Body at Whiton's. Babcock, George George Babcock - Rocky Mountain News - June 11, 1881 - A Former Denverite Shot - Pueblo, May (June) 10 - Tomorrow morning's Chieftain says that yesterday about 1 o'clock Mr. George Babcock, a prominent and well-known citizen of this city, and formerly of Denver, accidentally shot himself, inflicting what is supposed to be a fatal wound, under the following circumstances. He jumped into a carriage as it passed his livery stable on Union avenue and told the driver that he wished to go to South Pueblo. After getting into the carriage he pulled a thirty-eight calibre Smith & Wesson revolver from his pocket, as he says, and began handling it rather carelessly, when the weapon went off, penetrating the left lobe of the breast just above the nipple, shattering a rib and passing in a direct line through the body, lodging in the muscles of the back just beneath the left shoulder blade, inflicting a very serious, if not fatal wound. The ball was extracted shortly after the accident and the wound dressed as quickly as possible, and at this writing the wounded man was resting quietly although but little hopes for his recovery are entertained. Rocky Mountain News - June 12, 1881 - Death of a Well Known Denverite - Pueblo, June 11 - There seems to be no doubt of the fact that instead of accidental shooting it was a deliberate attempt at suicide on the part of George Babcock, with every probability of success. About one week ago, in an effort to balance the books of the firm of which Babcock was a member, there was discovered a deficit of $900. Babcock agreed to replace this sum by Friday at noon, and finding himself unable to do so at that hour, he went into the firm's stable and wrote a note to his partner saying: “I am gone. Tell them will be back to-morrow.” He left this note on the desk and placed on top of it a valuable collar button from his shirt. It is presumed that his intention was to go off on the noon train. He hailed a passing hack, got into it and when the bridge was reached, shot himself as reported last night. At this writing Babcock is suffering intense pain, and no hope is entertained for his recovery. Later - Babcock died at 9:15 to-night. Babcock, Nellie Nellie Babcock - Rocky Mountain News - March 21, 1891 - Nellie Babcock's Death Accidental - Pueblo, Colo., March 20 - The result of the inquest over the dead body of Nellie Babcock, who was run over by a Denver and Rio Grande passenger train last evening, was that the death was accidental. No blame was attached to the company. Jakey Brown, the engineer of the passenger, said that he did not see the girls until within 300 feet of them. They were hidden from his view by the passing freight. He at once put on the brakes and whistled. Mr. Brown feels keenly over the affair, and his face was haggard from passing a sleepless night. Last night it was feared that the widowed and bereft mother would go insane, and the body was prepared by undertakers McMahon & Collier and taken to the house. The sister, Nannie, who was with Nellie when she was struck, is prostrated by the shock. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, under the direction of Undertaker Carter. The young woman was engaged to be married soon, and the gentleman purchased one of the finest of caskets for her remains.

Mr. Blakemore, funeral director. Aspen Weekly Times – June 25, 1904 – Funeral of Mrs. Babey – Sunday afternoon, the friends of Mrs. Augustine Babey assembled at the residence on North Mill street to show their respect and love to the memory of their late friend. There was a large gathering for she was known and well-loved for her social qualities and wealth of heart and mind. The services of song was a sweet consolation to the grieved hearts and uplifting to all within its harmony. The choir consisted of Messrs. Nickel, Freed and Mesdames Porter and Burrill. “Nearer My God to Thee,” “Beautiful Valley of Eden,” “Abide with Me,” bore upon its notes of sweetness an abiding peace and strength. Rev. Sylvanus Haupert spoke a few words ripe with the wisdom of the ages and filled with the ever-inflowing love of the Master, more priceless than the wealth of the Indies and picturing the continued life in each one present as to the cares of the present into an Eden of bliss. The several orders were represented. The Knights of Phythins were present, represented by Charles Wagner and Charles B. Lee, and the Red Men by Charles Simpson and A. Breach, all acting as pall bearers. The Pocahontas lodge lovingly placed upon the bier the symbol of their order, a tomahawk of flowers. The floral decorations were many and most beautiful, emblematic of a life rich in motives and self-sacrifice. At the grave where the last sacred rites were done, the pastor made a short prayer. A pleasing incident occurred at this time, when a white dove was freed, to fly up into the blue azure, symbolic of the white soul of the sister whose tabernacle of clay was laid in the ground from whence it came. The interment was at the Aspen Grove Cemetery in the family plot.

Flora will be missed by all who were touched by her love, strength and faith. She was very religious and she would make us pray the rosary everyday during lent and on any car trip (even if it was just to Pueblo)! Flora taught the Chaplain (not Catholic) how to pray the rosary too. Mom loved to teach the kids how to play "tonk" so she could take their money. She loved to watch the animal channel especially Meerkat Manor. She also watched the Rockies and the Broncos, and when she woke up she would want to know who was winning. She was a remarkable woman in that she learned how to drive in her forties and still wanted to drive in her eighties. She knew how to make a can of tomato paste stretch into two meals and fed an army of kids on very little. She loved to eat "happy meals" so she could display the toy on top of her TV. Mom loved to tell us "chistes" and riddles to see if we could get them. Later on in life she got her jokes from the kid's page in the paper. She was a character until the end. She liked George Strait and Antonio Aguilar and singing with the angels as she is now. She was feisty and stubborn, yet loving and giving. We will be lost without her. Flora is survived by 10 children: Celeste (Robert) Starling, Nancy Williams, Pete (Andrea) Baca, Emily (Larry) Sellers, Mary Hahne, Betsy (Dan) Maish, Porfy Baca, Debbie (Keith) Wood, Bernadine Baca, Chris Baca. 28 Grandchildren, 43 Great-Grandchildren, 2 great-great-granddaughters and her dear friend Rosa Febres.

Bacon, Allan James Allan James Bacon - Trinidad Times Independent - January 25, 2013 - Allan James Bacon of Trinidad died Jan. 13, 2013, after a courageous two-year battle against cancer. He was known on the Front Range and in Vermont for his beautifully crafted homes and fine furniture, honed from exotic woods as well as wood discards that he transformed into art. He worked in every medium available, including wood, glass, stone, metal, leather and antlers to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces signed AJB. Born July 25, 1946, in Sherbrooke, Quebec Province, Canada, he was the third of six children born to the late Manfred and Juliette (Gagné) Bacon. He was raised on a farm in Marlington, Quebec, with siblings Enid Letourneau, Phyllis Reed, Stephen, Elaine Burnor and Michael, all of whom live in northern Vermont and northeastern New York. From a young age, he defied danger with adventuresome exploits that combined speed, height and daring. On Dec. 12, 1963, at age 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Canadian citizen at Manchester, N.H. He completed basic training at Ft. Dix, N.J., earned his sharpshooter badge in February 1964, and trained as a communications lineman at Ft. Benning, Ga. He served 20 months overseas, beginning in March 1965 at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea, then transferring in December 1965 to Vietnam at Camp Alpha Tan Son Nhut. He was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal and Overseas Bar. He completed active duty in November 1966 and was honorably discharged In November 1969 after three more years in the U.S. Army Reserves. Mr. Bacon returned to northern Vermont and became a master carpenter, building homes and fine furnishings, mostly in Georgia, St. Albans and Burlington, and teaching his craft to his two young children, Eric and Sarah Bacon. By the mid-1980s, they joined him on his explorations of nature, fishing trips and tropical adventures. Following the destruction of Hurricane Hugo on the island of St. Thomas and Hurricane Iniki on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, he helped rebuild homes in each locale. On Mother's Day in 1993, he met his future wife, Marilyn Casey, a native of St. Louis, Mo., living on Kauai, and they moved to Santa Fe, N.M., where he continued his craft. They moved to Trinidad in 1995, built a mountaintop home together and opened Art for Living, a shop on Trinidad's Main Street in 1999, where he also taught stained glass classes. From 1995 until his illness, he built and remodeled homes and commercial buildings on Colorado's Front Range and created custom furnishings and fine art. As an adult, he continued to express his daring nature in snow skiing, water skiing, swimming, wind surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving. A creative and prolific powerhouse, he advised adopting a forgiving attitude toward imperfections, “If you can't hide it, accent it.” He was endlessly inquisitive, and his keen powers of observation, patience and persistence made him a great trout fisherman, explorer and teacher to many. In addition to his five siblings, Mr. Bacon is survived by his wife, Marilyn Casey; the mother of his children, Kathleen (Gardner) Viens of Hobe Sound, Fla.; his two children, Eric (Jessica) Bacon of Jeffersonville, Vt., and Sarah Bacon (Heather Weseloh) of Arvada; four grandchildren, Mia, Andre (aka “Cactus Pete”), Timothy and Luke Bacon; and 17 nieces and nephews.

Anna was born to Italian immigrants, Charles and Domenica Maglia in Starkville, a small coal-mining town near Trinidad where her family lived for most of her early childhood. She was the valedictorian of her graduating class at Hoehne High School in a small agricultural community near Trinidad. She earned her B.A. degree at Colorado State Teachers College, Greeley, and received her Master's in Education degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She was a lifelong educator humbly beginning her career in one-room country schools in Apishapa, Model, and Chicosa, all small communities near Trinidad. In 1940, she married William R. “Bill” Smith and was blessed with two sons, Roger, born in 1941, and Kenneth, born in 1944. Bill was a flight instructor with the Army Air Corps during World War II and was stationed at various locations in Texas where their son Kenneth was born. Following the war, Bill returned to his job with Colorado Interstate Gas Company and the family lived in company-owned housing in “booster stations” along natural gas pipelines near Trinidad, and subsequently in other locations in Colorado, Texas, and Kansas. Anna taught school in all of those locations. Morton County Station, 19 miles north of Elkhart, Kan., became home for the family from 1954 until Bill's unexpected sudden death in 1965. Anna particularly treasured the time when she taught English, Literature, and Speech in the high school in Elkhart where she served as a role model for both students and faculty. Following Bill's sudden death, she returned to her hometown, Trinidad, and the love and support of her family of origin, where she began the later chapter of her teaching career at Trinidad State Junior College as a professor of English and Literature. God blessed her with a new love and she married Leland C. Bacus in 1967 becoming the loving stepmother of Leland B. Bacus and Paul Bacus. After Leland passed away in 1996, she later relocated to Cupertino, Calif., residing in the Forum at Rancho San Antonio Retirement Community to live closer to her sons in California. Anna was involved in many organizations including P.E.O. Sisterhood - Chapter J, American Association of University Women, Business and Professional Women, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and the University of Colorado Alumni Association. She was recognized as one of its outstanding alumni in 1987. She was devoted to her Catholic faith throughout her life. She joyfully celebrated her 100th birthday on Easter weekend with her entire family traveling from various parts of the country to be with her. At that celebration, she was presented with accolades from the presidents of the University of Colorado, the Ohio State University, Trinidad State Junior College, and President Obama. The mayor of the city of Trinidad also honored her with a proclamation naming March 29, 2013, as Anna Maglia Smith Bacus Day. She was delighted that on July 28, 2012, her Maglia/Guglielmotto family was recognized by the Trinidad Historical Society as one of Las Animas County's Century Families. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Domenica (Minnie) Maglia, her first husband, William “Bill” Smith (1965), her second husband, Leland C. Bacus (1996), brothers, Dominic “Red” (1960) and Paul Maglia (2003), and stepson, Leland B. Bacus (1996).

Bailey, Michael Alan Michael Alan Bailey - Pueblo Chieftain - July 13, 2013 - Facebook 'notifies' family of death - Michael Bailey died at Parkview Medical Center after being shot about 11:40 p.m. Monday in the 100 block of Creston Drive. Both police and the coroner said the shooting was "tragic" and accidental. What happened after the shooting also was a nightmare, the family said. Mother Veronica Eitemiller said her son went to a neighboring party with a gun he was given by his great-grandfather. She said the family thought the gun wasn't functional but "it was kids partying and doing what they shouldn't had been doing." Police say drugs and alcohol were possible factors. Stepfather Dale Eitemiller said the incident happened at a house around the corner from where they live. Police did not contact the victim's family at home; requests by the family for information at Parkview were unsuccessful; and response from the coroner was slow, the mother said. The Eitemillers said their youngest child had learned of the shooting after seeing "RIP" posts for Bailey on Facebook. "Between the police, the coroner and Parkview, no one contacted next of kin. No one," Veronica Eitemiller said. "I just don't want anyone else to go through this." Police Chief Luis Velez said officers initially were sent to the family home. "As I understand it, we had two officers that were assigned to go over to the house. When they went over, a sergeant stopped them from making a notification based on some information he thought that would conflict with the investigation. "The end result was we did not contact the mother. Other than that, I can't tell you why. If I was in her shoes, I'd be frustrated as well," said Velez. He added that his command staff is looking into why officers didn't contact the family and what can be done in future cases. "I'm not sure why we did not notify her, particularly since they were in such close proximity to the scene. So we have to get down to the bottom of that and discuss how we go about these things in the future," he said. Velez and Veronica Eitemiller said Bailey was alive when he was taken to the hospital. Michelle Peulen, a Parkview spokeswoman, said Bailey's identification was not readily available when he arrived. "Parkview is currently investigating this matter to see how we can enhance our procedures. Michael was brought in as a John Doe and our top priority was to save his life," she said. Once he was identified, Peulen said Bailey's emergency contact information — he had been a previous Parkview patient — was accessed, but those phone numbers were no longer in service. Peulen said that when Bailey died, the coroner took custody of his body and, at that point, he was no longer listed as a patient. "Regrettably, he wasn't listed as a patient in the system at the time, so we didn't have information to pass on to his mother," she said. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said his office followed normal procedure of notifying next of kin. Kramer said he was notified of the death at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. "We followed our procedure in that he arrived at the hospital, he was a patient at the hospital, we were notified and I told them what steps to take for securing his body and to make sure they contact next of kin," Kramer said. "I followed up on it when I got to the office and when I found out that (notification) had not been accomplished; I took necessary steps to put things in action. By the time I got confirmation about next of kin, (the mother) was at the police station." Veronica Eitemiller and the coroner said detectives at the station notified her of her son's death. Kramer said one of the detectives, who also is a deputy coroner, was part of that process. "I want to know how this was missed by so many people. I want to know why my son died alone. I could've had one more hour with him," she said. "I didn't know if my son was dead or alive." Bailey would have been 19 on Wednesday. A funeral service is planned for 6 p.m. Tuesday at Romero Funeral Home. Pueblo Chieftain - July 14, 2013 - Michael Alan Bailey, 18, of Pueblo, went to be with the Lord on July 9, 2013.

