She was born to Lucile Messinger Penn and William Penn, in Walsenburg, Colorado, where they lived on a farm homestead. When she was seven years old her father died and they moved into town. The family came to Bakersfield in 1928 where she attended local schools. Wilma married Byron Abbott in 1936. After living in Bakersfield for several years, they moved to Kings Beach, North Lake Tahoe in 1945, where Byron established a plumbing business and they raised their two daughters. Wilma returned to Bakersfield in 1968, and was one of the original employees in the accounting office at Cal State Bakersfield, retiring in 1984. Wilma was involved in several local organizations. She joined the Bakersfield Woman's Club in 1984, where she later served as president from 1993 to1994. She worked as a volunteer for the Cancer-Discovery Shop for 20 years, until her passing, and was a member of the Kern County Republican Women. Wilma was strong in her Christian faith, attending Daybreak Baptist Church, and enjoyed the ladies in her Sunday school class. She was preceded in death by her mother and father; her husband, Byron Abbott; her grandson, Scott Lemke; granddaughter, Joyce Boden; and her sister, Amy Engle. Wilma is survived by her daughter, Jacquie Sullivan, Bakersfield, and her children, Richard Boden, Julie Boden and Linda Ford; her daughter, Diana Paskett, Idaho Falls, and her children, Mark Hansen, Tracy Lemke, Michael Hansen and David Hansen; her 12 great-grandchildren; and her 3 great-great- grandchildren. She was lovingly referred to as "Grammy." She is also survived by her brother, Lynn Kemper; and sister, Sue Coats. Wilma was very interested in local politics, and she was Jacquie's strongest supporter during each of her city council campaigns, and she seldom missed a city council meeting. She also helped Jacquie by keeping her books for her rental business, up until a few days before she passed away. Her daughter, Diana, lived out of state, so the telephone lines were busy, and annual trips to Bakersfield by Diana, and to Idaho by Wilma were a must. She was a beautiful seamstress, and her family members took great pride in wearing the outfits Grammy loving crafted. A few of our many special family memories are celebrating Grammy's 75th birthday when she climbed to the falls along the Columbia River while camping, and Grammy's 80th birthday when she parasailed, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She was considered a celebrity on the beach. Wilma was a champion for her family, always eager to encourage them in their many adventures in life. She will always be remembered for her lively personality, funny sense of humor, youthful spirit, and her loyalty and devotion to her family. Grammy was "generationless." She was always included as "one the girls". Visitation begins Monday, March 19th, from 4-8 p.m., with a chapel service to be held Tuesday, March 20th, 10:00 a.m., at Hillcrest Mortuary. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Park. She will forever be missed by her family and friends whose lives she deeply touched. We love you Grammy. Till we meet again.

Edward Accola was a Pueblo boy, well known and highly respected by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

Adamovich, Tony Tony Adamovich - Pueblo Chieftain - April 9, 2012 - City watches a love-triangle murder trial - A love triangle that ended in death fascinated readers of The Pueblo Chieftain during the week of April 8-14, 1912. The murder trial of Thomas Kvitko began April 8. He was charged with killing Tony Adamovich in the Grove in November 1911. The killing, the paper reported, was over "pretty 18-year-old" Katie Ladamus. "All the court watched as Kvitko's eyes met hers and she returned his greeting with a pathetic smile," according to a reporter. The couple was engaged when Kvitko killed Adamovich "among the Austrians, Servians (sic) and Croatians who live in the Grove," the paper said. Kvitko declared he had acted in self-defense. Ladamus and her sister gave testimony that was in Kvitko's favor, the paper reported a day later. Then, in a front-page story on April 11, the reporter detailed a bizarre occurrence. Under intense cross-examination by prosecutor Hughes (the newswriting style at the time often omitted first names of well-known people), Kvitko was trying to explain the killing of Adamovich. Kvitko's testimony didn't satisfy Hughes, who handed him the alleged murder weapon, a shotgun (presumably not loaded) and Kvitko re-enacted the shooting, using Hughes as the stand-in for Adamovich. After 21 hours of deliberation, the jury reported it could come to no decision. The paper on April 13 reported that Kvitko was considering making an agreement, pleading to a manslaughter charge.

His parents, Gilbert Joseph and Theola K. Adkisson and a brother, Raymond Emanuel Adkisson, preceded him in death. A graduate of Forest Park Community College, Lonnie also attended Southeast Missouri State University, and the University of Missouri. He was a licensed real estate broker in Missouri and was a salesman for the first handicapped van conversion company in the United States. After moving to Denver, he and Vibeke founded and operated AAA Medical Sales, Inc. In 2005, Lonnie and his wife, Vibeke, moved to Trinidad, purchased the historic McCormick Building, renovated it, and opened the Purgatoire River Trading Co. An avid collector of Southwest antiquities and fine art, Lonnie had a lifetime interest in the Native American culture of our country and the history of the Old West. He was just an old horse trader at heart. A professional appraiser in Navajo Indian art, textiles and turquoise jewelry, he loved the trading company he founded. Lonnie was a hard working businessman throughout his life. His reputation for honesty and integrity is well known throughout the Southwest. Vendors and customers became his friends. Everyone was welcome to pull up a chair and have a cup of coffee at The Post. If you came in the store a stranger, you didn't leave as one. Paralyzed as the result of a high diving accident at age 18, Lonnie learned to embrace life with courage and bravery. As a result of this accident, he quickly came to understand how precious life is and determined he would live everyday to the fullest. It was an ambition he fulfilled and marked the very nature of his character. The wheelchair that held his body for nearly 50 years could not hold his spirit or contain his passion for life. He never let that chair define him as a man. Not one to ever complain about his physical limitations, he was an inspiration to those around him. His dry wit and great sense of humor were contagious and he was the master of the practical joke. Generous with his time and resources, he made each person in his life feel special. He was a loving and compassionate husband, father, grandfather and a good friend to many. Lonnie served in the United States Naval Reserve in Willington, Tenn. He was a member of the Masons, the Scottish Rite and was a Shriner. He was a life member of the Paralyzed Veterans of America and served as its National Service Officer and Associate National Service Director in Washington, D.C. He was uniquely qualified to assist and encourage countless disabled people in their efforts to establish new lives and find the resources needed to live with respect and dignity. Until his death, Lonnie devoted his life in service to others in need and counted it a gift to be able to help anyone he could. Lonnie leaves behind his beloved wife, Vibeke, of their home, daughters JoEllen (Dan) Sciullo, Golden, Colo., Mette-Margarethe (Tim Acker) Adkisson, Las Vegas, Nev., a granddaughter, Lauren, and three grandsons, Zaven, Cameron and Jordan, a brother, C. Wayne (Doris) Adkisson, Lafayette, La., sisters, June Lamb, Lincoln, Calif., Margot (Junior) Crook and Judy Dundon, both of St. Louis, Mo., many wonderful nieces and nephews, and a multitude of loving friends. At his request, there will be no formal service, but a celebration of a life well lived will be held in the place he loved best, the Purgatoire River Trading Co., 113 E. Main St., in Trinidad. A Street party at the Main and Commercial Street intersection, on the E. Main Street side will be held Sunday, Aug. 7, from 5-8 p.m. At a later time, family and friends will also honor his final wish and scatter his ashes along the ground on the site of the original Santa Fe Trail, which runs straight through the heart of Trinidad, the home he deeply loved and cared for.

