in financing and making famous Cook's drum corps. What resident of Leadville who has been here ten years or more does not know of General George W. Cook! Former railroad man of the city, mayor of Leadville, one of the first mining men of the state to engage in manganese mining in the district, organizer of Cook's famous drum corps, sponsor for dozens of public-spirited movements which benefited Leadville. General Cook was known by the entire west and residents of Leadville considered him one of the Cloud City's foremost leaders. Characteristic of the type of the vigorous old pioneer's actions was his last semi-public performance in Leadville. Early in 1912 he returned from California with the famous Cook's drum corps, which had been in attendance at the national G. A. R. encampment. He had promised Leadville people he would stop with the corps here and give a concert. The trains were late. The passenger bearing the drum corps, always a veritable brass band with a big drum section since the earliest days, was hours behind schedule. It did not reach Leadville until about three in the morning. But General Cook kept his promise. The musicians climbed out of their Pullmans, fell in line and struck up briskly with martial airs. They astounded sleeping Leadville which slept only a moment or two after the drum corps started the parade. The band marched up and down Harrison avenue, serenaded the Herald Democrat office and then marched in front of the opera house, finally leaving the town with a sure reminder that its former most prominent citizen was still alive and actively alert to the interests of his old stamping ground. George Washington Cook was born in Bedford, Ind., November 10, 1851. His father was Lieutenant Samuel Cook of the Union army; his mother, Agnes Dodson Cook was the daughter of an ensign in the United States navy. When only 11 years old he learned telegraphy and ran away from home and enlisted as a drummer boy with the army of the Cumberland, serving with several Indiana regiments. Later he became a regimental clerk of an Indiana volunteer regiment, and at the close of the war was with Sherman on the march thru Georgia. After the war the lad went home and finished his education. He married quite young and in 1872 entered the service of the _____ railroad system in Chicago. His success was so marked that the management of the Denver and Rio Grande system, which was having apparently insurmountable difficulty in keeping open its mountain division in winter, brot Cook west and established him as division superintendent, with an office in Leadville. It was here, in a growing country, that George W. Cook developed those remarkable qualities of leadership of men that made him famous, respected and loved. This mountain division of the D. & R. G. was the first railroad that really penetrated the Rocky mountains, the Union Pacific having skirted the bases for the most part. Floods, snowstorms, avalanches, electric storms and bandits played constant havoc with the service. But none of these things was a match for the ability of George Cook, and in short order he had his trains running like clockwork. In 1885 Superintendent Cook became mayor of Leadville. He was re-elected. A third term was offered him by acclamation, but he declined. After going to Denver to live, General Cook ran for congress on the Republican ticket and was elected in 1907. Two years earlier he was chosen senior vice commander of the G. A. R., and came very near being elected national commander-in-chief. His later years were devoted chiefly to financing and making famous Cook's drum corps. In October, 1913, the general's mind gave way. He was arrested for threatening the life of a baggage clerk at the Union station with a shotgun. Two days later he was again arrested for threatening the lives of residents of the Shirley hotel, where he lived, with a hatchet. Later he was taken to the asylum at Pueblo. In the spring of 1884 (?) General Cook lead a spectacular rescue expedition to the Homestake mine northwest of Leadville where Albert Morrison, Jack Carroll and a small band of other miners had been trapped in their mine cabin by a snow slide. News of their probable end developed in Leadville as the result of their delay in calling for mail. General Cook was instrumental in organizing a party of fifty men who started out on snowshoes with equipment to dig the men out. As agent for the D. and R. G. railroad, General Cook commandeered an engine and cars which ran as near to the mine as possible and brot the rescued bodies to Leadville. When the funeral procession of the miners passed the cemetery a few days later, attended by a mammoth turnout and led by a brass band, it reached the railroad tracks just as the fastest express of the line bearing officials of the railroad was coming up the grade to Leadville. General Cook rushed from the procession and brot the train to a halt. Yampa Leader - December 22, 1916 - George W.