Baird - Huerfano Journal - March 22, 2012 - by Nancy Christofferson - On March 15, 1916, one of Walsenburg's early and innovative settlers died, leaving a void where a clever and thoughtful man had been for 30 years. Dr. Thomas D. Baird was born in Kentucky in 1850. He came from an educated family, and spent his younger years getting that way himself. His mind encompassed many ideas in many fields far beyond medicine. T.D.'s father was Professor H.D. Baird, and his mother was a longtime teacher for whom Baird College in Clinton, Missouri was named, and of which she was president. What attraction a dusty frontier town too full of saloons like Walsenburg held for a promising young man is hard to imagine, but T.D. and his wife, the former Sarah Emily Barrett, called Emily, moved to the 'burg in 1886 after living in Pueblo for a few years. The couple had two daughters, Jessie T. and (believe it or not) Chattiebelle. Another daughter had succumbed at a young age. Dr. Baird was elected county superintendent of schools in 1887, so he had made an impact on the county in one short year. Apparently his first job in Huerfano County was being the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's official surgeon for its coal mines at Walsen, Old Rouse and Pictou. He soon entered a partnership with Dr. D.W Mathews, which lasted about six years. In 1888 Baird was elected trustee of the Town of Walsenburg. In this position he undoubtedly voted in favor of the ordinance banning “opium houses, dives or joints” in 1889. He was president of the Tourist City Addition which was selling real estate adjacent to the city. Later the same year he was one of the organizers, officers and shareholders of the new Walsenburg Electric Light and Power Company (and on the town board when it passed the ordinance against hitching horses to electrical poles). There were 350 shares selling at $100 each to provide electricity to the city. During October 1889 Baird and Mathews moved into new offices (their old adobe one had fallen down) where, possibly because of the stocks he'd bought, they had two electric lights. That November he won his second term as county school superintendent as a Democrat. Most of the downtown area then sported wooden sidewalks. Dr. Baird had his own concrete walks constructed around his office, and was instrumental in getting the town to install like sidewalks all along Main Street, and to the passenger train depots. When the brand spanking new Cole and Kearns Block was completed in 1893, Baird and Mathews moved there. They had their old office put onto wheels and moved to another site for use as a dwelling. Baird and Mathews dissolved their partnership in 1894, but retained side by side offices. Baird was also serving as a director on the District #4, Walsenburg, school board. In this capacity he helped to plan the opening of the Huerfano County High School, which graduated its first (three) students in 1897. His own daughters had attended school elsewhere, possibly back in Missouri. He was still employed by CF&I and serving on town council. In 1899 Baird was elected mayor, and he was re-elected in 1901. By 1902 T.D. had served as mayor and on the town council for 14 years. In this year CF&I chose his architectural plans for the new school in Pictou coal camp. He even superintended construction. The company liked his plan so well it built an identical building in Hezron camp. In fact, the company liked him, and arranged for him to give educational lectures and presentations in the various camps under the auspices of its Sociological Department. 1903 brought highs and lows for the doctor. In February, he received a patent for his invention called a Miner's Handy Match Box, for safety matches, but in May his home burned down. This unfortunate turn of events was caused by the lack of a functional water system in the town. A bucket brigade hauling from the Colorado and Southern Railroad tanks and the town ditch saved the furnishings and nearby buildings. That July he made a heroic trip to see a patient on Mosca Pass, a one way trip of some 50 miles. In 1904 Pliny P. Lester graduated from medical school and entered a partnership with the now venerable Dr. Baird. They moved to new offices at 118 E. 5th in 1906. Dr. Baird was elected a regent of Colorado State University in 1904. He served a six year term. Baird had been living on 4th Street, but had to move when a hotel planned construction on the site. He built, and probably drew the plans for, a six or seven room house – considered large in those days – on Indiana Avenue. In July 1907, the newspaper noted Dr. Baird had been awarded a rather signature honor. He was given a bridle by Chief Ouray for having cured Ouray's son of smallpox back in 1881. On March 4, 1908, a school in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, burned down, claiming 176 lives. Baird immediately turned his attention to adding fire escapes to local school buildings. He also saw to it that school doors swung outwards rather than in, a small measure that could have saved many of those young lives in Ohio. Also in 1908 Baird was vice president of the World Publishing Company, owners of the Walsenburg World. He was a director of the Huerfano County High School board and still a town trustee. He moved his household once again in 1909 when he purchased a home at Harrison and Kansas Avenue. Though it seems standard nowadays, he set a precedent that year by installing hot water in his office. As a victim of a home fire, and a member of the town council, he no doubt was vocal for building a water system. In 1905 much of the downtown area had pipes and service, and by 1907 the pipes had reached up Capitol Hill, though service remained sporadic. When in May 1910 the Huerfano County Medical Society was organized, Baird was elected president. About this time Dr. Baird began slowing down. His daughters had married, Jessie to David T. Wycoff in 1897, and Chattiebelle to George C. Nickolds in 1907, and both were living elsewhere. His old friend Dr. P.P. Lester, having served with the Colorado National Guard on maneuvers along the Mexican border in 1911 against Pancho Villa, was called back to service during the coal strike of 1913-14. On April 29, 1914, during the Battle of Walsenburg, Dr. Lester was shot and killed while wearing his Red Cross badge. This must have been a shock to Dr. Baird, after their years of camaraderie and business partnership. Dr. T.D. Baird died March 15, 1916. At the time of his death, he was mayor of Walsenburg and president of the HCHS board. He is buried in the Masonic Cemetery. He must have been sorely missed. Baker, Alexis T. Alexis T.

Baker, Mattie Mattie Baker – Pueblo Chieftain – July 2, 1918 – Mrs. Mattie Baker Disappeared from Pueblo Six Weeks Ago – Mystery surrounds the murder and the burial of the body of Mrs. Mattie Baker, a rooming house keeper at Northern and Evans Avenues. The body was found half buried in an arroyo near Eden and just off the Colo. Springs Road. She had been murdered and her assailants apparently had used a blunt instrument of some sort because the 4 head was crushed by the blow. The body was discovered by 2 Mexican section hands, Ferme Alla and José Oteras, about 7 o'clock yesterday morning. The automobile highway is close to the railroad tracks in the 2 men were on their way to work. Their attention was called to the spot by the odor of a decaying body. The 2 men went to the place and found the woman's body which at first appeared as the body of a man wrapped in a blanket. The body had been placed in the arroyo and dirt from the bank above thrown down upon it. Recent rains caused some of the dirt to be carried away and the body was partially disclosed. The 2 men notified the section foreman at Eden who in turn notified the police department about 8 o'clock. Officer McDonald went to the scene in the patrol wagon, stopping at Davis & Vories undertaking parlors to notify the Coroner, Dr. Ray Taylor. Ray Chamberlain, an employee at Davis & Vories, accompanied McDonald to the scene. After considerable work they removed all of the dirt from the woman's body and after a careful search for possible clues to the identity of the murderer or murderers, brought the body to the Davis & Vories morgue where a careful examination was made. While it is believed that the body was that of Mrs. Baker, she was not positively identified until 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon when Mary Smith, a close friend of the dead woman, went to the morgue and positively identified the body as that of Mrs. Baker. It is probable that the crime was committed 6 weeks or more ago. Mrs. Baker has not been seen in Pueblo since 6 weeks ago and friends shortly after her disappearance notified the police department. There are several possible theories as to how and why the woman was murdered all of the Police Department and County Sheriff's office have no definite clues. On March 9, Officer Gordon, who was on the night shift in Bessemer, was called in to the rooming house operated by Mrs. Baker and asked to arrest an Italian who was creating a disturbance. When the officer went to the door of the man's room, the Italian bolted out of the door firing a revolver at Gordon as he did so. Gordon was shot and dangerously wounded and it was thought for some time that he would not recover. It was Mrs. Baker who called the officer to the house and she later after much cross-examination by the police admitted that the Italian went under the name of Charles Falcone, and that she had been living with him. Since that time the police have been in endeavoring to apprehend Falcone on a charge of assault to murderer Officer Gordon. It is possible that the Italian later returned to the rooming house and killed the proprietress and took her body to the isolated spot and buried it. It is said that when the woman was last seen she was entertaining 2 men in her room and intoxicating liquors were indulged in. It is possible that it was on this night that the woman was murdered. It is also reported that the 2 men were Italians. There is another possibility in the case. It is known that the woman was a frequenter of road houses and the body was found about a mile this side of the road house operated by a man by the name of Vence and which the District Court ordered closed by an edict issued Saturday. It is possible that the woman was at the roadhouse prior to her death and was killed there and the body removed to the arroyo for burial. Then again it may be that she was taken to the scene of the crime and the burial of the body on the way to or from the roadhouse, there slain and the body disposed of. The motive for the murder is unknown. One motive might have been money as it was said that Mrs. Baker always carried from $100 to $150 with her all of the time. There were no papers or money found on the body and her friend Mary Smith declared that Mrs. Baker usually carried her money and valuable papers in her stocking. The authorities found one stocking pulled down over the shoe while the other was in his proper place thus leading them to believe that the murderer or murderers took the money from the stocking which was found pulled down. Another motive for the crime may be revenge on the part of Falcone, the Italian who shot Officer Gordon. Falcone may have taken the woman's life because she called a policeman, thus putting a price on his head after he fired the bullets that so seriously wounded the officer. The murdered woman was about 40 years of age. She had been married 3 times. Her first husband was a man by the name of Harris. Her second was named Collins. Pueblo Chieftain – July 3, 1918 – Little New Light Thrown on Murder of Mrs. Mattie Baker – Theory that Mattie Baker, the Northern Avenue rooming house keeper whose body was found in an arroyo a few miles north of the city yesterday morning, was murdered by Charles Falcone himself, has fewer converts than at first. Falcone knows that he is being hunted by the officers of this vicinity as well as those in all the neighboring cities and towns for the shooting of Police Officer Gordon; he probably knows through friends that there is a standing reward of $400 for his capture; he also knows that his missing ear and his various scars make him a marked man wherever his description has gone. That he should come back to kill the woman who had jilted him for a Greek, or anyone else, seems improbable. However it is not considered improbable that he had friends who for money, and for revenge would commit a crime for their friend. Add this to the statement that a woman who is alleged to have known the dead woman well, and who says Mattie Baker told her the evening of her disappearance that she was "going out with a couple of Dagoes," leads some of the investigators to believe some of Falcone's friends lured her away from home and killed her. The statement of Frank Vence, the roadhouse keeper, while first under arrest yesterday by the Sheriff's officers, and under examination by French Taylor, evidence collector of the District Attorney's Office, that on the night the woman disappeared she was at his place with 2 Americans, is not given much credit as to the nationality of her company at least; however, Vence is being held as a witness. Coroner Taylor empanneled and swore in a jury for investigation yesterday morning, but the jury adjourned until a later date this week, in the hope that more light can be thrown on the mystery in the later. The funeral was held yesterday, as the body was so badly decomposed that interment was necessary without unnecessary delay. It has been stated that while Falcone was living with Mattie Baker at her rooming house, he paid $250 on her furniture, and that when she told him he was to be shaken for the Greek in question, he became enraged, and the quarrel this caused brought about her calling Officer Gordon who was seriously wounded by Falcone, who then fled, and has not been seen since by any of the army of officers and many others looking anxiously for him. Jack Collins, the woman's former husband, against whom she testified in a trial that resulted in his being sent to the penitentiary, has not been seen in the vicinity since his sentence was served and he released. Officers who knew him well have been cudgeling their brains to see if they can recall observing him since his release; this for the reason that he is alleged to have threatened to kill Mattie Baker as soon as he was released. Therefore, while there are theories and other theories as to who killed Mattie Baker, there are none apparently more tenable apparently, than that she was murdered by friends of Falcone, at his instance. Pueblo Chieftain – July 3, 1918 – The funeral of Mrs. Mattie Baker took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock from Davis-Vories Chapel. Interment was in Mountain View Cemetery. Pueblo Chieftain – July 4, 1918 – No New Developments – There are no new developments in the Mattie Baker murder case, except that Frank Vence, the former roadhouse keeper who was arrested and quiz as to what he might know about the case, has been released from the county jail; he is already under a $500 bond to appear for trial on charge of having liquor for sale. Sheriff's office force has been and is working hard to run down all the clues to be found, and the inquest will probably be held tomorrow afternoon. Pueblo Chieftain – July 10, 1918 – An inquest will be held today by the coroner's jury in the case of Mattie Baker, whose dead body was found north of Pueblo a week ago Monday. The jury is summoned to meet at 4 o'clock at the Davis & Vories Undertaking Parlors. Pueblo Chieftain – July 11, 1918 – Dead Woman Got Threatening Letter – Interesting developments may come out of a coroner's inquest held yesterday into the cause of the death of Mrs. Mattie Baker, whose body was found in a ravine, 2 miles north of Pueblo, July 1. Lige Forrest, a brother of the dead woman, testified that shortly before the woman disappeared she showed him a letter containing threats against her life. Forrest, who left the next day for Ore., and returned here when word was received of her death, claims he might be able to identify the man who wrote the letter but does not know his name. Even with this evidence, the jury, which held forth in the parlors of the Davis & Vories Undertaking Company, brought in a verdict of "death at the hands of parties unknown to the jury."

Dave passed peacefully and with ease, surrounded by his loved ones, both near and far. Dave Baldwin was born July 23, 1925 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Maurice and LaRissa “Abigee” Baldwin. After graduating from Classen High School, Dave joined the Army Air Corps where he served from 1943-1945. Shortly thereafter, Dave studied geology at the University of Oklahoma while concurrently designing and developing Baldwin Estates in Oklahoma City with his father. In 1957 he married the love of his life, Dianne (Diney) and, eleven years later, they, along with their four children, moved to Cuchara, CO where they purchased the Cuchara Country Store and embarked on their new lives together. During his 46 years in the valley, Dave, alongside Dianne, owned, operated, built, and managed a number of businesses in the area, including The Cuchara Country Store, The Dog Bar, the Timbers, and La Veta Lumber. When he wasn't building homes and running businesses, Dave was digging for gold in the mountains, wheeling and dealing in antiques, and, in his later years, hotwiring his golf cart for a quick drive around town. “Full speed ahead in any direction! I used to have direction, but now it's just full speed ahead!” Dave had a positive attitude and an open heart and there were truly no strangers in his life. He is remembered by friends, family, and employees alike as a warm, welcoming soul who always had time to offer a greeting, support, guidance, or just a few kind words. His two words to live by were “ forgiveness and acceptance”. Dave was preceded in death by his parents, Maurice and LaRissa; his brother, Charles; and his wife, Dianne. He is survived by his sister, Marilynn Hopkins; his four children, Daniel Baldwin, Brent Baldwin, LaRissa Morris, and Louise (Chip) Graef; five grandchildren, Annalee (Russell) Hickey, Alicia Morris, Nicole (Brent) Sudderth, Justin Baldwin, and Megan Thacker; five great-grandchildren, Kaden, Carson, Lydia, Nevaeh, and Lillian; his nieces and nephews, David, LaRissa, Lynn, Edward, Bill, Tom, John, Michael, and JJ; his brother-in-law Marc Armstrong; and a lifetime's worth of friends.