Aguirre, Jonathan Jonathan Aguirre - Pueblo Chieftain - October 11, 2009 - Rollover crash kills Walsenburg man - Icy roads also factor into Kiowa County accident - Ice covered roads could be partly to blame for a rollover accident Saturday morning that killed a Walsenburg man on Interstate 25, the Colorado State Patrol reported. Jonathan Aguirre, 19, of Walsenburg, died in the single-car accident. The patrol reported that Aguirre was traveling northbound on Interstate 25 about 15 miles north of Trinidad when he lost control of his 2001 Ford Escort. The patrol said that after Aguirre lost control of the vehicle, the vehicle began to rotate clockwise and slid off the right side of the road. The Escort continued north off of the road and rolled one half time before crashing into a barbed-wire fence. The Escort came to rest in an open field on its roof. The patrol said Aguirre wore a seat belt and that exceeding a safe speed on an icy road contributed to the crash. Icy roads caused another serious accident on Colorado 287 between Wiley and Eads. Two tractor-trailers crashed head-on, shutting down the highway for about five hours Saturday. The accident happened about 10 a.m., 3 miles south of Eads. Louis Washington III, 63, of Charlotte, N.C. was traveling northbound on Colorado 287, and Raymond C. Lance, 31 of San Bernardino, Calif., both slid on the icy roadway and collided. A 2000 Toyota 4-Runner driven by Rex Weimer, 54, of Greenwood Village, attempted to avoid the collision, but Washington's trailer clipped the driver's side of the 4-Runner, causing minor damage. Both semis were engulfed in flames. However, both Lance and Washington were able to escape their vehicles on foot. Lance and Washington were transported to Weisbrod Memorial Hospital in Eads with minor injuries. Weimer was not injured.

Allen - Pueblo Chieftain - April 4, 2014 - Carlota M. Allen. Rosary, 6 p.m. today, Angelus Chapel. Allen, Charles Charles Allen - Rocky Mountain News - August 11, 1895 - From Man to Monster - Injustice and Brutality Alter a Mild Mannered Youth - Did Not Hesitate at Murder - Jean Valjean's Career Repeated in the Life of an Unfortunate Confined in the State Reformatory - Goaded to Desperation by Continued Injustice, Pedro Leandro Martinez Becomes a Demon in Human Shape - Sequel to a Villainous Blackmailing Scheme - Pedro Leandro Martinez will be brought back to Las Animas county to answer a charge of murder in killing Charles Allen if a requisition issued yesterday is honored by the governor of New Mexico, where Martinez is under arrest as a fugitive. With him will come shackled Pedro Baca, wanted for the same murder, but it is in Martinez that most interest will center. That he has turned out a murderer, it is charged, is due largely, if not wholly, to a villainous blackmailing scheme against him and the mistaken methods in force at the Buena Vista reformatory which make it anything but the institution it was designed to be by law. The Martinez case will figure to considerable extent in the charges being prepared against the penitentiary commissioners. Martinez is a young man and when convicted of larceny in Las Animas county about three years ago was sentenced to the state reformatory. Prisoners sent there are under an indefinite sentence, to be released on parole as conduct justifies. Martinez proved a tractable convict. There were few if any marks against him, and at the end of a year and four months he was released on parole and returned to Las Animas County. Malice and Blackmail According to the story of Martinez, and his story is fully credited by those most familiar with the case, he was returned to the reformatory through malice and blackmail. There is a standing reward of $25 for the return to the reformatory of each released convict who violates his parole. This was too great a temptation for a petty constable or deputy sheriff and a charge of some small larceny was trumped up against Martinez. Then, according to his story the officer promised to release him if he would pay $25, the amount of the reward which he received from the reformatory for Martinez' return. He had not the money. His aged mother could not raise it. So Martinez was sent back to Buena Vista. The sense of injustice which the returned convict felt made a regular devil of him. During his previous incarceration he had obeyed all rules and conducted himself like a man. Now he violated all rules and sought all the trouble he could find. It was never explained to the convict that the judge had no right to impose a sentence of two years, and when he had served long enough to make his two periods of imprisonment reach two years and he failed to be released, he grew more incorrigible than ever. Repeatedly Strung Up The inhuman punishment of stringing up was resorted to repeatedly with Martinez until the charities board investigation last winter revealed the cruelties of the institution, and this punishment was stopped for a time. Martinez is supposed to be the man upon whom Deputy Warden Hoyt threw his whole weight while the convict was hung up by the wrists. Hoyt, for once, had met a man of whose revengeful spirit he was afraid. When the hangings-up were stopped he had built a sort of cage in a corner of one of the buildings, and here Martinez was closely confined. When Warden McDonald took charge of the reformatory he went to Martinez's cage, talked to him like a man, told him what he could gain by behaving himself and released him from close confinement. He only behaved fairly well, but in June last, to everybody's surprise, he was released a second time upon parole. He returned to Las Animas County again, but this time as an outlaw at heart. If he could be sent back to prison by blackmail once, he saw that he could be again, and he was reckless. One trouble followed another until it led to the killing of Charles Allen July 7, last. Martinez and Baca fled to Mexico. When his hiding place was discovered Martinez fought like a tiger and was badly riddled with bullets before he would surrender.

Allen, Harry Lee Harry Lee Allen - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - December 23, 1975 - Springs Policeman Killed in Accident - A Colorado Springs police officer was killed Monday night when he was struck by a car while investigating a one-car accident on Highway 24 near Powers Boulevard. Police identified the officer as Harry Lee Allen, 40, of 3624 E. San Miguel St. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Allen, according to police, was investigating a rollover accident in the 5600 block of East Platte Avenue when he was struck by a car driven by Marie Ianacone, 20, of 1298 Hathaway Drive. Allen was struck by the car's right front fender. The force of the impact threw him into the vehicle's windshield, and he was carried along on the hood of the car. Police Traffic Lt. Emmitt Butler said Allen was carried on the hood for at least 150 feet before he fell to the pavement. Allen was dispatched to the location at about 10 p.m. to investigate the rollover. He had called for an ambulance to take one of the occupants of the car to a hospital and had assisted a wrecker crew in removing the car from the scene. Only minor injuries were reported from the rollover. Butler said Allen was in the roadway taking measurements of the first accident when he was struck by the Ianacone vehicle. Allen, according to Butler, had the red light of his unmarked police cruiser on top of the vehicle. The accident occurred in the eastbound lanes of traffic and Butler said Allen had set up flares near the westbound lanes to assist the wrecker crew in removing the first car from the scene. A man, identified by police only as Sgt. Ryan of the Air Force, used the radio in Allen's cruiser to notify the police dispatcher of the accident. When other police units reached the scene, Allen was dead. Police said the area where the accident occurred is unlighted and is posted for a 55 miles per hour speed limit. Authorities returned to the scene today to continue their investigation. Two sets of skid marks, one from the rollover accident and the other from the Ianacone vehicle, plus the unlighted conditions, hampered the original investigation Monday night. Allen, who was married and had two sons and one daughter, would have entered his 11th year of duty with the police department on Jan. 1. He had been assigned to the police traffic division. An autopsy was scheduled for today to determine the exact cause of death. Ms. Ianacone and two passengers in her car, according to police, were questioned at the police headquarters and released pending further investigating.