Cordova, Brigido Brigido Cordoba Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain October 5, 1876 Murder Brigido Cordoba Shot at Trinidad Our telegrams mentioned briefly the murder of Brigido Cordoba, at Trinidad on Tuesday night the 26th ult. From a gentleman just arrived from that place we learn that the murder was committed by an old man named Strane, an American, who is married to a Mexican woman of dubious reputation, who has a sister who lives with the family, who is inclined to be somewhat loose in her habits. It seems that about half past eight o'clock, on Tuesday evening, Cordoba, who was somewhat under the influence of liquor, went to Strane's house with the intention of seeing his (Strane's) sister-in-law. On his arrival there he knocked at the door and was answered by Strane in a somewhat angry tone. It is reported that Cordoba apologized for coming there and was about to leave when Strane opened the door and shot him dead. As soon as the shooting was discovered a crowd of some two or three hundred people, mostly Mexicans, gathered around Strane's house and attempts were made to capture and hang him. He was provided, however, with a needle gun and plenty of ammunition, and stood off his would-be executioners. It is said that some of the excited crowd clambered upon the roof of the house and commenced tearing it off but were driven away by a vigorous fusillade from Strane's needle gun. A compromise was finally made, Strane agreeing to surrender on a pledge being given by the Americans present that he would be protected and turned over to the authorities. He was accordingly placed in the county jail. Brigido Cordoba is a well known citizen of Trinidad, and at the time of his death was deputy sheriff of Las Animas county. The following graphic account of the matter we clip from the Enterprise and Chronicle: "Last night between eight and nine o'clock Joseph Strain fired a fatal bullet into Brigido Cordova, deputy sheriff of Las Animas county. There are different stories afloat regarding the cause of the shooting, the most credible of which is that Cordova had been visiting the wife of Strain, during her husband's absence. That Strain had been off in the mountains for some time, and only returned yesterday, when he learned of his wife's wrong doings and the visits of men, and he vowed vengeance. At the time mentioned above, Cordova went to the house and rapped at the door, which was opened by Strain, and then Cordova made some apology about mistaking the door, whereupon Strain raised his carbine and taking deliberate aim fired, the shot striking Cordoba in the neck, from the effects of which he died in about three hours. Another story is, that Strain was expecting the visit of another man whom he intended to kill, and that he mistook Cordova for him. Immediately on the fact of the shooting becoming known, an excited crowd gathered at Strain's residence, where they found all the doors closed and the house in darkness. On the arrival of officers he was ordered to come out and surrender himself, which Mr. Strain declined doing. After considerable persuading and promises of safety the wife and children came out and left the old man alone. He was coaxed and threatened to no avail; attempts were made to smoke him out, and burning pepper was conveyed into his room on the end of a long plank, the light of which illuminated his room. This he bore for a while, and then stepped out from his hiding place behind the chimney and stamped it out. Finally, after the roof of the house had been demolished and two or three shots had been fired into the room where he was, he came to the door and was seized by the officers, who conveyed him safely to jail, followed by an excited crowd of hundreds of Americans and Mexicans. There was a manifest disposition to give him a "short shift and a long rope," but the better counsels of law-abiding citizens prevailed, and Strain was locked up. The victim was a well known citizen, and of considerable influence with his people as a politician. Strain is represented by those acquainted with him as a quiet and peaceable man. He came here about two years ago from Arkansas, and has worked at whatever he could find to do. He is English by birth. Lately he has been in the San Juan mines and returned yesterday. It is said his wife and sister have been acting badly, which lead to this lamentable tragedy."

Cordova, John Sr. John Cordova Sr. - Albuquerque Journal May 22, 2006 - John Cordova Sr., 94, long-time president of the local typographical union, died Wednesday. He was a master craftsman of the printing trade. He joined the union in 1935 in Pueblo, CO and remained a member until his death. He was president of local ITU 304 in Albuquerque for twenty-seven years through the 50s, 60s, and 70s. He retired from the Albuquerque Publishing Company in 1975. He loved his craft and was regarded as one of the most productive and accurate of printers. He proudly showed his family and anyone who would take the time the intricacies of the "hot metal" Linotype machine. He successfully negotiated for higher wages and increased benefits for members with the Albuquerque Journal, Tribune and commercial print shops. He shepherded the union through the transition from hot metal machines to computers and "cold type." However, it was his love of reading that most attracted him to the printing trade. He was a voracious reader of newspapers, books and magazines. In the last months of his life he still read both the Albuquerque Journal and Tribune cover to cover. Often he would call his son to note some item buried deep in the classified section of the paper. He said his most enjoyable job was working for the UNM Press where he was able to type and read academic reports and books published at UNM. The association with UNM fed his love of history and of his own family's history of migration from New Mexico to Colorado in the mid 1800s. John and his family returned to New Mexico in 1946. John loved his church and the many friends he made there. He served for many years as a Eucharistic minister and lector. Until illness slowed his step, he attended mass every day at Holy Ghost Church. He and his wife Helen attended Holy Ghost when it was a mission church located near Pennsylvania Ave. They were founding members of the parish. In later years, he kept informed of church activities through regular visits with his friend and Eucharistic minister Larry O'Connell and neighbor Mary Chavez. He received the sacraments regularly and was given the last rites before his death. After his wife Helen's death in 1969, he found solace in his family and particularly the support provided by his four granddaughters, Sharon, Katherine, Deborah, and Rosemary. He was married to Helen Lopez Cordova for thirty-five years until her death. They met at a dance in Burnt Mill Colorado. He was immediately attracted to the shy and beautiful, country girl with, as he recounted, 'lips like Clara Bow's.' In the mid '70s he fell in love with fellow printer Katye Waters. He and Katye remained companions until her death almost three years ago. She and John will rest near one another in Gate of Heaven Cemetery. After retirement, John was appointed to serve on the City of Albuquerque Library Board by Mayor Harry Kinney. He loved the opportunity to serve and saw the construction of three new libraries in the Northeast Heights. He served with Margie Hernandez whom he recalled fondly. Although popular and well respected, he declined to take a direct interest in politics. He was fond of U.S. Senator Dennis Chavez with whom he shared libations at the Federal Bar. He was a life-long Democrat who was a strong supporter of U.S. Senator Pete Domenici and Mayor Marty Chavez. When David Cargo announced his intention to run for New Mexico Governor he made his announcement at a meeting of the printers' union. Of course Dave became governor and always reminded John that he "kicked off" Dave's successful campaign. John loved his extended family. He had nine sisters and a brother. All but one (Flora Cordova) has passed away. Helen also had a large family - eight brothers and four sisters - two members of her family are still living (Josephine Lopez Marquez and Bobby Lopez). He had eighty-one nieces and nephews and had special memories of each and every one. He had a special Thursday telephone date with his niece Rosie Ruiz and his niece Rita Baca had red chile and menudo delivered to him by Mrs. Keller from Pueblo. John's special joy and the one thing that death would cause him to miss, is seeing his great grandchildren grow up. They were the joy of his life and he reveled in their energy, intelligence and beauty. Throughout the years, the good doctors and staff at Lovelace on Gibson have cared for the Cordova family. Dr. Randy Lovelace treated John Sr. and John Jr. Special thanks are extended to Dr. Charles Benton, Dr. Wesselman and the nurses and staff on the third and fourth floor at Lovelace. The kind and considerate care of Vista Care Hospice is deeply appreciated as is the long-term care provided to John by Barbara Perea. He died as he wished, in his own home and in his green recliner. His two children, John Jr. and Vera Little, were at his side along with his daughter-in-law, Carolyn Mountain. Vera lovingly consoled her father in his final days. He is survived by his children, John Cordova, Jr. and Carolyn Mountain of Albuquerque and Vera and Robert Little of Torrance, CA; his grandchildren, Sharon and Jeff Buckwell of Huntington Beach, CA, Deborah and Chris Berry of Phoenix, AZ, Katherine Cordova and Andrew Dalton of Gloucester, MA; and Rosemary Cordova and Francisco Rivero of Berkeley and Middletown, CA; and six great-grandchildren, Grace Buckwell, Lauren and Carsten Berry, John and Isabel Dalton, and Lazaro Cordova-Rivero. His sister, Flora; sisters-in-law, Josephine Marquez and Rose Lopez; and brother-in-law, Bobby Lopez; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and friends, also survive him.