The third of Grace and Howard Barber's six sons, he and his family survived a tornado in 1935 that decimated their house and farm. Roger narrowly missed WWII service on Iwo Jima, due to a life-threatening accident that burned him and his dad severely. By the time he was healed enough to regain the use of his arms and hands, the Allies were victorious and his paratrooper training was not in great demand when he served as a soldier in occupied Japan. Between his military training and his deployment, Roger met Rowena Armstrong at a 4-H dance. They married on the fourth anniversary of V-Day, June 6, 1948. One aspect of his career that Roger mentioned was that he installed the first set of tubeless tires in the state of Kansas when he worked for B.F. Goodrich of Wellington. He spent most of his career as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Kansas City, before eventually retiring to Phoenix. He had extended visits to Walsenburg and spent his final years on his son's ranch near Pryor, where he was available as a gardening consultant and enjoyed annual brandings with the Vezzani clan. His reputation as a kind and honorable gentleman of sterling character persisted to his last breath. Earth was better for his presence and he will be greatly missed. Roger is survived by Rowena and three of their children: Roger, Jr. (Jeanette) of Wheatland, WY, Elizabeth (Don) Henderson of Buckeye, AZ, and Bob (Shelley) Barber of Walsenburg. Eldest daughter, LaVera (Gerry) last preceded Roger in death in 2005. Roger and Rowena were blessed with seven grandchildren and additional "greats." Other surviving relatives are his younger brothers Paul (Dottie) Barber of Nacogdoches, TX, and Warren (Sue) Barber of Ft. Worth, TX.

John Barger - Pueblo Chieftain - September 1, 2012 - Law Enforcement Deaths - Air mission turns tragic - Sheriff's deputy, retired cop killed in crash - A Pueblo County Sheriff's deputy and a retired Pueblo police officer died Friday in a plane crash in the San Isabel National Forest. The duo had been surveilling the forest searching for illegal marijuana grows when their plane went down near St. Charles Peak, Sheriff Kirk Taylor said. “We're all pretty devastated,” a dejected Taylor told the media late Friday. Officials did not release the names of the victims, but The Chieftain has learned they are Sheriff's Capt. Leide DeFusco and John Barger, a retired police captain. DeFusco's Facebook page was flooded with condolences and well-wishes for his family. His biography on the sheriff's website said he was a 21-year law enforcement veteran with both the county and city. DeFusco was head of the patrol division, Colorado State University-Pueblo patrol and the narcotics unit. DeFusco was preparing to leave for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Academy. Barger retired from the police department in 2009 after a 32-year career. He retired as captain of investigations. A flying enthusiast, Barger was piloting the plane when it went down. Merle Manweiler is a fellow pilot and friend who knew Barger well. “John died doing the two things he loved most in life - being a cop and flying an airplane. That says it all,” Manweiler said. “The Pueblo airport won't be the same without him.” On Aug. 15, law enforcement raided two illegal marijuana plantations in the Wet Mountains. Barger and DeFusco were flying the mountain range searching for additional grows. Taylor said contact was lost with the airplane, a single-engine Piper Super Cruiser, about 9:40 a.m. At 7:11 p.m., rescue crews found the smoldering wreckage, about four or five miles below St. Charles Peak on national forest land in Custer County. Taylor said the plane wrecked in steep, rugged terrain and that as many as 60 search and rescuers from the sheriff's office, Custer and Fremont counties, the forest service and FBI were on hand. A Flight for Life helicopter was used to locate the wreck and transport people into the crash area. “I can tell you manpower was easy. With that much we could've moved the mountain,” Taylor said. The cause of the wreck was not known. Taylor said investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board were expected to arrive this morning, when recovery efforts resume. Pueblo Chieftain - September 2, 2012 - Aviation Deaths - 'Not many guys like those two' - Law enforcement mourns loss from plane crash - Pueblo's law enforcement community was in mourning and disbelief Saturday at the loss of two of their own in a plane crash. Kind, professional, dedicated, good-humored were words friends and colleagues used to describe Capts. Leide DeFusco and John Barger, who died when their plane went down Friday in the San Isabel National Forest. The men were surveilling forest in the Rye and San Isabel area for illegal marijuana grows. “It's going to leave such a void,” former Pueblo Police Chief Jim Billings said. “In the case of both men, they were just really dedicated to law enforcement. I knew them both to be very good friends. I had a lot respect for both of them, for being outstanding law enforcement professionals all around.” DeFusco, 43, was a captain with the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office and the police department before that, a career that spanned 22 years. He is survived by a wife and four children. Barger, 63, retired from the police department in 2009 after 32 years. Both worked together at the police department and had served on the department's SWAT team, Barger as the unit's captain and DeFusco as an officer. Charlene Graham is a bureau chief with the sheriff's office and a former deputy chief with the police department. She worked with both men throughout her lengthy career. “I'm going to miss the heck out of them,” Graham said. “Both of them, they were tactical people. They were the run-and-play kind of officers. They always wanted to get in on the action. I would go into any tactical situation with them.” Graham said both men had warm spots for their families. ''One night I called Leide at home about something and I said 'Can you talk?' He says 'Well I'm brushing (his daughter) Amanda's hair. Can I call you in about five minutes?' I mean, here's this tactical guy brushing his little girl's hair. He was truly a family man.'' Barger was a prankster who had fun with his colleagues, Graham said, but he also was giving. On numerous occasions he donated free plane rides to be auctioned off for the Boys & Girls Club, an organization Graham works with. ''I cant' tell you how many free plane rides he gave me for Boys & Girls Club. He never took a penny for it. He said 'I enjoy flying and I'm happy to do it,' '' Graham said. Eric Bravo is a captain with the police department who worked with DeFusco and Barger. “There's not many guys like those two in law enforcement today. It's a hard thing for everyone to deal with,” he said. “Leide, he was just a heck of a nice guy. He'd pick up the phone in the middle of the night and do whatever you needed. John, he was a man's man. Back in the day, he was probably one of the toughest guys down (at the department). Both of them were just great guys, certainly going to be missed by everyone who knew them.” DeFusco was head of the sheriff's patrol division, Colorado State University-Pueblo patrol and the narcotics unit. In the latter, DeFusco was one of the key figures in the Aug. 15 raid on two illegal pot grows near San Isabel. The bust, which yielded 13,735 plants, is the largest in Pueblo County history and one of the biggest ever in the state. As follow up, DeFusco and Barger, a pilot, were searching for additional grows Friday in the Wet Mountains. “Actually, John was due in to my dad's shop (Saturday) to work on some parts for the plane he was building,” Bravo said. “He always referred to my dad as Mr. Bravo. That was the level of respect he had for his elders.” Juan Espinosa, a former editor and crime reporter for The Pueblo Chieftain, knew Barger professionally and personally. “I knew John as head of narcotics unit and head of investigations. He was always straightforward and helpful. He'd help you do your job, if it was something he could do,” Espinosa said. Barger took Espinosa flying once to capture aerial footage for the “Song of Pueblo Oratorio,” an entertainment production Espinosa is involved with in his retirement. Barger's name is listed in the production's credits. ''It was at Jim Billings' retirement party where I saw John, and we had both retired, and I told him about the 'Song of Pueblo' and he told me about his flying. I told him I'd love some pictures from the air and one day I got a call from John Barger and he says 'Let's go flying,' '' Espinosa recalled. “We flew over the same area John was flying in Friday. We flew over Pueblo, the Wet Mountains, the Sand Dunes, the San Luis Valley. It's just tragic. He even discussed his strategy if he encountered trouble in (the mountains). It's just bizarre. When I fly again, it won't be without thinking about John Barger.” Espinosa said he and Barger had been planning a flight to Wyoming so he could shoot photos of Indian artifacts. Flying and law enforcement aside, Barger enjoyed boxing. He was a gold glove boxer who grew up in Oklahoma and Ordway. “You wouldn't think he was a boxer by looking at him (Barger was a slender 6-foot-5), but he could box,” Bravo said. “He sparred (Denver's) Ron Lyle once and Lyle went on to fight Ali.” DeFusco's roots are in Pueblo law enforcement. His grandfather was a Pueblo cop from the 1940s through the 1960s, according to a police department yearbook. He has a brother and sister who are Pueblo police officers and his father-in-law, Gus Sandstrom, is a former Pueblo district attorney. Sandstrom posted this on his Facebook about De-Fusco and Barger: “Leide DeFusco was my friend, my son-in-law and a great father. He loved his role as a law enforcement officer. John Barger, too, was a career officer who served because it was his dedication to duty. Please keep them in your prayers along with their wives and children.” Billings recalled De-Fusco's personal approach and leadership as president of the police union. “One of the things that really impressed me was when he served as union president, he was extremely professional and he would come in and talk and we always resolved issues just by sitting down and talking,” Billings said. “He always had the best interest of the officers in mind in everything he did.” On Saturday DeFusco's name was added to the Officer Down Memorial website. Pueblo Chieftain - September 2, 2012 - Bodies recovered from mountainside - Law enforcement spent Saturday recovering two of their own from plane wreckage in the San Isabel National Forest. Pueblo County Sheriff's Capt. Leide DeFusco and retired Pueblo police Capt. John Barger died Friday when their plane, a single engine Piper Super Cruiser, went down in the Wet Mountains. The two had been searching for additional illegal marijuana plantations after two large grows were raided near San Isabel on Aug. 15. Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor said alpine teams, including coroners from Pueblo and Custer counties, were able to recover the bodies Saturday in steep, rugged terrain. “We got them out, we recovered our people and now their families, and families in law enforcement, can put them to rest,” Taylor said late Saturday. Numerous officers and family of the victims held a brief prayer service at the sheriff's command post once the bodies were brought down. Taylor said the wreckage remained on the mountain and could be removed in the coming days. The wreck is about a mile from the Cisneros Trailhead. According to radio scanner traffic, officials with the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration had also arrived and began conducting their investigation. Preliminary results as to what may have caused the crash were not available. The men lost radio contact about 9:40 a.m. Friday. The wreckage was later discovered at 7:11 p.m. about four or five miles below St. Charles Peak. Pueblo Chieftain - September 3, 2012 - Capt. John Barger, (Ret.) Arrangements pending.

Barnard and Harry Hilvitz Instantly Killed – In trying to negotiate a treacherous turn on the Rye Road, 21 miles south of Pueblo near Abbey, late yesterday noon, I. Letter in. Barnard, prominent Fowler cattleman miscalculated the distance and drove the car into an arroyo, causing the instant death of himself and companion, Harry Hilvitz of Pueblo. Their bodies were torn in mangled by the wreckage of the car, which is said to be a total loss. The accident occurred near the "21-mile post," where the road takes a turn almost at right angles when it crosses a bridge over a steep arroyo. Coming down the road at a terrific rate of speed, Barnard either did not know of the turn or thought he could make it at high speed, and was caught unawares before he could apply the brakes and bring the car to a slower speed. It left the road and plunged over the side of the arroyo before the men could realize their fate and make an attempt to save themselves. The arroyo is 25 feet deep and the nose of the car was buried several inches into the earth at its bottom where it turned over, completely burying the two men. The crash the car into the arroyo was distinctly heard some distance away by Art C. Patterson and William A. Finley, who upon hearing the crash, rushed to the arroyo where they extricated the two men. Both were dead before they arrived on the scene. Coroner Dr. Ray Taylor was notified and hastened to the scene and after an investigation ordered the body's removed to the Davis & Vories morgue in this city. The two men had been into the Rye district on business and were evidently hurrying back to Pueblo in order to reach their respective homes before nightfall. Barnard was 49 years old and for years has been prominent in the cattle business of southern Colo. For a number of years he resided at Fountain where he conducted a large ranch. He is a brother of the late T. J. Barnard, who died early this year, and for several years has had charge of his brother's ranching properties near Fowler, which are numbered among the largest in the Arkansas Valley.

Barnard - Pueblo Chieftain – January 20, 1917 – Death Claims T. J. Barnard, Wealthy Fowler Resident – Death yesterday claimed T. J. Barnard, 54 years old, pioneer of Colo. and a distinguished and influential resident of Fowler for the past 30 years, after an illness of one year. Mr. Barnard, banker, stockman, farmer, and head of several of the large irrigation projects of the section of Colo. east of Pueblo, died in San Diego, Calif., where he had been for the past 6 months, hoping to regain his health. One year ago Mr. Barnard attended the annual livestock show at Denver, contracted a cold, and soon after began to decline. He came to Pueblo and spent several months at the Minnequa Hospital. Failing to regain his former robust health, Mr. Barnard, under the care of the nurse, went to Calif. where he remained until the end came yesterday. At the time of his health failed him, Mr. Barnard was president of the First National Bank of Fowler; president of the Arkansas Valley Ditch Association; president of the Oxford Farmers' Ditch Association and head of various other organizations. He had various interests, including farms, ranches, and livestock, in addition to business interests in the town of Fowler. Mr. Barnard served Fowler as Mayor for two terms and during that time he did much for the town. It was under the regime of Mr. Barnard and largely through the influence he wielded, that the town secured electric lights, a park, better streets, and numerous other permanent advantages. He was vitally interested in the town where he made his home for so many years and the town in return always looked up to him as a leading spirit in any move for the betterment of the community. He rendered aid in securing numerous of the commercial advantages enjoyed by the town. Mr. Barnard was a particularly active, far-seeing business man and was one of the wealthiest residents of the Fowler district. He had an unusual capacity for work and in addition put his efforts in directions that almost invariably yielded handsome profits. He was progressive to a marked degree. His business was conducted always along the most approved lines, and on his farms are found the very latest devices for saving time and work and making possible the maximum returns. On his farm east of Fowler he installed the finest irrigation pumping system in that section of the state. Characteristic – One of Mr. Barnard's predominating traits is illustrated by a small detail in connection with his construction of the pumping plant, which was admirably housed in a cement-lined building. Extending from the plant was a ditch, of concrete, resting on the surface of the land. The sides of the ditch were about two and one-half feet high, but the canal could be easily scaled by a man. However, Mr. Barnard ordered constructed a cement covering for the canal with steps leading to the top on each side, at a point where it often was desirable to cross to get from the road to the pumping plant. A friend chided Mr. Barnard for his pains, asking him jokingly if he was getting too old to climb over the ditch. The financier replied: "No, I can get across as easily as anyone, but if I did not provide that handy little crossing I might tear, say, just one pair of pants, ruining a suit of clothes. Those steps cost me only $15." Mr. Barnard was a member of the Masons, Elks, and Odd Fellows lodges. Thirty-five years ago Mr. Barnard came to Colo., locating with his father on a ranch fourteen miles north of Fowler. Five years later he went to Pueblo. He leaves a brother, J. M. Barnard, a farmer, residing near Fowler; a sister, Mrs. Alice Steele of Pueblo; a sister, Mrs. William Campbell of Holbrook, Colo., and two sisters, Amy and Nan, living in Calif. His mother lives in Calif. A cousin, W. T. Barnard lives at Fowler. The body will be brought to Pueblo for interment.

