Mace, Isabel
Isabel Mace - Glenwood Post Independent - February 5, 2006 - Glenwood Springs, CO - At 10 a.m. on Jan. 30, 2006, in her 87th year, Isabel Mace, the silent giant of Toklat, died. This is her story. Isabel Mace's roots are generations deep in the southern Indiana community of Corydon, where she was born Isabel Pfrimmer Hays on Sept. 13, 1918. She enjoyed a well-grounded childhood of opportunity. Her father was an attorney and a dairy farmer who nightly read to her books of great literature. Her mother was a college-educated homemaker, a music teacher and a very early advocate of healthy living via natural, organic foods. Isabel followed her older brother, Clay Blaine Hays Jr. to Grinnell (he then went on to the University of Indiana for a law degree so he could join the family practice). Her younger brother, Samuel Pfrimmer Hays, graduated from Swarthmore with a B.A. in psychology and continued on to Harvard for a Ph.D. in history. Sam was the chairman of the department of history at the University of Pittsburgh from 1960-73. Family histories, legacies and connections were a significant part of Isabel's life. Isabel received the Golden Eaglet Award, the highest honor from the Girl Scouts of America, in 1937 for her outstanding efforts in community service and personal achievement. She earned her bachelor's degree in sociology from Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa, in 1941. At Grinnell, Isabel met her husband of 52 years, Stuart Aitken Mace, a native of Denver. They were married in 1941, shortly after their graduation and just weeks before Stuart's draft orders were issued. Isabel later reflected that she simply let fate take her by the hand. After the war they settled for a very short time in Boulder so that Stuart could resume his studies in plant genetics. Instead, with their growing family, they came to the Aspen community in January 1948 at the invitation of Aspen revivalists Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke. The Maces personified a self-reliant, post World War II generation that renounced the then contemporary American dream for simply life in a sleepy place. Along with her late husband, Isabel pioneered modern day Ashcroft, eventually bringing snow plows, telephone service, school buses and electricity. In a rare moment of regret, Isabel later proclaimed that "bringing the power line up this valley was the worse thing we ever did." They settled in the Castle Creek Valley among the weathered remains of the silver-mining ghost town of Ashcroft, 9,500 feet in elevation and 11 miles south of Aspen. Ashcroft was a six-mile dog-sled trip to the nearest pavement when the Maces built their home and business, named Toklat, there in 1948. Toklat evolved to become ground zero for community sentiment, among the most original and most enduring businesses of the ski era Aspen. The Maces' operations at Toklat were continually shaped to suit the changing times and their changing needs. In 1949, they established Toklat Husky Kennel and Toklat Wilderness Lodge, offering day-long and overnight dog-sledding trips into backcountry huts and accommodating up to 16 guests in their small lodge/home, also a licensed restaurant. In the mid-1950s the Toklat huskies became famous, capturing the imagination of a generation, when they starred on the popular show "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon."The Maces' independent way of life demanded a union of strong interdependence. Isabel offered the stern backbone of Toklat, holding it all together with a quiet efficiency. On any given day, it was not unusual for her to care for and feed five children, a small staff, a household of guests, a hundred huskies and a Hollywood film crew. A simple and resourceful woman, she ground her grains, "darned on darns" as June Kirkwood said, and learned to orchestrate a month's worth of meals on a shoestring without duplicating a menu. Few women of her day worked harder than Isabel Mace. Beginning in the early 1960s, first in Aspen and later in Ashcroft, the Maces opened a series of distinctive restaurants incorporating Isabel's wisdom of natural foods and Stuart's flare for unique flavors. The roast goose is remembered by legions. By definition, the Toklat meal was the antithesis of fast food. The Toklat restaurants were easily among the first to intentionally promote and offer organically grown foods. Isabel was a passionate teacher of her kitchen craft. A second-generation advocate, she endlessly practiced and preached her support of and belief in natural, organically grown foods. Serving food with a conscience, Isabel searched far and wide to obtain suitable ingredients, and in the process she loosely organized an early natural food cooperative involving family, friends and source suppliers. Isabel published a cookbook, "Recipe Requests from the Mace Kitchens," in 1994 and republished it in 1999. A family business, Toklat succeeded through ingenuity and effort. Over several decades, Isabel coordinated a cherished mail-order business offering among other things sourdough starter, exotic tea blends, baked grains and jams and jellies homemade from berries hand gathered in the area by family and staff. The Maces also collected and sold fine handmade crafts, many made by Stuart himself, or of other indigenous origin. Toklat's endlessly creative offerings evolved in the late 1970s into Toklat Gallery, a Mace business that continues today in Basalt. Between the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, Isabel contributed to the various efforts of the Malachite Small School and Farm in Gardner, an organization founded by the Mace family to promote sustainable agriculture methods. Isabel stood for all efforts to preserve and protect the special place in which she lived, as well as all wild places beyond. Additionally, she supported the movement toward establishing the Ashcroft ghost town as a national historic site. Less is still more. Small is still beautiful. Hers was a way of life, passionate with purpose, difficult by design and proud on principle. She will be remembered as a woman who worked tirelessly for her family, her home, her community and a better world with much contemplation and without complaint. Isabel Mace left her mark. She was a selfless and humble woman of strong conviction who never put herself forward for vanity or for praise. For much of her life, she worked quietly in the shadows of her legendary husband; however, she will be remembered as the giant upon whose shoulders he stood. Together they raised five fiercely independent children in rustic simplicity, and together they made an immeasurable impression on the community of Aspen and on the tens of thousands who joined them for a meal at their hanging tables. Isabel died on a beautiful snowy morning from a life lived long and well. To the end she continued to floss though she knew her time was limited, she cleared her plate until the very end, and she never forgot the purpose of food - to nourish the body, mind and soul. Stuart died in 1993. Their eldest son died in a mountain climbing accident in 1986. She is survived by her brother Sam, three sons, a daughter and six grandchildren. At Isabel's specific request there will be no memorial service. She will be cremated and her ashes will be spread by her children and grandchildren. Over the past several years, Isabel spent a great deal of time sharing stories about the extraordinary life of the Maces in the Castle Creek Valley. These stories will soon become a book. The desire to preserve history runs deep in Isabel's family. To assure that this type of tradition is continued and that other stories will also be preserved and published for future generations to share, please make a donation to the Isabel Mace Oral History Project at the Aspen Historical Society, 620 W. Bleeker, Aspen, CO 81611.

Mace, Stuart
Stewart Mace - Rocky Mountain News - August 07, 1993 - Aspen dog-sled operator Stuart Mace, who established a dog-sled operation in Aspen in 1948 and saw his dogs featured on the old television series Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, has died of cancer at age 74. Mr. Mace and his wife, Isabel, established the Toklat Lodge at nearby Ashcroft. His sled-dog operation, which numbered as many as 60 huskies at a time, was famous worldwide. The dogs' baying, or "singing," was recorded by CBS records and an Italian record company. French composer Darius Milhaud wrote a composition based on the musical tones he heard when Mace's dog "choir" performed. In addition to the Sergeant Preston series, his dogs appeared in the 3-D movie Those Sisters from Seattle, a musical about the rigors of life in the Yukon. Mace objected to the Hollywood sled dog term "mush." "You can get them started any way you want, but don't yell `mush,' " Mace said. "The dogs need sharp, crisp words to command their attention." A lifelong environmentalist, Mr. Mace was one of the founders of the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. He also was a nature artist. In the 1970s, Mr. Mace, a native of Denver, and his family launched the Malachite Family Farm in Huerfano County. It acquired school status in 1983. Mr. Mace earned a degree in plant pathology at Grinnell College. He married Isabel in 1941. During World War II, Mr. Mace was assigned to the 10th Mountain Division and lived at Salida while Camp Hale was being built near Leadville. He volunteered for the dog-sled detachment and trained dog-sled teams for the planned invasion of Norway. After the war, he bought the puppies of the sled-dog unit and started his operation in Aspen. Mr. Mace is survived by four of his five sons, Lynn, Alan, Kent and Bruce. His son Greg was killed in a 1986 fall in the Maroon Bells in a mountain rescue accident. Memorial services were to be announced.

Madrid, Jose Miguel
Jose Miguel Madrid - The Chronicle-News - September 27, 1944 - Jose Miguel Madrid, one of the most highly esteemed and widely known pioneer citizens of Las Animas county and southern Colorado, former state senator and county superintendent of schools, prominent Catholic layman, passed away at 10:45 last night at his home 316 East Sixth Street, after a prolonged illness. He was 81 years old and a resident of this community most of his life. Honored as one of the most distinguished of pioneer citizens, a leader in educational activities, a public official and state legislator at periods of his life, Mr. Madrid was an acknowledged leader among Spanish-American people, and recognized as an authority on early day history of Trinidad and community. Long active as a Republican, Mr. Madrid had served four terms or eight years as county superintendent of schools, and twice had served in the state legislature, the first time in the lower house prior to 1904, the second time when he was elected state senator from Las Animas County in 1932, serving four years. As a small boy he had experienced excitement of long overland treks with freighters over the old Santa Fe Trail thru Willow Springs, N.M., to Puerto De Luna or Las Vegas, and thru the "Uncle Dick" Wooton tollgate to Trinidad and El Moro. As a youth he had learned the business of overland freighting and had met many of the best known of the early pioneer folk. His funeral will take place Friday morning at 9 o'clock from the Mullare Funeral Home followed at 9:30 by solemn Requiem High Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic church, and with burial in the family lot in the Catholic cemetery. Thursday evening at the drawing room at 7:30 there will be rosary by Knights of Columbus, at 8 o'clock by the Sagrada Corazon de Jesus, and at 8:30 by the Holy Trinity altar society, the Sagrada Familia and public. Mora County to what is now Madrid Plaza up the river, west of Trinidad, the plaza having been named for the Madrid family.  There he had lived on the Madrid ranch place. He attended country schools, and in 1879 the family had returned to the former home in Mora County, N. M. remaining ten years and returning to Madrid Plaza in 1889. During the ten years the family made their home in Mora County, Mr. Madrid had taught school and been elected one term as county superintendent of Colfax County, New Mexico. In 1904 being active and prominent in the Republican party of this county, he was elected county superintendent of schools and was re-elected three times.  Upon retiring from this office he engaged in the real estate and insurance business which continued to be his business until ill health forced retirement.  Serving one term as state senator 1932-1936 he retired from political activity and public office. For nine years he had served as an interpreter in the district court, many years ago. He was active and prominent in the affairs of Holy Trinity Catholic church, being a charter member of Holy Trinity Council No. 1972, Knight of Columbus of which he had been Grand Knight and for some years Chancellor.  He had also served the state council Knight of Columbus as State Advocate and State Secretary.  He was also a fourth degree member. Distinguished by a high sense of honor, courteous, kindly, Senator Madrid held the respect and affectionate regard of people all over Las Animas County, and as a member of the state legislature he was greatly esteemed as a gentleman of refinement and high character.  Few citizens of this community were more generally respected than he. Mr. Madrid perhaps had a wider acquaintance among the elder pioneer folk than any other man in the community.  A few years back he was one of the eleven pioneer citizens who had been residing in Los Animas County more than 60 years.  Of this eleven possibly the only one surviving is Theodore Abeyta. Senator Madrid had been in steadily declining health for some time.  About the time he retired as state senator his voice failed him.  He became less active in fraternal affairs and publicly, but continued as a most devout churchgoer, and his counsel and advice were frequently sought on matters of community interest. His memory had remained keen for historical facts.  Oftentimes he could, without resorting to records give authentic and accurate data regarding persons and events of the early Trinidad and community.  Of his many activities during his more than 70 years of residence he had been most distinguished for his service and contribution to education.  He lived at peace and in harmony with all men, said no ill word, and was ever a sturdily patriotic, law abiding American citizen and Christian gentleman. Deceased is survived by his wife, Mrs. Inez Madrid, five daughters and two sons.  Daughters are Mrs. Sofia Salazar of San Luis, Colo.; Mrs. Esther Morris of Cheyenne, Wyo.; Mrs. Eva Christy of Benton City, Wash.; Mrs. Corinne Paul of Denver, and Miss Rebecca Madrid of Trinidad.  Sons are Manuel Madrid of Phoenix, Ariz., and Benjamin of San Francisco, Calif. Two half brothers are Nemecio Baros of Denver and J. P. Baros of Los Angeles. Seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren also survive.

Madson, Carlyle C.
Carlyle C. Madson - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - November 3, 1961 - Four Die in Plane Crash Near Pueblo - Flying into a blinding snowstorm, four men crashed to their deaths in a light plane Thursday 17 miles southeast of Pueblo. The fast-moving storm cleared within a few hours to reveal the wreckage on the Butler Ranch. Another airman, Glenn L. Nash, spotted the shattered remains on a flight from Pueblo to Raton, N.M. Those killed were Carlyle C. Madson, 50, the pilot, and Henry J. Pannell, Jr., 30 both of San Diego, Calif.; Paul Miller, 38 (?), La Mesa, Calif., and Vernon L. Parrish, 32, Denver. Parrish headed an electronics firm with offices in Denver, Albuquerque and Salt Lake City. The others all were employes of a San Diego firm. First on the scene, according to Maj. Lawrence H. Reibscheid, information officer of Group III, Civil Air Patrol, were three CAP officers and two deputy sheriffs of Pueblo County. They arrived on the scene at about 4:30 p.m. The searchers were Lt. Col. W. A. Coe of Black Forest, deputy communications officer of the Colorado Wing CAP; 1st Lt. Joseph Girodano and 1st Lt. Elvina Smith of the Pueblo County (?) CAP, and deputy sheriffs Theodore Nickolett and M. C. Forester. The search was directed by Lt. Col. Herbert E. Hammond of Colorado Springs, commanding officer of Group III. Operations officer was Maj. Earl Cole of Manitou Springs, also of Group III. The wreckage was scattered over a quarter mile area of the flat prairie land north of the Huerfano River, Hammond said. The largest piece of wreckage could be put in the back of a pickup truck. One body was in the nose wreckage. Two others were 80 feet ahead of where the plane struck the ground. The fourth body was at the point of impact. Controllers at the Pueblo airport said the plane, bound from Denver to Albuquerque, N.M., radioed at 10:43 a.m. that it was returning to Pueblo after running into the blizzard. Efforts to communicate with the plane failed. Workmen on the Butler Ranch said they heard the roar of a plane, apparently at full throttle, about 10:45 a.m. but heard no crash. The plane did not burn. It dug a furrow about 8 inches deep before disintegrating. Sheriff officers said it appeared the plane struck in a pancake fashion. Reibscheid said that since Feb. 4 of this year, the CAP has participated in more than 25 search and rescue missions of this type.

Memorial service, 10 a.m. Monday at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Rye. Greenhorn Valley News – December 6, 2002 – "Hero" Dies Tragically in Auto Accident – On Thanksgiving Day, November 28, at approximately ................... learned ...... Maes ... in Rye ... by a local newspaper carrier. Maes was well known and respected among valley teens, and their parents, for demonstrating strength and endurance and supporting others after two of his own children were killed instantly in an auto accident in 1993. He was "heroic" in the eyes of many. According to a report by Sgt. Colletti of the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department, Maes apparently lost control of his vehicle near 8263 Cuerna Verde, and slid off the left side of the road, causing it to roll onto the driver's side. Maes, the only occupant, was partially ejected and pronounced dead on the scene of massive head trauma. Time of the accident is unknown and full details are still under investigation. [Obituary continued as above]. Greenhorn Valley News – December 6, 2002 – Tribute to a Friend by Tony Marostica – "Pablo Maes was one of the grand treasures of this Valley." Pablo Maes was my friend. In the final story I submitted for Rye T-Bolts' 2002 football season a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Pablo, although I didn't mention him by name. You might remember that I said I had a friend in the Valley, who was really more like a brother. I said that this friend was one of the most faithful of those I like to call the "T-Bolt Faithful." For those of you who weren't living in the Valley in 1993 need to know what happened here, and how those events were connected to Pablo Maes. Those who were here need to be reminded. On November 10, 1993, four Rye High School students were killed instantly in a head-on crash with a Rye Fire Department water truck on a Highway 165 curve. You've seen the spot, loved ones maintain a simple memorial there and purple and white balloons appear each November 10. It was a normal sunny morning and the kids were driving to school. Killed in the wreck were Miah Maes, Jason Kingen, Melanie Smith, and Nicole Maes. Nicole and Melanie were seniors and co-managers of the T-Bolt Football team and Miah wore #54 for the 'Bolts. He and Nicole were Pablo's children. The Cinderella story of the 1993 Rye Thunderbolt football team is forever connected to that awful accident. Unranked and unheralded, the 7-3 'Bolts lost their last game and barely made it to the post-season. A couple of days before their first playoff gave vs. highly regarded Erie, the tragedy struck. Some felt Rye shouldn't even attempt to play. But the decision was made to hold a memorial service on Friday and to Erie on Saturday. Purple and white balloons were released into a blue Rye sky. To the utter amazement of many thousands of readers who followed front page coverage in the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post, the 1993 Rye Thunderbolts beat Erie by 18 points, beat powerhouse West Grand 14-7 a week later, and ultimately traveled to the West Slope to play Cedaredge for the state championship. During each game, Miah's vacant helmet kept a silent vigil on the 'Bolt sidelines and Pablo Maes became the 'Bolts most vocal and visible supporter. On an unforgettable Saturday afternoon, the Rye Thunderbolts beat Cedaredge 26 to 8 and were crowned Colorado State Champions. After the final horn, the entire football team surrounded Pablo and lifted him up on their shoulders. As far as I am concerned, that demonstration of love and pride was one of the finest moments in the history of high school sports. The events of 1993 defined the final years of Pablo's life. He and his wife Virginia donated money to add improvements to the RHS football stadium. They continued to attend games and cheer on the T-Bolts while remaining involved in the lives of the 1993 team members. When my own son Jacob, who caught passes and kicked extra points for the championship team, returned from a two-year church mission, Pablo was there at the airport to welcome him back home. When another team member, my son-in-law Erik Himmelberg and my daughter Amy (who was a 1993 T-Bolt cheerleader) had their babies, Pablo and Virginia appeared bearing gifts. He was respected here and he loved all of his neighbors in return. Pablo touched the lives of many people with his jovial banter and unselfish manner. He often told me that the Greenhorn Valley and his humble home overlooking Lake Beckwith was paradise and here he felt like a king. Yet another tragic automobile accident in this valley has claimed Pablo's life. It is a bitter irony. Pablo my friend, we will miss you.

Mahony, D. A.
D. A. Mahony – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 20, 1879 – Obituary – Yesterday's mail brought Dubuque papers containing particulars of the death of Hon. D. A. Mahony, of that city. The proprietor of this paper took his first lessons in the art of printing under Mr. Mahony's tutelage in the Herald office of that city in 1851. Mr. Mahony was one of God's noble-men – an honest man – he was remarkably talented – a brilliant and vigorous writer, having an excellent command of language in which to express his thoughts. He was a profound thinker, a splendid logician, and a man of fine impulses, being generous and kind to those whom he considered his friends, and seldom spoke disparagingly of any one. He was firm in his political opinions, and when his mind had become set upon a principle it was like adamant – it took a power of argument to convince him of his error. He was honest in his convictions, and his soul was full of patriotism for the perpetuation of the republic which he so fondly loved. But his work in this land of trouble is over, and may his virtues and nobleness of heart be responsive to retain the memory of a brilliant man who has gone to that home from whence no traveler returns.

Mrs. Tilton testified before the coroner that she heard some one knock at the door, and the deceased said "Charles Bennett, come in" to which he replied "You have been talking about me." She denied it, and a moment after the door burst open and Cynthia Malcom fell at Mrs. Tilton's feet, shot through the head with a pistol, and died in a few minutes. Bennett was arrested on the street, and admitted that he had shot the girl. He had in his pocket at the time of his arrest, the pistol with which he shot her. The Coroner's jury found "that the deceased came to her death by a pistol shot in the hands of Charles Bennett." The girl was twenty-three years of age and Bennett is only twenty-one.