The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will be mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.'" Revelations 21:3-4.

Corfell, Stephen Stephen Corfell - Colorado Daily Chieftain August 3, 1876 - Drowned A week ago last Saturday a young man supposed to be named Stephen Corfell, was accidentally drowned in a lake in the Huerfano valley, a short distance from Butte Valley crossing. Corfell, says the Huerfano Independent, had been in the employ of the Worthington brothers as a horse breaker, and after leaving their place on the preceding Saturday, camped with John Bond and others, about five miles from Walsenburg. Sunday he traveled toward the Apache with Mr. Paul Reed, and when near the lake in question, Reed proposed a swim. This was agreed to by Corfell, and they, nearly together, entered the water. In the meantime Reed asked the other if he could swim and received an affirmative reply. But before any swimming depth had been obtained in the lake, the unfortunate man began jokingly to call for help, stating that he was drowning. This, of course, Mr. Reed did not heed, except to tell him he had better not call out in that manner when not in danger as no one would believe him if he really was about to drown. In the meantime, he swam across the lake and gained the opposite bank. As soon as he was on shore he again heard Corfell call loudly for help, and then seeing he was struggling in the water he swam toward him, but before he reached that part of the lake the unfortunate man had sank for the last time. The body was taken from the lake, and in absence of Coroner Dr. Rothe, Justice of the Peace Worthington held an inquest at Butte Valley, at which the verdict of death by accidental drowning was returned. The deceased was quite a young man, and while Mr. Paul Reed, who saw him for the last time alive, thinks his name was Stephan Corfell, he is not quite positive in the matter.

D. - Pueblo Chieftain - June 20, 1929 - A Friend Passes - A city mourns the passing of a scholar, a philosopher, a builder, a thinker, a servant of mercy. Above all else it is saddened because a friend has been taken whence he came. Richard Warren Corwin, M. D., has been summoned to his reward. Life was rich in its bestowal of gifts upon this illustrious citizen, filling his cup to overflowing. And he drew the maximum of benefits from these rich gifts and gave them freely unto his fellow men. Pueblo, Colorado, and the world, owe a heavy debt to this genius a debt they can never repay. Only in a humble way can we ever give recognition to the golden deeds of Dr. Corwin one of the most beloved men who ever came our way. Dr. Corwin, World Famed Medical Scholar, Is Dead. Dr. Richard Warren Corwin, eminent surgeon of international repute, head of the medical department of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and chief surgeon at Minnequa hospital since its establishment in 1881, died in his sleep Wednesday morning. His death was discovered by members of the household of Casa Vivienda, his residence on the hospital grounds. Dr. Corwin, who was 77 years of age, had been in poor health for the past six months. Throughout his life, Dr. Corwin took an active interest in civic and educational affairs. He was instrumental in establishing the McClelland Public library in 1886 and had served as a member of its board of directors since that time. For the past 44 years he had been a member of the board of education of school district No. 20, and was a past president of the board. This is regarded as being the longest term ever held by any school director in the country. He had hundreds of close personal friends, not only in Pueblo, but throughout the entire country. By his studies in surgery in all parts of the globe, as well as by his splendid achievements at Minnequa hospital, Dr. Corwin carved a name for himself among the foremost medical men of the world. He was president of the American Society of Railway Surgeons in 1908, president of the Colorado State Medical society in 1909, and holder of various other offices in state and national organizations during his long career. During the World war he was in Europe observing war surgery for five months in 1916, and in 1919, from May 15 to October 1, he was again in Europe under the direction of the Rockefeller institute, studying osteomyelitis and post-war surgery. He attended the Clinical congress of American College of Surgeons in South America, and was a member of the American College of Surgeons' tour in 1923. The following year he toured South Africa inspecting the hospitals there. On the many tours of foreign countries, Dr. Corwin collected a large number of curios and relics and these he placed on exhibition in the corridors of Minnequa hospital, where they were gazed at with more than a little interest by visitors to the establishment of Minnequa hospital and its growth to its present position of eminence among American hospitals was due in very large measure to Dr. Corwin. In 1880, the hospital for the C. F. and I. Company was located in a little building on the front row of buildings at the Steel works. The year following the adjoining building was converted into an addition to the hospital. In 1883 the company constructed a hospital on Block X, East Abriendo Avenue. This served until Aug. 7, 1902, when the present Minnequa hospital was completed near Lake Minnequa. The site was chosen by Dr. Corwin and the construction of the building was according to his ideas. An innovation at that time was the use of __nways (runways?) between the various floors, instead of stairways. The hospital has for years been considered as foremost among institutions of its class in the country, and has been visited by many of the leading physicians and surgeons in the world, primarily with the view to acquainting themselves with the methods of hospitalization employed by Dr. Corwin. Dr. Corwin took a prominent start in the founding of the Minnequa Country club, which has recently become the Minnequa University club. He was a thirty-third degree Mason and was past eminent grand commander, Colorado commandery, Knights Templar. He belonged to various other Masonic orders, and was a member of