Barndollar, Catherine Catherine Barndollar – Pueblo Chieftain – January 24, 1919 – Mrs. Ferd Barndollar Is Seriously Sick – A telegram was received Wednesday morning by Dr. E. W. Varley from his wife, who is with her mother, Mrs. Ferd Barndollar, in Santa Monica, Calif., stating that Mrs. Barndollar, who underwent an operation at a local hospital last week, was sinking and it was feared she would not survive the shock. Not receiving any further word, Dr. Varley became anxious and wired his wife yesterday morning for further details. He received a reply at noon yesterday stating that Mrs. Barndollar was no better, and in her weakened condition and at her advanced age was not responding to treatment as she should, and the three daughters, who are at their mother's bedside, Mrs. Varley, Mrs. Weber, and Mrs. McNeelly, were fearful of the ultimate result. The many friends of Mrs. Barndollar in this city, where she made her home for so many years, and were all who knew her learned to love and honor her because of her beautiful home life, sweet character, and remarkable business ability, will regret to hear of her serious condition and expressed the hope that later news may be more favorable and that she may ultimately recovered to still further bless and gladden the lives of her family and friends. Pueblo Chieftain – January 28, 1919 – Death of Mrs. Catherine Barndollar in California – Yesterday, Dr. E. W. Varley, son-in-law of the deceased, received a telegram from his wife stating that her mother, Mrs. Catherine Morgan Barndollar, widow of Ferd Barndollar, had passed away at 10:30 Monday, January 27, at Santa Monica, Calif., her death been the indirect result of an operation performed some 10 days or two weeks ago, from which he never rallied. Mrs. Catherine Barndollar was well and favorably known in this city, where she was married, lived, and reared her family, and was one of the best beloved women among the early settlers of this community because of her big heart and many kindly acts of charity to those who needed her help and words of consolation and comfort. As the city grew and new people came in Mrs. Barndollar continued to make her home in Pueblo, and made warm friends of all who had the good fortune to meet and know her, because she was always the same active, charitable, benevolent woman – with a heart open to receive everyone's griefs and troubles and to give words of comfort and consolation. About a year ago Mrs. Barndollar went to Calif. to visit with her daughters, Mrs. Adolph Webber and Mrs. John W. McNeelly, she having been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. E. W. Varley in this city previous to that time. A week or 10 days ago she was operated on at a local hospital in Santa Monica and several days ago The Chieftain announced that her recovery was doubtful. Mrs. Varley, having telegraphed her husband that her mother was not responding to treatment as she should, and it was doubtful that she would live more than a few days. Several weeks ago Mrs. Varley went to Calif. to visit her son, who is in the United States service, and also to visit her mother and sisters, all of them at that time being in good health, but shortly after she arrived there, Mrs. Barndollar became ill and it was determined that her mother's condition was such that she must be operated in hopes of prolonging her life. Mrs. Barndollar's three daughters were with her at the time of her death, which was a great consolation to her and to them. It was not known last night by the relatives in this city whether the body would be buried in Calif. or be brought to Pueblo for interment beside the body of her husband. The sincere sympathy of many warm friends will be extended the bereaved family in their great sorrow. Pueblo Chieftain – February 9, 1919 – Body Cremated – Mrs. Catharine Barndollar, formerly of this city, who died recently in Calif., left a request that her body be cremated, and this request her daughter respected, and the body was cremated at Los Angeles, Calif.

Bill Bob Barnett was born on Tittle's Ranch in Collingsworth County, Texas, the seventh child of Robert Bascomb and Cordelia Martin Barnett. Due to his disrupted early education, he developed a special empathy for children who face challenges in school. Bill graduated from high school in Odessa, Texas, in 1940. He continued his education at Southwestern Institute of Technology, Weatherford, Okla., where he met Edith Patterson, with whom he shared 65 years of marriage. It also was at this time that Bill made the decision to accept Jesus as his Savior and live his life by biblical principles. In 1943, Bill obtained an official birth certificate which changed his name to William Robert. After attending the U.S. Naval Academy for one year, he served on active duty in the Navy for two years. Bill then graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in 1947 and a master's degree in 1949. Bill and Edith married in 1945, and both taught school in several small Oklahoma towns until they moved with their two daughters to Pueblo in 1953. A son was born in 1954. Bill taught in School District 60 beginning at the historic Hinsdale Elementary. He served as principal there for many years as well as at Riverside, Belle Plain, Haaff and South Park Elementary. He took great pleasure in his career and made many lasting friendships with colleagues and students. During his career, he was active in several educational associations and Lions Club International. In retirement, Bill fulfilled his lifelong dream of ranching. He and Edith moved to Tahlequah, Okla., in 1984, where he raised cattle on his Anchor Oaks Ranch for nine happy years. After returning to Pueblo, he volunteered with Habitat for Humanity. During the course of his life, Bill lived out Joshua 24:15, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” He and Edith were active in Baptist churches wherever they lived. He was a gentle man, humble, well-spoken, principled, a man of integrity, loyal to his faith and his family. Bill will be remembered for his sparkling blue eyes, his quick wit and dry sense of humor, his passion for education and his love for children. He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers; and two sisters; wife, Edith; and son, Pat.

"Buck" Barnhart died on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009, at the Sangre de Cristo Hospice in Pueblo. Though he was born to Rainey and Bertha Barnhart on Aug. 5, 1925, the “birthday” he actively celebrated was his open heart surgery on March 28, 2001. After that surgery, Dad's spirit soared and his heart was indeed "open.” He was very proud to be 8 going on 9. Buck was the only student in his class at Belle Plain School for the first four years of his school career. He graduated from Centennial High School in 1943, and then served as a Marine in two wars: occupation duty in Japan in WWII and the Korean War. He graduated from Colorado A&M in 1950, where he met his first wife of 22 years, Nancy (Kumler) Martin. They have four sons, Craig (Anna), Bruce (Missy Rogers), Robin (Terri) and Ross (dear friend, Charles Hastings). In 1973, Buck married Gail (Weigel, Decker) and expanded the family to include her two children, Mike (Sue) Decker and Carolyn (Kelly) Burgess. He was married to Gail for his remaining 36 years. He placed family needs first and was proud of his six children, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. After college, he returned to Pueblo to join the family farm. The Barnharts were well-known for their labor-intensive trenched celery, which was considered a holiday delicacy. Grocery stores posted signs in their windows when they had it available. Old timers would stop by the "Celery House" on East Fourth Street to pick some up, and it was served in the Fred Harvey railroad dining cars and on the White House Thanksgiving table. In 1970, he sold the farm and started a career in sand and gravel, real estate, mineral rights appraisals and reclamation consulting. Buck founded the Barnhart Agency real estate office, and ran it from 1982 to 2004. The Barnhart cattle brand inspired the company motto “your brand of people.” He was awarded the 2006 Pueblo Association of Realtors Lifetime Achievement Award. In his later years, he said that he was old and rich enough to retire, but not smart enough. He finally came to his senses and retired in September of this year. Buck was an active community member, serving as a 4-H leader and TV commentator of the State Fair fat stock sale. He also was active in the regional and county planning commissions, Farm Bureau, chamber of commerce, Pueblo Association of Realtors, and served as secretary-treasurer of Booth Orchard Grove Ditch Co. Buck enjoyed climbing mountains and skiing, and passed his love of the mountains to his children. He also enjoyed travel, crossword puzzles and the Broncos. Buck had wisdom rooted in years of farm life and a gift of sharing it with few words at the most opportune times. He had a relentless optimism that served him and those around him as well. Above all, he embraced his family and friends with love, support and generosity. There will be no service. The family requests donations to Sangre de Cristo Hospice or either of the Pueblo animal shelters, in lieu of flowers. Barnhart, Lucille G. Lucille G.

The service, which is held annually on the Tuesday after Memorial Day, is designed to give friends and family a way to honor and gain closure in the deaths of those individuals who at one time in their lives were homeless, according to LaTanya Yarbrough of Posada. "Some of our people pass away and they never get any recognition," Yarbrough said. "That's why we started this memorial service so that those people who have experienced homelessness in their lifetime can be recognized and remembered." This year, there will be 15 men and women who have died in the past 12 months recognized at the memorial. The event is scheduled to begin at noon at the Boettcher Outdoor Education Center, located on the eastern edge of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo. Rev. Kim James of Wesley United Methodist Church will speak at the event and David Marrerro, commander of VFW Post 203, will give a veteran's reflection. The Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team will perform a veteran's salute for two veterans - Joann Baskin and George Butterfield - who died this year. Music will be provided by the Wild West Cowboy Praise Band. As part of the event, Yarbrough said family and friends are invited to share their memories about those who have died. A luncheon will follow the memorial service. Names and dates of death of those honored at this year's event are: Joann Baskin, 50, Veteran, June 4, 2010.

Bavera, Felipe Felipe Bavera - Pueblo Indicator - December 25, 1920 - Pool Room Murders - Two Mexicans Shot and Killed in Down Town Resort - As a result of an argument over the price of a game of pool two Mexicans are dead and three men connected with the pool hall are in jail. The shooting took place in Sam Spinnuza's place at 312 North Union avenue, last Sunday night. One Mexican was killed instantly and the other died at a hospital the day following. Sam and Joe Spinnuza and Peter Inserto are held in jail pending investigation of the shooting. When the shooting began everybody in the hall rushed for the door and none seemed to know just who did the killing, but the police and sheriff's offices think they can locate the shooters. A big crowd on the outside heard nine shots in all and saw the stampede from the hall. The day following after the police and sheriff's forces discovered a lot of mash brew and whisky at the home of Sam Spinnuza; the city revoked his pool room license. Chief Daly says that the Spinnuzis have been running a very disorderly place and gave the city lots of trouble and expense. The police say that red liquor has been sold in their place for a long time. The city council has now passed an emergency ordinance permitting police to enter and search any place of business or residence where they suspect liquor is sold. The names of the two men who were killed are Felipe Bavera and Maximo Campos. Fernando Tapoce was wounded. Baxter, J. H. J. H. Baxter – Pueblo Chieftain – November 7, 1918 – Death in Family – J. H.

Baxter, John John Baxter - Daily Rocky Mountain News - July 1, 1879 - A Cow-Boy's Carouse - Two Men Killed in a Tragic Encounter at Pueblo - The town of Pueblo, which has figured rather prominently in the present railroad war, was the scene yesterday of an unfortunate encounter, resulting in the death of two men well known throughout Pueblo and the country adjoining. The tragedy was the result of a cow-boy's carouse, one of the victims at least being in a state of intoxication when he met his end. The affray occurred yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock - the parties to the affair being a young ranchman named John Baxter, and the other a police officer named Alva Tiffany. Baxter was the aggressor, the officer, from all accounts, meeting his death in an attempt to enforce the laws and compel Baxter to be quiet. The News' informant, who was an eye-witness to the occurrence, states that during the morning Baxter came into town with four or five of his comrades. The crowd had just come off from a long cattle drive and were disposed to make a day of it in the southern metropolis. They hitched their horses in front of the saloon of John Scheuer in North Pueblo, and went in to get a drink. The result was that the party became all more or less intoxicated, Baxter especially so. His conduct was so boisterous as to attract attention, and it was in an effort to quiet him that Tiffany met his death. When the crowd got more than unusually noisy in their conduct, Tiffany appeared on the scene, and, addressing Baxter, stated that he would have “to tone himself down.” Baxter replied with a yell, and the policeman seeing that the man was armed, approached and asked him for his revolver, it being the impression of those who saw the encounter, that the request was made more for the purpose of keeping the man from doing any harm than anything else. In any event Baxter declined to turn the weapon over, and addressing the policeman said, “You d—n s—n of a b—h, if you want it, come and take it.” Before the officer had started for him, Baxter fired. The ball fortunately flew wide of its mark. Tiffany was about to turn - whether to attempt to make the arrest or not is not known. In any event another bullet was sent flying at him from the drunken man's weapon. At this Tiffany drew his own weapon and shot at Baxter, the two reports appearing to be almost simultaneous. Both men were hit. The ball from Baxter's revolver struck Tiffany in the left shoulder blade, passing through the lungs and lodging beneath the skin under the right nipple. Tiffany, after receiving the wound, fell like a log and died in five minutes. Baxter fell, too, and was carried to a neighboring drug store, where his injuries were pronounced fatal. The ball from the policeman's revolver had entered his stomach and in half an hour he was a corpse. The affray created the greatest excitement in Pueblo, where both parties were well known. The scene of the encounter was soon surrounded by a large crowd of people, who shuddered as they gazed on the bodies of the two men, both young and both so full of life and vigor only a few moments before. The coroner of the county was soon after summoned, and impaneled a jury to inquire into the facts. These were very plain and substantially as The News has given them above. A Description of the Victims - Baxter was about twenty-eight years old, and was well known among the cattle men in southern Colorado. He was a partner of James Moore, and the two had quite a bunch of cattle. Baxter ordinarily was a very quiet fellow, but drink seemed to transform him into a fury and he was noted about Pueblo for a fashion he had of galloping at a reckless speed through the streets, and insisting on entering a saloon on horseback. Tiffany was a very estimable young man, who arrived at Pueblo some months ago from Nebraska. He secured an appointment on the police force and was regarded as a steady, sober officer. The tragic affair is very much regretted everywhere in Pueblo, and the particulars of the deadly encounter were discussed in all circles last evening. Baxter, Lillian Lillian Baxter – Pueblo Chieftain – November 7, 1918 – Death in Family – J. H. Baxter, attorney of Paonia, his father and his wife, all have died of influenza.