Mall, John
John S. Mall - Huerfano World - June 1, 1989 - Mass of Christian Burial was Wednesday from St. Mary Church in Walsenburg for John S. Mall, longtime educator and Superintendent of Re-1 Schools for 16 years. Mr. Mall, 79, died Sunday, May 28, 1989, in Huerfano County Hospital following an apparent heart attack at Triple G Truck Stop outside La Veta. Born in Leadville Apr. 24, 1910, he was an infant when his parents moved to New Castle. During the influenza epidemic in 1918, his parents and grandmother died, leaving four young children. John Mall, along with his brother, was placed in St. Vincent's Orphanage in Denver. He attended and graduated from Regis High School and Regis College with the highest academic honors. He worked his way through Regis with several jobs including janitorial. During the depression, he worked for the CB&Q Railroad and later taught school in a one room house south of Wiggins. He married the former Laura Kennish of Weldona Jan. 29, 1934, and continued his education at Colorado State College of Education in Greeley where he earned his masters degree. He taught in Orchard and Buckingham. During World War II, he worked at construction. In 1945, he went to Weldona, where he later was named Superintendent until 1952 when he moved to Walsenburg to become assistant principal of the high school under Professor S.M. Andrews. Following Andrews' death, he became principal until he was named Superintendent of Re-1 School District in 1954. Mr. Mall took an early retirement in 1979 but remained as "acting Superintendent" for brief periods between school administrations. He could still be seen grooming the high school football field and other chores that reflected his care and concern for students of Re-1. Just before his death, he presented Wilma Nugent, high school cook for 27 years, the John S. Mall Friend of Education award at the school. In 1976 when Re-1 built a new high school in Walsenburg, the Board of Education paid tribute by naming the new facility after him. Tuesday, in a Pueblo Chieftain interview, his youngest son, Louis, remembered his father; "Some men measure their success by their wealth but my father was not a rich man. He was never paid very much for what he did. He got wealth from the love that the community and the family had for him, and his love to the family and the kids." In addition to his school district activities, Mr. Mall was an active Rotarian for several years, a member of the Huerfano County Chamber of Commerce and on the boards of St. Mary Credit Union and Huerfano/Las Animas County Planning. Survivors include seven children, Thomas Mall, Roanoke, VA; Louis Mall, Westport, CN; Clara Donohoe, Fort Collins; Theresa Millarkey, Locust Valley, NY; Jeanette Fischer, New York City, NY, Kathy Russell, Brick, NJ, and Lorraine Haslee, Minturn; a brother, Frank Joseph Mall, Denver, 17 grandchildren and one great-grandchild and six nieces and nephews he and his wife, who died in 1967, reared.

Manzanares, Jesus M.
Jesus Maria Manzanares - Independent - April 7, 1933 - J. M. Manzanares, 103 Years Old, Dies at Home In City Yesterday - Oldest Man in Huerfano County Dies at Home of His Daughter; Lives Colorful Life of Early Pioneer of Untamed West, was born on January 6, 1830. Came to Colorado in 1853; to Huerfano County in 1869; Settled at Cucharas and Grew With Huerfano County. Huerfano County's Grand Old Man is Dead! Jesus Maria Manzanares, the oldest man in Huerfano County, died at the age of 103 Friday morning at his home on East Sixth Street. His death marks the passing of one of the earliest pioneers of Colorado, and one of the last historical figures in this county. Manzanares was born January 6, 1830, in a little adobe house at Ojo Caliente, N.M., and during his span of life watched the development of the railroad, telephone, electricity, airplanes, radio, and all the other wonders of the present world, which have entered into the use of humans in the last century. He stated at the celebration of his 100th birthday, which was held in this city January 6, 1930, that the possibilities of the future stunned him. When asked at that time to what he attributed his longevity he stated that it was because he thought "living was too much fun to stop" and that long life was the nature of his family, for his mother lives to be 109 years of age. He came to Colorado with his parents in 1853, settling in Costillo County. They lived there and took part in the last serious outbreak of the Indians against the Mexican people in 1855. It was at this time that the Indians kidnapped two Mexican boys. He came to Huerfano County in 1869, settling at Cucharas Junction, then the proudest trading post in eastern Huerfano County. His parents left him at this time and settled at Redwing. He was married before he came to Huerfano County, having become wed to Maria Rita Tafoya in 1865, from which wedlock six children were born, all with the exception of one living at the present time. During the early years he made several trips "bull whacking" between St. Louis, Kansas and Santa Fe, all the freight being brought overland by way of Denver. When the railroad pushed thru to Cucharas Junction in 1876, Manzanares joined with others in platting pretentious town sites, and brick walls started to rise, but Cucharas dwindled and became a ghost town when the water supply gave out. In the early times wolf packs ravished the Cucharas canon district where he ran his sheep, and often he would hunt buffalo on the Apishipa east of Trinidad in the early days. He killed his last wolf 23 years ago. Manzanares came to Walsenburg eight years ago to make his home with his daughter. His wife died 10 years ago at the age of 72. For several terms Manzanares served as Justice of the Peace and constable at Cucharas, and took an active part during all of his years in Huerfano County.

Marino, Michael
Michael Marino – Durango Wage Earner – May 10, 1906 – Pueblo, May 8. – This city was the scene today of a rather desperate riot in which one man was killed and several injured.  It was the result of labor troubles at the Pueblo smelter, and resulted, at 6 o'clock this morning, in the liveliest sort of rioting.  It seems that upon being refused higher pay and shorter hours the smelter men struck and left their work.  The smelter authorities desired the strikers to leave the vicinity, but as they did not go peacefully the police were called and ordered to disperse the men.  Then trouble immediately followed.  The strikers, assisted by their wives, attacked the officers, in which they tugged freely, and a general fight ensued.  One striker was instantly shot to death by a score of deputies and a number of others were badly injured by being clubbed.  Several deputies were struck with stones and clubs from the hands of the women and were seriously hurt, notably, T. J. Burrows and W. H. Loar.  When Sheriff McMillan realized that the assault threatened the lives of his men he ordered them to shoot to kill.  A volley was fired and the rioters immediately dispersed, leaving on the field of battle Michael Marino, a man of 26, who was found to be dead from a bullet that had entered the breast.  More trouble is expected.

Bessie Lenora Marks - Walsenburg World - July 1903 - Mrs. Arthur M. Marks brought the remains of her infant child from Pueblo to Gardner last Friday and had it laid by the side of its father in the Gardner cemetery. It was very sad to see the widowed mother come unattended except by her sister-in-law to bury her babe. For some cause the letter she wrote to L. Z. Watkins several days previous failed to reach him until she was here with the corps. L. Z. Watkins, T. M. Hudson and Gus Addington then repaired to the cemetery and dug the grave.

Antonio Marlin – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – July 16, 1874 – Indians on the War Path on our Southern Border – Many Persons Killed, and Much Stock Stolen – Troops and Citizens in Pursuit – [Special to the Chieftain] – Trinidad, July 8. – On Sunday last rumors reached this city that a party of Comanche, Cheyenne and Kiowa Indians were on the war path, and were depredating and murdering white men near Cimarron, on the Dry Cimarron and on different tributaries of the Cimarron.  These rumors have been proven well founded, and it is a painful certainty that this section of country has been raided by from three to five hundred savages, mounted and well armed.  The following condensed from an extra Chronicle of Wednesday evening, is the latest in regard to the outbreak which has been received here.  The first depredations of the Indians were perpetrated, so far as heard from, on Crow creek, a tributary of the Cimarron.  The first man killed of which we have information was Charles A. Buthe, a white man, who lived about twelve miles north of Cimarron.  We hear also of numerous depredations and the murdering of four Mexicans in this vicinity, that is in the vicinity of Cimarron.  A letter from Emery's on the Dry Cimarron, dated July 6th, states that the savages were stealing stock and murdering herdsman on the Sierra Frande and Corampa creek, and that a Mexican train was attacked on the Cimarron and that a party of Indians were seen with the scalps of white men at their belts.  The settlers were arming and preparing for battle.  Mr. Dodds reports Romero's wool train captured on the Dry Cimarron.  Conn and Roberts, herdsmen on the Corampa, are reported missing.  Two white men and one Mexican were killed at the Emery Ranche, six or seven miles above, Antonio Marlin killed at his ranch, one Mexican killed at Fisher's and one white man at Cavaness'.  He also states that there was heavy fighting with the Indians at Dry Cimarron, on Tuesday evening.  Parties from the front say that twelve or fifteen men have been killed, and a large amount of stock ran off.  One Mexican was killed by having his arms cut off, tied to a wagon and left to bleed to death.  This afternoon a party of armed men numbering about thirty, commanded by Sheriff Thompson, left for the front.  Acting Governor Jenkins has been informed of the outbreak and is doing all in his power to protect the lives and property of citizens.  Troops are moving from Garland, Fort Lyon and Fort Union and a party of thirty armed men, under Casmero Barela, are also in pursuit of the savages.  Latest – Two scouts just in from the Dry Cimarron, report the Indians moving towards Texas and the Indian Territory and that four more men have been killed.

Marsh, Sarah Emeline
Sarah Emeline Richardson Marsh - Times - October 18, 1928 - Sarah Emeline Richardson Marsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Richardson, was born near McLeansboro, Ill., March 17, 1856. She was converted at the age of 16 years, being one of the first to profess faith in Christ and united with the Union Missionary Baptist Church after it was organized and the house of worship erected. At the time of her death, she was the eldest living member of the church she loved and had lived in from her girlhood days. She lived to see the first building fill its mission and a second one come and go, and the third house erected on the spot which was sacred to her memory. On September 1, 1880, she was united in marriage to M. T. Marsh of Hamilton County, Illinois, Rev. C. Y. Allen performing the ceremony. To this union, five children were born, Mrs. Lora Mathis of McLeansboro; F. M. Marsh of Chicago; W. Il and R. F. Marsh of Alamosa, Colorado; and Mrs. Anna Kornmeyer of LaVeta, Colorado, all of whom are living. The great pleasure of life to her was the privilege of living for others. She always found time and a way to minister, not only to her own but to all those who were near her. She was a great Bible student and the burden of her heart and prayer of her life was that she might live in such a way that her own family and others who knew her might follow in the Christian service. She moved from Hamilton County with her husband to La Veta, Colorado in 1915, where they have made their home since that time. Last fall, Sister Marsh contracted typhoid fever, from the effect of which she never recovered, and in April of this year, she suffered an attack of influenza and pneumonia. After some weeks of lingering illness, she passed into the life beyond from her home in La Veta, Colorado, on June 1, 1928. Age 72 years, 2 months, 14 days. She leaves to mourn their loss besides the above named husband and children, two brothers, Tilman Richardson of Belleville, Ill., and James Richardson of McLeansboro, 16 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and many relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted at the Union Baptist Church Wednesday, June 6, by Rev. John B. Maulding.

The cause of Mr. Martin's death was dropsy, from which he has been ailing since last June. He went to Pueblo three weeks ago in hopes that his health might be improved from treatment in Clark's sanitarium. He died on Wednesday and the remains were yesterday sent to Leadville for interment. C. H. Martin was born in 1851 in Kalamazoo, Mich. His parents both died when he was still a child and the boy from that time had to make his own living. Through his own efforts he obtained an education in the schools of Constantine, Mich., and for a number of years taught in that state and in Kansas. At the age of twenty-seven he came to Colorado and settled in Leadville where he has lived continuously for the past thirty-three years. Mr. Martin was for the most part connected with the smelters of Leadville. He was first employed by the late Gov. Grant, who in the early days was operating a smelter in this district. He later served as foreman for the American Smelting and Refining company until it closed in 1893. The old pioneer was a man of steady and domestic habits and sought his pleasure in life with his wife and family. Since the time he married Lydia McDonald in 1887, he was never known to spend an evening out of the company either of his wife or his daughters. The deceased is survived by his wife and two daughters, Helen and Lucile. Both are graduates of the Leadville High school and at present Helen is attending the State university at Boulder. He also leaves behind two sisters, Helen Martin, of Denver and Mrs. F. E. Austin, of Beresford, S. D.; and a brother, William Martin, of Soldier, Idaho. Mr. Martin was a member of the Congregational church. The funeral will take place from the Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – November 27, 1911 – Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds – From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle – From Monday's Daily – Funeral of the Late C. H. Martin – Rev. David McMartin of the Presbyterian church yesterday conducted services over the remains of the late C. H. Martin. The funeral took place from the church of which Rev. McMartin is pastor. The services were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased. The persons who had been associated with Mr. Martin during the time he was employed at the smelter were present in a body to pay their last respects to their friend who will work with them no more. A large number of flowers were received in token of the sympathy for the survivors of the deceased and respect for the old pioneer who passed away. Rev. McMartin spoke of the consolation that is to be drawn from the belief that there is another world to which dear ones pass to wait for those they have left behind. This thought, he said, is especially consoling to the bereaved ones when they possess the knowledge that the departed person has led a Christian life, such as Mr. Martin's. The choir, consisting of Mrs. Robertson, Miss Meyers, Mr. Jennings and Mr. Volkeri, sang "Abide With Me." Mrs. Robertson sang a solo, "Face to Face." The remains were interred in the G. A. R. plot of Evergreen cemetery.

Martin, Jennie
Jennie Martin - Colorado Weekly Chieftain - June 8, 1876 - Shot By A Negro - Tragic Death of Miss Jennie Martin - In our issue of Sunday morning we noticed the killing at Cheyenne of Miss Jennie Martin, daughter of Wm. Martin, formerly of South Pueblo. The facts of this terrible affair are given as condensed from the Cheyenne Sun: Miss Jennie Martin was the name of the victim. She and a friend, a Miss Montgomery, left home to attend a musical rehearsal at the Catholic Church. They were accompanied by a little girl, daughter of George B. Stimpson, brother-in-law of Miss Martin. With the child between them the young ladies sauntered slowly down the street. There were a good many people on the street, and the girls were jostled at every step by pedestrians. Just after turning a corner the report of a pistol startled everybody, and Miss Martin fell to the sidewalk, clutching in her fall the hand of the child and pulling the latter down with her. The bullet had entered the right temple and lodged in the brain. The body was removed to Mr. Stimpson's house. Miss Montgomery remembered that some boys, white and black, were playing: romping, and running at the corner when the party came up, and that they ran away when the pistol-shot was fired. The police hunted up the juveniles, and each and every one testified that one of their number, a Negro lad named James Butler, fired the shot which killed Miss Martin. The murderer is only twelve years of age, and has been known as a "hoodlum". He had been heard to make the threat, some days previous, that he would "fix that girl" (meaning Miss Martin), because she was the means of his being chastised for some misconduct at school. The boy was lodged in jail. The victim of his vengeance was in her sixteenth year, and had a bright mind and a beautiful face.

He married Victoria E. Medina July 26, 1969 in Gardner.

Mass of Christian Burial was Saturday from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Chama. Burial was in Chama Cemetery. Boies Almont was in charge of arrangements. A special fund has been set up for the Martinez family at the First National Bank in Walsenburg. Huerfano World - October 25, 1990 - He was just good old Gene - Editor's Note: The following, from the Oct. 18 edition of The Christian Science Monitor, was written by Gardnerite Hallett Stomboh. It is a remembrance of the late Gene Martinez of the Chama/Redwing area who died a year ago in an auto mishap. His wife, Vicki still lives in Chama and his sisters, Pauline Valdez and Dorothy Ontiverras, live in the Gardner area. While we stood by the truck waiting for Zeke to show up so we could get to work cutting trees, Genaro Martinez poured a can of SAE 30 motor oil on his boots, then rubbed it in with his thick fingers. ''I bet you put that stuff on your hair too," I joked. He grabbed me by the hood of my parka and pretended to pour the can down my neck. "You got much to live for," he said. "Keep going." Inside Gene's house, behind us, his wife was getting the coffee bucket ready. It was a solid ranch house with an addition built on. Down the road was the agricultural church built by the settlers at Chama and repaired by Gene's father. I had been in Gene's house for a first morning cup of coffee, and his wife called me respectfully by my first name - you know, like she knew all the good things you ever did and those had been discussed a hundred times by the family. But it was my first time in that house. Gene was giving me three days work around Christmas because he heard I could use a few extra dollars; a Christmas tree cutter, junk-car dealer, mechanic when he could be, he treated me better than royalty - like one of a very old Hispanic family in the valley. ''Sit there, Hallett." His wife pointed to a quilt-covered armchair. "Gene's on the phone to his dealer in Denver." The third man for the job, Zeke, showed up in his new truck and cowboy hat. Zeke would be the tree-climber and sawer. Old Gene hated to take a baby tree at the roots, for a disposable Christmas tree, so he had Zeke climb for the tops of big trees so the tree would recover and come back. Zeke Ontiverras brought his own coffee in a silver thermos, fancy as his new truck. Zeke had come up from Mexico a few years back; he married one of Gene's sisters. Now he was more American than we were, in this valley of far America where few people were locked into network programming, by reasons of the mountains, or up on the latest in anything. But Zeke must be checking it all out somewhere, for he was state of the art "near America," down to his designer jeans. "Brother," said Gene rubbing in the oil on the seams of his K-Mart boots, "Zeke thinks they're going to film, him again today.'' He gave Zeke a hearty backslap. Out there in the national forest, Zeke was strong at hauling, fast at climbing, a thief at sawing, and had brought with him from Old Mexico that graceful pace of work that eludes ordinary men like myself, who run at work and yet get told: "You got two speeds, boy. Slow and stop." And standing under a tree Zeke was 50 feet up in, my gloves dangling idly, Gene moved me: "Out of the way now. You got a lot to live for, boy.'' On the way home, we stopped with our load of trees at a highway joint. It was dark and I could see the green load chained and roped on the truck under the parking lot neons, a phenomenal day's work. After eating, Gene rolled out his wreathmaking money and bought us all supper. "Don't," Zeke cautioned as I reached for my billfold, as if he thought it were a six-gun. ''Don't. Gene likes you. This is his party." Zeke knew the etiquette of these old families. How was I to make it up? I felt both of them had done double work to mine. They could have brought along any number of cousins with names that were more related to the old southern families up to the Arkansas River - which they used to call the color line in Colorado - and they weren't Anglo, like mine. Work was scarce this time of year. Home, an hour later, there was more hospitality. A second supper was waiting and the candles set like a fiesta. I was shown a chair and a place. Zeke went home to his wife. Gene washed up and called his dealer in Denver. I heard him say he could make the quota they needed. He said, ''Should be up there around 4 a.m." "He's driving up tonight?" I said to his wife. "I'll go with him. I won't charge." Immediately feeling mention of money was a strange breach of friendship. His wife smiled gracefully. ''The boys like to go up with him," meaning Gene's oldest boys 13 and 15, being a Friday night out of school. There were seven kids. The littlest girl climbed in my lap, assuming I must be some relation. How could such a child with cut black bangs over beautiful eyes be related to oil-booted old Gene with his hands that needed size 12 gloves and stone face that looked like it was carved out of the outcroppings of the harsh valley? This man seemed to attract a fiesta of people wherever he went. Now I like to think of Gene standing on the porch of his place that night, snow dusting the junk cars, wood pile, and the day's work of trees going to cheer a hundred people in the city, rolling off some more bills proudly but silently to me, for pay. "Thanks, Gene," I said sincerely, knowing now I could buy my own daughter the thing she wanted most for Christmas. He seemed embarrassed at my sincerity. I should have joked him on something. He just said, "Drive safely home, boy. You got a lot to live for," rubbing his tired neck. I remembered those words after he got into a car wreck a year later and I heard the news that he didn't make it. I remembered those words as I stood outside the church his grandfather repaired and I couldn't get a seat in the carved pews because so many people had come from miles around. Many of them had names that weren't the old settled ones in Huerfano Valley. To everyone he was just good Gene.

J. Ralph Martinez - Pueblo Chieftain - June 02, 2001 - J. Ralph Martinez, widely known as Ralph, died at Parkview Medical Center on May 31, 2001. Death came following recent complications emanating from longtime severe rheumatoid arthritis. Mr. Martinez, age 71, was born Oct. 9, 1929, in Walsenburg, Colo. His parents were the late Claudio and Maclovia (Padilla) Martinez, both early-day residents of Southern Colorado. Ralph was one of three brothers born to his parents, the eldest of whom was Macario Martinez who died two years ago. Ralph is survived by his beloved wife, Frieda, with whom he celebrated 50 years of holy matrimony on Aug. 19, 2000. He is also survived by his loving daughter, Janet Martinez Rodriguez; and son-in-law, Steve Rodriguez. Also surviving are his beloved granddaughter, Jennifer; and her husband, Charles Klipfel; and grandsons, Gabriel and Diego Rodriguez. Lastly, he leaves his precious great-granddaughter, Macayla Klipfel. Ralph also leaves his last surviving brother, Claudio M. (Masa) Martinez. Ralph attended St. Mary's School in Walsenburg, Colo., prior to coming to Pueblo, where he obtained employment in the Open Hearth Department of the old CF&I Steel Corp. He subsequently married his beloved Frieda. Later, domestic life was interrupted by his country's call to serve during the Korean Conflict. Mr. Martinez served with honor with the U.S. Army in the battlefields of Korea and later with the American armed forces in Japan. Following his honorable discharge, Ralph returned to Pueblo and his job at CF&I, where he worked until the chronic rheumatoid arthritis forced his early retirement in 1965. Despite illness, Mr. Martinez was not to be vanquished. He pursued his hobbies of fishing and hunting until recent years when his illness worsened. Notwithstanding physical setbacks, Ralph continued to cultivate annually his vegetable garden which was his pride and joy, and it pleased him to share his bountiful harvests with family and friends.