the local Kiwanis and Monday Evening clubs and of the Y. M. C. A. He was president in 1898, of the Pueblo county Medical society; president of the Colorado State Conference of Charities and Corrections in 1906; a member of the board of the Colorado State Prison Association in 1906; for eight years a member of the board of the Colorado State Normal school; for five years on the Colorado state board of health, and a member of the board of the Colorado Agricultural college since 1905. He was a member of the American Medical association and was a charter member and fellow in the American College of Surgeons, a national organization of prominent surgeons formed in 1915. He was also a member of the American Academy of Medicine, American Public Health association, Rocky Mountain Interstate Medical association, Committee of One Hundred, Association of Military Surgeons, a member and director of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis; a member of the International Congress of Tuberculosis and vice president of the Colorado Society; a member of the Archaeological Institute of America and a director of the Colorado society; a regent of the Archaeological School of America; chairman of the committee on health and public instruction of the State Medical Society and the A. M. A. and a life member of the Academy of Hidalgos of America. Other organizations to which Dr. Corwin belonged included the following: National Board association; American Association of Industrial Physicians and Surgeons; Colorado Hospital association; Association of Railway Chief Surgeons, life member, American Hospital association; American Genetic association; Union Library association; American Bible society; Western Surgical association, and American Nature association. He was a first lieutenant in the Colorado National guard in 1883 and 1884, captain and first assistant surgeon, 1884-1887; major and surgeon, 1887-98; colonel and aide-de-camp, 1903, 1904, 1907 and 1908. During the World war he was a four-minute man. Dr. Corwin was born at Binghampton, N. Y., May 24, 1852, the son of Walter Scott Corwin and Rhoda Little Corwin. His early education was received at Port Jarvis, N. Y., and from 1871 to 1874 he took a scientific course at Cornell University. He received his M.D. degree from the University of Michigan in 1878, and served his internship at St. Luke's hospital, Chicago, in 1879-80. In 1903 he was given a degree of Doctor of Laws by the University of Colorado and the following year he received an honorary Master of Arts degree from Denver University. He was the author of many articles, most of which were on surgical subjects and were published in various medical magazines. In 1893 and again in 1900 he went to Europe to study in hospitals there. He was instructor in comparative anatomy and microscopy at the University of Michigan from 1874-78, and held the chair of surgery at the University of Colorado. He gained considerable prominence as a lecturer on medical sociology and other themes and from 1878-84 he was assistant editor of the magazine "Physicians and Surgeons." In addition to his connection with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, Dr. Corwin was chief surgeon for the Colorado and Wyoming railroad and the Crystal River railroad, and was division surgeon for the Missouri Pacific railroad. He was local and consulting surgeon for the Denver and Rio Grande and Colorado and Southern railroads, and was one of the owners of The Chieftain. Dr. Corwin never married. His nearest living relatives are five nephews and a niece, the children of his deceased sister, Florence Corwin Senger. They are: Mrs. William Parshall, Fort Jarvis, N. Y.; Louis C.

Costello, Arthur Leroy Arthur Leroy Costello - Pueblo Chieftain - January 02, 2006 - Arthur Leroy Costello passed away Dec. 26, 2005. He was a longtime Pueblo resident and business owner, also, he retired from CF&I. A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2006, at Romero Chapel. Reception to follow at Romero Courtesy Hall. Costello, Joseph F. Jr. Joseph F. Costello Jr. Denver Rocky Mountain News December 29, 2005 - Costello, longtime employee for Denver Public Works - Joseph F. Costello Jr. doctored papers to enlist in the Army at age 14 - Longtime Denver resident Joseph F. Costello Jr.'s boyhood dream of becoming a soldier came true in 1946 when he doctored his older sister's birth certificate and enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 14. When his scheme was discovered a year later, Mr. Costello - who died Dec. 3 at age 73 - returned to Denver with an honorable discharge. "He was such a tiny little thing. I don't even know how they let him in," said his widow, Josie Costello. "He went in early, but they found out his age and sent him home." Undeterred, Mr. Costello joined the Air Force in 1951. Based in Japan, he served as an aircraft radar operator during the Korean War and was the sole survivor when his plane was shot down, according to daughter Joy Costello. His chest was burned, and he lost color vision in both eyes. Mr. Costello was discharged in 1955 as a staff sergeant. Later that year, he began a 33-year career with the Denver Public Works Department, eventually rising to director of administration. Also in 1955, he married the former Josie Cordova. Mr. Costello never earned a high school diploma or a college degree. But he attained a high school equivalency certificate in the Army and years later took college courses at the University of Southern California. He was trained as an electrician at Denver's Western Radio Institute and the Denver Opportunity Electrical School. He began his career with the Denver Public Works Department as a parking lot attendant, then moved up to elevator repairman. In the 1960s, he worked as a clerk and office manager at Stapleton International Airport. Mr. Costello retired in 1988. Because of his war injuries, he was eligible for disability payments from the federal government. But he never filed the paperwork required to claim those benefits, Joy Costello said. "He felt he was fortunate that he didn't have any dismemberment and felt he could still contribute to society," she said. "He had no reason to claim.