Beaman, Bill Bill Beaman - Pueblo Chieftain - August 28, 1991 - Wife insists husband was killed - Mary Beaman insists her husband, Bill, was murdered - "It's a homicide," she said Tuesday in response to statements from the Rio Grande County Sheriff's Office that the bullet wound in the skull of the body found in the Rio Grande on Sunday could have been self-inflicted. "I absolutely can't believe that. Suicide is a coward's way out," Mrs. Beaman said. Dave Stong, investigator for the 12th Judicial District Attorney's office, also is convinced Beaman was murdered. Rio Grande County Sheriff Desi Medina said he was still "only 98 percent sure" the body found by a Monte Vista fisherman is that of William "Bill" Beaman, 54, the John Deere farm implements dealer here who disappeared May 15. However, he "authorized" release of an obituary to put things to rest for the family. "I've been thinking like a cop too much lately," Medina said. The clothes on the dead man's badly decomposed body matched those of Beaman, from the watch to the gray lizard boots, Medina said. The sheriff's office said Monday that a diving team searched the sand of the river for Beaman's wedding ring. Mrs. Beaman said she has told officers all along she has the rings because Beaman only wore them on special occasions, not to work. "They were very important to him," she said. Mrs. Beaman said she expects the coroner's office to release her husband's body to the family today. She said she needs "to know specifics," which can be learned from such things as a close inspection of Beaman's dental records with the teeth of the dead man. She said she would not examine the body, instead asking questions and providing information for those doing the investigation in order to make a positive identification. There is a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Beaman's killer, his wife said, adding that anyone with information relating to the murder should contact either the district attorney's office, the FBI or the sheriff's office. "Whoever it is (who killed her husband) has destroyed a lot of things. And I will never be the same," Mrs. Beaman said. "Life goes on but it really doesn't. Not for me it doesn't. That life is really shattered." She said she could not have handled Beaman's death earlier but had steeled herself for the possibility. However, she is having difficulty handling the rumors that some area residents have been spreading. "It's cruel. People don't think about how rumors hurt." Beaman also is survived by his parents, two sons, three stepchildren, three brothers and a sister. His family and friends have started a memorial fund for the San Luis Valley 4-H Foundation of which he was president. Beaman "got his start" in 4-H and believed the organization gave youngsters a "good start," Mrs. Beaman said. Contributions to the fund can be made in care of Olme & Sharp Funeral Home, Monte Vista. A memorial service will be held for Beaman at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the Sargent High School football field with the Rev. Phil Janowsky of the Sargent Community Church, for which Beaman was a lay reader, presiding.

George F. Beard - Pueblo Chieftain – February 26, 1919 – Yeager, Charged With the Murder of Beard Saw Sproules Kill Officer W. W. Green – Frank Yeager, confined in the county jail on the charge of murdering George F. Beard in the Empress rooming house last fall, was a star witness against Clifford Sproules being tried for the murder of W. W. Green. Yeager, under guard, was brought from the county jail and placed upon the witness stand late yesterday afternoon. He was interrogated by the district attorney as to his residence for months past in the county jail, and coolly replied to the question of Attorney Dye for the defense, as to why he was in jail, that he was under a charge of murder. He stated that he had now been a resident of Pueblo for three years, one month and three days. Mr. Hughes asked him what cell he occupied in the jail, and if it was so located that he could see clearly what happened with regard to the murder of Mr. Green. "I was sitting at the door of my cell, No. 1, and could see clearly all that happened. Mr. Green came first, Renegar next, and Sproules last toward the bullpen. Mr. Green reached up with the key in his right hand to unlock the box lock; just then Sproules struck him over the head with the gun twice, and as he reeled from the force of the blows, Sproules shot him twice, grabbed the keys and escaped down the stairway." A vigorous cross-examination failed to shake his statements in the least. John Renegar referred to above, is the man who died suddenly at a local hospital several days ago after being pronounced well enough to be taken back to jail.

Resolved, that an annual solemn Requiem high mass be sung for them, the first of which will be Thursday, January 2, at 9 o'clock at St. Patrick's Church; and be it further result Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the bereaved relatives, one spread upon the minutes of the Council, and one sent to the local press.

Beggs – Pueblo Chieftain – June 23, 1917 – Former Puebloan on Way to France – Harold Beggs Joins Automobile Unit for Service on War Front – R. Harold Beggs, former D. U. student and well known in Pueblo, having engaged in automobile tire business here for some time, left last night for France. Beggs will drive an ammunition truck in an American automobile unit that is now being formed to leave for France. Beggs, who lives in Denver, but who has been in Chicago connected with the Marshall Field Co., was informed that he had been chosen a member of the unit at a Red Cross luncheon in Denver Wednesday. Beggs was leading in giving cheers for the Red Cross workers who had obtained exceptional results, by virtue of his being yell leader of the Denver University cheering section two years ago. He was just preparing for a rousing cheer when a telegram was handed him informing him that he was to leave at once for France. A fellow yell leader read the telegram to the assembled Red Cross workers, who tendered Beggs a grand ovation. He will be under the indirect command of General Pershing's sections. His duties will be to convey ammunition to the firing line and bring in the wounded. When war was declared he was east and after a short time enlisted in the regular Army, but was later rejected because of a defective foot. A physician treated the member, Beggs refusing to be left out of the fight, and he was declared, after some treatment, to be physically fit for service. It was at this time that Beggs decided to return to Colo. He wrote the adjutant general offering his services and the services of his car. The matter was considered by those concerned and Beggs was entered into the automobile unit. He will be in France before the middle of July it is thought. Beggs is the only son of Mrs. Robert Beggs, widow of Prof. R. H. Beggs, who was for 35 years principle of Whittier School and half owner of the Crews-Beggs Department Store.

Bell, Arthur Arthur Bell - Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain - May 23, 1873 - Trinidad - A Double Tragedy - A Well Known Citizen Shot Dead - Rapid Retribution - The data from which we compile the following account of the murder and hanging in Trinidad, on Tuesday last, was obtained from a gentleman who came up from that place on the stage yesterday, and was in the town when the bloody events transpired. The murderer, a fellow known about Trinidad as a bad, troublesome, dangerous man, for nearly two years past, whose name was supposed to be Ed Clark, was about to take possession of and build a house upon a lot on the hill belonging to Barny J. O'Niell, a quiet and worthy citizen. Mr. O'Niell hearing of this attempt to rob him of his property, spoke to Clark about the matter on the principal street of the town, about one o'clock, and the two started in the direction of the disputed lot. A few minutes after this, firing was heard on the hill, and it was soon ascertained that O'Niell had been shot and killed by Clark. Upon examination it was found that three pistol shots had taken effect upon the body of O'Niell, either of which would have proven fatal, and that besides inflicting these deadly injuries, the fiendish murderer had beaten his victim over the head with his revolver. As soon as the bloody deed was done, Clark attempted to escape, but the sheriff of the county was on hand with commendable promptness, and arrested him at once, and took him before a magistrate for a preliminary trial. While he was in the justice's office, a large crowd of citizens gathered around and finally took forcible possession of his body, carried him to a vacant building, examined into the details of the horrible murder, and put it to the vote of all present, whether or not he should be hung at once. The voice of the people was for hanging, and this just sentence was executed with commendable promptness. How swiftly punishment follows the perpetration of crime, in this instance will be understood, when it is known that the murder was committed shortly after one o'clock, and the execution was over before three o'clock of the same afternoon. In this case there was no masquerading or night business. All was done by good citizens, without disguise of any kind, and in broad and open daylight. Whatever consequences may follow, the citizens of Trinidad are prepared to meet them like determined men who have performed a deliberate act. Just before the murderer was executed, he said his real name was Arthur Bell, and that Clark had been assumed, probably to enable him to escape the punishment of former crimes.

A long-time resident of South Denver, she was well known for her caring, happy and forceful spirit, her lovely garden, and her community activities. She was born April 3, 1910 on a homestead near Alliance, Nebraska. Orphaned at nine, she nevertheless made her way to Chadron State College and then to the University of Nebraska where she graduated in 1930. When in college she had a summer job at Estes Park and fell in love with the Colorado Mountains vowing to return. In 1937 when she was the head dietician at Baltimore City hospital, she met her husband, Robert Bell, an intern and importantly a native of Colorado. Six months later in December, they were married. They returned to Colorado, first to Louviers in 1945 and then to their home in South Denver where they lived for over 50 years. She was active in a wide range of community activities including the local schools, the National Cancer Society, and local hospital and church support groups.

She loved the outdoors, the mountains and hiking, and, of course, gardening. She transformed a barren lot on the plains into a celebrated garden complete with Japanese trimmed evergreens inspired by her visit to Japan. She was a principal advocate of converting the abandoned railroad right of way near her home into the Historic Buchtel Boulevard Trail. She was a strong Democrat and an early and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama proudly voting for him in her last election. One granddaughter summed her up: "Tough as nails, she taught me to love with my whole heart, to fight and to stand up for what is right, to create, sew, garden, cook, bake, to look at the birds and the wonders that surround us all each and every moment."

Benge, Edward Edward Benge - Pueblo Chieftain - September 26, 2010 - State Patient Who Tried Suicide Dies - A state hospital patient who attempted suicide earlier this week died Saturday. Edward Benge, 49, died at 9:25 a.m. at Parkview Medical Center, according to the Pueblo County Coroner's Office. Benge tried to hang himself with a bed sheet early Monday in his room at the forensic unit at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. Dave Santos, an investigator with the coroner's office, said an autopsy is scheduled to determine Benge's exact cause of death. Benge's death marks the second of a patient at the state hospital in as many months. In August, Troy Geske, 41, died after staff restrained him to a table. The Colorado Department of Human Services, which oversees the state hospital, announced an independent audit of the facility last week to review facility policy and procedures aimed at the care and treatment of patients. Liz McDonough, a Human Services spokeswoman, said the audit was planned after Geske's death. McDonough, when reached by cell phone, wouldn't comment Saturday on Benge's death, saying "I just can't hear it (from a reporter).” Benge was committed to the state hospital in 1992 for setting fire to a Colorado Springs bar-apartment that killed one man and injured others. Also in 1992, Benge told a Denver newspaper reporter that he convinced a psychiatrist he was insane to avoid prison. In 2004, Benge walked away from the state hospital and was arrested eight months later in Iowa. Benham, Adrian M. Adrian M. Benham - Pueblo Chieftain - June 16, 2009 - Adrian M.

Bernstein, Morey Morey Bernstein - Pueblo Chieftain - July 19, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1956 - 1957 - Puebloans Turn Their Attention to Space - They Made a Difference - Morey Bernstein - Businessman Morey Bernstein focused the eyes of the world on Pueblo in 1956 with the publication of "The Search for Bridey Murphy." The book, based on hours of tape-recorded interviews with Pueblo housewife Virginia Tighe, was an overnight best-seller. It even brought a team of journalists from Time magazine here to try to uncover the true identity of "Bridey." The book detailed Mrs. Tighe's recollections, under hypnosis induced by Bernstein, of a former life in 17th century Ireland. The Pueblo Chieftain even cooperated with Bernstein's efforts to protect Mrs. Tighe's identity, referring to her as Ruth Simmons in stories related to the controversial novel. Chieftain readers were treated to a "serial" printing of the book, which was published in 34 countries and 30 languages. Bernstein spent much of his time in New York City for a few years after the book and a subsequent record album taken from his "interviews" sparked public battles over reincarnation and the afterlife. In later years, he split his time between Pueblo and Miami, leading an increasingly solitary existence until he died in April 1999. Although he owned a huge home on Elizabeth Street, he spent his last 25 years in an apartment at the Abriendo Arms. During those years he and Uncle Abe, who with Bernstein's father operated Bernstein Bros. manufacturing, quietly gave financial support and land upon which the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center and the convention center eventually were built. Bernstein also is credited with playing a key role in the establishment of Colorado City, where he requested his ashes be spread. At his request, there was no memorial service or even an obituary notice.

Bernstein had been suffering from a growth in his head and had been told by physicians that an operation was necessary. He had undergone a previous operation. Sunday morning he fired a bullet into his brain. It was believed that it might have destroyed the growth. A sudden change in the condition of Bernstein took place early today. Bero, Paul Paul Bero – Pueblo Chieftain – October 14, 1918 – Three Men Killed When Auto Misses Bridge Over Arroyo – An automobile accident resulting in the death of three men and serious injury to a fourth, happened shortly after 1 o'clock Sunday morning 21 miles South of Pueblo on the Rye Road. The names of the men killed are Paul Bero, Alex Uttasi, and Steve Calavis, and the name of the injured man, who was taken to the Minnequa Hospital is Nagy. All of the men are believed to be Austrians, and were employed at the Cameron mine 2 miles west of Walsenburg. Dan Predovich was the first person to discover the accident, about 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. He said that Uttasi was living when the ambulance arrived but died before the ambulance reached the scene. Predovich immediately called up the corner, Dr. Ray Taylor, who notified Davis & Vories, and an emergency run was made to the scene of the accident. When the coroner and Ray Chamblin of Davis-Vories arrived, Nagy could not be found among the ruins of the car, later he was found staggering along the road 8 miles distant. He was rushed to Minnequa Hospital. The bodies of the other three men were taken to the Davis-Vories undertaking establishment. According to a story obtained from a man living near Abbey, the car stopped at his home about 1 o'clock in the morning and the occupants asked him if he had any globes for their lamps as their globes had become broken and they had been running without lights. The men were unable to obtain any globes and continued their journey without lights. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Chamblin believe the men failed to realize until too late that the sharp turn in the road and the bridge were so close and the car fell into the Scrogs Arroyo. All were thrown a distance of 30 feet. Uttasi and Bero were apparently thrown through the windshield as pieces of glass corresponding with that found in the windshield were picked out from the faces of both men; both men sustained concussion of the brain, while Calavis, it is thought, sustained a broken neck. The Ford car was not damaged beyond repair. The four men, it was learned, left Cameron about 11 o'clock Saturday night to visit some other friends in Pueblo, although no known relatives are believed to be living here. This accident is not the first of its kind to happen at this place. August 28, 1917, two men were killed at exactly the same place, and the circumstances were similar. The men killed at that time were Isham Bernard, a stock and ranch man, whose home was at Fowler and Harry Hilvitz. The car in that instant tumbled over the cliff dashing both men to instant death.