Allen Pueblo Chieftain July 17, 1919 Ex-soldier Slays His Wife's Aid Mrs. Allen Killed and the Wife Is Dangerously Wounded Ernest Morris, age 28 years, a returned soldier shot and killed Mrs. Magnolia Allen, age 44, and dangerously wounded his wife, Mrs. Edna Morris, age 24, yesterday noon in the kitchen of the Gladstone Hotel, corner of Spruce Street and Northern Avenue. Morris gave as the reason for the crime that his wife refused to drop proceedings which according to the court records were begun by her last month, and because Mrs. Allen was aiding the girl in obtaining the divorce and furnishing her with the money with which to institute the proceedings. Mrs. Morris is at St. Mary's Hospital in a critical condition but may recover, according to Dr. W. E. Buck. Since he returned from war service, Morris has been employed on various jobs, but recently on a lineman's crew of the Western Union Telegraph Co. His crew was at Mustang some 50 miles South of Pueblo, recently and yesterday was payday. He laid off and came to Pueblo on this morning's train. Sheriff Thomas was on the train bringing a prisoner from Trinidad to Pueblo. He noticed the man in soldier's uniform get on the train at Mustang and also noticed the men get off at Minnequa Junction instead of coming into the Union Station. Minnequa Junction is near the boarding house. Were Getting Dinner Morris got to the house about noon while Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Morris, who was employed by Mrs. Allen, were getting dinner ready for the borders. Morris stepped into the kitchen and commenced to talk with his wife asking her again to drop the divorce proceedings. She replied that if he would wait until after dinner she would talk to him. Mrs. Allen remarked that the girl could not stop to talk until after she had finished her work. She also ordered Morris out of the house. But Morris drew a revolver and fired three shots at his wife as she was dishing up some of the food for the dinner. One shot penetrated her left shoulder near the joint and pass through the fleshy part of the shoulder. Another shot pass through the fleshy part of her arm just above the wrist. The third shot struck her in the back on a level with the hips and apparently ranged upward possibly lodging in the liver or in the kidneys. In case the bullet struck either one of these two organs the case may prove fatal. Then he turned the gun on Mrs. Allen and fired one shot. It struck her in the neck and broke her neck as well as severing the jugular vein. She died instantly. Shots Attract Crowd The shots attracted a large crowd of persons to the house. Herman Petron, special agent for the Meator Co. was in the neighborhood. He hurried with the crowd and ask what was the matter. He was informed that a soldier was inside the house shooting every person that came in and that two women already were dead. Petron holds a commission as a deputy sheriff but had no firearms with him. A grocery man gave him a gun and he went in the hotel by the back way. He found Morris in the dining room, the smoking revolver still in his hand. Petron pointed his revolver at the man and ordered him to throw up his hands. The command was obeyed. Petron then disarmed Morris and held him until the police arrived. Patrolmen Ross was the first of the police force to arrive and he was followed quickly by the patrol wagon loaded with officers. Ross locked the prisoner in a room and when the patrol with Chauffeur McDonald, Patrolmen Swearingen, Olson and Shane arrived he turned the captive over to them. Sheriff Sam Thomas arrived on the scene about the same time as the police patrol and Officer Swearingen and Sheriff Thomas took the prisoner to the city hall in Sheriff Thomas' automobile. At the city hall, Morris was photographed by McDonald who also took fingerprints of the prisoner and other identification markings. Called for Major Martin Morris asked that Major John A. Martin be summoned to see him. Martin hurried to the police station and conferred with the man for some time. Morris asked Martin to write some letters for him to his parents and other relatives to apprise them of the position he was in. Mr. Martin, it is said, has not been retained by the prisoner as counsel. Sheriff Thomas and Deputy Sheriff Deliquadri then took the prisoner to the County jail where he will await the usual procedure of the law. Morris was drafted by the government for service in the spruce forests of the northwest. He was discharged from Camp Funston as a member of the infantry in December. While he was in the government service, Mrs. Morris resided with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Lloyd, in La Junta, and, besides drawing the government allotment for a wife and two children which the couple have, she worked for a photographer there. After receiving his discharge from the Army, Morris met his wife in La Junta and later they, with her parents, moved to Pueblo. Her parents reside at 301 Mechanic St. Morris calmly admitted to Sheriff Thomas and William Swearingen that his only reason for killing Mrs. Allen was that she was befriending and had aided his wife in seeking a divorce from him, and for having ordered him out of her house. Court Records Court records show that Mrs. Edna Morris had instituted suit for divorce from Ernest Morris, and on June 28 was granted a restraining order preventing the husband from annoying her with visits. On July 10 a hearing was set for the purpose of determining who should have custody of their children Hubert, a boy 8 years old, and Ruth, a girl 4 years old. She had asked the court to vacate the restraining order and the action for the custody of the children, and to permit her divorce suit to rely upon the grounds set forth in her complaint. The husband having promised the court to "make good," her requests were granted. The complaint alleges that the couple were married April 23, 1910. The complainant recites that in May, 1918, the husband struck her and twisted her arm causing relapse from illness. That in New Mexico in 1911 he knocked her down with a blow of his fist; that in August, 1911, he drew a gun and threatened to kill her if she visited any neighbor without his consent; that at 1204 Routt Ave. on April 15, 1919, he struck her in the face with his hand and on the breast with his shoe; and then on June 14 he struck, beat and choked her and threatened to kill her if she told of the treatment, or dared to leave him. He told her that "There is but one time to die, and shooting is as quick a way as any." Morris' parents reside in New Mexico where his father is a farmer. He has a sister here, Mrs. W. M. Payne, and another sister said to reside in Wooten, Colo. Mrs. Allen had lived in Pueblo for 7 years, and was well-known and liked. She was proprietor of the Gladstone Hotel, and member of Northern Avenue Method is Church. She is survived by her husband, V. D. Allen, and the following children: four by a former marriage, L. F. Bromley, Grand Island, Nebraska, Mrs. Ora Stark, Blanche, Colo., Mrs. Edna Downs, Pueblo, and Fred E. Bromley, Pueblo, and Charles and Forrest Allen, Pueblo. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the McCarthy Chapel. Rev. J. H. Ketchum will conduct the services. Burial in Roselawn. Pueblo Chieftain July 19, 1919 The funeral of Mrs. Magnolia M. Allen was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the McCarthy's Chapel. Rev. John Ketchum conducted services. Pallbearers were George M. Murphy, William Allen, W. G. Neher, J. W. Clark, R. H. Haines, and J. W. King. The burial was at Roselawn Cemetery. Pueblo Chieftain December 18, 1919 State's Witnesses Say Morris Was Sane at Time of Murder At 9:15 o'clock last night division A of the district court recessed until 9 o'clock this morning, and the jury went into all night quarters in one of the court house dormitories, having at that hour failed to agree upon a verdict in the Ernest Morris murder case. Directly opposite to the opinion of Dr. Philip Work, relative to the mental responsibility of Ernest Morris at the time he shot and killed Mrs. Magnolia Allen, in her Gladstone hotel, July 16, was that expressed yesterday by Dr. H. A. LaMoure, superintendent of the Colorado State Hospital for the Insane. In answer to a question plainly put and based on the examination by the physician and on the evidence he heard in the murder trial, Dr. LaMoure said: Taking the entire evidence into consideration I would say in all probability he was responsible. In fairness of comparison of the opinions of the two alienist experts, it should be stated that between the two opinions there had been adduced testimony of several witnesses, including Stansbury Jones, the grocer who furnished the revolver with which Herman Patron held up the murderer. Mr. Jones testified that he went to the doorway of the house in which the shooting took place not more than three or four minutes afterward, and talked to Morris as he stood in the dining room with the still hot revolver in his hand, and said to him: Hello, Morris, to which Morris responded: Hello, Jones. What is going on here? These d----d women have been attending to my business, and I'm tired of it. Are you ready to give yourself up to me? Not yet, Jones. Is Mrs. Allen dead? I don't know. I then asked Morris, said Jones, if he would allow me to come in and see if I could do something for Mrs. Allen, but he would not let me. Deputy District Attorney Barbrick, who was conducting the examination, then asked the witness what in his opinion was the mental condition of Morris at that time; there was strong objection that the witness had not qualified as to his ability to answer the question, and following further questions as to the demeanor of Morris, he was allowed by the court to answer, and Jones said I judge he was sane. To the surprise of the audience, and apparently to the defense, the state called Mrs. Edna Morris to the stand and had her sworn. She was asked if she was the wife of the defendant, and answered in the affirmative. Immediately Mr. Hoffmire vigorously objected to Mrs. Morris testifying on the ground that under a cited supreme court decision a wife cannot testify against her husband, or a husband against a wife without the other's consent. The court sustained the objection, and Mrs. Morris left the witness chair. She has an interlocutory decree of divorce entered since the murder, but not a final decree, and legally is still his wife. Dr. LaMoure answering the expert qualification questions, stated that he had practiced medicine for 19 years, and practically all of that time along the line of nervous and mental disorders. After completing his medical course he began his specialist practice in an institution at Rochester, New York. Then was in charge of an epileptic institution at Saratoga; next was in charge of an institution for the feeble minded at Rome, New York. Next he was connected with an institution for the feeble minded in North Dakota. He took up the duties as assistant superintendent of the Colorado insane asylum in this city in 1911, and for the past seven years has been its superintendent. He stated that he examined Morris at the county jail a week ago last Sunday, and attempted to do so again last Sunday, but could not because the defendant would not converse with him. George Murphy, who was alleged by Morris to have been the man in the case, with whom his wife had been intimate, denied that there had ever been any improper relations between Mrs. Morris and himself, and said that just several days before the killing he had loaned some money to Morris. Sheriff S. E. Thomas testified that he talked to Morris a half hour after the shooting and again the same day and that Morris seemed perfectly normal in mind and answered all his questions as to why he had done the shooting.