Martinez, James Joseph
James Joseph "Chico" Martinez - Rocky Mountain News - March 18, 2005 - James Joseph "Chico" Martinez worked with kids through college helping to promote education and Hispanic culture. Later in life, he worked with the elderly in southern Colorado, sponsoring programs and services that helped them live more independently. Then he combined his passions for helping others to forge relationships in which the elderly would teach youngsters to read and write. Mr. Martinez died Feb. 18 of a heart attack in his hometown of Trinidad. He was 55. His family and friends said he was still full of ambition and ready to unveil ideas to better serve the underprivileged and the vulnerable. His public service work and his activism were just getting started, they said. "He's already missed in a lot of different ways," said Lewis Kallas, executive director of Seniors Inc. in Colorado. Mr. Martinez worked for the organization, which serves a 13-county region in southern Colorado. "Whenever he would see you, he would have a smile on his face, shake your hand, and he would be genuinely glad to see you," Kallas said. Judy Casias-Peasley, a lawyer who attended Colorado State University with Mr. Martinez during the late 1960s and early 1970s, said Mr. Martinez was an exercise junkie, which made his death harder to accept. "It's still a shock. I still can't believe it today," said Casias-Peasley, who lives in Seeley Lake, Mont. "He was just a wonderful, wonderful person, very dedicated, even-tempered and always on the go." Casias-Peasley said she and Mr. Martinez were members of United Mexican-American Students, or UMAS, while students at CSU. Members of the student group spent their free time visiting elementary, middle and high schools around Fort Collins encouraging students to continue their education while promoting Hispanic song and dance. "He would play the guitar, and I would sing, and he organized a dance group, the ballet folklorico," Casias- Peasley said. Later in life, Mr. Martinez was dedicated to helping others and managed to raise a family, run a ranch and be a cowboy in the Mexican tradition. "He did an awful lot in his 55 years, and one of the things I like to stress was that he also was a dedicated husband and father," said his wife, Marie Guzman-Martinez. "He was a charro, a true caballero. He did this in addition to all of his activities." During the past five years, teenagers in Las Animas County got a chance to listen to and participate in Cancion Mexicana, Mr. Martinez's weekly radio show on KCRT-AM in Trinidad. Cancion Mexicana was an offshoot of the Sunday morning show at Denver's KUVO-FM radio station, and Mr. Martinez took the music, ideas and programming to southern Colorado to help youngsters identify and familiarize themselves with Hispanic culture. Mr. Martinez also helped organize fund-raisers for cultural and arts programs and often brought poets, storytellers and musicians to the high schools. He was active in the Hispanic Genealogical Society and La Confederacion, organizations formed to help youngsters preserve their heritage. "He was very active in dedicating his life to his culture," Guzman-Martinez said. "He believed you lived your culture." As much as he was dedicated to helping young people, Mr. Martinez was equally devoted to serving thousands of elderly residents in southern Colorado. As an operating officer for Seniors Inc., he wrote and obtained grants for the Senior Community Service Employment program, which provided job training for elderly workers in the San Luis and Arkansas valleys. Kallas said Mr. Martinez took a lot of pride in the Foster Grandparent program, in which elderly volunteer's help children learn to read. "I tell you the position he had when he died was a position we kind of built around his strength, and that was his ability to mobilize people around issues and causes," Kallas said. "He could bring people around the southern Colorado region, and it was something I had not seen like anything before." Mr. Martinez was born in Trinidad on Aug. 30, 1949. He attended school as a child in southern Colorado but later moved to Germany and Austria, where his father was stationed in the Army. His family eventually returned to Colorado, and he graduated from St. Mary's High School in Colorado Springs. Services for Mr. Martinez were Feb. 25 at the Faith Christian Fellowship Church in Trinidad. He was preceded in death by his father, U.S. Army Col. Thomas Martinez. In addition to his wife, Mr. Martinez is survived by his mother, Eralia Martinez, of Colorado Springs; a son, Jose Martinez, of Albuquerque; four daughters, Luz Falcon-Martinez, of Golden, Deana Martinez, of Denver, Kimberly Morales, of Phoenix, and Carri Garcia, of Santa Cruz, Calif.; two brothers, Tom Martinez, of Trinidad, and John Martinez, of Colorado Springs; two sisters, Mary Guzman, of Colorado Springs, and Linda Martinez, of Coos Bay, Ore.; and five grandchildren.

Martinez, Jose Maria
Jose Maria Martinez - Huerfano Herald – November 11, 1880 – Dreadful Death - Two Men Hurled into Eternity - While Coming Down The Mountain On A Push Car - It is our painful duty to record today one of the most frightful and unfortunate accidents it has ever been our province to relate. As our readers are aware the fall is about 228 feet to the mile from the top of the mountain to this place, a distance of fifteen miles. It has been the custom since the completion of the road to Summit for many of the section men, and others, when desiring to descend the mountain to call into service a push car and allow it to make its own time down the steep and circuitous grade often reaching the frightful velocity of 60 or 70 miles per hour. On Saturday afternoon the boss and four section men from Ojo started for this city on one of these cars. The car consists merely of a small square platform, with brake, fastened upon four wheels, its weight being about eight hundred pounds. They had proceeded to within about five miles of La Veta, and were running at a swift rate when the encountered a snowdrift, upsetting the car, pitching Charles Lambert and Jose Maria Martinez in front of it and scattering men and car in wild confusion. The fall was a terrible one, crushing and bruising the unfortunate men that received its force, and bending the heavy iron axles like withs. Charles Lambert was killed almost instantly, receiving internal injuries from which he never ... (unfinished) (speaking of Martinez) everything that anyone could suggest was done to alleviate his suffering, but after lingering until Sunday afternoon, his spirit passed to the Great Beyond. He was aged about 25 years, a Mexican by birth, and had only been employed as section hand since the middle of October. His mother and two brothers reside in Walsenburg and were notified in time to be with him in his last hours. He is spoken of as an intelligent, genial Mexican, of more then ordinary ability, a kind and dutiful son, an affectionate brother, and one who occupied a warm place in the hearts of numerous friends. Charles Lambert was a Polander by birth, aged about 45 or 50 years, and had only been employed in the section a month, coming from Pueblo to Ojo. He is spoken of by friends in high terms as a kind, genial man, one who scarcely ever drank, and never to excess. He was fond of music and spent many pleasant evenings at the store of Sager & Berry, playing the accordion for the amusement of the boys that congregate there. He was industrious and economical, and careful in the expenditure of his money. He leaves a brother and some children at Aurora, Ill., his wife having died several years before. Our Denver & Rio Grande did all that it was possible to do to alleviate the pain of the suffering one, and when death came tenderly and carefully cared for the remains. Both were prepared for their long and silent sleep in an appropriate manner, and forwarded to their respective friends. The accident is a sad and sorrowful one, harrowing in the extreme to the bereaved relatives, but under the circumstances it is fortunate that the entire crew were not instantly killed.

Police Officer Elwynn C. Slater shortly after shot himself through the pelvis while attempting to effect an entrance into the store. The wounded officer is in the hospital and will probably die. Not until 10 o'clock was the crazed doctor captured. In the meanwhile he had been holding an enormous crowd at bay in front of the drug store.

He said that for several days his mind had been a blank; that he knew nothing of what took place on Wednesday evening, and for several days previous to that time. He craves liquor, which is refused him, and this, together with a realization of his deed may make his mind a blank again. Yesterday morning a warrant charging him with the murder of Charles Martz was served on Dr. Rice at the county jail, and he spent most of the day in conversation with his attorney, Miles G. Saunders. His attorney will allow no one else to visit him. Summit County Journal – September 3, 1904 – Dr. Rice Discharged – Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 27. – Dr. Charles O.

Masurett, Cyrus
Cyrus Masurett - Pueblo Chieftain - November 30, 1880 - Death on the Rail - Engineer Dickman and Fireman Masurett meet a horrible death. The most serious and lamentable accident that ever happened on the Denver & Rio Grande road, occurred last Sunday noon, about six miles this side of Colorado Springs. The south bound train left Colorado Springs almost on time, and was booming along at its usual rate of speed when, without any warning whatever, the engine left the track and went down into the ditch, followed by the mail, express, and baggage cars, the passenger coaches keeping the track. The engine turned completely over, although there is no embankment at that place. When the engine turned over she sprung a leak either by the breaking of a steam pipe or otherwise, and a stream of hot scalding steam filled the engine cab, in the debris of which were both the engineer and fireman. The engineer was stunned by the fall or by being struck by some part of the engineer or falling cars, and probably never knew what struck him, but the fireman was less fortunate and was scalded to death, literally boiled alive. The agonies of such a death are too fearful to contemplate, and we will not dwell upon it further than to say that the flesh was fairly boiled from the bones of the unfortunate men. As soon as possible willing hands went to work removing the wreck in order to extricate the bodies of the unfortunate men, but owing to the escaping steam, which rendered it almost impossible to get near, the work was necessarily slow. Finally, however the fireman who was still alive was extricated, but he died soon afterwards. His name was Cyrus Masurett, and he lived at Port Sarnia, Canada. We understand that he had been employed by the Rio Grande Company only a short time before his untimely death. His remains were forwarded to his friends at Port Sarnia. The engineer, who died at his post, was better known in this city, where he had many friends, and was an honored and trusted servant of the company. His name was William Dickman, and he resided here. His remains were brought to this city Sunday evening, and the funeral took place yesterday afternoon at half past two o'clock. A large number of his late companions followed his remains to their last resting place. Rocky Mountain News - November 30, 1880 - Accident on the Rio Grande - The passenger train over the Denver and Rio Grande road on Sunday met with a serious accident below Colorado Springs. When within about five miles of that city, proceeding northward, a broken rail threw the engine from the track and dragged a portion of the train after it. The engine driver and fireman both endeavored to escape by jumping from the engine. The engineer, named Dickman, was killed instantly, and the fireman, named Mauseretta, was so seriously injured that he died in a few hours. The passenger cars turned over but fortunately no one was hurt except a few bruises and a slight shaking up. The passengers remained until a train could be made up, when they were taken forward on their journey. The body of the engineer, who leaves a wife and child, was taken to Pueblo for burial. The passengers had a very fortunate escape. Rocky Mountain News - December 2, 1880 - The Rio Grande - Nuggets of News from the Various Cities - Pueblo - The funeral of William Dickman, the engineer killed by the Colorado Springs accident on the Rio Grande, took place in this city yesterday afternoon. It was very largely attended. Deceased was well known and well liked in Pueblo, where he leaves a wife and three children. "Laying off will not buy shoes for my babies," were the last words uttered by the brave engineer as he pulled out his train on the fatal trip. He had been connected with the Rio Grande less than six months, previous to which he ran an engine on the Kansas Pacific. He was thirty-eight years of age and a man of a genial nature and steady habits. The fireman, Charles Mazaretto, killed with Dickman, was a native of Canada, whither his body has been forwarded.

Matarazzi, Rose E.
Rose E. (Holl) Matarazzi - Pueblo Chieftain - February 22, 2006 - Rose E. (Holl) Matarazzi. Born Aug. 25, 1920, died Feb. 16, 2006. Born in Richardton, N.D., on Aug. 25, 1920, to Johann and Rose (Raskap) Holl. Rose Elizabeth was the fourth of 12 siblings. Being named after her mother, she was known as Rose E., which modified into "Rosie" to her family. A 1938 high school graduate of St. Francis Xavier School in Dyersville, Iowa, her first job was as a secretary with Vogenthaler Engineering in Dubuque, Iowa. She came to Oakland, Calif., in 1942, to be with her sister, Genevieve, while her sister's husband was in the Pacific Theater, WWII. In 1943, she was the first (and only) employee of a start up firm; Atlas Engineering in Oakland, Calif. She claims that her position was "bookkeeper, outside salesman, inside salesman and janitor." She began using her initials, R.E., in all business related correspondence to foil any prejudgment of an engineering company's representative being named Rose. In her business career, she was R.E. Holl. Atlas Engineering was the brainchild of engineer Theodore (Ted) M. Harrer whose first invention was an automated cherry stemming machine. During WWII, Atlas Engineering used its canning and manufacturing equipment to coat tin cans with non-reflective surfaces for the military. When the super-secret Manhattan District Organization was preparing America's atom bomb, Atlas Engineering was called upon to do some work on it. During the Korean Conflict, Atlas Pacific Engineering produced gun-turrets for tanks. In 1946, Atlas Engineering became Atlas Pacific Engineering, added the wholly owned Atlas Pacific Distribution and built a new 40,000 square foot factory in Emeryville, Calif. Atlas Pacific Engineering had become the major player in the fruit processing industry on the West Coast in less than three years. With growth came a corporate structure and Rose became secretary/treasurer of the parent company. Atlas expanded its canning machinery to apples, olives, peaches, pineapple, pears and fruit cocktail with clients including Del Monte, Dole, Hunt Foods, Libby and numerous European and Pacific companies. By the late 1950s, Atlas Pacific engineering was recognized as a world leader in the industry. If you notice the bottom of a pitted olive in your refrigerator has an "x" shaped hole in its bottom, it was most likely pitted on Atlas Pacific Engineering machinery. Rose always joked that Mr. Harrer improvised and used a phillips head screwdriver for a machine part. Rose loved to tell of the idiosyncrasies of canning machine design and engineering from pitting cling peaches (freestones were easy), putting the same number of maraschino cherries into every can of fruit cocktail or the trouble designing an automated peeler for pears so that the processed pears were pear shaped. That single innovation, made in 1953, gave Atlas Pacific a 75 percent share of the world pear processing market by 1964. In 1953, Atlas Pacific Engineering also designed new soda canning machinery for the Shasta Water Co. and became a pioneer in the design and building of machinery to put drinks in cans instead of bottles. Atlas Pacific Engineering also sponsored the Amateur Athletic Union basketball's Oakland Blue 'n Gold Nuggets (aka: Blue 'n Gold Bittners, Blue 'n Gold Atlas) 1947 to 1956. Miss Holl contracted venues, schedules and travel for the team and became the petite, unofficial den mother to such basketball greats as Don Barksdale, Dave Minor, Mike O'Neill and Ken Leslie. It was all part of her amazing job description. Miss Holl married Frank Matarazzi at St. Mary's Church in Walnut Creek, Calif., in June of 1951. Mr. Matarazzi was the vice president of Acme Galvanizing in Oakland, Calif. The Matarazzis resided in Walnut Creek, Calif., until they built their first home in Alamo, Calif., in 1956. Rose became vice president and the worldwide representative and business personality for the engineering company in 1955. Her travels took her all over the globe from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Turkey and Italy to wherever machinery was needed for fruit processing. In 1964, R.E. Holl became the president of Atlas Pacific Engineering Co. A woman now headed a company that designed and manufactured machinery that freed a mostly seasonal, female work force from the labor-intensive canning factories. She was first named to Marquis' Who's Who in Executives of California in 1963, Who's Who in Commerce and Industry in 1964, Who's Who of Women in 1964, Who's Who in the West in 1967 and the World Who's Who of Women awarded in Cambridge England in 1973. Atlas Pacific Engineering was sold in 1968, relocated to Pueblo, Colo., in 1986 and now includes a sister company that makes those ubiquitous little stickers that code number fruits and vegetables for market identification. In 1982, Ms. Holl was named co-chair of the board of director's in lieu of the company accepting her retirement. R.E. Holl-Matarazzi officially retired from an emeritus position on the board of directors of Atlas Pacific Engineering in 2003 at the age of 83 after 60 years of active participation and leadership. Rose Matarazzi was a woman in the work place decades before the concept of feminism. She held that, as a woman in a man's world, she had the upper hand in controlling "the guys" because they were more afraid of her than she of them. When she came home at night, she was the perfect housewife, aunt and neighbor. Not having children of their own, Rose and Frank were the pied piper to all the neighborhood children and their nieces and nephews scattered throughout California, Hawaii, Wisconsin and Iowa. Her hobbies were poetry, gardening, collecting fine art reminders of her travels, cooking, interior decoration, family, her pets and shopping - definitely shopping. Senior Care was added to Rose and Frank's already busy lives from 1963 through 1975. In 1963, the Matarazzis moved Rose's parents from Dyersville, Iowa, to California to be near them and took care of them through their senior years. Likewise, "Grandpa Sam" (Salvatore) Matarazzi was brought from Frontenac, Kan., to a specially prepared guest apartment on their property to remain with them through the remainder of his life. Rose maintained that parental care was a most rewarding experience for her. The Matarazzis moved to Bend, Ore., in 1991. Mrs. Matarazzi served on the financial advisory board for a new school and church for St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Parish. Rose's husband, Frank, died in 1998. She is survived by eight brothers and sisters, 42 nieces and nephews including Christopher Carlo and Robert Chaney of Bend, Ore., and many friends throughout the world. Services were held in Bend, Ore., on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2006. Visitation, 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, 2006, Hull's Walnut Creek Chapel, 1139 Saranap Ave., Walnut Creek, Calif. Mass of celebration, 10:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 27, 2006, St. Isidore's Catholic Church, 440 La Gonda Way, Danville, Calif. Interment will follow at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Lafayette, Calif.

Fox Parkinson's Research Organization, http://www.michaeljfox.org.

Mather, Charles
Charles "Chuck" Mather – Denver Rocky Mountain News - August 31, 2006 - Cone-zone crash kills road worker - Charles "Chuck" Mather is the 24th employee of CDOT killed in a work zone since 1951. A Colorado Department of Transportation worker was killed Wednesday morning when a tractor-trailer plowed into a road surfacing crew on Interstate 25. Charles "Chuck" Mather, 34, of Beulah was pronounced dead at St. Mary Corwin hospital in Pueblo Wednesday. He had been working for CDOT since June 2005. His wife, Leena, 39, is expecting their first child in November. Four other people, including another CDOT worker, were also injured in the accident, which closed northbound I-25 at Walsenburg for much of the day. Traffic was diverted at Walsenburg and I-25 had been expected to be reopened at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The incident happened at 10:45 a.m. in the northbound lanes of I-25, at mile marker 72, two miles south of Colorado City. Robin L. Kirkland, 35, of Pueblo, was driving a white 2000 Freightliner tractor-trailer loaded with 20 tons of rock. He was in the passing lane northbound on I-25 when he rear-ended a white 1996 Toyota pickup truck driven by Bette J. Waitman, 68, of Cheyenne. The semi, while partially on top of the pickup, then veered into the right lane, hitting Mather, who was operating a rototilling machine. Another CDOT worker, Gerald "Jerry" Buchanan, 48, of Boone, barely escaped by leaping off the side of the roadway, falling about 50 feet into a creek bed below. "He has two shattered ankles as the result of jumping from a bridge to avoid the collision," said Stegman. Buchanan was listed in fair condition at Peakview Medical Center Wednesday. Three other members of the CDOT crew were unhurt. Waitman and her husband, Jerry J. Waitman, 70, suffered minor injuries and were treated at St. Mary Corwin hospital. "We haven't had one of our employees injured or killed (in a cone zone incident) since December 2004," said Stegman. "It's unique for a car to crash through a work zone." "This is another needless tragedy on Colorado's highways," said Bob Torres, CDOT regional director. "These crashes are preventable if drivers would just slow down and use extra caution when driving near highway workers. The people working on our roadways are mothers, fathers, brothers and friends. Today is a very sad day knowing that an unborn child will never know its father." Mather is the 24th CDOT employee killed in a work zone since 1951. It was not known Wednesday whether speed, alcohol or drugs were factors, or whether Kirkland, who was also treated for minor injuries at St. Mary Corwin hospital, would be charged with any violations. Randall and Kathleen Engel, of Beulah, are listed as the owners of the semi, according to Colorado State Patrol spokesman Gilbert Mares. Randall Engel said Wednesday night that the tractor-trailer was being driven from Trinidad to Beulah, but declined to comment about the accident, other than to say Kirkland had worked for him for a long time, and that he "was a very good driver." Wednesday, Mather's family was struggling to deal with the loss. "I'm still trying to come out of the shock," said Mather's father, Larry Mather, 60, of Pueblo. "I didn't expect it, especially losing his mother a year and half ago. She had bad lungs, so we knew that was coming. But this was 100 percent unexpected." Chuck Mather, born in a suburb of Detroit, grew up in Pueblo, graduating from Coney High School in 1989. He worked for a small drywalling company for a few years before it went out of business. He then worked for M. Cline Construction in Pueblo for 12 years before taking a job with CDOT last year. "He loved his job with CDOT," said his father. "He loved the people he worked with. It was the best job he had. He liked the people and the way they did business." Larry Mather said his son was aware of the dangers of his job. "It was something that he always worried about because of the drivers," said his father. Chuck Mather married five years ago, and was anticipating the birth of his first child. He enjoyed hunting elk, deer, antelope and pheasant with friends. "He was a good son and a good brother," said Larry Mather. "He was an incredibly hard worker and he was more than well-liked." Services are pending. In addition to his wife and father, Chuck Mather is survived by two sisters, Louanne Mather of Mount Clemens, Mich., and Cheryl Mather of Pueblo, and a brother, Matthew Mather of Eastpointe, Mich. He was preceded in death by his mother, Phyllis Mather, in May 2005.