Gerda Betts – Pueblo Chieftain – August 31, 1919 – Steelworker Slays Widow and Kills Himself When Woman Spurns His Love – Angered because his attentions had been rejected, A. C. Full, a steelworker, shot and killed Mrs. Gerda E. Betts, a widow, age 34, at her home, 105 Veta Ave., at 1 o'clock this morning and then fatally wounded himself. He was hastened to St. Mary's Hospital where he died shortly afterwards. Full gained entrance to the house by a ladder placed against the front porch. He climbed this and taking off a screen entered a front bedroom window. He slipped down the stairs and into the kitchen. It is said that Harry Angle a prominent contractor residing at Goff apartments was standing on the front porch of the Betts' home waiting for a taxi when the shooting took place. Mrs. Betts was shot as she passed from the dining room into the kitchen. Full fired four shots at her. One shot pierced her hand and the others pierced her head. Full then turned the gun on himself and fired one shot into his own head. Apparently Mrs. Betts, the dangerously wounded, attempted to call the police station. The receiver of the telephone was down and it was covered with blood. She was lying directly under it, when found by the neighbors and the police. D. W. Klein, residing at 107 Veta Ave., directly next door was awakened by the shots. He hurried to the Betts' home and found Mrs. Betts and Full both apparently dead. He hurriedly called the police station and a squad of officers under the direction of Night Capt. Sinclair hurried to the scene in the patrol. Finding that Full was not dead, the officers placed him in the patrol wagon and rushed him to St. Mary's Hospital where he died shortly afterwards. Mrs. Betts had met Angle down town at a theater. Angle accompanied her home in her own automobile and he had just called a taxi cab to take him home. It is understood that Full had borrowed the ladder he used from Klein, next door, saying that he wanted to paint Mrs. Betts' home. Mrs. Betts' two daughters, Lurlei, age 11 years, and Andrea, age 10, were asleep in a room upstairs when the shooting took place. One of the girls stated that Full had been paying marked attention to her mother but that his attentions had been rejected time and time again. Pueblo Chieftain – September 1, 1919 – Murder and Suicide Were Premeditated by Steel Worker is Belief of Police and Coroner – That the murder of Mrs. Gerda E. Betts, and the suicide of A. C. Full, which took place at 12:45 o'clock Sunday morning at the home of Mrs. Betts at 105 Veta Ave., was a premeditated affair, seems almost certain from additional details of the affair as obtained by the police and coroner, Dr. W. H. Campbell yesterday. As was published in the Chieftain yesterday morning, Full, according to the police, shot and killed Mrs. Betts as she was passing from the dining room into the kitchen and while Harry Angle, a prominent contractor of Pueblo, was standing at the front door waiting for a taxi, which he had ordered to come and take him to his rooms in the Goff apartments. The first shot is believed to have pierced her abdomen and she is then thought to have rushed to the telephone to call for help, when Full fired 3 other shots which struck her in the head and which undoubtedly killed her instantly. The telephone receiver was down and covered with blood when the neighbors arrived and her body was lying in such a manner as would indicate that she had fallen from the telephone. Full then turned the revolver on himself and inflicted a wound in the head from which he died at 2:30 o'clock, an hour and a half later, at St. Mary's Hospital. Full's daughter, Mrs. Lena May Keating, is said to have informed the undertaker yesterday that she had felt certain, all day Saturday that something was about to happen since her father told her that morning that he had taken out more insurance for her and that she might need it. It is also stated that she urged her father several times to let the woman alone and intimated that Mrs. Betts at one time promised to marry Full but later broke the engagement. This leads the coroner to believe that the affair was premeditated and for that reason it is quite possible that no inquest over the bodies will be held. Full has another daughter, Mrs. Eddie Roberts of Denver. She arrived in Pueblo yesterday after receiving word of the crime. Mr. Angle who is said to have been on the porch of the Betts home when the shooting occurred, told the coroner that he and Mrs. Betts and Mrs. Betts' is too little daughter's came downtown Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Betts and the children went to a grocery store to purchase groceries and he went to a barbershop to get a shave. Then they all 4 went to a cafeteria for supper. In the evening they went to a theater and returned to the Betts' home rather late. The children were put to bed and Angle telephoned from the house for a taxicab to come and take him to his own home. While he and Mrs. Betts were sitting in the reception room waiting for the taxi to come, they suddenly heard what appeared to be someone on the front porch. Thinking it was the taxi cab driver, Angle went to the door. As he stepped out of the door, the shots rang out from the back part of the house. It is presumed that Mrs. Betts heard someone in the kitchen and went to investigate and met Full as she was passing from the dining room into the kitchen. Angle returned to the house and found the bodies. D. W. Klein, a neighbor also heard the shots and hurried to the Betts' home. The police were called and Full was taken to the hospital. Full gained entrance to the house while Angle and Mrs. Betts were in the parlor. He placed a ladder against the front porch, climbing this to the roof, removed a screen from the front window and entered the upstairs. He then slid down the stairs into the kitchen. It is learned that Full was separated from his wife several years ago. Mrs. Betts' husband has been dead about 10 years and she has been residing in Pueblo for about 3 years. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Klein who reside next door to the scene of the crime are taking care of the 2 little daughters left total orphans. The grandmother is on her way to Pueblo to take charge of them. Full roomed at 217 E. 7th St. He had become infatuated with Mrs. Betts, it is said, and although she sought to avoid him as much as possible, it is said he was determined in his attentions to her. The bodies are at McCarthy's. Pueblo Chieftain – September 1, 1919 – The body of Mrs. Gerda Betts is being cared for by the McCarthy Undertaking Co. awaiting the arrival of relatives.

She had grown up in several different locales as a child when her family eventually settled in Holly, Colo., where she graduated the eighth grade and met her future husband. On Dec. 17, 1948, she married Paul Gerald Bezona in Raton, N.M. The couple resided in Granada, Colo., where two daughters, Tecla and Teala, were born. They then moved to Pinon, Colo., where she began her prowess at homemaking and child rearing. She cooked and sewed and helped with farm animals.

During this time, the family formed a band, Paul and the Three T's. The band played area dances and occasions in the 1960's and 70's and she was the costume designer, seamstress and was the band's biggest fan and critic. Mary was eventually employed by Lil's Cake Cottage where she perfected the art of baking and decorating cakes. She also worked for several local families cleaning houses. She never retired from her homemaking responsibilities and was an active member of the family helping to raise grandchildren and great- grandchildren, all the while teaching others to entertain, bake, sew, crochet and craft. She was an avid Denver Broncos fan and loved fishing.

Biber - Contra Costa Times - January 23, 2006 - Stanley H. Biber, Sex-change surgeon, Colorado - Stanley H. Biber, a small-town Colorado doctor who for decades was internationally renowned as the dean of sex-change surgery, died Jan. 16 at a hospital in Pueblo. He was 82 and lived in Hoehne, Colo. The cause of death was complications of pneumonia, said his secretary, Marie Pacino. A former Army surgeon, Biber was among the first doctors in the United States to perform sex changes and for years was one of only a handful of physicians to offer them. He became one of the country's most prolific providers of the operation, which, it was estimated, he performed more than 4,000 times beginning in 1969. By now, about 30,000 Americans have undergone sex-change surgery, according to the International Foundation for Gender Education, an advocacy group in Waltham, Mass. During the 1970s, '80s and early '90s, Trinidad, Colo., where Biber practiced, was an unlikely mecca for men and women who sought to change their sex. Featured frequently on television and in newspapers, the doctor's work earned the town a reputation as "the sex-change capital of the world." If some local residents bristled at the title, many others embraced Biber and his work. Few disputed its quality. Some expressed pride in the service he performed. And no one doubted the economic benefit to Trinidad, which was a down-at-the-heels former coal-mining town when the doctor moved there in the mid-1950s. Once a rabbinical student, Biber took to the Old West ethic of Trinidad, a town near the New Mexico border in southern Colorado. He favored blue jeans, silver belt buckles and pickup trucks. He owned a ranch, was once a county commissioner and to the end of his life rode in cattle drives. Throughout his career, he continued his work as a general practitioner, performing tonsillectomies, delivering babies and setting bones -- sometimes reading X-rays at his kitchen table when patients called on him at night. Stanley Harold Biber was born on May 4, 1923, in Des Moines, Iowa. After graduating from high school at 16, he enrolled in a yeshiva in Chicago, intending to become a rabbi. He interrupted his studies to work for the Office of Strategic Services, forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, during World War II. After the war, he enrolled at the University of Iowa, where he earned a medical degree in 1948. After a residency in the Panama Canal Zone, Biber joined the Army, where he was the chief surgeon of a MASH unit in the Korean War. He finished his service at what is now Fort Carson, in Colorado, and in 1954 took a job at a United Mine Workers clinic in Trinidad. He planned to stay a year or two. For the next 15 years, Biber had a typical small-town practice, working at Trinidad's only hospital, Mount San Rafael. Few surgeons in the United States had ever seen a sex-change operation, much less performed one. But Biber was young and sure of his surgical skill. In Korea, he had once performed 37 operations in a row before passing out from exhaustion. Working from a set of hand-drawn diagrams he obtained from the Johns Hopkins University hospital, he performed a sex-change operation on a GI from the Bronx named George Jorgensen, who became Christine Jorgensen in Denmark in 1952. Word got around, and soon other transsexuals went to Trinidad. Biber obliged, but quietly at first, unsure of the reaction by Mount San Rafael. He stored the charts of his sex-change patients in the hospital safe. Most of Biber's patients were men seeking to become women, though he also performed female-to-male sex changes. His patients came from all over the world and from all walks of life. There were three brothers who became three sisters. There were an 84-year-old train engineer, a 250-pound linebacker and an American Indian medicine man, all of whom emerged as women. By the mid-1990s, an increasing number of surgeons in the United States and abroad were providing sex-change operations. In 2003, after his age made malpractice insurance prohibitive, Biber stopped performing surgery. He maintained a small general practice until his death, taking care, as he told an interviewer, of "friends who won't sue me." Bible, Edgar R. Edgar R.

Biby, Claude Claude Biby – Pueblo Chieftain – August 4, 1918 – Pueblo Boy Is Killed in an Automobile Wreck – Claude Biby, age 18, residing at 515 W. 6th St., was killed about 11 o'clock last night when an automobile truck which he was driving met with a mishap between Manzanola and Rocky Ford. He died at the Physicians Hospital at Rocky Ford an hour after being brought into the institution. It is understood that there were four young ladies, also of this city, in the party. Two of them were sisters by the name of Schlues. One of the sisters was severely injured, although it is believed that she will recover. The other sister was bruised considerably. The remainder of the party, the names of whom could not be learned last night, apparently were uninjured, since there was no report concerning them. Claude Biby was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Biby and was employed by the Colo. Bedding Co., whose truck, it is said, he was driving. According to word obtained from Rocky Ford this morning the party, it was understood, was planning to visit an aunt of the Schlues sisters. The party left Pueblo about 6:30 o'clock last night. The body of Claude Biby is being brought back to Pueblo and the funeral arrangements will be under the direction of the Davis-Vories Undertaking Co. Pueblo Chieftain – August 5, 1918 – Death of Pueblo Boy May Have Been Due Roadgang's Fault – Investigation which was made yesterday into the circumstances surrounding the death of Claude Biby, aged 18, in an automobile accident on the Santa Fe trail between this city and Rocky Ford late Saturday night, would indicate that Biby's death may have been the result of carelessness on the part of workmen engaged in the construction of the bridge at the spot where the young Puebloan met his tragic end. Biby, in company with another young man and three young ladies was en route to Rocky Ford where the members of the party planed to spend Sunday with relatives of one of the young ladies. The scene of the tragedy is at a point 42 miles east of Pueblo and 4 miles east of Fowler on the main Santa Fe Trail highway. At that point there is in course of construction a concrete bridge over an irrigation canal. The old bridge had been moved some 50 feet to the left and north of the spot where it had formerly spanned the ditch, and the new bridge is being built on the site of the old. The old bridge is still in use and will continue to be until the new bridge is completed. To reach the old bridge the road turned slightly to the north at a point about 100 feet west of the place where the construction work is being done. Biby and his friends riding on a Ford truck of the Colo. Bedding Co. of this city were spinning along on the highway, and it is supposed that they did not notice the "jog" in the road leading away to the old bridge. There are many Fowler and Manzanola people who assert that there have been no danger signals displayed at either end of the construction work and that they are positive that there were no warning or danger signals displayed Saturday night, and no obstruction placed on the main road to warn people to take the turn to reach the old bridge. It would seem that Biby and his friends saw their danger too late. Evidence that the rear wheels of the light truck had been locked by the brakes and dragged for a considerable distance were said to have been found by several people who went to the scene of the accident Saturday night. Biby died shortly after being removed to a hospital in Rocky Ford. One of the ladies in the party, Miss Nellie Schleuse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schleuse, 2505 Carthage Ave., Irving place, was removed to the Physicians Hospital at Rocky Ford in what was at first believed to be a serious condition, but reports from that hospital last night were to the effect that she had so far recovered from her injuries as to be able to be taken to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Martin, 712 North Main St., Rocky Ford, where she is recovering rapidly from the effects of the accident. Her sister, Emma Schleuse, who was also in the accident, escaped with minor bruises. She, too, is at the Martin home in Rocky Ford. Both of the Misses Schleuse are employed at the Minnequa Hospital here. A young man named Lewis, who was a member of the party, and a young woman reported to be employed as an elevator pilot at the Central Block, were also in the party but escaped uninjured. Albert F.

Wilfred E. Billey - Pueblo Chieftain - December 13, 2013 - Navajo Code Talker dies at 90 in New Mexico home - A Navajo Code Talker, whose words are inscribed on congressional medals given to his group and who fought to have a World War II comrade recognized for his service, died Thursday in New Mexico. Wilfred Billey died at his home in Farmington following a short illness, said his daughter, Barbara. He was 90. He was one of hundreds of Navajo Code Talkers who stumped the Japanese during World War II by relaying messages in their native language. But Barbara Billey said her father never considered himself a hero. "Whenever he talked about the military during that time, he always told people that heroes were the ones he left behind, that he was not a hero," she said. "That everybody pitched in, including the people in the states, the people in the military." After the war, Billey worked with New Mexico's congressional delegation to come up with the words appearing along the bottom of the medals: "Dine Bizaad Yee Atah Naayee' Yik'eh Deesdlii" or "The Navajo language was used to defeat the enemy," his family said. Billey and others stepped in when a former Code Talker, David Tsosie, was taken off the list of honorees in 2001 because his discharge papers did not note he was part of the group. They notified government officials and provided documentation. When former Sen. Jeff Bingaman called Tsosie at a nursing home to tell him he would receive the belated medal, Billey was there. "Both of them just about jumped out of their seats with joy," said James Preminger, who covered the story for the Farmington Daily Times. "He's one of those guys that you meet who is older, who you say, 'Boy, I wish that guy was my uncle.' He was such a humanitarian," said Preminger, now a spokesman for a northwestern New Mexico school district where Billey worked. Billey's path to becoming a Code Talker started while he was attending the Navajo Methodist Mission School. The superintendent learned that the U.S. Marine Corps was looking for Navajo radiomen to follow in the footsteps of 29 other Navajos who had developed a code based on their native language. Billey volunteered in 1943 because he wanted to be with friends who were enlisting, Barbara Billey said. He fought in battles at Tarawa Atoll, Saipan, Tinian and Okinawa with the all-Navajo 297th Platoon, part of the 1st Battalion in the 2nd Division. Billey was discharged as a corporal in 1946, finished high school and earned bachelor's and master's degrees from New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, N.M., according to his family. He served as a counselor, teacher and principal in northwestern New Mexico. He spent the latter part of his life ranching, farming, fighting for his tribe's right to water from the San Juan River basin and sharing the story of the Code Talkers. Duane "Chili" Yazzie, president of the Navajo Nation's Shiprock Chapter, recalled spending time in Billey's office when Billey was a counselor at Shiprock High School in the late 1960s. "He was a great man, he had a tremendous, positive influence on many of us," Yazzie said. "He said we needed to recognize the hardship that many of our families experienced and a sure way to get out of that hardship is education." Billey gained the respect of students with a sense of calmness and kindness, said Mark Madsen, human resources coordinator at Central Consolidated School District. When he spoke about being a Code Talker, Madsen said Billey never focused on himself. "It was always about the work, the people he worked with and what it meant to him and to the other gentlemen who had done the same thing as him," he said. "Just the pride in their country, and the pride in what they had done." Services are scheduled Dec. 21 at the First United Methodist Church in Farmington. Billey is survived by his wife, Matilda, and six children: Barbara Billey, Willard Billey, Linda Kerr, Elsie Billey, Chuck Billey and Warren Billey. Billings, James W. Sr. James W.