Another emblem that added to the impressiveness and the sweet memory was a service flag from St. Mary's Hospital bearing nine stars one star being in gold to represent the one of its number who had answered the call and "gone west." Advices received here state that Miss Allen was accorded full military honors with military funeral service at Fort Slocum last Thursday evening, before the body was started to Pueblo. This service is said to also have been very impressive. A volley was fired and taps sounded as the boat bearing the casket left the island on which the fort is situated. It is also announced that while awaiting orders to be sent overseas she was one of the many who answered the emergency call from the camp to help care for the victims of the dreadful epidemic. The care of others before yourself. Rev. John A. Martin, Catholic chaplain at the Fort Slocum post, writes her sister here, Mrs. George J. Martin, conveying spiritual condolence for the loss of this sister who, on duty, was cheerful and untiring in her care for the sick boys. He writes: "After I had given her Holy Communion, she asked me to write to you, to tell you she was prepared, and was resigned to the will of God. She remained cheerful until she peacefully passed away. I said mass for her this morning." From Maud Parson, chief nurse, Replacement Unit, No. 4, Mrs. Martin received a letter a consolation and one of high commendation. It reads: "it is very, very sad indeed, and the only word of comfort I can give you is that she died in the service of her country and will be on the honor roll with all the heroes and heroines who are giving their all in this struggle for humanity. She was one of the many nurses who answered the emergency call from the camps to help care for the victims of this dreadful epidemic."

Pueblo Chieftain - March 8, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1918 - 1919 - Pueblo Goes to War and a Deadly Flu Strikes - As September passed, however, Pueblo's attention focused on a danger much closer to home: The Spanish flu epidemic, which was beginning to kill hundreds of people along the East Coast, had made it to Colorado. It came quickly, with sudden, soaring fevers and pneumonia-like symptoms. Pueblo lawyer Robert Gast was head of the local Red Cross and he helped the city prepare for what was coming. On Oct. 2, the newspapers reported that doctors had discovered six cases of the flu in a local family, which immediately was segregated for treatment. The city and Pueblo County officials reacted fast. Schools were ordered closed on Oct. 3 until further notice, public entertainment closed - and a strict "no spitting" law enforced. The city waited for the flu storm to strike, and it did. Reports on Oct. 15 said there were 90 cases around the city (6,000 deaths nationally). On Oct. 23, the papers reported that Pueblo nurse Phoebe Allen, 27, died of the flu while on her way to Europe.

Allen Pueblo Chieftain June 4, 1921 Flood Extra The largest flood visiting Pueblo since Decoration Day 1894 gutted the business and wholesale business districts of the city last night and early this mourning. More than a score of lives were reported lost when both the Missouri Pacific and the Denver and Rio Grande passenger trains were swept into the river near Nuckolls Packing company last night.

Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified The official list of dead follows: W. R. Allen, Pueblo, previously reported as A. A. Allen... None of the 31 (?) recovered bodies between Pueblo and Boone reported last night by the rangers are included in this list.

Estimates of the deaths last night included 10 bodies reported to have been recovered on the St. Charles Mesa and a number of bodies not yet recovered but declared by searching parties to have been located under water and debris which made their removal impossible. Ray McCarthy, acting coroner, announced today that no inquests would be held over the bodies of the flood victims. "The flood was an act of God. No inquest is needed to determine that," he said. Allen, William William Allen - Colorado Springs Gazette - September 14, 2012 - Coroner's office ID's 3 bodies discovered in recent weeks - The identifications of three people found dead in public places in recent weeks were released Thursday by the El Paso County Coroner's Office. The body of William Allen, 54, was found July 10 in Red Rock Canyon about 8 to 10 feet off of a trail in a steep, rocky area. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging. According to the coroner's report, Allen had been in an altercation five days before his body was found and had been asked to leave a home. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said the badly decomposed body appeared to have been in the canyon for some time. The body of Eric Elmquist, 58,was found floating face down in Fountain Creek on Aug. 1. He died from drowning, according to the autopsy report. Also, acute alcohol intoxication is believed to have contributed to his death. According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, Elmquist was found by a hiker walking the trail on the south side of the Fountain Creek RV Park at U.S. Highway 24 and 31st Street in Old Colorado City. Police said they believed him to be homeless - next to his body was a backpack stuffed with clothes. The body of Randall White, 50, was found naked in a city storm drain on Aug. 20. He died of natural causes, stemming from complications of chronic alcoholism, according to the autopsy report. White, who had no legs and used a wheelchair, was spotted by a woman who was walking down a sidewalk, south of the intersection of Pikes Peak Avenue and Academy Boulevard. Police say the woman looked down into the storm drain through a grate and spotted White. He was believed to be homeless. The coroner's office attempted to find White's family but was unable to locate any relatives. The coroner's reports were released in response to a Colorado Open Records Act request. Allen, William H.

Almaguer, Efren Efren Moe Almaguer - Pueblo Chieftain - January 18, 2012 - Efren Moe Almaguer, age 82, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home on the morning of Sunday Jan. 8, 2012. Efren was born in Pueblo on Nov. 8, 1929. Pueblo is where Moe acquired many skills that would serve him well later in life. Selling newspapers at a young age is where he began to build a strong work ethic. He met the challenge when it was time to compete, having to fight another boy who wanted to take over his corner. Dressing sharp, looking good and his great dancing moves were all learned while he was growing up in the Bessemer area. Moe attended Central High School and a few weeks after turning 17, he enlisted in the Army. In basic training, he was picked on by a sergeant for admittedly slacking off. The message got through and Efren told him, Sgt. Garcia, today I'm going to start soldiering for you. And he did. He was handpicked to serve in a special police unit. Efren was assigned to D Troop, 22nd Constabulary Squadron at Bad Hersfeld, Germany. He loved that they wore a handsome uniform with a special helmet and a bright golden yellow scarf for high visibility and distinctiveness. Demobilization of the Army shortened Efren's enlistment and he returned to Pueblo in 1948. He worked several jobs in the area before deciding to relocate to Los Angeles, where his father and younger brother were residing. In 1952, Efren began what would become a 38-year career in package delivery. He started as a bicycle messenger and worked his way up to supervisor with Red Arrow. Efren's consistent results were recognized and in 1976 he was promoted to United Parcel Service as a customer service representative. He was quoted as saying, I love to sell and I love to beat the competition. He was described by a former co-worker as being tremendously hard-working and dedicated. Effie had a smooth and suave approach with his customers. When a customer was dissatisfied, UPS would send Effie to turn things around. One of the most difficult decisions of his life was made in 1990 when, as a district representative manager, he decided to retire. Shortly thereafter, Efren returned to his hometown of Pueblo, Colo. In retirement, Efren was an avid book reader, listening to jazz, member of Fraternal Order of the Eagles, Aerie No. 145. He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. Laughing, telling stories and trading jabs with his friends was typical. He loved when his Raiders played the Broncos, despite being outnumbered by the opposing fans. Going out often and socializing was still his favorite pastime and he was always generous when the bill came. His joy of dancing remained well into his late 70s, but he was slowing down. During phone conversations, he would say, Mijo (son), old age is catching up with your daddy. I'm having to limit myself to going out to maybe only two or three times a week. In his own words, he lived a long and full life blessed with many children and great friends. He will be missed by his family, friends and former co-workers. Efren Almaguer, a proud son of Pueblo. Preceded in death by his parents: father, Miguel Almaguer in 1963, and mother, Frances Martinez in 1985; and brother, Fred Almaguer in 1988. Also, special friend and companion, Rita Constanza in 2010. He leaves to cherish his memory, children, Gloria (Ted) Espinoza, Manuel (Doris) Almagure, Arthur Almaguer, Audrey Almaguer, John (Martha) Almaguer, Valerie (Norman Lowrey) Almaguer, Linda (Andrew) Aguilar and Roger Almaguer; two sisters, Mary (Ray) Martinez, Ernestine (Paul) Muniz; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, other relatives and friends.