(James Bonley) Cox - On Christmas Eve, the spirit of J.B. Cox, familiarly known as "Fin", took its flight and today both his immediate family and Clay and Scott Chilcott are especially mourning his demise. Twelve years ago Christmas Eve, his only sister, Mrs. G(eorge) M. (Jenny) Chilcott, died and necessarily this calls to the memory of her sons, the loss of their mother and causes them to feel more keenly the loss of their uncle. The deceased was born in Morgan County, Ill., 60 years ago. He came to Colorado in 1866 and has resided continuously in this county and state since. He leaves a wife, three sons, and one daughter to mourn his death (Sherman, Wade, Claude, and Birdie Steele). Politically, "Finn" had always been a staunch Democrat and was at one time county assessor of Pueblo County, filling this responsible office with great credit to himself and later was elected to the Legislature, acquitting himself with honors, introducing several important bills. "Finn" Cox was generous to a fault, and his friends were legion in every walk of life! He was known, honored and loved. Today and in years to come many will miss and mourn his death. His brother-in-law, Will Harrington, will be present to attend the funeral, coming from Tekamah, Neb. The funeral services will be held tomorrow from his home on the St. Charles. Cox, John John Cox Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain September 7, 1876 Four Men Killed by Foul Air in Gilpin County The Central Register says that on Tuesday morning, August 20, about half-past ten o'clock, a boy about fourteen years old, named Fred Theuerkauff, descended into the Gray mine, long abandoned, in Lake gulch, the shaft being about seventy-five feet deep, to examine it with a view of seeing whether it could be worked. Being absent for a longer time than seemed necessary, or was expected, his brother August (the family living near by) and his father went to look for him. August at once descended into the shaft, and also being detained a long time, the father became alarmed for his safety, and himself went down. The mother and daughter knowing what had occurred, became frightened in turn and aroused the neighborhood. Among the volunteers was John Cox, an old miner, who took a rope and went to the bottom of the shaft. He soon called for more rope, which was given him. The men on the surface hearing nothing further, pulled up the rope, when it was discovered that all four men were at the bottom and probably stifled by bad air. No more volunteers could be obtained, and a courier was sent to Central City for assistance and means to inject pure air in the shaft, so that the bodies might be recovered. Robert Hastle spread the alarm in town, and soon a number of citizens were mounted and left for the scene of the disaster, Dr. Aduddle and Wohlgesinger, Thos. Mullen, J. D. Wood and others accompanying him. Arriving at the shaft, hose was inserted into the shaft with a large bellows attached, and fresh air pumped in. Mr. Mullen then called for volunteers to descend and recover the bodies. A dozen at once stepped forward, Wm. C. Miller was selected to make the descent. He took a rope with him, attached it to the body of Fred Theuerkauff, Sr., and gave the order to hoist, when the dead and the living came out together. Wm. Batchelder then descended, and in due time he, with the body of A. Theuerkauff, were raised to the surface. Mr. Leary was the third volunteer, and brought out Fred Theuerkauff, Jr. Charles Batchelder was the fourth volunteer, and came out with the body of John Cox. The physicians did everything in their power to resuscitate the unfortunate victims, but without avail. They had evidently died almost instantly after reaching the bottom of the shaft. The scene at the opening was almost heartrending as the corpses were brought up. The coroner's inquest was subsequently held and a verdict rendered that the deceased came to their death by the effects of foul air, as above described. Mr. Cox had been married but a short time, and leaves a young wife to mourn his loss. Cox, Kenneth D. Kenneth D. Cox Pueblo Chieftain September 26, 2006 - Kenneth D.

Crawford - Pueblo Chieftain - March 16, 2000 - Chieftain file photo - Bill Crawford, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient for World War II bravery, in 1998 - Medal recipient Crawford dies at 81 by Dennis Darrow - William Crawford, whose bravery as an Army private in World War II led to his becoming the first of Pueblo's four Medal of Honor recipients, died Wednesday at his home in Palmer Lake near Colorado Springs, a friend close to the family said. He was 81. Crawford's death comes six months before his childhood hometown of Pueblo hosts the national Congressional Medal of Honor Society convention, an event expected to draw many of the nation's 149 surviving Medal recipients. At the convention, the city will unveil a major outdoor memorial to its four Medal recipients - the others of whom survive - but now another event will take on equal attention. Each year, the Medal recipients conduct a special memorial service in honor of colleagues who've died in the past year. Crawford is the second Medal recipient to pass away this year. Funeral arrangements weren't available Wednesday. Over the years, Pueblo has honored Crawford and the other three Medal recipients on numerous occasions. In the 1990s, Crawford made frequent visits as part of the city's Home of Heroes activities. Most recently, he visited to inspect the bronze sculpture of him that's part of the outdoor display. Crawford received the Medal for the heroism he displayed during heavy fighting in September 1943 near Altavilla, Italy, when on three separate occasions - and on his own initiative - he raced through intense enemy fire to detonate hand grenades on enemy gun sites. The story of his award goes beyond those actions. After the battle, Crawford, who was a squad scout, was captured by the Germans and presumed dead. So in 1945, the Medal was given to his father. Later in the year, Crawford was among a group of soldiers rescued from German control. Crawford spoke modestly of his award. "I was just glad that I was doing my part," he said in an interview several years ago. "I figured it was just a normal call of duty. I happened to be at the right place at the right time." Crawford re-enlisted in the Army in 1947 and retired in 1967 as a master