John Griffin, 12, who was riding with Mauller when the accident happened is in serious condition at Graves Hospital in Canon City, Tony Moschetti, 55 is also in the hospital badly injured, while Mrs. Tony Moschetti is recovering at home from severe scalp lacerations. The accident happened when Mauller was returning home from a trip to Rainbow Park to buy eggs for his mother. He was driving along Third street toward Florence, and in the dusk, as his car came over a rise in the road, failed to see the stalled truck until too late to avoid striking it. Moschetti was attempting to crank the truck when it was struck, and Mrs. Moschetti was seated in the cab of the truck. The impact of the collision knocked the truck forward crushing Moschetti to the ground, and knocking Mrs. Moschetti down. The two boys in the car were crushed and torn by the terrific impact. Mauller apparently receiving a broken neck and young Griffith a broken foot and head injuries. Moschetti received a broken pelvic bone and a broken hip. Ambulances were summoned from Florence and the injured were brought into town for medical aid. Little John Griffith, unconscious, was first taken to his home, but was later removed to Graves hospital. Moschetti was rushed directly to Graves hospital in Canon City. Mrs. Moschetti was taken to her home and a physician summoned to care for her. The body of John Mauller, who was dead when doctors and ambulances arrived, was taken to a local mortuary. Coroner C.H. Graves, Sr., of Canon City investigated the accident, and ordered an inquest, which will be held at the Holt chapel at 3:30 or 4 o'clock this afternoon. The truck was badly damaged and the Mauller roadster was completely demolished by the force of the collision.

Reports from Graves hospital early this afternoon indicate that both of the injured are better and will recover. Little John Griffith is still in a dazed condition, but has partially regained consciousness. He has not as yet been told of his friend's death. He is suffering from a broken right ankle, face lacerations, and a possible slight brain concussion, Moschetti is suffering from a broken pelvic bone, a broken hip and cuts and bruises about the face. He too is better this afternoon, and while he will be bedfast for several months as a result of the accident, attending doctors do not regard his condition as critical.

Maxwell, Lucian B.
Lucian B. Maxwell - Colorado Daily Chieftain - August 3, 1875 - Death Of L.B. Maxwell - Lucian B. Maxwell, well known as one of the pioneers of Southern Colorado and New Mexico, died at his residence at Fort Sumner, San Miguel county, New Mexico, on the 16th of July after a long illness. Of him the Cimarron News and Press said: "The deceased had long been prominent in our territorial history, was widely known, and was universally respected and publicly esteemed. His intimate connection with the fortunes and progress of this section of the country where his destiny was cast, and through a period of nearly forty years, --embracing the most pregnant and stirring events preceding and following the memorable war between the government of the United States and the republic of Mexico, --his patriotic acts rendered to his country, his self sacrifices at the time, his subsequent forecast, enterprise, energy, and constantly bestowed noble charities, --all cannot but consecrate the man with almost a sacredness of regard in the remembrance of the unprejudiced, the appreciative, and the grateful among our people. The compeer and associate of St. Vrain, of Carson, of the Bents, of Hatcher, of Jones, of Wooten, of Williams, and a host of early pioneers so well known to and highly estimated by the public – a sharer with them in all the varied experiences of mountaineer life that make a story alone of fearless adventure and perilous daring, and ultimately a success of (at the time) a wild and inhospitable region, his was the deserving merit to endear himself to the popular heart, and even irrespective of race, to win common and universal approbation and respect. Mr. Maxwell was born in the town of Kaskaskia, state of Illinois. When quite a mere child, however, he was removed to St. Genevieve, Missouri, in which later state he is supposed by many to have had his nativity. When about seventeen years of age, in company with the late Kit Carson, he came with Col. Ceran St. Vrain, William, Charles and George Bent, -- the former of the Bents subsequently provisional governor of New Mexico, and murdered in the Taos revolution of 1847, and all now likewise no more, -- to this territory. They were all for some years at the "Old Bent Fort" on the Arkansas river, where the then young Carson and Maxwell, as the regular hunters for that famous trading post, in frequent adventures with surrounding war-like Indian tribes, greatly distinguished themselves, in fact, laid the basis of an afterward national reputation. Their subsequent career as pioneer trappers, and explorers of the before unknown Rocky Mountain ranges – in excursions even to the Pacific slopes, especially as guide to Col. Fremont on the latter's first expedition as pathfinder – are familiar to every reader. Mr. Maxwell left Taos, long his previous place of residence, in 1847, and at the time of the revolution mentioned, and settled at Cimarron. In this place he lived a number of years, improving and beautifying his well known ranch, and contributing to the development of the great mineral wealth and other valuable resources of the Maxwell grant. His sale to the English company of this grant, some few years ago, is also too fresh in the minds of many to require comment. After the sale of this grant, however, he purchased from the government the site of Fort Sumner, then an abandoned military post, and where he has since resided with his family up to the time of his decease. About the year 1848, he intermarried with a daughter of the late Judge Beaubien, of Taos, an affectionate wife and most estimable lady. He leaves several children. He was about 57 years of age at the time of his death. Possessed of large wealth – at one time called the Croesus of the west with a generous heart, liberal disposition, and knowing naught but all kindly sympathies – truly will his friends mourn his loss.

Maynard, J. S. (Mrs.)
Mrs. J. S. Maynard - Colorado Daily Chieftain - September 16, 1875 - Mrs. Maynard, wife of Captain J. S. Maynard, says the Tribune, committed suicide at the Grand Central Hotel yesterday by taking strychnine. She died about twelve o'clock, though the evidence goes to show that she took the poison about seven. She was attacked by the usual symptoms of strychnine poisoning soon afterwards, and Dr. Williams, her family physician, was sent for. Mrs. Maynard asked him if he could keep a secret. He answered affirmatively and she then told him she had swallowed the poison. She said she had taken as much as would lie on a five cent piece, and told him that it was useless to make an effort to save her. Other physicians were, however, sent for and every effort was made to relieve her. But all the aid that could be had was of no avail, and she died without leaving any explanation of her conduct. A letter directed to her husband was found under her pillow, and it is quite probable that this will throw some light upon the subject. Captain Maynard left last Wednesday for a place about twenty miles distant from Pueblo, and was consequently absent yesterday. He was telegraphed to and a messenger sent from Pueblo with the dispatch, but no reply had been received up to twelve o'clock last night. Captain Maynard is a stock dealer, and is well known here. Mrs. Maynard was about forty years old and leaves no children.

The death of Mrs. Mazzone was very unexpected by the people of the city and by the family itself. Mrs. Mazzone was stricken with the flu which developed into pneumonia, from which she died after only a very short illness. Mrs. Mazzone was born March 18, 1859, and was 62 years, 11 months, and 17 days of age at the time of her death. Funeral services will be at the Catholic Church at 10 a.m., Saturday morning. Walsenburg World – March 21, 1922 – Funeral of Mrs. Carolina Mazzone – The funeral of Mrs. Carolina Mazzone was held at the Catholic Church Sunday morning at 10 a.m. The body was carried from the house to the church thru the ranks of the altar society of which body she was a member. The pall bearers were William Drier, John J. Pritchard, Ernest Krier, John Neilson, Charles Agnes, and Frank Mauro. At the church solemn high mass was held, and Father Licciotti told of the Christian virtues of the deceased in a few, well chosen words. Father Licciotti's remarks were as follows. Eulogy – Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness. – Isiah 57:2 My Dear Friends: There are occasions in our life when even the expression of sympathy appears to be an intrusion. There is a feeling of sorrow so very deep that even out of pity one thinks better leave the condolence alone. I experience this feeling now, dear friends, when I see sorrowing children and their widowed father gathered round the bier of their beloved mother and wife. Their grief appears too sacred, too intimate and mental to be disturbed. But for the sake of many friends of the family I see 'round me, I feel I must say a few words of sympathy, were it only as a last tribute of respect to one who commanded it so deservedly during life. "Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness." These prophetical words contain a very comforting promise for all those who walk in this life the path of justice, of righteousness. A beautiful inheritance and a great reward is in store for them. This promise has been fulfilled in this dear departed mother and wife whose earthly remains are before us. She belonged to those who have walked in their uprightness and who strayed not to the way of evil and perdition. In all her life she was never known otherwise than walking in the justice, love and fear of God. She fulfilled conscientiously and faithfully all her duties, all the demands of her vocation and life. In her home life she distinguished herself by that true love that is ever ready to bring sacrifices; sincere and honest, simple and modest, she was industrious in the care of her family. To her husband and children she was a model of virtue, ever ready with advice and help, ever near to them with her pious prayers. For their sake she would have wished to stay longer with them, but she was used to the will of God in everything during her life, so in the last she submitted herself to the decree of God setting the limit to her life; the hour of parting came and of tears. The mother's place is vacant in the home, but she has an enduring place in the hearts of her grateful children and husband who will never forget her. Our departed friend was a very good Christian, very good catholic (article cut off).

Patrick A. McBride – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – July 26, 1877 – Death of Patrick McBride – The Denver papers all publish accounts of the death of Pat McBride, who died at the American House on Sunday morning. The following account of the affair by the Democrat leaves nothing to be added: "The many friends of Hon. Patrick A. McBride, were surprised as well as pained yesterday morning to learn of his sudden and untimely death in this city. The deceased, though comparatively a young man, was well known throughout the state. He came to Colorado in 1860, and settled in Las Animas county, where he soon became a popular leader among the democrats. In 1868 he was chosen judge of the probate court of Las Animas county, and served an honorable term of two years, after which he was elected a member of the territorial council, and served in that capacity. Of late years his friends have witnessed his gradual decline in health, caused altogether by excessive drinking, to which he had become addicted. Last week he was taken ill and remained in his room at the American House. He appeared to grow gradually worse but no one thought his case was serious. On Sunday morning one of the members of the Irish-American Progressive Society, of which he was a member, repaired to his room and found that he was dead. Coroner Webb was summoned and after an examination into the facts, and hearing the testimony of medical experts, the jury returned a verdict of death, caused by a too great indulgence in intoxicating drink. The remains were removed to Walley's undertaking establishment, where they were prepared for burial. A brother of the deceased, who resides in Las Animas county, was sent for and will be here this evening.

McClelland, John W.
John W. McClelland - Memorial to Fallen Officers - The presence of the Memorial to Fallen Officers in the lobby of the Colorado Corrections Training Academy, Cañon City, stands as an everlasting symbol of honor to the fourteen men who have given their lives in the line of duty. The Colorado DOC recognizes the ultimate price paid, dedication and loyalty of the following men: Riot - 1929 - October 3, 1929 - The deadly riot of October 3, 1929, at the Colorado State Penitentiary was preceded earlier that summer by a series of riots in two New York prisons and the Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. These riots prompted rumors that an organized effort to disrupt the nation's prison system was underway. The riots left 8 staff dead. Details of the tragedy indicated that it was the "bloodiest chapter in the history of the Colorado State Prison." Not only were lives lost, but also large sections of the prison were destroyed by fire. It is estimated that over 2,000 rounds of ammunition were fired during the melee. Perhaps these words written in the Warden's Report to the Colorado Board of Corrections in 1930 say it best: "I wish at this time to commend them for their bravery, loyalty and the supreme sacrifice they made. Their memories will always be held in the deepest reverence and respect by the officials and remaining co-workers." The following men lost their lives in the line of duty: John W. McClelland - McClelland ran the tailor shop at the prison and had lived in Canon City for 14 years at 621 North Fifth Street. After word of his murder during the riot was received by friends, they mourned his passing, as he was well-liked throughout the community. He left a wife and three children.

Pueblo, Colorado - May 26, 1895 -Two of the old residents of Pueblo County died early this morning within three hours, John B. McCormick and Judge Norman P. Richards. Mr. McCormick was born in Baltimore in 1823, enlisted in the Seventh Iowa infantry in 1861, and was mustered out at the close of the war as a major. In 1867 he came to Pueblo County and had lived here ever since, occupying the same house in East Pueblo for twenty-two years. He served as alderman, and was at one time acting mayor. He became an Odd Fellow in 1844 and held the highest positions in the Colorado order. A year ago, the fiftieth anniversary of his initiation was celebrated at Denver.

McCormick, Richard
Richard McCormick - Boulder County News - May 19, 1876 - A Thief Dies Game - The Pueblo Chieftain of last week tells the story as follows: About ten or twelve days since, Richard McCormick, better known as "Dirty Dick," a notorious cattle thief, and a "slick one" generally, was captured at Granada and lodged in jail. The scene of Dick's operations had been in the vicinity of Trinidad, and many of the cattle owners of Las Animas county had suffered from his depredations. As soon as he was captured the authorities of Las Animas county were notified, and Deputy Sheriff Rifenburg, in company with Messrs. Doss, Roberts, and some other parties whose names we could not learn, started for Granada to bring McCormick back. McCormick was placed in jail to await their arrival, and heavily ironed. When the jailer came into the room in which Dick was confined the prisoner attacked and overpowered him, and locking the officer in his room went into the office, presumably for the purpose of obtaining tools to rid himself of his irons, and arms for defense. The jailer, it seems, had a revolver concealed somewhere in the jail, and while Dick was investigating affairs in the office, shot him (Dick), badly wounding him. When the party from Trinidad arrived, the doctor in attendance objected seriously to Dick's removal, stating that it might cause his death. This the officers of the law didn't pay much attention to, and on Friday last McCormick and his captors took passage in the caboose of a freight train on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, bound for Trinidad by way of Pueblo. The prisoner, supposed to be severely wounded, had a bed made for him in the [illegible] of the car, his guards lying all around him. Late at night, when the train reached La Junta, Mr. Doss, who was sick and unable to sleep, saw Dick rise and start towards the car door. Mr. Doss grabbed him and called to the others to get up and secure the prisoner. The noise of the train prevented his call from being heard, but the prisoner said he did not mean to attempt an escape. As soon as Mr. Doss loosened his grasp, McCormick rushed to the door and jumped from the train, running toward the river at a rapid rate. By this time sleepers were aroused, the train was stopped, and a portion of the party followed in pursuit. They soon overtook the fugitive and commenced firing at him. He begged them to desist, saying that they were shooting him to pieces. The ceased firing, when McCormick rushed to the river and leaped into the swollen stream. He was heavily ironed, though he left his coat and boots in the car. He was carried down by the swift current, his pursuers shooting at him as long as he was in sight. Messrs. Rifenburg and Doss came on to Pueblo on Saturday, leaving two of the party to hunt up McCormick. These latter arrived here on Sunday, having failed to find their man. Deputy Sheriff Rifenburg thinks that McCormick succeeding in getting out the of water on the opposite side, but those who remained behind to search for him think he was carried down by the water and was drowned. Conductor Scott, of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, who arrived in Pueblo yesterday, tells the Chieftain that as he came by a point seven miles east of West Animas Monday afternoon, an inquest was in progress upon McCormick's body. He escaped from his pursuers, crossed the river, and was on his return towards West Las Animas on the railroad when he laid down by the side of the track and died of his wounds.

But most of all he loved his family and enjoyed spending his pastime playing and interacting with his son. Sam was attending Pueblo Community College, majoring in auto body repair and custom painting. He was interning and working part-time at Champlain's Auto Service and Custom Painting. Sam loved his new career and new found friends associated with his internship and work. Sam is preceded in death by grandparents, James B.

As the train was pulling over La Veta pass yesterday the conductor noticed that McDonald was sick, but after a few moments he seemed entirely to have recovered. At Pueblo the train went into the charge of Conductor Hancock and shortly after leaving that city he punched McDonald's ticket without noticing anything apparently was the matter with the man. Just before reaching this city the conductor went into the drawing room and found the man dead. He was quite alone at the time. A sudden attack of asthma is supposed to have caused his demise.

McDowell, Eliza
Mrs. Eliza McDowell – Newspaper Unknown – Date Unknown – Died From Excitement - Mrs. Eliza McDowell Witnesses a Runaway and Immediately Succumbs - A runaway horse attached to an express wagon, so excited Mrs. Eliza A. McDowell, a lady 54 years of age that she died a few minutes after of heart failure. Mrs. McDowell has lived with her son John, at No. 1164 S. Fifteenth Street, which is at the corner of S. Fifteenth Street and W. Twelfth Avenue.  Last night about 7:30 o'clock she was sitting looking out of an upstairs window onto W. Twelfth Avenue.  Suddenly a horse attached to an express wagon ran by. "Oh look at that," exclaimed Mrs. McDowell and she jumped up, in spite of her years, ran down the stairs and out to S. Fifteenth Street as spry as a girl of 16 years. Her lady companion and her son followed her leisurely to the gate. The runaway horse was stopped at the intersection of the two streets.  Mrs. McDowell, having no more to interest her, silently turned away and entered the house, leaving her two companions at the gate. Her son John seemed to divine that something was wrong, and turning around hurried into the house after his mother.  He found her lying at the head of the stairs with her head and shoulders resting on the landing.  He summoned assistance and his mother was conveyed to her bed. She was dead, however, and all efforts to resuscitate her were useless. Her son and friends think the sudden excitement of the runaway horse so worked on her that heart failure followed. No definite arrangements for the funeral have been made, but it will probably be held tomorrow afternoon.  Mrs. Morgan of Pueblo is a daughter of the deceased, and the funeral arrangements are postponed awaiting her arrival. Newspaper and date not known - Died Eliza A. McDowell - Eliza A. McDowell, sister of ex-Governor A. C. Hunt, May 29. Funeral at 2 o'clock today from residence, friends invited.

The deceased was a native of Ireland, for many years a resident of Scotland, and had been twenty-four years in this country and about one year, in Pueblo. This sudden and violent taking away of this venerable lady, who had passed through so many of the storms and so much of the sunshine of this life, was extremely distressing to the family, and their grief was unconsolable.

The services were conducted Sunday evening by the Rev. Mr. Green, of the Episcopal Church, and were peculiarly and beautifully impressing.

McGill, Ernest G.
Ernest G. McGill - Huerfano World - April 16, 1992 - This Week in Walsenburg History - 1914: Ernest G. McGill, manager of the Western Stores at Maitland, committed suicide in a Pueblo hotel. Brandon Bell - April 17, 1914 - Mine Man Ends Life - Ernest McGill Sends Bullet Into His Heart - Victor American Employe Bids Mother Good-bye, Tells Wife of Love, and Hints at Short Accounts - McGill came to Pueblo Friday. He was en route to Denver to confer with officials of the company. He formerly lived here and spent half a day with his parents and six brothers. Saturday morning he left, saying he was going to take an early train to Denver. Instead, he went to a hotel, engaged a room, and after writing three letters to his mother and wife, it is evident that he placed the revolver against his left breast and pulled the trigger. He leaves a widow and two children at Maitland. McGill was considered a most promising young man, who had made good with the corporation by which he was employed. His father is John McGill, 829 South Union avenue. The family expresses the greatest surprise that their son and brother could have been in financial straits, as it was known that he was making a good salary, and he was thought to have been living carefully and making the most of his opportunities. During the afternoon the mail man delivered a letter to Mrs. McGill, the mother. To her surprise, it was from her son, signed "Ernest," and she was informed in a few words that he desired to be buried in a certain black suit which he had left at home. He closed with, "I wrote Lucille, and insist that she use just as little as possible in putting me away, as she will need all that she can save." In his letter to his wife, McGill said: "I want you to kiss me on the lips and tell me that you still love me, and that you forgive me all the suffering I have caused my poor wife and children. I am not leaving your [sic] anything but the insurance and some stock, and this is my greatest regret. I owe the company more than I am worth." Another line says: "My dear wife, how many times I have wished I had taken your advice and behaved myself, for I know now that you really love me. I love you better than I do my own life."