Altic, James James Altic Pueblo Chieftain February 5, 1919 James Altic, age 35 years, died at a local hospital February 4; survived by wife and daughter, at 1321 East Routt Ave. Body at United. Pueblo Chieftain February 6, 1919 Altic's Death Was Caused by Angina Pectoris Verdict "That the deceased, James Altic, came to his death as a result of a sudden attack of angina pectoris, which was sufficient to cause his death." The above findings were returned by Coroner Campbell's jury after the evidence of several witnesses was heard, and after two doctors, who performed the autopsy on the body, handed the jury the findings of their examinations. James Altic, who was 28 years old, and resided at 1324 East Routt Ave., was taken suddenly ill Tuesday afternoon while at his work in the C. & W. Railroad Shops. He ate his lunch shortly after 1 o'clock and had resumed work when he complained of severe pains in his lungs. He was taken to Minnequa Hospital at 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and at 3:30 o'clock he expired. Dr. R. H. Finney, who was the first witness called, said he performed an autopsy on the body and found nothing that would indicate foul play or any marks resulting from an accident. He said it examination was made of the heart, lungs, and stomach, all of which were found normal. Although angina pectoris would not affect the respiration, it would sooner or later cause the patient's death, the doctor added. Dr. D. F. Hoag, corroborated the statements of Dr. Finney, insofar as to say that no abnormal condition was found existing in connection with the body of the deceased. He also found the heart, lungs, and stomach normal. Both doctors failed to find any traces of poison in the system of the deceased. Raymond Hill, an employee of the C. & W. Railroad, testified that he saw Altic at 1 o'clock. He was then complaining of pains in his lungs. He became gradually weaker and grew semi-conscious. An ambulance was called and Altic was taken to the hospital. W. D. Bunker, who is master mechanic at the C. & W. yards, said he was told at 1 o'clock that Altic had taken ill. He went to where Altic was an advised that an ambulance be called to take him to the hospital. Bunker said that Altic told him he was suffering pains about his lungs. Bunker said he had spoken to Altic several times during the forenoon and during that time he did not show any signs of illness. At the hospital, Altic was attended by Dr. Finney, who said that he lost consciousness ten minutes before he died. The exact cause of death was not known until after an autopsy on the body was performed. Altic was married and is survived by his wife and one child, and a brother, Hammer Altic. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. No. 53 of Pueblo, and Machinist Union No. 13. The inquest was held at the United Undertaking parlors.

Andenucio, Edna Mae Edna Mae Andenucio - Pueblo Chieftain - October 12, 2011 - Edna Mae Andenucio, 91, passed away Oct. 8, 2011. Born July 26, 1920, to Lucias T. Plumlee and Flora Louise Dwyer Plumlee in Joplin, Mo. She was preceded in death by her parents; step-father, Al Gollen; and siblings, Glen Plumlee, Irene Brady and Imogene Masquelier. As a young child, Edna moved with her family to Pittsburg, Kan., where she graduated from Pittsburg High School. She came to Pueblo to live with her mother during World War II and met Mike Andenucio. They were married nearly 62 years at the time of his death in 2007. Edna is survived by her loving children, daughter, Marilyn Antenucci and son, Mickey Andenucio; grandchildren, Joshua Ladd, Tiffany (Dan) Steiner; great-granddaughter, Skylar Steiner; and former son-in-law, Skip Ladd; nephew, John (Corkey) Plumlee, Pittsburg, Kan.; great-niece, Kelli (Brad) McPhail, Overbrook, Kan.; sister-in-law, Carrie Andenucio; niece and nephews, Joanna, Joseph, Anthony (Ginger) Andenucio of Pueblo; and extended family in California. Edna's love of textiles and fashion, combined with a strong business sense, led to the successful establishment of the Marilyn Kay Style Shop in 1956. Her thriving business was featured in the New York City publication of Women's Wear Daily. When Edna sold her shop in 1967, she continued her study with Jehovah's Witnesses. She became baptized in 1968 and was a member of the Lakeview Congregation. This association fulfilled a deep spiritual longing because she appreciated the truth found in the Bible, that mankind will not be plagued forever by sickness and death, and that one day she will receive a resurrection to life on earth. Edna was proud of her Irish heritage and her pioneering people. Her grandfather, Edward Dwyer, immigrated with his parents from County Cork, Ireland in 1853. He homesteaded a section of land and ranched in Las Animas County where her mother was born. Edna's paternal family helped establish Berryville, Ark. in 1832. A loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother with a keen sense of humor, Edna also believed in the ethical treatment of all people and always demonstrated a sense of fair play in dealing with her family, friends or customers. Special thanks to Dr. Phillip Woods, physician and friend and his staff. In lieu of food and flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to Sangre de Cristo Hospice.

Dean was born on Feb. 11, 1934, in Pierre, S.D. He was the only child of Alvin and Minnie Anderson. He graduated from Huron High School in South Dakota but not before eloping with Katherine Mary Hines. And after graduation, he moved to Pueblo, Colo., where he began his career as a lineman for the power company. His career was put on hold when he enlisted in the USMC and was sent to Korea. After his return, he resumed his career and began his lifelong affiliation with his union, IBEW-12. Dean's career was not only fulfilling but was prolific in its entirety. His natural talents and his union took him all over the country working. He worked in New York City on both towers at the World Trade Center and Pier 17 and worked at power plants all over this country. He was at NORAD, the Air Force Academy and his favorite job working on the Arkansas Frying-Pan Project in the tunnels near Pagosa Springs. But his career began laying lines mile after mile beginning in the streets of Pueblo, so every time you find yourself on Northern or Prairie and so many others in between, look at the lines and think of Dean. Dean lost his high school sweetheart, wife and mother of his six children, Katherine, in 1977. They had endured the loss of their infant son, Hal, in 1959 and later Dean lost his daughter, Deanna, as well as his beloved parents and many, many dear friends and family members. After 27 years, Dean finally found and married Betty L. Colby, who quickly brought light, joy, laughter and the joy of traveling and fellowship back into his life. Dean is survived by his wife, Betty L. Colby; and his children, Duane (Mike) of Sheridan, Wyo.; his daughter, Julie Anderson, Shannon (Don) Anderson- Skinner and their children, Kalhoon and Klancy of Pueblo; Glenn (Jana) and their children, Reagan and Dean Anderson of Toronto, Canada, Scott (Tracy) Anderson of Colorado Springs, stepchildren, Doug and Keith Colby, Marlo (Derek) Vigil and their wonderful children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; as well as many wonderful friends and family, both in Pueblo and South Dakota.