sergeant. Later, he worked as a janitor at the Air Force Academy. While working at the academy, he mentioned to friends that he never received the Medal from the president. In 1984, during that year's Air Force Academy graduation, President Ronald Reagan presented him the Medal. Pueblo's other hometown Medal recipients are Carl Sitter and Jerry Murphy, honored for their efforts in the Korean War; and Drew Dix, honored for heroism in the Vietnam War. Today, all three reside away from Pueblo but visit often and plan to return for the national convention, set Sept. 19-24. The Denver Rocky Mountain News - March 17, 2000 - Pueblo War Hero Crawford Dies - William Crawford, a World War II veteran who received the prestigious Medal of Honor, died Wednesday at his home in Palmer Lake near Colorado Springs, a family friend said. He was 81. Crawford's death comes 6 months before his childhood hometown of Pueblo hosts the National Congressional Medal of Honor Society convention, an event expected to draw many of the nation's 149 surviving Medal recipients. The Medal was bestowed on Crawford for the heroism he displayed as an Army private during heavy fighting in September 1943 near Altaville, Italy. - The Colorado Springs Gazette - March 19, 2000 - William J. Crawford - Retired Master Sgt. Crawford, 81, died March 15, 2000, at his residence in Palmer Lake. He was a retired civil service worker and past director of the Lucretia Vaille Museum in Palmer Lake. He served in the Army for 23 years, attaining the rank of master sergeant. He was a Medal of Honor recipient. He was born May 19, 1918, in Pueblo to George H. and Minnie (Henson) Crawford, who are deceased. He was married Jan. 13, 1946, to Eileen Bruce. He is survived by his wife; a son, Daniel Bruce; a daughter, Beverly Jean Kite; a sister, Frieda Kahle; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren. Visitation will be from 1 to 4 p.m. today and 4 to 8 p.m. Monday at Shrine of Remembrance Funeral Home, 1730 E. Fountain Blvd., 634-1597.

The Pueblo Chieftain - March 22, 2000 - Family recalls Crawford as 'our silent hero' by Dennis Darrow Colorado Springs - In the presence of family, friends and Pueblo's three other Medal of Honor recipients, William Crawford was laid to rest Tuesday at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The funeral was one for the generations. The academy's Cadet Chorale provided music and another group of cadets served as pall bearers during the morning prayer service at the Air Force Academy chapel. Afterward, the body of the 81-year-old retired Army master sergeant received a military burial at the academy's cemetery. In Denver, Gov. Bill Owens directed state offices to lower their flags to half staff on Tuesday. Pastor Ed Kite of Rocky Ford, a brother-in-law of Crawford's who delivered the main eulogy, said the World War II hero lived humbly by the creed of God, family and country. "He loved this country with all his heart," Kite said. Calling Crawford "our silent hero," Kite said his brother-in-law wasn't one to trumpet his own accomplishments. Moreover, he would help on any project no matter how big or small, Kite said. "Bill always wanted to do his part. It didn't matter what he did." Another speaker, Pete Lemon of Colorado Springs, a Medal of Honor recipient during the Vietnam War, recalled the close friendship he formed with Crawford in recent years. "Bill always had a smile on his face. He always had a handshake. He always had a story," Lemon said. An estimated 300 people - many from Pueblo and Southern Colorado attended the funeral, the threat of a heavy spring snowstorm never materializing. Those gathered included Crawford's wife, Eileen; his son, Daniel Bruce Crawford of Rocky Ford; his daughter, Beverly Jean Kite of Rocky Ford; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a sister, Frieda Kahle of Idaho Springs. Also in attendance were Pueblo's three other Medal of Honor recipients: Carl Sitter and Jerry Murphy from the Korean War and Drew Dix from the Vietnam War. The group - all of whom live outside Colorado now - had hoped their next reunion would come this fall when Pueblo hosts the national Congressional Medal of Honor Society convention. The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest military honor given for "conspicuous acts of individual gallantry at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty." Nationwide, less than 1,000 such honors have been bestowed since World War I, with almost two-thirds of the recipients killed in action. Today, only 149 recipients remain alive. Pueblo's four recipients is a record for a city its size; and Pueblo also is the only city in the U.S. with three surviving hometown Medal recipients. Crawford was awarded the Medal for his heroism during heavy fighting in September 1943 near Altavilla, Italy. A squad scout, he voluntarily raced through heavy enemy gunfire on three occasions to heave hand grenades on enemy gun sites. He then retrieved an enemy machine gun to continue his advance. Later, he was captured by German soldiers and spent 19 months in a prisoner of war camp. Presumed dead by U.S. military leaders, his Medal was initially presented to his father in a 1944 ceremony at Fort Carson. In 1986 he was re-issued a Medal by President Reagan. His deep religious convictions led Crawford to forgive his German captors, Kite said. "There was no hatred. There was no malice. There was no place in his heart . . . for malice," Kite said. Crawford loved the military life but downplayed the celebrity born of the Medal. He returned from the war to marry Eileen and work as an Army recruiter in the Colorado Springs area. In time the couple began raising their family on their small ranch in Palmer Lake near Colorado Springs. His passion for the military was so strong that, after retiring from the Army in the 1960s, he explored other jobs with little enthusiasm but then learned of a janitor's opening at the academy. He gladly accepted. "There were young people there," Kite recalled. Crawford's appreciation for young people also led him to play a key role for more than 50 years in the Palmer Lake Yule Log festival, similar to the Christmastime festival hosted in Beulah each year. Active in other civic organizations, he was a member of the Tri-Lakes Kiwanis Club, past director of the Lucretia Vaille Museum in Palmer Lake and a member of a local veteran's honor court.