When her son was in first grade and wanted to play softball but no coach could be found, she signed up as coach and promptly enlisted the help of her husband and a professional ball player to help her. She was also a Cub Scout, Webelo and Boy Scout mother throughout her son's scouting experience. While the above was going on, she also found time to usher her daughter through years of ballet, tap and jazz classes as well as serving for years as a room mother. She was also president of the PTA at Alice Landergin Elementary School. Her family always came first to her and she was always busy making the perfect home for them. She had many friends throughout her life that came and went, but she had a handful of very special friends for which time had no meaning and who stayed in her life and close to her heart. After God, family and friends, her next great love was animals, all sizes and shapes. She found joy and beauty in all of God's creatures and the many that came into her life were very blessed to have her home become their home. She had a strong belief in angels but the people whose lives she touched soon found out that she was an angel as well. She was a loving wife and mother and faithful friend who will be missed with each new day. The family would like to offer a very special thank you to Odyssey Hospice, especially Bob Thomas, chaplain, and providers, Rhonda Cooper, Penny Ortega, Mandy Madrid and all others not named who came to help. Without them and their love and compassion, we would have been lost. She was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother, Billy Farrell Barker. Survivors include her husband, Ben; a son, Ronnie; a daughter, Lori; two grandsons, Aaron and Trent; and a granddaughter, Nichol. The family suggests memorials be to Odyssey Hospice, in care of Odyssey Healthcare, 6900 W. Interstate 40, Suite 150, Amarillo, TX 79106. Black, John H. John H.

Blunt - Rocky Mountain News - June 19, 1897 - Death of Mark L. Blunt - Old Colorado Pioneer Passes Away After a Brief Illness - Pueblo, Colo., June 18 - Mark L. Blunt of this city, one of Colorado's pioneers, died at his home this morning of diabetes after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. Blunt was born in Boston May 23, 1832, and spent the early years of his life in that city. At the age of 12 years, when obliged to earn a livelihood, he found employment first in a book store and later learned the trade of a printer. When 27 years of age, in company with George West, now editor of the Golden Transcript, and others, in a party known as the Boston company, he left for Pike's peak. The party embarked on the plains at St. Joseph, Mo., with a team of oxen and they arrived at Auraria, now Denver, in the early part of June. Horace Greeley, Albert D. Richardson and Henry Villard, who arrived there but a few days earlier had in the meantime made a report upon the Gregory mines, which W. N. Byers, then proprietor of The Rocky Mountain News, wished to publish in the form of an extra. First Work in Colorado - The excitement raised by the discovery of gold in the mountains, however, robbed him of his printers, and he had no one to put the matter in type. In his search he went to the camp of the Boston company and engaged Mr. Blunt, Mr. West and Mr. Summer to assist him in preparing and publishing the report. This was Mr. Blunt's first work in Colorado, and was also the first printed statement on the subject to which the people of the country gave full credence. It was signed by Mr. Greeley and his companions, Messrs. Richardson and Villard, and printed on manilla paper. Mr. Blunt has frequently said that his recollection was that they received $2 per 1,000 ems for setting the type. A few days later the company proceeded to Golden City, as it was then called, on their way to the mountains, and assisted in establishing the town by building one of the first cabins on its site, and in organizing the Golden Town company. Published the Mountaineer - Mr. Blunt, in company with Mr. West, then began the publication of the Mountaineer, which was afterwards merged into the Western Mountaineer under the editorship of Albert D. Richardson and Tom Knox. The present Golden Transcript is the legitimate successor to those early ventures. Mr. Blunt was subsequently elected recorder and police magistrate of the town of Golden, and in the summer of 1860 he was appointed postmaster. In March, 1863, he went to the Missouri river with the Second regiment of Colorado volunteers, returning home in June of the same year with a lot of cattle. Long Residence Near Pueblo - In 1864 he came to Pueblo and settled on his ranch eight miles from this city, at the mouth of the St. Charles. From 1866 to 1872 he served as deputy collector of internal revenue. In February, 1881, he was appointed register of the United States land office in this city and served in that capacity until October, 1885, when he was removed by President Cleveland, presumably for offensive partisanship, since he had always been a radical Republican. Since that time Mr. Blunt had practiced as an attorney before the land office, and at the time of his death was deputy clerk of the United States circuit court for the district of Colorado. In June, 1871, at Des Moines, Iowa, he married Miss Linda J. Stout of this city. Six children have been born to them, the oldest being 25 years of age. Mr. Blunt was a man of conscientious scruples in the performance of duty, high-minded, and one who held the respect of all. His death means something more to Pueblo and the state than the passing away of an old pioneer, since in his death is the loss of a good citizen and an honorable man. Funeral services will be held at the First Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon. Note: Mark L. Blunt was buried at Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado at the age of 65.

Bode, Carl (Mrs.) Mrs. Carl Bode - Colorado Republican - June 21, 1906 - Murdered Instantly - Mrs. Harold Hutchinson Fatally Shoots Mrs. Carl Bode at Salida Monday Morning - With the insane idea that the affections of her husband had been stolen from her, Mrs. Harold Hutchinson, a pretty little brunette, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Carl Bode in the latter's yard at her handsome home on Wood avenue, in Salida, last Monday morning, at a few minutes before 9 o'clock. The ball from the 38 Smith & Wesson entered the chin severing the jugular vein, the victim wilting into the arms of a neighbor woman, to whom she had been talking. It was about 8:30 when Mrs. Hutchinson telephoned the roundhouse, asking if Bode had left on his western run yet. The information received by her was to the effect that he had. She immediately went to a hardware store and purchased a 38 Smith & Wesson revolver, put it in her handbag and went to the home of the Bodes. When yet a block away she saw Mrs. Bode talking to Mrs. Joseph Haley in the back yard. The infuriated woman entered the front gate, walked rapidly around the house to where the two unsuspecting women stood, and without a word of warning, took the revolver from her bag and shot her victim, the first and second shots missing their mark but the third found the vital spot and Mrs. Bode sank to her death without a word. As soon as the Hutchinson woman saw that she had accomplished her desire - that of taking the life of a highly respected woman - she coolly replaced the weapon in the bag, turned, and without a word retraced her steps around the house, through the front gate, down the street and gave herself up. She was locked in the city jail and Coroner Russell notified and word sent here to Sheriff Ankele. When Engineer Bode reached Brown's Canon he was notified that his wife had been taken suddenly ill. Wondering what could be the matter he pulled in the Buena Vista, where he first received the sad information that his loving young wife had been shot down in her own yard. He took an east-bound freight and arrived back in Salida at about noon, when he first learned the horrible details of the murder. There are several stories out regarding the cause of the murder, but none that are authentic. It is the general belief that the woman, Mrs. Hutchinson, had become temporarily insane form brooding over the separation from her husband. Both women, until very recently, had been the best of friends, and no suspicion of anything being wrong in the Bode family has ever been heard, although it is said Mrs., Bode and Mr. Hutchinson were good friends, and this, it is thought, is the cause of jealousy on the part of Mrs. Hutchinson, who brooded over the matter until she imagined that all was not as it should be between her husband and Mrs. Bode. Mrs. Hutchinson. The murderess arrived at the county jail Monday evening in charge of Sheriff Ankele.

Equipped with a clear and calculating focus, he possessed a tough-minded, "take charge" attitude. He had the ability to make even routine situations seem exciting, and he was at ease with the role of playing problem solver. Chuck always sought out the scene of where the action was. Sociable, analytical and pleasant, Chuck was an individual who enjoyed life's challenges. Chuck was born on March 12, 1947 at Mercy Hospital in Denver, Colorado. His parents were Joe and Gina Bon. Chuck was raised in Walsenburg and Trinidad, Colorado. Always able to express himself well, Chuck possessed strong interpersonal skills. He was optimistic in his outlook on life and was able at all times to be open and direct in his communication. Armed with a great wit, Chuck was raised to be accepting of others and to implement a strong personal work ethic. As a young child, Chuck showed his creative ability in many ways. He was outgoing and animated. Chuck enjoyed new activities and pursued a variety of interests. He was a Boy scout. In his spare time he liked to play piano, go fishing. Known to others as a focused, logical, open-minded and somewhat driven individual, Chuck was able to utilize these qualities to succeed in high school. His curious nature was spurred by his ability to maximize his personal learning style through employing a hands-on approach. He was good with facts and had an excellent memory. He graduated from St Mary's Catholic High in 1965. He enjoyed some courses more than others, having favorite classes and teachers. His favorite class in high school was Music. The teacher he enjoyed learning from the most was Father Fitzsimmons. When the goal of college was in sight, it became important to Chuck. Again, his direct, "down to earth" approach served him well. He was able to absorb complex concepts and had an acute sense of how things worked. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Sociology, English from Southern Colorado State College in 1972. His favorite courses were English Literature. His favorite professor was Miss Harring. Friends and acquaintances found Chuck an easy man to get to know, and those close to him would often praise his open, practical style of communication and relaxed approach to life in general. Chuck was uncomplicated and straightforward in his relationships, which allowed him to accept people for what they were. Later in life, he became friends with Rick Gezewicz. On August 5th, 1972 Chuck exchanged wedding vows with Theresa A. Soldano at the Our Lady of Assumption of Pueblo, Colorado. Chuck was attentive to Theresa's feelings, and he charmed Theresa and others with his gift for being able to give freely and generously. A good listener with an engaging personality, Chuck was able to bring pleasure and unexpected humor to the relationship. Very much like a kid himself, Chuck identified with the inquisitive and creative side of his children's personalities. He was able to direct his energy and spontaneity towards helping his children acquire added common sense skills. Chuck was blessed with Two Boys, Two sons, Jason and Bryon. Chuck was a flexible worker who was able to draw the best from others around him. A persuasive individual who was quick to make necessary decisions, Chuck's strengths included being able to think on his feet. He could be a leader who sought impact for his decisions. Gifted with an incredible ability to read body language, Chuck was able to positively manipulate situations and motivate others in order to get a task completed. He was a good negotiator who enjoyed new challenges. Chuck could multi-task, and he was endowed with entrepreneurial spirit, allowing him to think beyond standard norms when it came to resolving issues in his work environment. His primary occupation was Accounting Technician 3 in the Payroll Department. He was employed for 27 years by The Colorado Mental Health Institute of Pueblo. Chuck was an Army Veteran. Chuck was a cool thinker who could handle himself well in a crisis. He was station in Frankfurt, Germany as a personnel specialist. He achieved the rank of E5. He showed leadership qualities and could make tough decisions when he was called upon to do so. Chuck enjoyed his leisure time by taking part in various hobbies. He had something of an artistic flair in many of the things that he did. He put this creativity toward all of his pastimes. His favorite pursuits were Spending time with Family, Musical Clocks, Eagles, Roosters. He was content to enjoy his hobbies alone but was also willing to share his interests with others. Because he liked to take risks, Chuck was a perfect match for athletics and exercise. He was enthusiastic and confident about these activities. Chuck was also something of a sports fan and enjoyed watching his favorite events whenever he got the opportunity. Tops on his list were Watching Nascar, Football. Chuck held close traditional values and as a result, faith was important to him. He was a member Our Lady of The Meadows, for 30 years. Travel and vacations were experiences that Chuck truly enjoyed. He preferred to seek out excitement wherever he went and he was partial to vacations that were casual and laid back with an atmosphere of "live and let live." He was willing to leave his plans open and flexible, just in case something more interesting came along. Favorite vacations included Hawaii, California, The Bahamas, The Carribean, and the Virgin Islands. Chuck was a lover of animals and cherished his pets. One of Chuck's favorites was Blondie, a Cocker Spaniel. They were best friends for 6 years. His family was rounded out by numerous Cats, Dogs, and Fish. When Chuck's retirement finally came in January 7th, 2010, he was well prepared. He used logical analysis of his retirement options in order to ensure his retirement would be fulfilling. Still, he was able to easily adapt to possible changes and enjoyed just having fun and being relaxed. His new life involved relocating to Heaven. Chuck passed away on January 7, 2010 at Sange De Cristo Hospice House in Pueblo, Colorado. Chuck fought a brave battle against cancer. He is survived by his Wife Theresa, his sons Jason and Bryon (Tracy). Services were held at Our Lady of The Meadows. Chuck was the kind of person who could win others over easily. A concrete communicator, he relied on his senses to increase his involvement and awareness of others. He was always able to provide amusing repartee to his friends and acquaintances, offering a seemingly endless supply of quips, anecdotes, jokes and stories. If Chuck had a theme song written about him, it might well have been "Don't Worry, Be Happy." He enjoyed his life and the experience of living it.