McGonigal, Joe
Joe McGonigal (a.k.a. M'Gonnigal, McGonigle) – Joseph McGonigal -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.Colorado Public Defender - April 26, 1924 - Joe McGonigal (a.k.a. M'Gonnigal, McGonigle), Trinidad (Las Animas County). W-W. Hanging. McGonigal was convicted of murdering Wilbur N. Ferguson, a student at the Colorado School of Mines, and Ella Centers, the daughter of the owner of a rooming house where both Ferguson and McGonigal lived. McGonigal, forty-two, worked as a watchman at a mine, and at one time had been prominent in the affairs of the United Mine Workers. He shot Ferguson inside the house, and Centers fled in terror. McGonigal chased her and killed her with a shotgun as she pleaded for her life. Several nearby workmen witnessed the murder. McGonigal then returned to the house and, apparently to create a self-defense claim, shot himself in the foot, which later had to be amputated. The state alleged that the McGonigal committed the murders while drunk and that he was jealous of the personal relationship between Ferguson and Centers. McGonigal's sole defense was insanity, although he only proffered jail prisoners, and no experts, to support that claim. In contrast, three psychiatrists testified that the defendant was sane. On appeal, the defense attorney failed to file an abstract of the record and brief. The court reprimanded the attorney and cited him for contempt, but permitted him to continue on the case. The conviction was later affirmed, and after the governor granted a one-month stay of execution to evaluate McGonigal's sanity, he was hanged with the "old water type" gallows.

McGowan, John J.
John J. McGowan – Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – October 16, 1911 – Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds – From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle – From Monday's Daily – The death of John J. McGowan at the county hospital Saturday marks the passing of ____ _____ ____ ___ ___ ____ _______ characters that have made the pages of the history of this camp good reading. Among these characters is the man who just missed joining a company that "struck it rich;" the man who did "strike it" and spent it all; the man who sold a claim for a pittance and afterward saw others get rich. All these characters Leadville boasts of. Some of them are still living. But John J. McGowan was different from all of them. His life story does not tell of how he missed getting rich or how he was once rich. He was never rich, and he never had any prospects of getting rich. The peculiar note of McGowan's song of life was that he was always GOING to get rich. His mining "deals" consisted of one long series of organizations of paper companies. More often, though, he did not take the trouble to describe the property on paper. Most of the corporations that he organized were but the figments of his vivid imagination. He was an organizer who never organized anything. And yet his castles in Spain brought him some revenue. They at least kept him out of the county hospital for a number of years. McGowan had the faculty of being able to transform his fairy mining schemes into good substantial boarding house fare. In this respect he was superior to most dreamers who got nothing for their dreams but a pile of rags in a garret and a diet of bread and water. A glance at McGowan's method in cashing his dreams might be helpful to that class of persons who concern themselves with the architecture of air castles. McGowan kept (a) close tab on the boarding houses of Leadville. He had boarded at most of them for a year or more, and he always paid his bills. He never failed to do that when the landlady became anxious and asked him about a settlement. McGowan believed in paying up; that was one of the rules of his life. So when the landlady spoke to McGowan he would take out a fountain pen and say: "My dear madam, you are not aware, I take it, that I am interested in the organization of a mining company of which I am to be chief stockholder and president." As a rule the landlady would reply that she was not aware of anything of that sort. Then McGowan, who all the time had been waving the pen importantly, would turn to the pad of paper on the table and write a few words in a fine flourishing hand that made the landlady think he surely must be a president of some sort. He would then hand the woman a statement to the effect that he owed her such and such an amount and that he would pay it to her in the stock of such and such a company. Then McGowan would hunt a new boarding place and pay the landlady her bill in "stocks." After a time the landladies of Leadville had got all the stocks they needed in this life, and McGowan lost his credit. So he began to watch for new places to open up where he might introduce himself and leave a promise of his stocks. It had got to a point where he couldn't get a meal at the places where there was no lead of introducing himself. That is how the old dreamer cashed his dreams. It shows a certain amount of ingenuity and uniqueness. The average dreamer starves to death with a hundred schemes in his head and nothing in his stomach. But McGowan was an extraordinary dreamer; he knew how to get his board, if not his fortunes, from his wildcat schemes. In this way McGowan stepped around the expediency of begging or receiving charity. That was the point on which he was ____. He took offense at the offer of a "helping hand." He had been an expert bookkeeper in his day, and had earned a good salary in the employ of the Clatlin (?) Company of New York. Very likely, it was the memory of his former vocation (?) and the knowledge of his ability that kept him from begging or receiving alms. He finally had to give up the struggle to side-step charity and go to the county hospital. By the time that he went he was so broken in health and so weak that it is likely that he had not enough spirit left to care whether he was paying board with imaginary stocks or living on the charity of the county. He kept a diary and set down punctiously (?) the state of the weather each day, the success he had in securing a loan and the menu for breakfast. One or two excerpts from the diary gives the keynote to the latter part of his life that was spent in effecting "loans" in preference to accepting alms and of boarding on the strength of his "stocks" in preference to becoming a beggar. "May 16 – Heard today that ---- made a good strike in silver. Must see him about a loan." "June 3 – Got a loan of five from ---- today. Food is good. Must begin to think on paying board." "June 5 – Got ½ pint from ---- today. Had oatmeal for breakfast." "July 18 – Consulted Madam ---- today. She told of my past, present and future. Said I would get a paper in a few days. Would be rich." McGowan knew the geology of Leadville thoroughly and located many claims. He had brains and imagination. He could conceive great things, but he lacked the "something" that is necessary to make dreams realities. He could have outlined on paper any of the great schemes that have materialized in this camp and are now paying propositions. But McGowan was not the man to execute what he planned. That he was an imaginative genius without being a practical one is shown by the remark that people make of him now that he is dead. "He was one of the 'millionaires' of Leadville, but his millions were in his mind." So they were "all in his mind," but with a little executive talent in his make-up they might have been in his pocket. Note: The quality of this article was very poor. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – October 30, 1911 – Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds – From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle – From Monday's Daily – M'Gowan's Son-In-Law Heard From – Word was received last week by Coroner O'Malia from the son-in-law of John J. McGowan, who died over a week ago in Leadville. After an attempt to locate the family of the deceased in Pueblo it was found that H. S. Payne, the son-in-law, had moved to Los Angeles, Cal. He has made arrangements for the funeral which will be held some time this week. In a letter found, among the possessions of the late McGowan, from Mr. Payne, it appears that McGowan's daughter knew nothing of the indigent circumstances of her father, and it is likely that old John J. with all his pride took pains to keep his people in Pueblo ignorant of the fact that he had one foot in the county hospital and that it was a question of but a few months when the other would go in. The letter confirms the opinion advanced by many of McGowan's friends and acquaintances that the old "mine promoter" was extraordinarily sensitive on the subject of his financial distress. It appears from the letter that Mr. Payne was at the time of writing holding a good position as chief clerk to the master mechanic of the Denver and Rio Grande shops in Pueblo. In the letter he assumes that McGowan is a prosperous mining man. Judging from what is known of McGowan's character it seems probable that McGowan himself conveyed this impression. It was of the peculiar traits of his mind to pose as a well-to-do promoter of a mining scheme of vast proportions. If he carried this air of prosperity among his acquaintances it is all the more probable that he would carry it in his communications with his relatives. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – October 30, 1911 – Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds – From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle – From Friday's Daily – Funeral of the Late J. J. McGowan – The funeral of the late John J. McGowan was held yesterday from the chapel of Moynahan and O'Malia's undertaking parlors. The remains were interred in Evergreen cemetery. The pallbearers were: Dan Healy, Sam McGowan, Hugh Duffy, William Martin, Robert Walsh and John Kearney.

Kay McGrath was particularly proud of being both American and English - she never renounced her English citizenship and friends will remember that, tongue-in-cheek, she sometimes flew the Union Jack on July 4th. The person she most admired, Winston Churchill, was also half-English and half-American. She greatly enjoyed the Colorado mountains and wildlife, particularly feeding hummingbirds, collecting mushrooms, and bird and bear watching. She was a person of great good humor and probing and broad intellect. One of her favorite pastimes was provocative discussions and friendly arguments with her children and grandchildren. In fact, she liked to argue that in her opinion the best things about America, the Plymouth Colony, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Episcopal Church were the intellectual creations of dissident Englishmen. She was a loving and proud grandmother and was always an interesting and stimulating companion and teacher to her grandsons. Kay was a member of many organizations, the PEO chapter CI, the Cuerna Verde Association, the Wednesday Morning Book Club, Dow Jones Investment Club, longtime member of Ascension Episcopal Church (Altar Guild and Rector's Guild). She also volunteered in many organizations to improve Pueblo such as the Broadway Theatre League, KTSC-PBS, and the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center. Friends will remember that she was an avid tennis player, a nature lover and particularly fond of Airedales. Kay will be greatly missed by family and friends. Kay's family wants to express their deepest appreciation for the kindness and wonderful gestures of friendship from all her friends, the very caring and professional people from Sangre de Cristo Hospice, and the love and spiritual support from the clergy at Ascension Church. At her request, there will be no viewing. Cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium. Memorial Service will be held 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, 2003, at the Ascension Episcopal Church, 18th and Grand, with the Rev. Dr. Ephraim Radneo officiating.

McGrath, Ella C.
Ella C. McGrath - Westland News - August 14, 1919 - In Memory; Life's race was well run, Life's work well done, Life's crown well won, Now comes rest. Ella C. McGrath was born in Lacon, Illinois, September 15, 1878. She attended public school there until her family moved to Colorado in 1887, settling at Towner. She continued her education at Towner and Pueblo. Later she went to San Francisco and entered a business college. After completing this course, she was employed in the office of the T. J. Morgan Plumbing Co., later going to El Paso, Texas, with that firm and worked for them until the fall of 1909, when she returned to her girlhood home at Towner. Here she was employed by the Towner Mercantile Company and later by W. H. Mayne. She took an interest in her work and her employer's welfare became her own. She was appointed postmistress in February 1915, and here as well as in other work, the desire to improve the service became an absorbing interest. No one can fill her place. She gave her life freely that she might lighten the burden of others. The body was frail for so great a task. She was never strong and on August 2 she passed to the Great Beyond., She was buried in Roselawn Cemetery at Pueblo. The writer knew Ella McGrath many years and has never known a more beautiful, helpful and unselfish life. Though frail in body, she was strong in the spirit of love. She never counted the cost to herself but was ever thoughtful of others and anxious to help them. Her young life touched those with whom she came in contact and all are better because of her influence. In sickness and sorrow, after a long and tiresome day, her hand helped, her voice and her smile cheered. Ellas' life did not belong to her home or her family alone, but to the community in which she lived. Her passing is a personal loss. She will be missed by all who knew her. No word of reproach or of slight is over spoken of her; there is no memory of her except of loving administrations. She left the richest bequest that can be given to the world, a radiant, spotless example, which will live and vibrate throughout the ages. There is no death! The stars go down, To rise upon some fairer shore; And brighten Heaven's jeweled crown; They shine forevermore. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is Life; There are no dead.

McKenzie, Millie
Millie McKenzie – Pueblo Chieftain – July 22, 1920 – Speeding D. & R. G. Train Kills Two Women – Nurse Strives to Save Patient From Death on Rails Near Woodcroft – Mrs. Millie McKenzie, Inmate at Sanitarium, and Mrs. Sibyl Voruz Meet Horrible Death – Mrs. Sibyl Voruz, a special nurse at Woodcroft Sanitarium and Mrs. Millie McKenzie, a patient at the institution, were instantly killed at 7:50 o'clock last night by a Denver and Rio Grande south-bound passenger train. Mrs. Voruz lost her life in attempting to save that of her patient. From reports obtained last night, Mrs. Voruz took Mrs. McKenzie, who is from Bingham Canon, Utah, out for a walk near the sanitarium. Either they were walking along the tracks, which is against the orders of the institution, or the patient insisted upon getting onto the rails, when Denver and Rio Grande passenger train No. 3, coming from Denver came in sight. Fireman J. E. Conoway of the locomotive, states that Mrs. McKenzie ran at top speed toward the engine while Mrs. Voruz followed apparently in an effort to catch the patient and get her out of harm's way. The pair were completely hidden from view of the trainmen by the high board fence surrounding the Stearns-Roger plant, and when seen, it was too late to stop. Engineer E. A. Slerth put on his brakes, stopped the train and those in charge of the train hastened back to render aid if aid was possible. Trainmaster R. L. Brown happened to be on the train and summoned Dr. Work from the sanitarium nearby. Work identified the bodies as those of the nurse and her patient. The form of Mrs. McKenzie was badly mangled, while the effect of the impact was less apparent in the case of Mrs. Voruz. Officials at the sanitarium state that it is against the rules for attendants to take patients for a walk along the railroad tracks. In this case, however, there is wide margin for doubt, since the only person who witnessed the accident was the fireman, whose first glimpse of the victims showed the patient in flight from the nurse. It is entirely possible that the patient might have bolted and fled from the grounds with the attendant in pursuit. Authorities at the sanitarium state that Mrs. McKenzie's mind was only mildly affected. Mrs. Voruz came here about three months ago, in charge of her patient, whose home was in Bingham Canon, Utah. Neither have relatives in this city. Mrs. McKenzie is survived by a son, L. R. Gibbs, in Bingham Canon. She is 51 years old, according to records at Woodcroft, which give the year of her birth as 1869. The nurse was about the same age. Coroner Luke McLean, summoned soon after the accident, stated last night that an inquest will be held, the time of which is as yet indefinite. The bodies are at McCarthy's. Pueblo Chieftain – July 23, 1920 – Orders Inquest Over Bodies of Women Killed by Train – Coroner L. MacLean has ordered an inquest held this afternoon at 4 o'clock over the bodies of Mrs. Sybil Vorus and Mrs. Millie McKenzie who were killed by a Rio Grande passenger train near Woodcroft sanitarium at 7:50 o'clock Wednesday evening. The head of Mrs. Vorus, the nurse of Mrs. McKenzie was crushed, and the body of Mrs. McKenzie was horribly mutilated. Persons who rushed to the scene state that the train left the place carrying its passengers, many of whom had alighted and witnessed the gruesome results, fully ten minutes before the Coroner or other officials could reach the scene. A number of witnesses have been subpoenaed by deputy sheriff Delliquadri among them some eye witnesses of the actual tragedy. The hearing will be held at the McCarthy Undertaking parlors. Pueblo Chieftain – July 24, 1920 – Coroner's Jury Probes the Death of Hospital Nurse – Mrs. Sybil Voruz came to her death on July 21, 1920, by being struck by Rio Grande passenger train No. 3, at a point near the Woodcroft sanitarium in the city of Pueblo, in an effort to save the life of Mrs. Millie McKenzie. The nurse disobeyed the rules of more than a score of years standing, in taking her patient to the locality, where the fatality occurred. This in substance, is the verdict of the coroner's jury which yesterday afternoon held an inquest over the body of Mrs. Voruz, who while engaged in frantic efforts to keep her patient from leaping in front of the train, lost her own life at the same instant her charge was killed. The wheels passed over Mrs. Voruz' head completely severing the upper portion of the head and face. Among the interesting facts brought out by the testimony were the following: Recently the head nurse had called Mrs. Voruz and another nurse who it was said had disobeyed the rules in taking their patients to the front gates and near the railway tracks, into a room and told them that if they had not understood this rule they must be made to understand it then. The gongs which are located at the sanitarium crossing and at the Stearns Roger works crossing had been out of order and had not performed their functions for a week prior to the fatality. The train crew pulled out with the train at least ten minutes before the arrival of the coroner or the deputy coroner, leaving the mangled fragments of Mrs. McKenzie's body lying along the tracks; the body of Mrs. Voruz had been picked up and carried into the hospital by attendants of the institution. The two women had been outside the hospital gates and at the Woodcroft station, and walking along between the hospital hedge and the north-bound track of the railroad for from twenty minutes to half an hour before the train arrived. Mrs. McKenzie was seen to rush toward the track in front of the train, and Mrs. Voruz was doing all in her power to hold her back. Fireman Conaway, Maynard Clauson and Mrs. Mary Halcob all testified to having seen Mrs. McKenzie rushing toward the track in front of the train, and they all told of the heroic efforts of the nurse to save her charge. Fireman Conaway being on the same side of the engine as the two women were of the tracks had a clear view of the actions above noted, but the train was running at 25 miles an hour and the women could not be seen by him until within 200 feet of them on account of the curve. He shouted to Engineer E. A. Scholer, who knew something awful had been seen by the fireman, and he at once set his brakes and as quickly as they were in position applied the emergency; just at that instant he saw the body of a woman thrown from the track by the pilot. The train was composed of eleven cars, some 70 and some 80 feet in length; the train was stopped in little more than its length. Both the fireman and the engineer stated that the whistle was sounded for the hospital crossing and also for the curve; other witnesses verified these statements. Other witnesses who were on the spot quickly after the accident, and who were positive that the train pulled out before the arrival of the coroner were Mrs. Agnes Sanders of twenty fourth and Main, and Mrs. Beulah Hall of 117 West twenty fourth. These women also spoke of the body of Mrs. Voruz being taken by hospital attendants into the institution. Mrs. Halcob, whose home is in the 2800 block on Grand avenue, stated that she was watching the train from her rear porch and saw two women, one in black, the other in nurse's garb, sitting at the station; when the second whistle of the locomotive sounded, the woman in black seemed to become frightened and ran toward the track in front of the train; the woman in light attire grabbed her and tried awfully hard to keep the other off the track but the woman in black seemed much the stronger and dragged the other who was holding on all the time to the track. Dr. Hubert Work, founder of the sanitarium, was asked by Coroner MacLean if he cared to make a statement. The doctor told the jury that Mrs. McKenzie, who was brought to the institution last March from Utah, came with a melancholy history, but neither by her actions or words had she shown such signs since being at the local institution; she had always been quiet and made little or no trouble since being here. Dr. Work believed from requests she had made not to be taken near the region of the railway tracks, that she was afraid of herself; that is, she feared she would be impelled to do the very thing she did do. Following his analysis of the case, Dr. Work said informally, "People do not commit suicide because they want to but because they can not help it." Coroner MacLean stated that a son of Mrs. McKenzie is shortly expected from Utah, and he will not decide until after a consultation with him, whether there will be held an inquest over the body of Mrs. McKenzie. Pueblo Chieftain – July 26, 1920 – The remains of Mrs. Millie McKenzie were forwarded yesterday by the McCarthy Undertaking Co., to Salt Lake, Utah for burial. Pueblo Chieftain - July 22, 1920 - Died - Mrs. Milly McKenzie, died July 21. Body at McCarthy's.

In his pockets were several letters from Miss Shafer, a waitress at Salida. One of them, a short note, indicated that the two had at least discussed the question of killing themselves. "I am going to put an end to it all," read the note; "there is nothing but trouble in this world and without you life is nothing. Remember the last words I told you and keep your promise to me. Good-by, dear, forever." On the other side of the paper these words were written: "My God, what have I done!"