An electrical wire dislodged by the wind had charged the chain and 2,300 volts of electricity passed through his body. He died 5 minutes after a streetcar crew found him beside the post. The accident occurred while Anthony was waiting for a streetcar on the corner. He evidently stepped onto a steel bench to reach the chain which held the lamp in place. He grasped the wooden handle of the chain. His fingers slipped past the handle and touched the chain, it is believed. Anthony wore top-nailed shoes, the nails in the souls forming a complete circuit with a steel bench on which he was standing. Nails were burned out of the soles; three toes and one finger were badly charred. The prostrate body was first noticed by Motorman R. C. Masters who stopped the car and he and Conductor Thomas investigated. The police were immediately notified and Night Capt. Jack Sinclair and Chauffeur McDonald rushed to the scene. Coroner Ray Taylor was notified and the body was removed to the Davis & Vories Undertaking Co. Anthony is a laborer foreman at the merchant mill at the steelworks, and was on his way to work when the accident occurred. He is an electrician by trade, being a member of the local union of electricians, and was familiar with lights. He knew that the lamp would probably burn if the chain was slightly jarred. He has been married but 2 weeks. His wife was Miss Christina E. Woods, daughter of H. O. Woods, 2500 Cedar St. he is survived by the widow, a father and a mother, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Anthony, a sister Miss Margaret Anthony who is attending the state University at Boulder and one brother, Thomas Anthony residing at home. He was a member of the Episcopal Church and the Electrical Workers 'Union of America. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed.

Mollie was born on June 24, 1928 in Trinidad, Colorado to Enrique and Abenicia (Maes) Martinez. As a young girl, Mollie moved with her family to Ault. Mollie met Willie Archibeque at a party and they were married on December 1, 1947 at St. Peter's Catholic Church. They moved into their home, which at the time had just two rooms and lived there for 64 years. Through the years Mollie worked at The Tea House, Greeley, Bayly Manufacturing, Greeley, helped in the family business, M&A Construction and at Marisol Mexican Restaurant, Greeley. Mollie was the typical 50's mom, without the pearls, heels and shirtwaist dresses. She worked at home cleaning, sewing, canning, baking and cooking everything from scratch. She was Martha Stewart before being Martha was the "in" thing. She always said her hobby was working around the house. She was an excellent role model, modeling strength and independence. She had a great sense of humor and will be remembered for her wisdom, helpfulness, love and kindness, as well as being an inspiration on giving and loving. She was the heart of her family and her strength kept them close. Her kindness and caring were reflected in her unselfish acts towards others. Family was everything to her, whether you were born into, married into, or brought into the family as a friend, you were family. Mollie showered everyone with her selfless love, kindness, warmth and caring ways. She enjoyed going to ball games, concerts and award night for her grandchildren and also attending the fair to see their 4-H projects. She touched everyone through her culinary goodies. Mollie was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Mission in Ault and the Holy Family Society. She touched many lives through her deep faith in God that gave her daily strength and guided her in all that she did. She prayed for everyone. The worn beads of her rosary are a testament to her unwavering faith in God and the power of prayer. When you thought angels were watching over you, they were, and they were most likely sent through Mollie's prayers. Her family strives to follow her selfless example to not judge others, to be the best that they can be to everyone they meet and to live life with a kind, loving and accepting spirit. Mollie is survived by her husband, Willie; daughter, Linda Trimberger (Dan) of Greeley; three sons, Howard Archibeque (Karen), Russ Archibeque (Tammy) and Bill Archibeque (Linda) all of Greeley; grandchildren, Daniel Trimberger (Melissa) of Portland, Oregon, Courtney Archibeque of Beverton, Oregon, Lauren Archibeque of Greeley and Zane Archibeque of Longmont; two great-grandchildren, Tre Trimberger and Kellen Victoria Trimberger and many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Some were addicted to drugs or alcohol, others had mental or other health issues. All of them had at one time experienced homelessness and for some, that lifestyle may have contributed to their cause of death.

On Tuesday, friends and family of the 15 individuals are invited to remember their loved ones at the sixth annual Pueblo Homeless Memorial service. The annual service is set to begin at noon near the St. Francis of Assisi statue, located on the far northwestern edge of the riverwalk. "We want to make sure that all these people are remembered and recognized for who they were," said LaTanya Yarbrough, a case manager at Posada agency for the homeless and organizer of the memorial event. "Everybody deserves to be remembered and for some, this is the only way that family and friends can gain closure is by holding a service like this." As part of the event, Yarbrough said family and friends are invited to share their memories about those who have died this year. The Pueblo Veterans Ritual team also will offer a 21-gun salute in honor of the two homeless veterans - Daryl Holt and Thomas Reynolds - who died this year.

She had two brothers, John and Bill. She spent her time in the Gardner and Red Wing areas, where her parents worked and farmed for many people including the Schulers. She married Celistino "Archie" Archuleta in 1945. When Archie came back from Korea, they resumed their lives in Southern Colorado, farming and ranching on the Hanna Ranch. Never having their own children, they met Mary and Clark Hanna and their six children. Viola and Archie filled the role as second parents for these children. After Clark Hanna and his daughter Randy were killed, and Mary married Jon Frost and had her son, Jay, Viola took in Jay as her own along with Mary's other kids. Viola loved these children as if they were her own and they loved her in the same way. She and Archie spent 40 years with the family. They lived on the Frost Ranch and became cornerstones of the ranch. There was no other family closer to the Hannas and the Frosts than Archie and Viola. Viola is survived by her brother, Bill; and her niece, Billie Jo; Bill's wife, Vickie, and her daughters, Rayetta and Georgiann. She will have a nice reunion with her parents and Mary. She will be missed dearly by the children and grandchildren she raised: Terry, Karen, Harah, Ginger, Wallis, Ferris, Steve and Anna, Kirk and Jay, and by her many friends and extended family members.

At 20 years of age he enlisted in the Army and did a three year stint in Germany, earning the Occupational Medal for his service. Ernie loved to spend time with his family. He loved to watch Oprah and his soap operas as well. After Dad retired he got pretty set in his routine, which included George's Drive-In from Tuesday to Saturday. I think that it wasn't so much the wonderful food but the atmosphere of the great staff that he enjoyed. On Sunday and Monday he had lunch at the Huerfano. He also enjoyed his dinners at Corine's.

Arellano, Julia Julia Arellano - Colorado Springs Gazette - March 16, 2005 - Girl, 9, Shot in Struggle with Brother, 6 - Who Pulled Trigger in Pueblo Tragedy Not Known - Pueblo - A 9-year-old girl was fatally shot Monday as her younger brother struggled to get their father's handgun away from her, authorities said Tuesday. Julia Arellano died from a single gunshot wound to the chest about 5:50 p.m. at her home on Kirk Avenue in eastern Pueblo. Investigators with the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office hadn't determined whether the girl or the 6-year-old boy pulled the trigger. Both of them had ahold of the gun, sheriff's spokesman Steve Bryant said. At least two adults - the children's grandmother and father, Ruben Arellano were home during the shooting. The grandmother comforted the boy, who was being cared for Tuesday by relatives. The father fell ill after the shooting and was hospitalized. He was in good condition Tuesday afternoon in the intensive care unit at St. Mary Corwin Medical Center. Julia found the .22-caliber gun on the floor underneath a dresser in a bedroom shared by her father and brother, investigators said. Julia's brother told her to put down the gun and leave it alone, but she continued to play with it and loaded a magazine, Sheriff Dan Corsentino said. The boy grabbed the gun to try and take it away, and it fired during the struggle. The tragedy of this, we can't even explain the magnitude of it just from the perspective you have a 9-year-old little girl who had her whole life ahead of her, and the impact it's going to have on the 6-year-old little boy is significant, as well as the rest of the family members, Corsentino said. It hasn't been determined whether any adults in the home will face charges such as child neglect or providing a gun to a juvenile, Corsentino said. Investigators found three other guns in the home, shared by several family members; the children's mother doesn't live there, investigators said. The other guns were in the uncle's room. None of them had gun locks and were not secured in locked boxes or cabinets, investigators said. Corsentino encouraged people to secure guns out of reach of children. And if the guns are locked up, hide the key where children can't find it. Parents should also talk to their children, because guns are a natural curiosity to children, Corsentino said. Tell them if they find one, he said, not to pick it up. Too few children can reliably distinguish between a real gun and a toy gun, Corsentino said. Arellano, Mary C. Mary C.