Crawley, Jack Jack Crawley - Colorado Weekly Chieftain - October 22, 1868 - Our excellent correspondent A. S. W., writes us from Oro City, that Jack Crawley was shot by W. F. Phillips, on the evening of October 18, at the 5-20 saloon. Crawley died without speaking. Both had been drinking, and at the time of the shooting were disputing about some old gambling difficulty. An examination of Phillips was to be had the next day. Colorado Weekly Chieftain - October 29, 1868 - Poor Jack! While he possessed some noble and generous qualities, which commanded the respect and good feeling of many, he yet, by his overbearing, garrulous disposition while under the influence of liquor, has met the fate long predicted - a sudden, violent death. The days of rowdyism, in this part of the world, have passed, and I imagine the decent, law abiding citizen is the gainer.

It will be recalled that Mr. Crisman was at one time editor of the Green Ridge Local News. Mr. and Mrs. Crisman, with their family of seven children, lived in Green Ridge for twenty-two years. In 1917 they moved to Ordway, Colorado where Mr. Crisman published a newspaper which they edited until the close of World War I. In 1929 the W.H. Crismans moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where Mr. Crisman published a weekly newspaper until the time of his retirement from active business. For several years Mrs. Crisman had been in failing health. A recent fall resulted in a broken hip and death followed within a few days, on August 2. She was ninety-one years of age. Mrs. Crisman is survived by her seven children: Rev. Homer C. Crisman, First Methodist Church, Cheyenne, Wyoming; Mrs. Hermann Schoenen, Seattle, WA; Mrs. Estella Johnson (Mrs. Wil. R.

Crisman, William Henry William Henry Crisman - Green Ridge Missouri Local News - October 2, 1958 - Former Editor of Local News Is Dead - Word has been received in the office informing us of the death of a longtime resident of Green Ridge, William Henry Crisman. Mr. Crisman was born near Red Oak, Iowa in 1868 and with his family moved to Kansas and Nebraska where he lived until about 1895. At that time he moved to Green Ridge, Missouri, or as he often recalled, he "rode a bicycle from Nebraska to Missouri." Mrs. Crisman and their son, Homer, came shortly after the arrival of Mr. Crisman. Farming was engaged in by Mr. Crisman for a few years prior to the purchase of the Green Ridge Local News, then owned by Harry Farr. During the 22 years Mr. Crisman lived in Green Ridge the family increased by five daughters and one son, Mr. Crisman was interested in community affairs and his newspaper became a medium to aid community development. At one time he helped organize and direct the community brass band. He was a member of the former Methodist Episcopal Church. He also belonged to several fraternal orders but took most active part in the Masonic order. On several occasions he was master of the local Masonic Lodge! In 1914 he was recognized in a special way by being appointed District Deputy Grand lecturer in the St. Louis District of the Grand Lodge until the time of his death. One of his most cherished possessions was a beautiful watch appropriately inscribed and presented to him by the local lodge on December 25, 1911. Apart from his newspaper interests Mr. Crisman engaged in a number of enterprises. Together with George Hollenbeck he built the first grain elevator in Green Ridge. Both men later disposed of their interests in this project. Mr. Crisman and the late John Ridenour then were engaged in the real estate business for several years. By 1917 the family needs had developed to such an extent that another move seemed necessary. Mr. Crisman and his son, Homer purchased the county seat newspaper in Ordway, Colorado, and the family moved to that Colorado community. While in Ordway Mr. Crisman's community leadership ability was recognized when he was elected to membership in the state legislature. Following the close of the First World War the Crismans disposed of their newspaper interests in Ordway. Shortly after this Mr. Crisman moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where he edited a weekly newspaper until the time of his retirement at the age of seventy five years. Mrs. Crisman died in 1956 and at this time Mr. Crisman moved to Denver, Colorado to be near his two daughters living there. Mr. Crisman had enjoyed exceptional good health until shortly before his death which resulted from cerebral hemorrhage September 16, 1958. Funeral services were conducted in Pueblo, Colorado on Friday, September 19 and burial by the side of Mrs. Crisman was in Valhallo Cemetery. Mr. Crisman had kept an active, lively interest in the members of his family and was greatly beloved by each member. The occasion of his death brought the children of the family together for the first time in a long number of years. Mr. Crisman is survived by his seven children: The Reverend Homer C. Crisman, Box 18, Lander, Wyoming; Grace Schoenen, 1027 Beleview Court, Seattle, WA; Mrs. Estelle Johnson, 46 Woodlawn, Hitchcock, TX; Mrs. Faye Poole, 1722 Randolf, Topeka, KS; Mrs. Elvie Metcalf, 835 South Fillmore, Denver, CO; Lee Crisman, General Delivery, Pueblo, CO.