Mike Medina, 36, an employee of the CF&I corporation's Kebler mine at Tioga, was killed last night in a rock fall while at work on the night shift, according to word here today. Although the investigation into the accident has not yet been completed by George Smith, deputy state coal mine inspector, and members of the Huerfano county coroner's staff, it is understood that Medina was struck by a mass of rock from a rock "shell" near the working face. Two other men, members of the same crew, were slightly injured in the fall. They are Louis Pineda and Jess Amidor, but in neither case were the injuries serious beyond scratches and bruises. Sketchy reports of the accident state that Medina was working about 15 feet back of the face, and had just started to load coal on a conveyor when the large mass of rock fell, striking him squarely. This is the second fatal accident at the Kebler mine in the past week. Mike Duzenack, veteran miner, died last Wednesday when struck by a runaway trip while at work in the mine. According to reports, Medina had been employed at Kebler for the past several months. He is survived by his widow, Beneranda, at the family home at 411 West Eighth street; by three sons, Connrie, 12, Bernard, 9, and Mike Jr., 7, two daughters, Gloria, 5, and Lavena, four months; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Medina of West Fourth street; and by two brothers, Angelo and Frank of this city. He was a member of the UMWA local at Tioga, No. 6611. He was born May 8, 1908, in Old Mexico, but had been a resident of Huerfano county since 1920. An inquest into Medina's death will be held Friday (tomorrow) evening at 7 o'clock at the Huerfano county district courtroom, Coroner Unfug announced today, Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

Meehan, Bernard Harold
Bernard Meehan – Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph – December 30, 1973 – Third Lawman Slain – Three lawmen were killed in Colorado last week, two killing suspects are dead, and law officials are looking for two suspects in the first incident. The dead law officials are: 1. Colorado State Patrolman Thomas Carpenter, 31, murdered in his patrol car Thursday morning in Denver. Carpenter, father of three children, had served on the patrol since 1968. He was the fifth patrolman to be slain in the line of duty. 2. 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.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph – January 20, 1974 – 3 Indicted for Slaying of Policeman – Pueblo, Colo. – The Pueblo County statutory grand jury has returned indictments against three youths in connection with the slaying of Pueblo police officer Thomas Hanson Dec. 29. Named in the first-degree murder indictments were Charles D. Salazar, 17; Patrick R. Martinez, 18, and James E. Wallace, 15, all of Pueblo. Bond for the trio was set at $50,000. All three are being held at the county jail. The murder charges arose from an incident at a convenience market in which Hanson was shot and killed by Bernard Meehan, and Hanson's partner, James Askey, in turn shot Meehan dead. The three youths are charged in accordance with a statute providing the filing of murder charges against persons involved in a felony during or after which the death of a non-participant is caused. Bernard Harold Meehan - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - January 22, 1974 - Case Dismissed Against Killer of Pueblo Cop - Bernard Harold Meehan, who shot and killed a police officer in Pueblo and who in turn was shot and killed, had a charge of armed robbery against him plus a second count of conspiracy dismissed in district court Monday. Meehan, 19, of the Lytle Star Route, killed Cpl. Thomas M. Hanson, 29, Dec. 29 during a shootout at a Pueblo 7-Eleven Store. The officer had gone into the store for a carton of milk and observed a holdup in progress. In the exchange of fire which followed, both men were killed. Meehan was out on bond at the time and had been charged in Pueblo with a burglary. Here in Colorado Springs, he had been charged with robbing Kwik Way Store, 425 N. Murray Blvd., while armed with a gun, Oct. 11. On Monday co-defendant Robert Wayne Legg, 22, of Ft. Carson, pleaded guilty when the two counts were amended to simple robbery.

Meeks, George
George Meeks – Durango Democrat – January 26, 1900 – Fort Scott, Kan., Jan. 25 – Thousands of people today viewed the remains of "Ed" and George Meeks, the murderers who were lynched in the jail yard. The bodies still lie at the morgue, the hands and legs shackled as they were when the men were taken from their cells by the mob.

The coroner will hold an inquest tomorrow. The people have quieted down and it is not believed that there will be any further attempt to lynch Amos Phillips, for whom the mob searched in vain.

Meigs, John
John Meigs – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – August 16, 1877 – A Murderous Row – One Man Killed and Five Wounded at West Las Animas – The Roughs Notified to Leave the Country – [Special to the Chieftain] – West Las Animas, August 11, 1877. – This city was the theater last night of one of the bloodiest rows that has occurred in the vicinity for a number of years. There has been bad blood for some time between Jack Williams, the keeper of a dance hall, and some of the Mexicans, especially so between him and Antonio Sandoval, the keeper of the Broncho Mexican saloon and dance house. On yesterday afternoon Jack and a Mexican had a fight in a butcher shop, but they were separated before either was badly hurt. Jack was on the warpath all evening, and knowing that there was to be a dance at the Broncho last night to celebrate a Mexican wedding, he rallied his forces, consisting of about a dozen deadbeats, thieves, pimps and roughs, and after getting in a sufficient supply of fighting whisky, they went on the warpath, and shortly after eleven o'clock went into the Broncho. One King, a dead beat, thief and bully, soon managed to start the music by catching a Mexican by the whiskers and jerking him around the room; about the same time one of his companions kicked a Mexican woman. The Mexicans seized the roughs and hustled them out of the house, and one of them let a knife into King as he was going out. He no doubt aimed for the jugular vein, but struck the bone at the butt of the ear, and the knife ranged downwards, making a very ugly cut. He bled like a stuck pig, and is very weak from the loss of blood. His recovery is considered doubtful. As soon as he got out side one Mullen began firing into the crowd, and Amado Chavez and a Mexican fiddler named Mason returned the fire, about which time the action became general, and Jack Williams and his crowd took to their heels. A fellow named John Meigs, better known as "Antelope Jack," was shot through the lungs, the ball going in just under the right arm, slightly cutting it and passing clear through the body, lodged beneath the skin near the shoulder joint of the other arm. He fell within fifty feet of the building and died in a few moments. The valiant Mullen was shot through both legs and bellowed like a bull calf. He was found in a pitiable plight. A negro barber named Stewart, who had went along "an invited guest of Williams' to see him clean out the Mexicans," was shot in the side, the ball lodging against the spine. He made more noise than all of the rest, trying to get a doctor to attend to him before the more seriously wounded. He thinks himself badly treated because he was "only an invited guest." Jack Williams was shot in the back under the shoulder blade, and the ball is inside of him. His recovery is very doubtful. Antonio Sandoval is shot in the hand and thigh, the latter a very serious wound. King ran down the street a block after being stabbed, and turned the corner, falling on the side walk in front of the Vendiver House. The dancing was suspended for the night and the balance of the night spent in caring for the wounded. Great excitement prevailed and it was not very healthy to be on the streets, as men were going in every direction with the butt ends of ugly navy or army revolvers sticking out of their pockets, and ready to shoot at a moment's notice. This morning acting Coroner J. H. Jay, justice of the peace, summoned a jury and held an inquest over the body of Antelope Jack. Several witnesses were examined, but most of them were so badly frightened that they could not give a very clear account. The jury returned a verdict that John Meigs came to his death by a pistol shot fired by Amado Chaves, the bar-keeper of the Broncho. Chaves, Sandoval, George Mason and King were arrested and lodged in jail, and several more will doubtless be arrested. Williams is too badly wounded to be taken to jail. Great credit is due to Sheriff T. J. Hickman and his deputies, Frost and Parsons, for the promptness with which they gathered them in after the shooting. After the inquest Antelope Jack was placed in a plain pine coffin and followed by about a half dozen friends, was taken to the grave yard. He was considered the best man among the lot of roughs, and has lately been driving a team for Pat Shanley. He has been for a good many years on the plains and was formerly a buffalo hunter. Great indignation at the conduct of Williams and his gang is expressed by the peaceable citizens of West Las Animas and Bent county, and a meeting to take action to rid the town of them is called for 2 o'clock to-day. C. W. Bowman, the enterprising publisher of the Leader, got out an extra on yesterday morning detailing the particulars of the tragedy of the night before at West Las Animas. Later. [Special to the Chieftain] – West Las Animas, August 11. – By common consent a large number of citizens, including several of the most influential in the county, assembled at the court house in this place at two o'clock this afternoon, for the purpose of devising ways and means to put down dance and gambling halls. J. H. Jay was elected chairman and John Spiers secretary. A committee of five on resolutions was appointed and during their absence remarks were made by Hon. J. W. Prowers and others favoring the most vigorous measures for the extermination of all loafers, vagrants and dance house men from West Las Animas. The committee reported as follows: Whereas, For some considerable time the peace of this community has been constantly menaced, life has been endangered and the burden of taxation augmented by the existence of dance and gambling halls in our midst, conducted ostensibly under license, therefore resolved: First – That it is the sense of the citizens of West Las Animas that the dance and gambling halls now in this place be closed, and that no other be permitted to open under any circumstances whatever. Second – That we urge upon our officials the most rigorous enforcement of the law against persons keeping dance and gambling houses, or other disorderly resorts, and we pledge our hearty co-operation with said officials in the maintenance of law and order. Third – We are determined that all persons found in town without visible means of support, of the vagrant and riff-raff class, shall be arrested and punished according to law. The foregoing being read were unanimously adopted. A supplementary resolution was offered by the committee and adopted, requesting the chair to appoint a committee of seven to wait on all vagrants and disorderly characters and request them to "vamoose the ranch" at the earliest possible moment. A strong committee was appointed and it was ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be furnished the Leader and Chieftain with a request to publish the same. The proceedings were temperate and orderly throughout, but showed that the season of forbearance with the good and law abiding people towards disturbers, rioters and law breakers, is at an end.

Mellen, William P.
William P. Mellen – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 20, 1873 – Death of W. P. Mellen – Yesterday, we were startled by the intelligence of the death of this distinguished, valued, useful and most worthy citizen. When the news of this sudden taking away first reached our office, we could scarcely give credence to the announcement, but we soon learned beyond doubt, that the painful information was all too true. Mr. Mellen died of apoplexy at Cincinnati, Ohio, at 6 o'clock, P. M., on the 16th inst., Sunday last. The death was sudden and unexpected, as he was in his usual health a few hours before he was attacked by the fearful malady that caused the demise. At the time of the demise, Mr. Mellen was president of the Central Colorado Improvement Company, which has done so much toward building up, improving and beautifying South Pueblo, and one of the directors and solicitors of the Denver & Rio Grande railway. He had been a citizen of Colorado for about three years, and was one of the truest, best and most useful citizens of the territory. His home for some time past, has been at Colorado Springs, and his family thus suddenly and sadly bereaved, were there when the mournful news of his death was flashed over the telegraphic wires. We have no data at hand from which we can compile even an imperfect history of the past life of this distinguished citizen, and only know that he was at one time, chief clerk of the treasury department, when Chase was secretary of the treasury, that he held a most important position in the treasury department with headquarters at Cincinnati, during the latter part of the war, and that at one time, he was connected with the great banking house of Luftlin & Co. While in Colorado, he has been connected with the Denver & Rio Grande railway, the Central Colorado Improvement Company and other business ventures which looked to the development of the resources of Colorado. In this sudden taking away, Colorado loses one of her best friends, and the announcement of the death of William P. Mellen, brings honest sorrow to the hearts of thousands.

In 1871 he built the first cabin at Querida, and was prominent in the history of that place. He was one of the most picturesque characters in the early days in the mining excitement in Colorado and was a man of the utmost honor and integrity. He was a member of Company R. First Colorado volunteers during the Civil war and figured prominently as a government scout during the Indian troubles after the Civil war. He was mustered out of the military when the Indian troubles ceased, and from that time to his death, he devoted himself to mining enterprises. He leaves a wife and two sons, one of whom A. W.

He took part in the Sand Creek Massacre. He was mustered out of service when the Indian troubles ceased.

He was interested in the advancement of his town and country and was a loyal patriotic citizen. In his youth, he identified himself with the Episcopal Church and he never lost his faith. The funeral largely attended was held from the home in Querida on Monday, conducted by the Rev. S. H. Speary, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Rosita Cemetery.

D. 1876, the following resolutions with reference to the death of the Reverend Father Louis Merles, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Since olden times it has been the custom to memorize a worthy citizen so that he may not easily be forgotten by his friends and fellow citizens, and, as it has pleased divine providence to call from our midst the Reverend Father Louis Merles, we humbly pray that the soul of our dear friend and faithful pastor may find rest in the celestial mansion above, and that our Creator may receive the prayers we offer for the soul of our friend.  Further Resolved, That all participants in this meeting, in token of sorrow of the demise of our beloved pastor, wear mourning for the space of thirty days.  Further Resolved, That his exemplary and virtuous life as also his sacerdotal duties and the good customs he has introduced among us, may serve to immortalize his pious works.  Resolved, That the members of his church be requested to contribute to have a mass said for the repose of his soul, and that a committee of five be appointed for that purpose, and give notice when said contribution is collected.

Merritt, Ella
Ella Merritt – Colorado Daily Chieftain – October 15, 1872 – Obituary – The funeral of Ella Merritt, adopted daughter of Rev. J. H. and F. H. Merritt, of this place took place from the Methodist church, on Sunday, October 6th, 1872 at 4 o'clock. A large audience of friends and sympathizers were present to pay their last respects to the dead and weep with the afflicted. The services were conducted by Rev. F. A. Millington, of Colorado Springs. The youthful subject of this notice was nine years old. She was snatched away by the hand of the destroyer just as the opening bud of promise was beginning to develop into maturity. A subject of Christian training, she early developed the purer graces, and gave unmistakable evidence of the beginning of holy life. Young as she was her maturing judgment was coming to be respected in the home circle, and her quiet, loving ways were fast winning friends in the community. The Sabbath school and other services of the church were objects of her special delight, and her place there was seldom vacant. The members of the school and especially those of her own class, had learned to appreciate and love her, and they sadly miss her from their numbers. Her disease was typhoid pneumonia, and from the first it seemed entirely to baffle the skill of the physician. Death had closely marked her for its victim, and her parents and friends could only "Bow beneath the chastening rod, And in the hour of grief and pain, Lean upon their God". She has passed from the cares, the toils, the pains of life thus early to take her place among the glorified ones. May it be the lot of her parents, friends and little class-mates to meet her there.

Mesmer, Female
Female Mesmer – Colorado Daily Chieftain – April 6, 1875 – A correspondent of the Tribune, writing form Castle Rock, says: A very sad occurrence, took place in Lake Gulch yesterday. Not long ago, Mr. Andrew Mesmer, a well known citizen of this county, moved from his ranch to another claim, and now lives in a log cabin with his family. Yesterday he was occupied digging post holes, his wife helping him. About noon she went to the cabin, prepared dinner, and then returned to her husband to tell him that the meal was ready. She stopped till he finished the hole he was digging and they then went towards the house together. When nearly home what was their horror and dismay to meet one little girl leading the other enwrapped in flames. The little girl, who would have been three years old tomorrow had she lived, must have been playing near the stove and her dress caught fire. The sister, who was only about a year older, had not the sense to put out the flames, but was leading her to her parents. The wind caused the dress to burn so fiercely that the poor little child's body and legs were burnt so badly that she died in about an hour. The parents have the sympathy of this whole community.

Mestas, Corina Marie
Corina Marie (Sanchez) Mestas - Pueblo Chieftain - May 05, 2004 - Corina Marie (Sanchez) Mestas, 81, formerly of Pueblo, Colo., died Sunday May 2, 2004, at her home in LaSalle, Colo. She was born on Nov. 17, 1922, in Troy, Colo., to Phillip and Eloisa (Trujillo) Sanchez. Raised with five siblings, Corina discovered life in the arid bluff lands of Southern Colorado. With love born true to the big band, war-time period, Corina married Danny Mestas, a soldier from Hoehne, Colo., on Sept. 10, 1949, in Trinidad, Colo. They later moved to Pueblo where they had four sons. Her husband, Danny, died in 1998. Corina was a devoted homemaker, mother and community worker. She was employed 19 years as a teacher's aide for Pueblo School District 60, retiring from Bessemer Elementary School in the early '90s. She was the chairwoman of the GI Forum women's auxiliary, den mother of Cub Scout Pack 41C, and was involved in numerous activities as a member of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church and school. Corina enjoyed life to the fullest extent appreciating the outdoors, people and learning about and seeing new things. She could see beauty "everywhere and in everything." From a raindrop, to a rock, or a rainbow, beauty was pertinent in simplicity and she passed that value onto all who surrounded her. She would always say, "I love clouds and birds," and she could often be found sitting outside enjoying these favorites along with her signature cup of milky coffee, reading, writing in her journal or eating a piece of her favorite fruit. With the best interests of her family in mind, Corina always believed in the importance of education. She felt that everyone should be aware of the world around them and posses the skills and knowledge to live effectively and fruitfully in it. Learning something everyday was a lifetime endeavor for her, and a legacy passed on to all those around her. Her greatest joy was in caring and being there for others, her husband, family and friends. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was at her happiest opening her home, her arms and her heart to everyone and never considered anyone a stranger. She is survived by sons, Orlando (Gloria) Mestas of LaSalle, Dan (Leona) Mestas of Longmont, and Michael A. Mestas of Frisco, Colo. She also is survived by brothers and sisters, Lionel (Carolyn) Sanchez of Denver, Alonso (Julia) Sanchez of Trinidad, Martha Rodriguez of Denver, and Geneva Zamora of Sparta, Tenn.

Meyers, Frank
Frank Meyers – Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – March 2, 1914 – Heroin and Whiskey Killed Frank Meyers – Frank Meyers, a cripple who has been in the city for several weeks, dropped dead in State street shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning, supposedly as the result of an overdose of a drug. Meyers fells to the sidewalk a few seconds before Jack Riley passed along the street. Riley picked him up and assisted him to a doorway of Jackson's rooming house where Meyers sat down while Riley telephoned for a doctor. Before the doctor and the police arrived, Meyers had died. Policeman Bergman telephoned to Coroner O'Malia, Deputy Walsh taking charge of the body a few minutes later. Meyers, who was a man between 40 and 50 years of age, had been in the city for several weeks, appearing in police court once in that time on a charge of vagrancy of which he was found guilty. At that time he gave his name as Frank Meyers. His right leg at some time had been amputated below the knee, and he walked by means of an artificial leg and a cane. No means of identification were found on his person. A bottle of "white line," a razor and a shaving brush were the only objects in his pockets. Police and sheriff's men found yesterday that Meyers had secured a large dose of heroin, a drug, during the night, and said that they learned he had taken it, drinking whiskey afterwards. The after affect is thought to have caused his death. Meyers is thought to have come here from Pueblo, where his mother is supposed to live.

He was born in Ideal Coal Camp on March 10, 1913, the ninth of 11 children to Valentine and Josephine Micek who had immigrated from Czechoslovakia. In 1938, Albert met and married Johanna Fink. He was a talented mechanic and meticulous carpenter, but his greatest love was working cattle. When he was up on a horse, he seemed to own the world. Over the next 50 years, Albert and Johanna raised anything and everything: turkeys, goats, chickens, cattle, hay, oats, to transform the four room rock house into a home and thriving cattle ranching operation and to raise the only crop that ever paid off: kids. Albert adored his children. One of the most devastating tragedies of his life was the untimely death of his dear son, Lonnie, in a 1962 construction accident. In 1970, at age 77, Albert decided to fold up the cattle business. In his later years, Albert took up his longtime hobbies, pool and music. Albert was a gentle father, a playful grandfather, a generous friend, a honest and wise businessman, and a faithful member of St. Mary Catholic Church, where he served as a Eucharistic Minister. He is survived by his wife, Johanna- four children, Alberta (Dallas) Priest, Leonard (Laura) Micek, Regina (Daniel) Gleason, and Mary Jo (David) Tesitor- 14 grandchildren- six great-grandchildren- his two surviving sisters, Bessie Eccher and Agnes Zubal- and numerous nieces and nephews.

Miller, J. C.
John Clayton Miller - Pueblo Chieftain - August 8, 1915 - Prominent Druggist Dies While Working in Store; Successful Businessman J. C. Miller Stricken with Heart Failure and Succumbs Despite Heroic Efforts Made to Revive Him - Lived Here 15 Years - Stricken with heart failure while at work in his drug store in the Central block yesterday, John Clayton Miller, 46 years old, expired almost instantly yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, despite the heroic measure resorted to in the effort to revive the flickering spark of life. The funeral will be held at 12:15 p.m. today at the McCarthy chapel. Rev. F. A. Hatch, officiating. Miss Charlotte Betts will sing. The Knight Templars will escort the body to the depot where a Masonic service will be held and the body will be forwarded to Louisville, Ky., at 2:15 o'clock. Mr. Miller was one of the city's most prominent druggists. He has been engaged in the business here for fifteen years with considerable success. Since his arrival here with his brother-in-law, H. E. Bennett, he has been in business in the Central block stand. They purchased the store from Dr. Harvey. About two years ago Mr. Bennett sold his interest and the Miller-Jones Drug company was organized. This company at the time of its dissolution a short time ago owned three of the city's best drug stores, the Central block store, the Thatcher block store and the Depot Drug store. Under the dissolution agreement, Mr. Miller remained proprietor of the Central block store and soon thereafter he took in with him as a partner, Judson Hohl. Mr. Miller left his home, 2117 Grand avenue, yesterday morning feeling in normal health. He has been suffering from heart trouble for some time but previous attacks had not been considered serious by him. While in the act of compounding a prescription he was seized with the attack and staggering fell to the floor. Dr. Luke McLean had just entered the store and hurried to the druggist's assistance. Dr. H. B. Killough also was summoned. Immediately a pulmotor which is kept in the store for emergency cases was applied to the stricken man. However, his heart was so weak that it did not respond either to the pulmotor or restoratives which were administered by the physicians and in a few moments he was declared dead. The physicians pronounced the cause as leakage of the heart, a form of apoplexy or blood clot of the heart. Mr. Miller is survived by his wife and a 3-year-old adopted child whom Mr. and Mrs. Miller brought with them from Paducah, Ky., a year ago. He also leaves a brother, F. D. Miller of Hazel, Ky.