BIOGRAPHY Lifelong Valdez farmer and land grant activist Fermνn Arguello told most everyone who came through his house the one about the sheep in the storm. As a young boy herding sheep from his native Arroyo Seco to Wyoming with his great grandfather, Arguello awoke in his tent the morning after a storm to find the sheep had died frozen where they stood. Arguello's granddaughter Marcνa Gonzales-Kimbrough said this was one of many stories that shaped her grandfather's character. Arguello died just after having partial hip replacement surgery on Christmas Day (Dec. 25). He was 95 years old. It was the hardships that made him such a hardy person, Gonzales-Kimbrough said from her home in Los Angeles, Tuesday (Dec. 28). He had such a respect for what the earth has to give us. After losing his parents at a young age, Arguello was raised by his great grandparents, where he learned how to tend the land to accommodate modern agriculture without sacrificing New Mexican tradition. It was a balance Arguello kept and defended his entire life. Like many Taoseρos, Arguello was a proverbial Jack of all trades, working jobs from Taos Ski Valley lift operator to Pot Creek sawmill worker to a craftsman who built bomb test structures to be used by Los Alamos National Laboratory. I was often the only Latina on the slopes amid lots of Texans and Oklahomans and I'd get special greetings and special help boarding the ski lift from all the operators who were Latino locals and knew I was my Grandpa's granddaughter, Gonzales-Kimbrough said. But for the term of his life, Arguello's first love was always the land, something that bled over into his family. In the spring I remember helping to feed the baby lambs their milk from a Coca- Cola bottle with a special feeding nipple, Gonzales- Kimbrough recalled. It was a special treat for us youngsters to be allowed to nurse the baby lambs. A fierce defender of local land grant rights, Argu¨ello also came to understand later in life that he was part of a dying breed of local farmers. He knew people just aren't making a living at it anymore, Gonzales-Kimbrough said. But until the end, Arguello continued to talk about the glories of the hardships that made him who he was. He talked about what a rural agricultural life really means. He said that people who talk about an agricultural lifestyle should know that it's not just coming to Taos to enjoy the scenery and have a nice house, it's about it being 20 below out in Valdez and the cow decides to have its calf at 2 a.m., Gonzales-Kimbrough said.

Aronofsky, Patricia Ann Patricia Ann Aronofsky - Pueblo Chieftain - December 3, 2009 - Patricia Ann Aronofsky, born March 4, 1948, passed away Nov. 30, 2009. Preceded in death by her grandparents, Bessie and Harry Aronofsky and John and Ivanka Snidarsich; parents, Jack and Eleanor J. Aronofsky. Survived by her sister, Suzanne Aronofsky of Pueblo. Patty was one of those individuals whom everyone loved to spend time with. She was a lover of life, laughter, family and friends. She was a beloved teacher of 33 years in Pueblo School District No. 60. During her tenure, Patty was the music specialist at Bessemer, Minnequa, Lakeview and Highland Park. Patty then started to teach fourth grade at Highland Park and was so beloved that the parents and students nominated her for the Colorado Teacher Award, which she won. She then was named honorable mention as Colorado Teacher of the Year. Patty and her sister created the Bio-Buddy Program, which melded fourth-grade students with high school students. Patty's students were No. 1 in the district in science, as well as writing and reading. Many of her students have chosen the teaching profession, nursing, business, engineering and more, as they, too, wish to give back as she had taught them. Patty also did the "summer children's musical" along with Lynda Vigil and Gary Holder for many years. These musicals brought out the best of the children of Pueblo and each child was made to feel special in every way. The musicals were a work of art, talent, dance and song. Pueblo City Schools brought Patty back to be the administrator of the Gifted and Talented program, which she did for two years. During that time, the GT program never stopped and reached out to thousands of kids in our school system. During her time in office, more kids were identified as GT than ever before. Her main goal in life was to be a blessing, which she was to all who encountered her. Patty loved to give of herself to help others and those around her. A true friend to those who loved her. Patty had a very strong faith and a wonderful relationship with the Lord. He filled her heart and soul daily with joy and glory.

Ashton, Maxine Maxine (Weller) Ashton Denver Post October 11, 2007 In many ways, Maxine Ashton was a woman before her time. Born in Trinidad, CO on Jan. 16, 1921 to schoolteachers Will and Luna Weller, she was raised with her two brothers in rural eastern CO. Her family eventually moved to a ranch near Wray, CO where Maxine graduated from high school. At the age of 19, following a trend of many others, Maxine moved to the big city of Denver, where she soon joined the Central Christian Church youth group. The Central Christian Church family was an important part of her life from then on. In 1946, she married Russell Ashton, whom she had met through the Central youth group. Maxine and Russ spent their entire 62 year married life in Wheat Ridge, CO raising two children, Diane and Roger. With Diane, Maxine became involved as a Campfire Girl leader, sharing her many creative talents (sewing, knitting and cooking) with her daughter. When Roger joined a Boy Scout ski troop, Maxine pitched in to make sandwiches and hot cocoa for the weekly ski adventures. She also tirelessly tried to teach him to sew and knit ski sweaters-both ventures that didn't take. Cooking and baking lessons were, however well received. As her children got older, Maxine turned her attention to other activities, including reading, travel to Steamboat and Maui, and her avid support of CU and Bronco football. Maxine's love of sewing also led her to help organize the "Quilter's Project" at the CO Christian Home. Maxine approached everything with zeal and creativity. And when grandsons Aaron and Corey Nakai were small, she taught them peach-pit painting, apple picking and jelly-making. For the last two years, great-grandson Ashton Nakai brought great joy to Maxine whenever she was in his company. On Oct 8, 2007 with her family at her side, Maxine peacefully began her journey with the angels at Collier Lutheran Hospice. She is survived by her two brothers, loving husband Russell, children Diane and Roger, daughter-in-law Mary, grandsons Aaron and Corey, grand daughter-in-law Susan, great grandson Ashton, numerous nieces and nephews and extended family.