Josephine "Jo" Cross, former La Veta mayor, died Dec. 5, 2008. She was 93. She joined the staff of the Huerfano Journal last July. Jo was born Nov. 25, 1915 in Langdon, Kansas. She was a career educator, teaching English and journalism at the high school level. During World War II she lived in Brazil where she taught hydraulics to the American pilots stationed there. When she returned state-side, Jo began teaching in Nebraska, where she met and married her second husband, Walter Jochem. The couple moved several more times, living in various towns in South Dakota and Illinois. She completed her teaching career in Valentine, Nebraska, where she was divorced, and retired to Rogers, Arkansas. After a serious fall and injury in 1978, Jo decided to move to La Veta to be closer to her only sister and two nieces in 1979. She immediately became active with, community affairs and was a contributing factor in obtaining low-cost senior housing. In April 1990 she was elected town mayor, the first and only female mayor of the town, but was forced to resign in March 1991 when her eyesight began failing rapidly due to macular degeneration. In 1994 she moved to Trinidad State Nursing Home but when she realized she retained enough sight to cope on her own, she relocated to Corazon Square apartments in Trinidad. Jo loved to solve and create word puzzles. She wrote articles for encyclopedias as well as for the local newspapers, including the old Valley Voice, Huerfano World, Signature, and most recently, the Huerfano Journal. Jo wrote opinion pieces (she always had an opinion!) and most recently, her reminiscences of the Cuchara Camps of her younger years. Jo entertained the younger set at the Camps by playing piano for their dances as well as dreaming up treasure and scavenger hunts. She spent many summers with her mother in the Cross Patch cabin in Cuchara, and did much of the building and maintenance herself. The Cross family first came to Cuchara in 1931, and purchased their home in 1938 after renting it each summer. Jo later purchased her own cabin across the parkway from the Cross Patch. In 1959 Jo assisted her mother in writing the book River of Friendship, a history of Cuchara and its residents. In 1970 Jo updated the book by adding new residents and had it published. In the early 1980s she devised the first Cuchara Valley Directory, a book with hand-drawn maps showing the properties' locations and owners, from the Gap south to the Forks. Jo was predeceased by her parents, the Revs. D. F. and Hazel Cross and sister Helen Colvin. She is survived by her nieces Sara Jo Murphy of Cuchara and Olpe, Kansas, Nancy Christofferson, La Veta, and many cousins and dear friends. Cremation has taken place. She requested there be no services. Any contributions may be made to the La Veta Library, of which she was a former board member and staunch supporter. Send donations to La Veta Public Library, P. O. Box 28, La Veta, CO 81055. Huerfano County World - December 12, 2008 - Former La Veta Mayor Jo Cross passes - By Gene C. Johnson Jr., World Staff Writer - The fondest memories La Veta Mayor Mickey Schmidt has of Josephine "Jo" Cross were the friendly arguments they shared. "Jo had a unique personality," Schmidt told the World. "She was kind of cantankerous, but she was good-hearted. She was very adamant about her point of view, and that's what made her an interesting person. She made sure things got done." Cross, a former mayor of La Veta, died Dec. 5 at age 93. "We had a lot of little back and forths, discussing different things," Schmidt continued. "We had different opinions. But, at the end of the day, we were friends. I was sorry to hear of her passing, and I consider her to be my friend. I think the feeling was mutual, but we disagreed on a lot of things. You can disagree without being disagreeable with Jo." La Veta Trustee Dale Davis simply stated: "She was a good friend." Cross was born Nov. 25, 1915, in Langdon, Kan. A career educator, she taught English and journalism at the high school level in several states and, during World War II, taught hydraulics to U.S. pilots stationed in Brazil. After she returned stateside, she moved to Nebraska, where she met and married Walter Jochem. At that time she retired to Rogers, Ark., where she worked as a police dispatcher. In 1979 she moved to La Veta to be closer to family and became active in the community. Cross was elected mayor of La Veta in April 1990, but was forced to resign in March 1991 due to failing eyesight. In 1994 she moved to Trinidad and was most recently a resident of Corazon Square, said her niece, Nancy Christofferson. According to Christofferson, Cross enjoyed solving and creating word puzzles, and wrote the La Veta news column for the Huerfano World in the early 1980s. For many years she wrote the Cross Patch opinion column for the paper, and devised the crossword puzzles. Christofferson said Cross also had been employed by the defunct Valley Voice and the Signature until joining the staff of the Huerfano Journal last July. Jo was the author of the revised River of Friendship book, originally written by her mother in 1959, and the Cuchara Valley Directory, an atlas of seasonal homes in the upper valley. Cross was predeceased by her parents, the Revs. D. E. and Hazel Cross, and her sister, Helen Colvin. She is survived by nieces Sara Jo Murphy, of Cuchara and Olpe, Kan., and Christofferson, of La Veta. Cross, Mary A. Mary A. Cross Pueblo Indicator January 8, 1916 Deaths and Funerals Mrs. Mary A.

Curtis - Akron Weekly Pioneer Press April 27, 1900 By the breaking of a scaffolding ninety-five feet high on the dome of the new "stove" being erected at the steel works at Pueblo, five men were hurled to the earth, one of whom, F. D. Curtis, was instantly killed, and J. W. Stanton, a fellow worker, had both legs broken and his skull crushed and will probably die. The accident occurred while the men were at work putting the dome of the "stove." From the "stove" to the walls of the big stacks angle bars for support are run at frequent intervals twelve feet apart, changing so that there is only six feet in the clear. The dead man was almost crushed to pulp, having his neck broken, skull crushed and all limbs smashed. He was a German, living on Carterette street, and leaves a wife and one child. He was a member of the A. O. U. W., No. 45, Bessemer, and was an assistant boiler maker at the steel works. The other three men, F. H. Freebury, T. Van Bibber and Morgan Williams, escaped with but a few bruises, Freebury and Williams catching the angle bars after falling about twenty feet. Van Bibber seized a rope attached to the rigger on top of the dome and saved himself by sliding down the rope. It is stated that the men working on the "stove" have repeatedly asked that a second scaffold be kept under the one on which they were working, in case of accident. For some reason this platform was never placed there. Fort Collins Courier April 26, 1900 Four men at work on a new blast furnace at Pueblo from a scaffold eighty feet high, fell to the ground. The sudden breaking of an iron support caused the scaffold to give way. Francis E. Curtis was killed by the fall, J. W. Stanton was so badly injured that he cannot get well, and T. V. Freebury and Morgan Williams saved themselves from fatal injuries by catching hold of a rope and an iron bar in their descent, and holding on until rescued.