Miller, a twenty-three-year-old "mulatto," had served as a soldier with the United States Colored Troops for the previous five years. He entered a dance hall which was reserved for whites that night, and an inebriated white customer forced him at gunpoint to leave. Another white customer, John Sutherland, told the thug to leave Miller alone. Miller and a friend, Benjamin Smith, later returned and randomly shot into the bar, missing the thug but killing Sutherland. Both men received death sentences; the governor commuted Smith's sentence. At the hanging, which the governor delayed two weeks so Miller could join a church and be married, the trapdoor would not open at first, and when it did, it fell to the ground. Miller dropped through the opening in the platform, but the rope was too long and his feet came to rest on the trap door that had fallen below him. The trap door was quickly removed so Miller could swing unimpeded. He hung for twenty-five minutes before expiring. Later, the sheriff, distraught over the bungled hanging, resigned his position and left the community.

James Miller - Walsenburg World - November 21, 1901 - Bad Accident - A serious accident occurred at Bowen last evening that resulted in the death of a colored man named Harper and the probable fatal injury of an old gentleman named James Miller, a miner. The accident occurred on the 1,800 foot tramway. Miller was walking down the tram and was near the bottom when he was struck by a car that had gotten away from its moorings above. Harper _______ when it struck the bottom. Mr. Miller is at the hospital suffering from injuries which it is thought will prove fatal. His right leg was cut off, his left arm broken and skull fractured. He is 56 years of age and was living with a son at Bowen. His wife is in Illinois. We could learn nothing about Harper except that he was employed at the mine. The accident was caused by the breaking of a rope which held the cars before they were started down the tramway, which is very steep, a 56 percent grade. The coroner will investigate who was responsible. Trinidad Advertiser.

Miller, John
John Miller - Wray Rattler - January 22, 1914 - Found With Skull Crushed - John Miller, 55, as Pueblo Farmer, was Victim of an Assassin - Killed with a Hammer - Murderer Did Not Take His Money; Corpse Found by Visitor - Pueblo – With his skull fractured, the body of John Miller, 55 years old, a farmer, living 15 miles west of Pueblo, was found in his home by a neighbor, Joseph Davis, The wound on the back of the man's head causes the sheriff to believe that the man was murdered, and he is conducting an exhaustive investigation. Among Miller's effects, in his home, where he lived alone, were found an uncashed check for $175.00 derived from the sale of a consignment of sugar beets, and some money, indicating that the motive that prompted his killing was not that of robbery. Bloodstains in the house indicated that Miller was struck, possible with a hammer, while standing near the door. He had endeavored to crawl across the room to a bed but had become unconscious before he reached it and died on the floor a few feet away. Davis went to see Miller on business, and entering the house, found his friend lying upon the floor, dead.The coroner has taken charge of the body. Miller had no relatives living in this part of the country but leaves a brother residing in Illinois. Pueblo Indicator – January 24, 1914 – Man Murdered at Vineland – John Miller, a farmer living near Vineland, was found murdered in his house last Tuesday morning. He had but recently received payment for his sugar beet crop and the theory was advanced that he was killed for his money, but such was not the case, as a check for $170 was found in his pocket. Investigation by the sheriff's office thus far fails to uncover any clue leading to the identity of the perpetrators of the horrible deed, and Coroner Patterson summoned a jury to sit on the case. A bloody club was found in the house, showing that it was murder and not suicide that caused the victim's death.

Miller, Joseph
Joseph Miller - Akron Weekly Pioneer Press – October 14, 1892 – A Wreck on the Santa Fe Road.  Three Train Men Killed.  On the Track Caused a Catastrophe Near Eden.  The Santa Fe local freight train No. 46, engine No. 443, running between Pueblo and Colorado Springs, was wrecked near Eden at 12:20 o'clock Sunday morning.  Three men were killed, or are supposed to be dead, as their bodies are under the wreckage.  They are the engineer, fireman and the head brakeman.  Eight cars and the engine are piled in one mass at the side of the track, and coal and freight of every description are scattered broadcast.  The men killed are Joseph Miller, engineer; C. C. McCune, fireman, and Archie Buchanan, head brakeman.  The wreck was first discovered by the trainmen of the Rio Grande passenger train which passes this place at 12:15.  The two roads at this point run almost parallel with each other.  The wreck was immediately reported to Colorado Springs and the superintendent and dispatcher at Pueblo proceeded to the scene.  The conductor and the brakeman who was unhurt went, one in each direction, to flag approaching trains, and their comrades were left in the ruins that others might be protected.  It was found that the wreck was caused by the engine striking a cow.  The wrecking of the engine, tender and cars was complete and the track was torn up.  The three men were evidently killed instantly, and their bodies were badly crushed.

Miller, Paul
Paul Miller - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - November 3, 1961 - Four Die in Plane Crash Near Pueblo - Flying into a blinding snowstorm, four men crashed to their deaths in a light plane Thursday 17 miles southeast of Pueblo. The fast-moving storm cleared within a few hours to reveal the wreckage on the Butler Ranch. Another airman, Glenn L. Nash, spotted the shattered remains on a flight from Pueblo to Raton, N.M. Those killed were Carlyle C. Madson, 50, the pilot, and Henry J. Pannell, Jr., 30 both of San Diego, Calif.; Paul Miller, 38 (?), La Mesa, Calif., and Vernon L. Parrish, 32, Denver. Parrish headed an electronics firm with offices in Denver, Albuquerque and Salt Lake City. The others all were employes of a San Diego firm. First on the scene, according to Maj. Lawrence H. Reibscheid, information officer of Group III, Civil Air Patrol, were three CAP officers and two deputy sheriffs of Pueblo County. They arrived on the scene at about 4:30 p.m. The searchers were Lt. Col. W. A. Coe of Black Forest, deputy communications officer of the Colorado Wing CAP; 1st Lt. Joseph Girodano and 1st Lt. Elvina Smith of the Pueblo County (?) CAP, and deputy sheriffs Theodore Nickolett and M. C. Forester. The search was directed by Lt. Col. Herbert E. Hammond of Colorado Springs, commanding officer of Group III. Operations officer was Maj. Earl Cole of Manitou Springs, also of Group III. The wreckage was scattered over a quarter mile area of the flat prairie land north of the Huerfano River, Hammond said. The largest piece of wreckage could be put in the back of a pickup truck. One body was in the nose wreckage. Two others were 80 feet ahead of where the plane struck the ground. The fourth body was at the point of impact. Controllers at the Pueblo airport said the plane, bound from Denver to Albuquerque, N.M., radioed at 10:43 a.m. that it was returning to Pueblo after running into the blizzard. Efforts to communicate with the plane failed. Workmen on the Butler Ranch said they heard the roar of a plane, apparently at full throttle, about 10:45 a.m. but heard no crash. The plane did not burn. It dug a furrow about 8 inches deep before disintegrating. Sheriff officers said it appeared the plane struck in a pancake fashion. Reibscheid said that since Feb. 4 of this year, the CAP has participated in more than 25 search and rescue missions of this type.

Mindt, Wanda Goodwin
Wanda Goodwin Mindt - McCook Daily Gazette - May 13, 2006 - McCook, NE - Wanda Goodwin Mindt, 81, died Tuesday (May 9, 2006) at St. Francis Medical Center in Grand Island. Wanda was born in McCloud, Okla. on Dec. 26, 1924. She never forgave her mother's doctor for administering medications that would delay her labor until after Christmas. A birthday shared with the Christ child would be a memorable one, of this she was certain. As a child, she attended many different elementary schools, but completed her senior high education in Canyon, Texas at the age of 16. Nobody is entirely certain of the number of schools she attended through the elementary years, but the number is guesstimated to be upwards of 18. Her higher education began in Trinidad, Colo., at Trinidad Junior College. She was initiated into the Phi Theta Kappa Honorary Fraternity in May of 1942, with an initiation and membership fee of $2.25. Wanda received her Associates Degree in June of 1943 -- with honors, of course. Over the course of the years she was also honored with lifetime memberships in these educational fraternities: Phi Theta Kappa, Delta Kappa Gamma, and Phi Delta Kappa Honors Fraternities. "Just give me the keys," and they did. She then attended Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa with her course study being aeronautical engineering. Her title was Curtiss-Wright Engineering Cadette. At this time the cadettes were manufacturing attack bombers for the Army. Upon completion of the coursework, Wanda then moved to Buffalo, N.Y., where she continued as a "draftsperson" designing war planes used during World War II. One of her projects included the famous "camelback" used during the Berlin Airlift. At the end of the war, as the men came home from the European theater, she refused the job offered her with Curtiss-Wright because it was in a lesser skilled capacity than what she had provided for the aeronautical mogul during the war effort. During World War I she played on a minor league women's softball team. Wanda was a leftie and had a propensity for line drives up the third baseline. Her other hobbies included tennis, as well as posing with her tennis racquet and flirting. Wanda headed back to Colorado, to the University of Denver where she completed her undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Arts in June 1946. Upon completion of her bachelor's degree, she attended Iliff School of Theology, where she met her future husband, the Rev. Erwin E. Mindt. They were married in December 1946 after Erwin's successful completion of his degree in divinity. For the first two years of their marriage, they served at Bethany Methodist Church in Denver. It was a German Church and the sermons were delivered in German, so Wanda never quite knew what Erwin was preaching. They then had the churches in Elm Creek, Williamsburg, and Elizabeth Valley in Nebraska from 1949-1951. St. Paul and Fairdale was their next assignment from 1951- 1953. Elwood, Gosper and Smithfield for three years from 1953 to 1956. Clatonia and Wilber combined parish from 1956-1963. Friend and Dorchester combined parish from 1963 to 1965. In Doniphan, the combined parish was Methodist and Evangelical United Brethren from 1965-1966. While Erwin was on sabbatical from the church, the family relocated to Ogallala where Wanda served as the director of religious education for the United Methodist Church from 1965- 1969. In June of 1969, the family moved to Benkelman, where Erwin died in March 0f 1970. and Wanda remained until leaving her home of 25 years. From the time of his death until the new minister came in June, Wanda served as pastor of the churches in Max and Benkelman while teaching full-time for the Benkelman schools. During her husband's tenure as minister of the various churches he served in, Wanda acted as youth leader, member and leader of the Methodist Circles of Women, taught church school, and served in any other capacity required of a minister's wife at the time. She acted as a laboratory instructor in youth work for the Conference in Nebraska, as well as in Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa and Arkansas. Wanda taught Christian workers schools and literature previews. In addition, she taught at the Youth Missions School for WSCS at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln and was director of the Youth Mission Tour to the northeast and southeast. She was a counselor at youth camps from 1949 to 1969, including the first camp at Camp Comeca near Cozad in 1950. Her firstborn, Ronald, was the "camp baby." Wanda worked in Vacation Church School Institutes in Nebraska for the Nebraska Council of Churches, as well as serving on many committees of Interchurch Ministries of Nebraska. In addition, she served on local, regional, and state mental health committees for more than a decade beginning in the '80s. Instrumental as an advocate for mental health, she also pioneered the now existing Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Task Forces present in the State of Nebraska, as well as serving as director of the task force for many years in Benkelman. After earning her educational doctorate in administration, curriculum and instruction in 1985 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, she retired from teaching in 1987. She was awarded the "Award of Excellence in Classroom Teaching" by the Nebraska State Board of Education on Dec. 12, 1986 and received "Teacher of the Year" for 1986-87 by the Dundy County Education Association. During the last years of her tenure in Benkelman, she served as pastor of the American Baptist Church for three years and for nearly five years at the Presbyterian Church, also in Benkelman. Wanda was always happiest in the capacity of service. She also worked in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on the local presbytery, synod and national level for 14 years including serving on the Churchwide Coordinating Team for Presbyterian Women. On Dec. 4, 1990, she became the first person in the State of Nebraska to complete lay pastor training for the Presbyterian Church under its new guidelines for lay persons. Overachieving still. After moving to North Platte in 1994, she served in various capacities in many churches in Western Nebraska, including Sutherland, Paxton, Grant, Keystone and Lemoyne. She was always happy to deliver a sermon -- ask any of her kids. In addition to the aforementioned, she was inducted into the Official Navy of the State of Nebraska in April 1981 by Gov. Charles Thone. She was active in the Upper Room Walk to Emmaus and shared this experience with her granddaughter, Jennifer. As an educator she was a lifetime member of the National Education Association, as well as the Nebraska State Education Association. Wanda served in an advisory capacity to the Nebraska Commission on the Status of Women for many years. Wanda Goodwin Mindt was preceded in death by her husband, the Rev. Erwin E. Mindt; her parents, Herbert L. and Pearl Goodwin; and brother Jack Goodwin. She is survived in death by her son, Ronald E.

He retired from the Colorado Department of Transportation in 2000 after 32 years of service. Shortly after, he returned to work with Heath Andreatta Excavation, where he worked until recently. Jim was one of a kind, easy-going, good-humored, hard-working, stubborn, big-hearted, always willing to help at a moment's notice. He loved his family, being in the mountains, animals, couldn't do without his coffee and cigarettes and his Diet Coke, and he savored his "coconut cream pie." In general, he loved food. He had a thing for his electronic games, crossword puzzles, scratch tickets and his "oldies music." I (Marti) always told him he was like an old LP record, stuck in the '60s. He pushed my buttons and drove me to distraction, but we all loved him. He loved his job, working with his son and all the crew. He touched the lives and hearts of many people and seldom met a stranger. He has left a huge void in all of our lives and a bigger hole in our hearts. To his "special family," Heath and Michelle and children, he loved you all dearly! Thank you for being a part of our life. To the crew and all those whom he worked with, he enjoyed every moment he spent on the job with you. I may have had an absent husband at times, but he was happy! Much better than having a miserable couch potato. He will be sorely missed by his two furry girls, Sheba and Miss Kitty. I'm running late "again" as usual, Honey I love you! See you in Rio, Baby! Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Mary Corwin Hospital's cardiac wing, or to the Intensive Care Unit, or to your favorite charity, if you so desire. Thank you.

He was far advanced in the Masonic order, having attained the 32nd degree; also a consistent member of the Knights of Pythias, and always manifested a high regard for the tenets and teachings of both Societies. His remains are to be taken to Chicago today, where under the auspices of his home lodge they will be forwarded to relatives in Minnesota.

Monberg, Helene
Helene Monberg - Pueblo Chieftain - October 11, 2003 - Helene Monberg, 84, longtime Washington, D.C., correspondent for The Pueblo Chieftain. Graveside service, 11 a.m. today at Evergreen Cemetery in Leadville. Complete notice online, www.montgomerysteward.com. Helene C. Monberg, a Leadville native from an old Leadville family and a retired newswoman living in Washington, DC, died on Tuesday, October 7, 2003. She was 84. Survived by her sister, Rae M. Dabbert, Missoula, Montana; niece, Diane Webster, Taos, New Mexico; nephew, Larry Dabbert, Tacoma, Washington; grand-niece, Jessica Hately, Taos, New Mexico; and by the six sons and one daughter of her ''Washington Family'', the late Edward A. J. Chicca and the late Mary M. Chicca, who originally lived in Washington, DC, and later moved to Maryland. Ms. Monberg was born in Leadville on October 19, 1918, the first of two daughters born to Luther Monberg, an insurance man, and Helene Denzler Monberg, a former teacher. Her grandfather, Soren C. ''S.C.'' Monberg came to Leadville from Denmark in 1887 to make a fortune in mining, a goal that eluded him. In 1890, S.C. brought his family, his wife Anna and their four Danish-born children to Leadville, including Luther, then five. Later three more children were born to the couple in Leadville. Their family grew up in Leadville, as did Luther's two daughters. Ms. Monberg retained a lifelong interest in her hometown. Ms. Monberg graduated in 1936 from Leadville High School, where she won a four-year scholarship to the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, where she graduated in 1940. She received a law degree from American University in Washington, DC, in 1948, but decided to stay in the news business. She started her news work in 1936 at the weekly Leadville Record, and she remained in the news business until June, 1949, when she was forced to retire because of disability. Between 1936 and 1940 she worked in the summers for the Leadville Record and for the Leadville Historical Society writing profiles of Leadville old-timers. After Ms. Monberg graduated from CU in 1940, she worked for the Salida Record and for the Raton, NM Daily Range. In March of 1941, she accepted a job to become the first woman on the editorial staff of Pathfinder Magazine in Washington, DC. After working for Pathfinder for a year and briefly for the War Department, she accepted a job from United Press (UP) to become one of the first women reporters in it's Washington Bureau. She worked for UP from 1942-1947 and for Congressional Quarterly from 1949-1964. Later she marveled, ''Just six years after I left Leadville in 1936 to go to CU, and just two years after graduating from CU, I was covering Eleanor Roosevelt's press conferences at the White House for UP, a wire service.'' She was ready but World War II launched her on her news career. In the fall of 1947, Ms. Monberg launched her own news bureau in Washington, on of a handful of women reporters to do so. It specialized in political and natural resources coverage in the west, especially Colorado. She operated her news bureau from 1947-1983. It was anchored by The Pueblo Chieftain and Star Journal. She served numerous newspapers in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona. She started her own natural resources newsletter in 1965; it was an outgrowth of her news bureau and was published until her retirement in June 1994. Her work as a volunteer started in the 1960's, when Ms. Monberg teamed up with Ethel Payne of the Chicago Defender to provide starter college scholarships to poor disadvantaged youths in the Washington, DC area. That program lasted for three years from 1968-1970. In 1971, at the request of the DC Department of Corrections, Ms. Monberg undertook the major scholarship program of her life: The Achievement Scholarship Program (ASP). From 1973-1989 ASP provided starter scholarships for college and trade schools for DC area youths on parole and probation recommended by their parole/probation officers. Ms. Monberg received a Washington-of-the-Year award in 1981 because of her volunteer work with ASP. Ms Monberg also provided starter scholarships from 1993-1998 at three Colorado colleges: CU-Boulder, her alma mater; the University of Southern Colorado at Pueblo (USC, now CSU-Pueblo); and Colorado State University (CSU) at Fort Collins. In 1998, on the eve of her 80th birthday she announced she was bequeathing $1,000,000. at her death to the Lake County School District in her hometown of Leadville, to three public colleges in Colorado, CU; CSU; and CSU-Pueblo, and to the Rawlings Foundation in Pueblo to thank her hometown county and state for educating her. The Lake County bequest is for school repairs; the others are for youth programs. Ms. Monberg majored in journalism at CU because she became a big baseball fan in the 30's as a teenager, and she wanted to become a sports writer to cover her beloved St. Louis Cardinals, the ''Gas House Gang'' of that era. She did not become a sports writer, but she retained her life-long love of and interest in baseball. Ms. Monberg never married. Ms. Monberg summed up her life near the end: "I spend 58 wonderful years in the news business in the pursuit of truth. I put up my own dough and raised money for starter scholarships for more than 360 youths, mainly in the D.C. area. And I gave my savings to Lake County School District toward the repair of it's schools, and to three Colorado colleges (CU-Denver, CSU and CSU-Pueblo) and the Rawlings Foundation of Pueblo to spot poor kids in public urban high schools in the Denver/Pueblo areas before they drop out to try to get enough basic written and spoken English and math into their heads so that they might be able to navigate in today's and tomorrow's world. It has been fascinating." According to Helen's wishes, the funeral will be a simple graveside service at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 11, 2003, in the family Masonic plot at Evergreen Cemetery in Leadville.

Her 91 years touched countless lives in countless ways. She did more than nourish our bodies with her food and comfort our tears with her hugs. She instilled in us a legacy which endures long after the taste of her menudo fades and the warmth of her hug cools. Hers is a legacy of serving others which has fostered generations of people who help people. Her progeny boasts teachers, administrators, social workers, accountants, salespersons, mentors, laborers, and all other types of industry imaginable. But the common thread that binds those she has influenced is the idea that service to others is the greatest gift one can give back to God for all the blessings he so graciously bestows upon us. We love you Granny and our gift to you is the promise to care for each other the way you spent every minute of your life caring for us. Visitation, noon until 6 p.m. today, Angelus Chapel.