(Dr.) Dr. G. H. Austin Pueblo Chieftain July 15, 1919 Dr. G. H. Austin, age 50 years, died July 14 at a local hospital. Body at McCarthy's. Pueblo Chieftain July 15, 1919 Doctor Is Slain by Mexican Crime Almost Paralleling Parks-Hunter Murder Committed in Mountains A murder, almost paralleling the murder of William T. Hunter and E. C. Parks in April came to light yesterday with the death of Dr. G. H. Austin at a local hospital. Dr. Austen died of wounds received in the mountains of Huerfano County Saturday when a Mexican, reported to have been Ben Martinez, shot him through the abdomen and brutally beat him over the head with a butt end of the revolver. The attack was unprovoked and was done when Dr. Austen had befriended the Mexican and another man by taking them with him on a fishing trip into the mountains. Dr. Austin was surgeon for the Sunnyside Coal Co. at Strong, Colo., 14 miles northwest of Walsenburg. Saturday, the doctor accompanied by Martinez and, it is said by a third-party, went, in the doctor's automobile, into the mountains further north and west for a fishing trip. Shortly before reaching the propose camping site on Yellowstone Creek, the third man got out of the automobile and Martinez and Dr. Austin proceeded to the camp. Martinez got out of the automobile first and as the doctor stepped out, Martinez drew a revolver and shot the doctor through the abdomen. When the doctor fell to the ground, the Mexican beat Kimberly over the head with the butt end of the revolver, leaving the physician in an unconscious condition. Martinez then departed with the automobile. Shortly afterwards, the doctor regained consciousness. Pretended Death A few minutes later, the third man in the party came upon the scene. He kicked the body of the prostrate man, who, fearing another attack pretended he was dead. The stranger left. Then the doctor attempted to seek help. He crawled for about 100 yards that another shot rang out of the woods and the bullet struck the physician but not in an immediately vital spot. Fearing to make any further move to seek help, the doctor lay prostrate on the mountainside until Sunday morning. Just at daybreak a party of Mexicans came along, but the doctor was unable to make them understand what had happened and it was not until 10 o'clock that a rancher passed by and found the dying man. The rancher brought the doctor to Strong and he was later transferred to Walsenburg. At midnight Sunday night he was placed on a train and brought to Pueblo where he was taken to the Minnequa Hospital but died about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Murderer is Captured In the meantime, the Sheriff's office at Walsenburg got busy on the case and captured Martinez about 6 o'clock Sunday night and he is now lodged in the Huerfano County jail. Hints of mob violence are heard in Walsenburg and among the minors at Strong where the physician was well acquainted. The story of the crime was told by Dr. Austin before he died. Dr. Austin was 50 years old. He has no family although he was married and separated from his wife. He was born in Canada and his parents still reside at Lansdowne, Ontario. He has several sisters, some of whom are residing in the United States. Dr. Austin practiced medicine at Manzanola, also at Raton, New Mexico, where he was surgeon for a coal Mining Co. and more recently he was surgeon for some of the other coal companies of southern Colo. The body will be sent to Walsenburg this morning by the McCarthy Undertaking Company and an inquest will be held by the coroner of Huerfano County this afternoon. Pueblo Chieftain July 17, 1919 Mexican Held for Murder of Doctor The coroner's jury at Walsenburg yesterday held in Enstandio Martinez for the shooting of Dr. G. H. Austin, who died Monday night at Minnequa Hospital from wounds received from a gun. Dr. Austin and Martinez had been fishing, according to the story of the two witnesses to whom Dr. Austin told about the shooting, and had gone to a farmhouse to get some buttermilk, and as the two stepped out of the automobile, Martinez shot the physician through the abdomen. The two witnesses were share of E. L. Neeley and Undersheriff N. L. Coggins of Huerfano County. Martinez refused to make any statement concerning the matter, and the jury decided that the shooting was of felonious intent. Austin, J. C. J. C.

Autobee, Eric Aaron Eric Aaron Autobee - Pueblo Chieftain - October 24, 2002 - 'Short, Meaningful Life' - Two families united by history joined on Wednesday to say their last good-byes to fallen prison guard Eric Autobee. The Autobee family and the brotherhood of law enforcement that adopted Autobee on Feb. 1, 2001, when he went to work for the Colorado Department of Corrections, gathered at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Blende for his funeral. The Autobees' roots in the community reach back to the early 1800s when pioneer Charles Autobee settled in Avondale. Autobee's name also will go down in the annals of Colorado prison history as the first correctional officer to die at the hands of an inmate since 1929, when eight guards were slain during a Canon City prison riot. Autobee, 23, died a week ago at the Limon Correctional Facility, where he was employed as a kitchen supervisor. Inmate Edward Montour, 35, allegedly beat him to death with a 4 1/2-foot, metal ladle. Montour was seeking to avoid being regarded as a snitch by other inmates, according to an arrest affidavit. A makeshift knife he forged was found on another prisoner. Fearful that he would be blamed for ratting on the man caught with the knife, Montour sought to find his way out of the Limon prison and randomly selected Autobee as his target, according to the affidavit. Montour was serving a sentence of life in prison at Limon for the 1997 murder of his infant daughter in Colorado Springs. He was transferred to a maximum-security prison in Canon City after the attack on Autobee. "Every now and then, the mind of man goes berserk, and we have tragedy," said the Rev. Maurice Gallagher, trying to help a crowd of more than 1,000 mourners make some sense of the tragedy. "God does not intend to micromanage his creation." Autobee was remembered Wednesday as an avid sportsman who was quick to smile and always made time for family and friends, even as he toiled to achieve his lifetime aim of working in law enforcement. Recordings of elk calls were played at the beginning and the end of the service to mark Autobee's love for big-game hunting and the outdoors in general. A large photograph of the smiling young man was positioned at the front of the church, along with a large family picture and a heart-shaped photo-montage tribute to Autobee's memory. He graduated from Pueblo County High School in 1998, and Pueblo Community College in 2000. "(Autobee's) life was short, but his life was meaningful. It was not empty," Gallagher said. "All of us can learn from him to be available, to be ready to serve." Law enforcement agencies from Wyoming to New Mexico were represented. Gov. Bill Owens choked back tears as Autobee's parents, Bob and Lola Autobee, released doves at the conclusion of the service. Other high-ranking political figures from Colorado, including the executive director of the DOC, Joe Ortiz, also attended. From the Limon prison where Autobee worked, 225 employees were in attendance, according to DOC spokesman Alison Morgan. She said staff from other prisons volunteered to fill in for them so they could be at Autobee's funeral. Autobee's 20-year-old brother, Scott, said he looked up to his brother, and called the DOC sergeant his "guardian angel." "If I had a chance to live my life over again, I'd choose the path my brother chose," he said, announcing that he plans to pursue a career in law enforcement, too. Michelle Mojica, Autobee's longtime girlfriend, called him an affectionate man who was never shy about demonstrating his love for her or his family. She said she lost more than a boyfriend. "He was not only my boyfriend, he was my best friend, my family, my love," she said. Autobee was constantly looking to help others, Mojica said. She recalled the day that her mother died in February at age 40, and how Autobee rushed to her aid and tried to revive her. Prisoners were treated with respect by Autobee, Mojica said. "He said they were human beings, and that's how he treated them," she said. "He was very proud of his job at DOC, and he knew it was a risk." Debra Snyder first met Autobee in the academy where they learned their profession. They became friends and worked together at Limon. She recalled eating breakfast with him on the morning that he died. Snyder said Autobee was his cheerful self that day. "His smile was as big as Texas, and so was his heart," she said. Devotion to his profession was a common thread in the eulogies honoring Autobee. Snyder said guards disheartened by his death should draw inspiration from his commitment. "The best way I can honor Eric's memory is to keep on working," she said.

Autobees, Charles Charles Autobees - Silver Creek Weekly Herald - June 22, 1882 - Pueblo, June 20 - News reached here yesterday of the death of Charles Autobees, one of the oldest and best known frontiersmen in Colorado, who died at his home on the Huerfano, near Fort Reynolds, twenty miles east of Pueblo, on Saturday last, at the advanced age of 80 years. Autobees is a man with a remarkable history: He was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, which at that time, however, was a small village or trading post. He was of French extraction and was a man of commanding presence and fine physique. He came to Colorado in 1842 with a company of trappers under the command of Kit Carson, since which time this State has been his home. He stood over six feet high in his stocking feet, and for years, he was associated with Kit Carson, William Bent, Jim Baker, and other noted frontiersmen in Colorado's early history. He took an active part in all Indian wars after his arrival in the new west, and his strong arms and undaunted bravery helped to put down many an outbreak of hostile outrages, and all learned to fear his prowess. He took an active part in the Taos rebellion in 1845, and it was owing in a great measure to his skill and bravery that the insurrection was put down. He was for many years in the service of the government as Chief of Scouts during the Indian troubles on the plains, and was at one time quite well off. When the Indian outbreak occurred in 1868, he raised a company of one hundred volunteers, marched to headquarters and offered the services of himself and company, which were eagerly accepted, and he was placed in command, and his son, Mariano, was installed as first lieutenant. He performed noble and dangerous work on that campaign and was many times wounded. He was intimately acquainted with Colonel William Bent, and assisted in building Bent's old fort near where Fort Lyon now stands. His life's history would form an interesting chapter in Colorado recollections, and it is to be regretted they have not been preserved. Rocky Mountain News - June 21, 1882 - A Living Landmark Gone - Pueblo, June 20 - The old scout and pioneer, Charley Autobees, died at his ranch on the Huerfano late last evening. In his demise one of the oldest landmarks in the state has been removed. It will be remembered that he bore a conspicuous part in the famous Taos rebellion and was also time and again associated with Colonel William Bent, Kit Carson, Fremont and others.