Montgomery, W. J.
W. J. Montgomery - Colorado Daily Chieftain - August 29, 1873 - A Mystery - Louis Rowe, a Frenchman engaged in building a road to Bismarck hill, Upper Ten Mile, some seventeen miles from Helena, discovered on Saturday last, between the two forks of Lump gulch, a number of bones which he thought belonged to a human anatomy. Searching further, he found other bones as also fragments of clothing of a dark color; remnant leaves of a diary of 1866-7, the date (in pencil) almost obliterated; an old, weather beaten envelope, on which the name "W. J. Montgomery" is still discernable; bits of greenback currency of the denomination of $5, etc. The skull and larger bones were missing, probably snatched up and carried off by wild beasts. On one of the diary leaves, a memoranda of a promissory note was distinguishable, minus the names; and on another leaf, under date of October 6, 1867, this: "Worked on house all day." The mysterious disappearance in 1869 or 1870, of "Montgomery the auctioneer," may be traced, perhaps, to these blanched bones and mouldy papers picked up in the mountains about Lump gulch. Here, as in California, Montgomery was famous in his day, in the auction business. In San Francisco at one time, he was prosperous, and rapidly acquired wealth. Montgomery Street in that city was named after him. With more coin than he knew what to do with, he invested the better part of his fortune in stock, which enabled him to leave California for Montana in light trim, financially. Here he had his ups and downs, until the date above set forth, when he suddenly disappeared, no one knew where. The diary and paper remnants to which we have referred, can be seen at Auerbach Bros., Mr. Hurst, at Ten Mile, having brought them to town yesterday. Who of our people can throw additional light upon this mystery? - Helena Herald

Montolla, Manuel
Manuel Montolla - Walsenburg World - March 9, 1899 - A mysterious murder is about to be unearthed. Las Wednesday while Pablo Maes was looking for some sheep that had wandered from his herd, he accidentally discovered the skeleton of a man that had been buried in the ground on Turkey Creek. He notified his neighbors who dug up the remains and to their surprise they found that the head had been severed from the body and the corpse buried in a sitting posture with the body so doubled up that the neck touched the knees. The murder is supposed to have been committed twelve or fifteen years ago, as a Mexican by the name of Manuel Montolla disappeared from his home on Turkey Creek about that time and has never been heard of since.

Montoya, Diane Mae
Diane Mae Montoya - Huerfano World - July 26, 1962 - Inquest Set For Tuesday In Train Death of Child - Funeral services were held yesterday for 10-year old Diane Mae Montoya but interest in the accident which took her life remained high in the community with the announcement that an inquest into the tragic death would be held here next Tuesday. County Corner Herbert Furphy set the inquest for 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse. Diane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Montoya, 315 W. Sixth Street was struck and killed by the southbound Colorado & Southern Texas Zephyr passenger train about 4:30 p.m. Sunday as she sought to cross the tracks between Sixth and Seventh streets. The child's body was dragged at distance of about 300 feet before the train was stopped. She was badly mangled, and one arm was severed. Members of the train's crew told local police they saw the girl come from behind a warehouse in that area and thought she was playing. They said she crossed the tracks directly into the path of the train, apparently unaware of its approach. Crewmen said the trains horn was blowing. The train's crew included Paul H.

Montoya, Jesus Christo
Jesus Christo Montoyo – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 29, 1877 – A True Fatalist – Pueblo County, Nov. 26. – In the early spring there came to our ranche two dusky herders seeking employment. One a tall, athletic, well formed Indian, with a good countenance and manly bearing, the other a young Mexican of ordinary type. I advised a neighbor who needed a pastor (herder?) to take the Indian, but he preferred the Mexican and finally, however, decided to engage them both and was soon convinced of his wisdom. In keeping the Indian, who proved invaluable, quick to perform his duty, ready to oblige and kindly in his intercourse with all who mingled with him – winning the friendship and esteem of the young gentlemen who frequented his employers' ranche, some of whom will long remember his pleasant – "Como se va Frank," "Como se va Charley." Like his race he was swift on foot and had made captive a young antelope, which was tamed by his hand, and a pet lamb found shelter by his side, thus the brute creation returned his gentle care. Towards winter he asked to go home for a few days, saying when urged to remain tenga gano en caso. At last Mr. B. said to him, "Don't go Gus, you might get the small pox and die." The reply was characteristic of the man – he said in his own language – "If it is the will of God, it will be well." He went home and on his return was stricken down by small pox at the house of Juan Issidro, on the Cucharas river, and died after a few day's illness. So died Jesus Christo Montoyo, 23 years of age. At this moment when the public mind is startled by foul assassinations of white men in lonely and unfrequented paths by these herders, this shining example of Christian integrity and true honor proves that all are not false and treacherous. – A. L. C.

Moore, Maude Wood Clapp
Maude (Wood) Clapp Moore – Yuma Pioneer – February 19, 1904 – Owned Guilt and Killed Herself – Pueblo, Colo., Feb. 14 – Maude Moore, alias Maude Wood, who yesterday gave testimony in the District Court which cleared Horace Crumley and Ira Williamson of robbery by taking the blame upon herself, took morphine in the county jail last night and died in the Pueblo hospital this morning at 10 o'clock. She came to Pueblo several weeks ago from Denver, where her parents live. Maude Moore was once the wife of William Clapp, whose father is a fireman at the hose station at Twenty-second and Curtis streets. She carried a letter in her bosom in which the names of D. J. Sullivan and Mrs. Rosseter were used, the letter having come from an address in the 1300 block on Twenty-third street, Denver. The Moore woman was arrested about three weeks ago, together with Crumley and Williamson, on a charge of robbing M. Parara, a Mexican, of $80. The trial of the two men was held yesterday and the Moore woman, before leaving the jail, confided to a cellmate that by her testimony she would take all the blame, and would then kill herself, if she had no other means of doing it, by thrusting a hatpin through her brain. She was twenty-four years of age and of pleasing appearance. Denver, Feb. 15 – Within a week William Clapp of 456 South Grant avenue has lost both his wife, from whom he had separated, and his mother, wife of Fireman Anson Clapp. William Clapp married Maude Wood in Denver less than two years ago, but it is understood that they did not live happily together and separated over a year ago. Since that time it appears that Mr. Clapp has kept little track of his wife's movements. William Clapp is a machinist. His mother died a week ago from the effects of a long illness. His father is very well known in Denver and has been on the fire department for ten years.

Moran, Billy
Billy Moran – Akron Weekly Pioneer Press – February 23, 1906 – Deadly Mine Explosion – Denver. – A Walsenburg dispatch says: As a result of a gas explosion at 10 o'clock Monday morning in the Sunshine mine of the Victor Fuel Company at Maitland, a large camp four miles from this city, fourteen men were killed. Their bodies have been recovered, being found badly burned. It is supposed that a small pocket of gas was struck which was ignited from the lamp of a miner. There were nearly 200 men at work in the adjoining mine and had the explosion been caused from dust, in all probability all would have been killed. Following is a list of the dead so far as known: Archie Miller, fire boss; Battista Eobera; Billy Moran of Maitland; James W. Titters of Kansas; Corona Costa, Sopris, Colorado; Nick Yockibetz; and Joe Costa, Maitland.

Moran, James
James Moran - Independent – June 23, 1925 - Gordon Explosion Is Blamed On Coal Company By Coroner's Jury; Funerals Held For Victims Here – Inquest Over Bodies of Moyer, Moran and Stamberger Lasts for Three Hours Yesterday – Blame for the Gordon mine explosion last Friday was placed on the company by a coroner's jury that listened to testimony at the court house for three hours yesterday afternoon. The accident, which rocked the face of new workings in the Gordon mine, occurred at a depth of about 6,000 feet. Coroner Gabe Furphy presided at the inquest. State mine inspector James Dalrymple, State deputy Sam Andrews, and Deputy District Attorney Henry Blickhahn conducted the investigation. The verdict of the jury was as follows: "That owing to inadequate equipment, an insufficient current of air was entering into the entry and cross cut of said mine, and that the state mine inspector had repeatedly warned and made recommendations to said mining company to make certain improvements which would overcome above mentioned dangers, we find that all fault was thru the carelessness of said coal company, Gordon Coal company at Gordon, county of Huerfano and state of Colorado on June 19, 1925, at or about 6 p.m." The jury that gave the verdict was composed of N. Lucien Krier, R.E. Shaw, Max Townley, Epifanio Martinez, Garfield Miller, Mat Cordova. Dr. G.M. Noonan was first called to the stand. He testified that the bodies of Moyer and Stamberger were badly burned and that death was instantaneous. Moran lived for perhaps five or ten minutes. George Gregory, mine foreman, was next called on the stand and gave an account of the possibilities of accumulation of gas in the place where the men met their deaths. Leon Poli, who was also in the mine at the time of the explosion but sufficiently near the top to be out of danger, told of helping to fix one of the machines a few minutes before the explosion. H.E. Ralya, who was with Moran at the time of the explosion, told the jury of his experience during and after the explosion. Superintendent Ralph Poli and Fireboss Fred Bellotti were next questioned. Superintendent Poli was questioned at length on the condition of the fan at the mine. He reported that the fan had not been shut down at all during the day. Mine inspector Dalrymple said he had obtained information from the power company that power was off three times during the day, the last time for seven minutes. However, it would be possible for the power to be off and the fan not stop entirely until the power was again restored, he declared. The explosion at the Gordon mine took place about 6 o'clock p.m. Friday night and resulted in the death of three men and the injury of two. The dead are: Harvey Moyer, 42, Walsenburg; James Moran, 42, Toltec; Jack Stamberger, 31, Gordon. The injured: H.E. Ralya, 29, Gordon and George Gregory, mine foreman, Gordon. News of the explosion first came to light when Ralya, who was working with Moran, notified Superintendent Poli at his residence that a blast had occurred at the face of the new workings. Ralya and Moran were finishing their day's labor when, according to Ralya, a blast threw him free first against the truck of his machine. Superintendent Poli quickly organized a rescue crew and started toward the scene of the disaster. The bodies of Stamberger and Moyer were found at 9:30 and the body of Moran was found at 11 o'clock. Moran's body was found 250 feet from his working place. It is believed by mine experts that Moran was not killed instantly, but wandered off in a semi-conscious condition in the dark and became a victim of the terrible after damp that follows gas explosions. What the cause of the explosion was will perhaps never be known. Deputy Mine Inspector Sam Andrews in a statement to the jury at the inquest yesterday said that the explosion might have occurred by a spark, caused by the machine cutting into rock, igniting a feeler of gas which in turn set off an accumulation of gas at the roof of the tunnel. All the mine victims were married and had children. Moyer was 42 years old and father of three children. He had been employed in the mines for 14 years. Jack Stamberger was 31 years old and has been married only a year and a half. He has worked in the mines for 12 years. James Moran was 42 years old. He had spent almost 30 years in coal mines. He was the father of two children. Moyer was buried Sunday at the Masonic cemetery. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church with Rev. G.S. Darley officiating. Funeral services for Stamberger were held today at Trinidad. Moran will be buried here tomorrow morning. Under normal conditions the mine employs as many as 70 men on day shifts and ordinarily 15 men on night shifts. Rails were to be laid in the new workings where the explosion took place the following day and for that reason the night shift did not go to work the night of the explosion. It was the first time in six months that a night shift did not work. The explosion was the first in which any lives were lost during the 25 years existence of the mine. It was the first time that a fatal casualty has been reported at the mine for five years. Superintendent Poli stated at the inquest that he has done everything in his power to make the mine as safe as possible for the miners. Ralya, whose escape from the explosion was miraculous, is married, is 29 years old, and the father of three children. He was standing only a few feet away from Moran at the time of the explosion and outside of a few bruises and shocks escaped injury. He tells the following story of the explosion: "My partner Moran and I were just leaving for home. I had stooped to pick up a tool when I was hurled against the machine truck simultaneously with hearing a heavy thud of a blast. Rocks began to cave in and were hurled thru the entry together with timber and lumps of coal. As soon as the avalanche of flying debris had passed, I yelled to my partner, but getting no response I immediately began to crawl on my hands and knees toward the outside. The entry was full of smoke. I was unable to see the light of the lamp which still clung to my belt. After crawling for about 600 feet I made my way thru a slant leading to another cross cut where I was able to see my way. After getting outside I immediately notified Superintendent Poli of the explosion."

Morris, Charles
Charles Morris – Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – August 2, 1872 – The past week has been one of bloodshed, outrage and murder at Cimarron. The ball first opened with an outbreak among the military, which resulted in a German soldier being pommeled within an inch of his life at the hands of three of his comrades. The excitement caused by this had hardly died away when Charles Morris, a well known resident of Cimarron, was shot dead by a man from Red River masquerading under the sobriquet of "Chuck". The murderer surrendered himself to the sheriff, and an examination was held before Justice Rhinehart, who acquitted the prisoner on the ground of justifiable homicide. During this trial the court, prisoner and all adjourned to take a drink. We agree with the Cimarron News that this "reads grotesque to those at a distance but is not so to those who dwell there".

Morrison, Mr.
Mr. Morrison - Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain - February 13, 1879 - Death On the Trail. To a person who has never crossed the snowy range in the winter time it is next to impossible to convey an idea of the perils encountered by those who have to traverse the narrow, steep and treacherous trails in some of the mountain passes. Snow slides are of frequent occurrence especially in the early winter before the snow which falls very rapidly has become packed. A very slight jar or agitation will sometimes start an avalanche of several acres. The last victim we have heard of was Mr. Joseph Sellars, the faithful carrier who carries the mail from Silverton to Barber's ranch. The trail crosses the range at Cunningham gulch, and it is a dangerous road even in the summer time. He was coming east a week ago last Thursday and at Deep creek, a locality about one mile beyond Grassy Hill station, he was caught in a slide and carried down into a deep ravine and buried several feet under the snow. Mr. W. D. Watson, the keeper of Grassy Hill station, and several others exerted themselves to recover the body but did not succeed till the Monday following in finding him. The above particulars are gleaned from the Del Norte Prospector, and yesterday we learned from C. L. Weinberg that two other citizens of Silverton perished at the same time. One of them is named Morrison and the other Fred Gardner, a young lawyer formerly of Pueblo, and well known to many of our citizens. The mail had not been recovered at last accounts.

Morrow, F.
Dr. F. Morrow – Aspen Weekly Chronicle – January 6, 1890 – Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 2. – The body of Dr. F. Morrow, of Arlington, Colorado, was found this morning in the Arkansas River, opposite the North Side smelter. Missouri Pacific switchmen have seen the body for several days past, but supposed it was a log. The head was frozen in a mass of ice. The feet were also frozen in ice, and it was with difficulty that the body could be got out. The man had not been robbed, as there was found on his person $21, and other papers. He was last seen alive at 5:30, Dec. 28, when he started to the depot to take the 6:30 train. He did not take the train, and no one knows where he went. A bruise over the right eye looked as if he had been struck with some blunt instrument, though if the man had fallen from one of the bridges upon slag at the edge of the river it might have made the same kind of wound. Morrow was about 52 years old, and leaves a wife, who is living here. Morrow was holding a land claim at Arlington, and was local physician of the Missouri Pacific railway at that point. He was in Pueblo on a spree last month. He had formerly lived at Canon City and other places in Colorado, having been in this part of the country nineteen years. Morrow was an old Grand Army man and organizer of the Union Veterans.

Moyer, Harvey
Harvey Moyer - Independent – June 23, 1925 - Gordon Explosion Is Blamed On Coal Company By Coroner's Jury; Funerals Held For Victims Here – Inquest Over Bodies of Moyer, Moran and Stamberger Lasts for Three Hours Yesterday – Blame for the Gordon mine explosion last Friday was placed on the company by a coroner's jury that listened to testimony at the court house for three hours yesterday afternoon. The accident, which rocked the face of new workings in the Gordon mine, occurred at a depth of about 6,000 feet. Coroner Gabe Furphy presided at the inquest. State mine inspector James Dalrymple, State deputy Sam Andrews, and Deputy District Attorney Henry Blickhahn conducted the investigation. The verdict of the jury was as follows: "That owing to inadequate equipment, an insufficient current of air was entering into the entry and cross cut of said mine, and that the state mine inspector had repeatedly warned and made recommendations to said mining company to make certain improvements which would overcome above mentioned dangers, we find that all fault was thru the carelessness of said coal company, Gordon Coal company at Gordon, county of Huerfano and state of Colorado on June 19, 1925, at or about 6 p.m." The jury that gave the verdict was composed of N. Lucien Krier, R.E. Shaw, Max Townley, Epifanio Martinez, Garfield Miller, Mat Cordova. Dr. G.M. Noonan was first called to the stand. He testified that the bodies of Moyer and Stamberger were badly burned and that death was instantaneous. Moran lived for perhaps five or ten minutes. George Gregory, mine foreman, was next called on the stand and gave an account of the possibilities of accumulation of gas in the place where the men met their deaths. Leon Poli, who was also in the mine at the time of the explosion but sufficiently near the top to be out of danger, told of helping to fix one of the machines a few minutes before the explosion. H.E. Ralya, who was with Moran at the time of the explosion, told the jury of his experience during and after the explosion. Superintendent Ralph Poli and Fireboss Fred Bellotti were next questioned. Superintendent Poli was questioned at length on the condition of the fan at the mine. He reported that the fan had not been shut down at all during the day. Mine inspector Dalrymple said he had obtained information from the power company that power was off three times during the day, the last time for seven minutes. However, it would be possible for the power to be off and the fan not stop entirely until the power was again restored, he declared. The explosion at the Gordon mine took place about 6 o'clock p.m. Friday night and resulted in the death of three men and the injury of two. The dead are: Harvey Moyer, 42, Walsenburg; James Moran, 42, Toltec; Jack Stamberger, 31, Gordon. The injured: H.E. Ralya, 29, Gordon and George Gregory, mine foreman, Gordon. News of the explosion first came to light when Ralya, who was working with Moran, notified Superintendent Poli at his residence that a blast had occurred at the face of the new workings. Ralya and Moran were finishing their day's labor when, according to Ralya, a blast threw him free first against the truck of his machine. Superintendent Poli quickly organized a rescue crew and started toward the scene of the disaster. The bodies of Stamberger and Moyer were found at 9:30 and the body of Moran was found at 11 o'clock. Moran's body was found 250 feet from his working place. It is believed by mine experts that Moran was not killed instantly, but wandered off in a semi-conscious condition in the dark and became a victim of the terrible after damp that follows gas explosions. What the cause of the explosion was will perhaps never be known. Deputy Mine Inspector Sam Andrews in a statement to the jury at the inquest yesterday said that the explosion might have occurred by a spark, caused by the machine cutting into rock, igniting a feeler of gas which in turn set off an accumulation of gas at the roof of the tunnel. All the mine victims were married and had children. Moyer was 42 years old and father of three children. He had been employed in the mines for 14 years. Jack Stamberger was 31 years old and has been married only a year and a half. He has worked in the mines for 12 years. James Moran was 42 years old. He had spent almost 30 years in coal mines. He was the father of two children. Moyer was buried Sunday at the Masonic cemetery. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church with Rev. G.S. Darley officiating. Funeral services for Stamberger were held today at Trinidad. Moran will be buried here tomorrow morning. Under normal conditions the mine employs as many as 70 men on day shifts and ordinarily 15 men on night shifts. Rails were to be laid in the new workings where the explosion took place the following day and for that reason the night shift did not go to work the night of the explosion. It was the first time in six months that a night shift did not work. The explosion was the first in which any lives were lost during the 25 years existence of the mine. It was the first time that a fatal casualty has been reported at the mine for five years. Superintendent Poli stated at the inquest that he has done everything in his power to make the mine as safe as possible for the miners. Ralya, whose escape from the explosion was miraculous, is married, is 29 years old, and the father of three children. He was standing only a few feet away from Moran at the time of the explosion and outside of a few bruises and shocks escaped injury. He tells the following story of the explosion: "My partner Moran and I were just leaving for home. I had stooped to pick up a tool when I was hurled against the machine truck simultaneously with hearing a heavy thud of a blast. Rocks began to cave in and were hurled thru the entry together with timber and lumps of coal. As soon as the avalanche of flying debris had passed, I yelled to my partner, but getting no response I immediately began to crawl on my hands and knees toward the outside. The entry was full of smoke. I was unable to see the light of the lamp which still clung to my belt. After crawling for about 600 feet I made my way thru a slant leading to another cross cut where I was able to see my way. After getting outside I immediately notified Superintendent Poli of the explosion."

Mudge, the distinguished scientist and paleontologist, died suddenly at his home, Manhattan, Kansas, on Friday, the 21st inst. His death cast a gloom of sadness over his many friends here in this city where he is well and favorably known. As a man of science he held a high rank, not only in the west, but throughout the entire country. For several years he had been making collections during the spring and summer months for Professor Marsh, of Yale college, at times shipping several tons of specimens to that institution. During his superintendence of collecting fossils, he made several discoveries hitherto unknown to scientists. Not only was he a devoted scholar and student of natural science, but he was a man of a wide range of information upon all current topics. Genial, gentlemanly, kind and generous, a universal favorite of those that knew him, his life work is closed, thus passing away, he leaves a name and reputation that many may imitate. The academy of science of this city will, doubtless, take suitable and appropriate notice of his death at the next regular meeting. – Kansas City Times. – Professor Mudge was very well known throughout all of the western states, but especially in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado, and his death is a great loss to the scientific world.