Bone, Tony Tony Bone - Pueblo Chieftain – May 31, 1917 – Deadly Gas Kills Three at C. F. & I. Steel Works – 2 Others Overcome, but Will Recover – Men Were Engaged at Work in Blast Furnace – Three men were killed by asphyxiation, and two others were overcome, while at work in blast furnace "D," at the Minnequa steel plant of the C. F. & I. Co., yesterday afternoon, when carbon monoxide gas, escaping from a ventilation pipe into the chamber in which they were working. The dead: Tony bone, 32, Italian, 608 Arroyo; Jacob Eppright, 32, Negro, 1220 Stone Ave.; William Hicks, 50, Negro, 1228 East Orman Ave. The injured were William Schwab, foreman; Louis Holts, laborer. Schwab and Holts escaped from the furnace when they felt the effects of the gas, the other three men refusing to leave because they claimed they were unable to notice any change in the atmosphere of the chamber in which they were working. A few moments later they were carried from the furnace unconscious and died on the way to the hospital. All the furnaces in what is known as blast furnace row at the steelworks are connected with a pipe which carries off the gas generated by the furnaces. Fearing that gas would escape from the pipe into the furnace of which he intended to work Schwab had taken precautions before entering at noon yesterday. The ventilation pipes were opened flooding the chamber with air and the water seal was turned into the gas pipe to prevent its escaping. Water Seal Inadequate – The water seal evidently proved inadequate as the man had been working for less than 2 hours when Schwab and Holts complained of being weak in the knees, the first symptoms of the effects of the gas. They asked the others that they were affected and then left. Schwab pushed Holts through a hole in the side of the furnace and himself climbed a ladder coming out on top of the furnace. He called to the others to crawl through a large opening at the bottom of the furnace but they disregarded the warning, it is stated, because they could not notice the effects of the gas, which is odorless. Schwab and Holts were partially revived by other workers who rush them to Minnequa hospital. Others went into the furnace and carried the trio out and called an ambulance. They died, however, before they reached the hospital. One of the men, Tony bone, was removed to the Davis and Vories Undertaking parlors where an inquest probably will be held sometime during the week. He was unidentified until 9 o'clock last night when his identity was established through his brass check number. Little is known of him except that he came here from St. Louis and has a wife and 2 children residing at 608 Arroyo St., this city. William Hicks came to Pueblo from Birmingham, Alabama, 10 years ago. He is survived by a wife and 3 children residing in this city. Jacob Uppright came here from Iola, Kan. He is survived by a wife residing in Pueblo and a father and mother residing in Iola. A complete investigation of the accident is being made by coroner Dr. Ray Taylor. Taylor was not notified of the accident until after the men had been removed to local Undertaking establishments, he says. For this reason he is making a thorough investigation and will call a jury to hold an inquest over the body of bone, with a view of determining the cause of the 3 deaths. Pueblo Chieftain - June 3, 1917 - The funeral of Tony Bonei will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home 912 Elm Street and at 2:30 from Mt. Carmel Church. Interment will be made in Roselawn Cemetery, in charge of Davis & Vories. Pueblo Chieftain – June 4, 1917 – Inquest Today – An inquest will be held this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Davis & Vories Chapel by Coroner Dr. Ray Taylor, to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the death of Tony Bone, one of three men asphyxiated in a blast furnace they were repairing at the Minnequa steel plant last week. The men were overcome by gas fumes that are supposed to have been generated from another furnace that was in operation at the time. Pueblo Chieftain – June 4, 1917 – The funeral of Tony Bone was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence and at 2:30 from Mount Carmel Church. Rev. Father Giglio conducted the services. The pallbearers were: Tony Viola, Joe Viola, Charles Meete, Tony Savoca, Joe Lio, and Vincencio Coneraldi. A delegation of the Sicilian society led by a band, escorted the body to the church. Interment was in Roselawn in charge of Davis-Vories. Pueblo Chieftain - June 5, 1917 - Death of Three Men Due to Negligence - Verdict of Jury at Inquest Over Body of Tony Bone, Asphyxiated by Gas in Blast Furnace - The Colorado Fuel and iron Company was found guilty of criminal negligence in connection with the death of Tony Bone, one of the three workmen asphyxiated in a blast furnace at the Minnequa plant Tuesday, by a coroner's jury yesterday afternoon. Bone and two Negros were killed by monoxide gas when other workmen starting to clean out a main allowed the gas to flow into the furnace without first learning whether there was anyone in the furnace. The jury reached its verdict after listening to testimony of two workmen who were rescued from the furnace, the two men who went into the gas-filled chamber in an effort to save the lives of three men lying at the bottom of the furnace and J. W. Acuff, assistant superintendent of the blast furnace department. William Schwab, foreman of the men cleaning out furnace D, the death trap, declared that he and four workmen had been inside the furnace 15 or 20 minutes and had started to take out the cooler when he suddenly began to grow weak. The gas created a fog thru which he saw the four workmen staggering like drunken men. Schwab said he believed the water seal had been let down, allowing the gas to fill the furnace. "I helped Louis Holst out and then started up the ladder. I collapsed just as I reached the outside air. Holst testified that he had scarcely detected a faint odor of gas when he began to reel. He said that the fog was so dense that he could scarcely see the other workmen. Holst declared that he came unconscious just as he was being helped toward the exit. Both Schwab and Holst testified that the gas rendered them unconscious in a minute's time. Brave Youths to Rescue - The testimony of Robert Mills and Charles Mowry disclosed that these two young men acted as volunteers to go down into the death trap filled with the monoxide gas in an effort to rescue Bone and the two Negros lying on the bottom of the furnace. At the risk of their own lives these two youths ventured into the furnace and brought forth the limp forms of the three men in the hope that there might still be life within them. Both said that the odor of the gas was sickeningly strong when they got into the death pit. The testimony of Acuff had much to do with the finding of the jury. Questioning by one of the jurors elicted the admission that the two groups of men working within the furnace and on the main were unaware of what the other was doing. The men starting to clean out the gas pipes did not know that the five men were in the furnace. Bonfadini, Leo G. Leo G. Bonfadini - Mullare-Murphy Funeral Home - December 06, 2004 - Leo G.

Albert Gallatin Boone - Last Monday night at 11:00 Col. Albert Gallatin Boone, the last of the grandsons of Daniel Boone, died in Denver at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. B.D. Spencer. His ailments could not be definitely defined by his physicians. They were a complication of diseases super-induced by old age and the exposure and hardships of frontier life. The funeral of the dead pioneer took place in Denver yesterday, and was largely attended by the old citizens and the public generally. Colonel Boone was one of the first white men who ever crossed the plains, having reached the Rockies nearly forty years ago. He was one of the first Indian agents ever appointed by the government. He is was who made the treaty with the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians for the possession of this portion of the country by the whites. He was intimately connected with Indian affairs until about three years ago, when he retired from public life. At the time of the uprising of the red men when General Custer was killed Colonel Boone was called on by the government and succeeded in pacifying the Indians. At the time of his death Colonel Boone was 78 years of age and his deathbed sufferings were alleviated by the presence of two of his daughters, Mrs. B.D. Spencer and Mrs. Captain Charles Hobart, the husbands of both of whom are now in service in Texas and Montana respectively. Boone, James Dale James Dale Boone - Pueblo Chieftain - April 7, 2012 - Wheelchair victim in accident dies - A 59-year-old man in a wheelchair hit by a driver in March died Friday, the coroner said. James Dale Boone died in private care from complications of injuries he sustained in a March 19 accident. "He had multiple traumatic injuries," Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said. Boone was struck about 10:30 p.m. crossing the street in a wheelchair near Second Street and Portland Avenue. He was hit by a 1997 Honda Civic driven by Connie Romero, 34. Boone was reportedly intoxicated at the time, according to Pueblo police, and Romero drove away from the scene but soon returned. Police recently forwarded the case to the District Attorney's office requesting charges for both Boone and Romero. On Friday, after learning about Boone's death, Sgt. Steve Zittel said there is a chance Romero could face an additional charge. "Any fatality 30 days after the accident is determined as a result of the accident, so (Romero) could be charged with his death," Zittel said. Pueblo Chieftain - April 15, 2012 - James D.

The truck swerved back across the road, rolling twice before landing partially on the median and on the highway, troopers said.

Pueblo Chieftain – August 27, 1919 – Jury Investigates Death of Bracco – Little light was shed on the killing of Frank Bracco, at the inquest held by coroner Campbell and a jury of 6 at the McCarthy Chapel. The killing, or rather the stabbing which resulted in Bracco's death, occurred at the lime quarry at Livesy, 12 miles West of Pueblo on August 21. Seven witnesses had been summoned by Deputy Sheriff Deliquadri, but some of them knew just about nothing and most of them not very much. It did reveal, however, that following the quarrel which Bracco had with the Mexican José Garcia, they were seen to be throwing rocks at each other; then they came together and Garcia used a long knife with which he several times stabbed Bracco in the stomach. It was also proven, as previously stated, that the quarrel arose over the time due Garcia who had quit the job as laborer. A matter of 4 hours was the bone of contention. The Italian and the Mexican spoke Mexican during their quarrel, the Italian witnesses stated, and they could not understand what the 2 combatants were saying. No news of the whereabouts of Garcia has been received, further than that he came to Pueblo the night after the trouble, and told another Mexican that he was going to catch a freight train for the East.

Braddock, Harry Harry Braddock - Yuma Pioneer - October 16, 1914 - Three Die in Wreck - Twenty-Ton Rock Demolishes Train at Grand Junction - Fourteen Others Seriously Hurt When Boulder Smashes Two Cars on Rio Grande Road - Grand Junction - Three persons were killed and fourteen others seriously injured when a twenty-ton boulder crashed 100 feet into the day coach and smoker of westbound passenger train No. 3, eighteen miles east of this city. The heavy missile is believed to have been loosened from the cliff by frost. It was preceded by a smaller boulder which struck the coupling between the tender and smoker, parting the train. Automatic air brakes brought the separated section to a stop. A moment later the massive rock was catapulted upon the smoker and day coach. The two cars, despite their all-steel construction, were crushed to bits. The dead: H. R. Hollingsbery, Pueblo, traveling salesman; Thomas C. Linkens, Grand Junction, branch manager Ridenour Baker Grocery Company; Harry Braddock, Chicago. The seriously injured: Ralph Arthur Cox, marine recruit, Boulder, en route to San Francisco, head gashed, left leg crushed, rib fractured, hands bruised; Adna Bratingham, Alliance, Ohio, badly bruised and nervous shock; Emmett Abbott, Sacramento, left ear torn off, severe bruises; Mrs. Stella Maynard, Fruita, Colo., forehead gashed; Audrey Harrington, her daughter, scalp lacerated; W. E. Lewis, Roberts, Idaho, severe bruises; Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Black, Atkinson, Ill., arms bruised, nervous shock, minor injuries; Richard Mackay, Alhambra, Cal., left arm and wrist bruised; D. F. Wilson, Brazil, Ind., side hurt; Falcom Joslin, Fairbanks, Alaska, hip bruised; E. V. Springer, Denver, right shoulder bruised; Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, Grand Junction, nervous shock; Mrs. F. A. Selinger, Salida, hip and head bruised. Railroad men are unable to explain how the other occupants of the car escaped with their lives. Despite the destruction of the two cars, at least twenty men, women and children escaped practically unhurt. At the point where the wreck occurred, the tracks closely parallel the Grand river and cliffs, from which the huge boulder fell, rise sheer hundreds of feet above the river bank. Much of the wreckage of the two cars was plunged into the swift mountain stream. Note: Harold Hollingsberry was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado. Braden, Charles (Lieut.) Lieut. Charles Braden – Pueblo Chieftain – January 16, 1919 – Lieut. Charles Braden Dies; 72 Years Old – Highland Falls, N.Y., January 15 – Lieut. Charles Braden, USA, who was retired from service in 1878 because of wounds received in Custer's campaigns against the Sioux, and who has since conducted a preparatory school for West Point candidates, died at his home here today. He was appointed to West Point from Grand Rapids, Mich., and was graduated in the class of 1869. He was 72 years of age. Lieut. Braden received the wounds that caused his retirement four years after his graduation from West Point, while in charge of a scouting party of 17 men on the Big Horn River in Montana. The incident is described in the official report of General Custer, which tells of an engagement between Lieut. Braden's command and a band of 200 Sioux Indians. "Braden received a rifle ball through the upper part of his thigh, passing directly through the bone," the report says, "but he maintained his position with great gallantry and coolness until he had repulsed the enemy." After this battle Braden was carried 400 miles on a litter to Fort Abraham Lincoln in Dakota. During his early years of service, Braden was on scouting duty in Colo. and Kan., marching over 2,000 miles in one summer. Later he was transferred to South Carolina in connection with Ku Klux Klan trouble, then to New Orleans during the political trouble of 1873 before he was returned to duty on the western planes. Bradfield, R. S. R. S. Bradfield - Pueblo Indicator - June 22, 1935 - Fatal Auto Accident - R. S. Bradfield and E. A. Ellis, businessmen of Denver, were killed in an automobile accident last Monday morning, June 17, about 10 miles north of Pueblo when their car upset in passing a truck. Both men were rushed to St. Mary's hospital. That section of the Pueblo-Colorado Springs road has been the scene of many bad accidents. Bradford, Allen Alexander Allen Alexander Bradford - Pueblo Chieftain - February 23, 2010 - Pioneer pair: Bradfords deserve plenty of credit for civic foundation - Pueblo owes much to the Bradford brothers. Allen Alexander and Mark Gay Bradford were local pioneers, but not of the buckskin variety. Their style was more uptown and it's likely that they often dressed in suits. Allen was a lawyer, the first district judge appointed for this area and a territorial delegate to Congress who was known for his "encyclopedic" mind. Mark was town clerk, postmaster, school board member and probate judge. Descendants of William Bradford, governor of Plymouth Colony in 17-century Massachusetts, the local Bradfords were born in Friendship, Maine -- Allen in 1815, Mark in 1825. They arrived here in the early 1860s, Allen taking a more circuitous route: Succumbing to the siren song of California gold, he headed west in 1850 but soon returned to Missouri and then settled in Iowa. He came west again in 1860 and set up a private law practice in Central City, then moved to Pueblo in 1862. He and his wife Emmeline Cowles had one son, Thomas, and they lived on East Second Street. Mark and his wife Harriet Morse settled here in 1861 on the west side of Fountain Creek, but later moved out of the floodplain, up to Tenderfoot Hill or Goat Hill as it's now known. They had four children, though one died at age 5, and lived in an adobe house at 321 Bradford St. when the area was largely open countryside. Within a couple of decades, large houses stood on Bradford and nearby Albany (then Summit) and Chester avenues, but by then Mark had been widowed and had moved to North Greenwood Street. The Bradford name probably is best known for its association with the street, with the elementary school on Pueblo's lower East Side and with the Pueblo County Courthouse, where a life-size portrait of Allen hangs outside the commissioners' chambers. The school is thought to have been named for Mark because he helped organize Pueblo's School District 1 and was elected school board president in 1870. Built in 1892 at what is now First and LaCrosse, the school originally was named Capitol School because LaCrosse was called Capitol at the time. George Roe was architect for the brick school, which was erected at a cost of $16,500. The school building was razed in 1947 -- it had cracked badly because the foundation had been laid in shale. Children went to other schools for a year and barracks for temporary classrooms were brought in from Pueblo Army Air Base in fall 1948. A new Bradford School was built, and opened in 1954. Allen Bradford was elected as a territorial delegate to the 39th Congress in 1864 and, when President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, he was among the dignitaries appointed to accompany the president's remains back to Illinois. He was elected to a second term in Congress in 1868. Allen returned to Pueblo in 1871 and resumed his law practice. He was instrumental in getting a U.S. land office for Pueblo, which opened in 1871, and his brother Mark was appointed receiver for the office. Allen was credited with a new county courthouse being built in 1872 without the county incurring debt. It was the second courthouse and was located where the current (third) Pueblo County Courthouse stands today. (The first was built of logs, with a dirt roof, in 1862 near Third Street and Santa Fe Avenue at a cost of $300.) Allen's service in Congress had familiarized him with a Congressional act that authorized the setting aside of a quarter-section of government land at the county seat for county purposes. In this tract of land, which became known as the County Addition, one block was set aside for the courthouse and the rest was divided up into lots and sold; proceeds from the sale of the lots paid for the new brick courthouse. Allen also was appointed county attorney in 1872 and held that position for many years. Upon his death on March 13, 1888, The Pueblo Chieftain opined, "We have rarely ever noted the career of a man so peculiarly his own, not only in originality of mind and general characteristics, but in point of historical knowledge and varied experience, as Judge Bradford." Allen Bradford was buried at North Side (now Pueblo Pioneer) Cemetery. His wife and son both died in 1915. Emmeline Bradford also was buried at the North Side Cemetery. Mark Bradford was an original trustee when the town of Pueblo was incorporated in 1870; there were 666 people living here at the time. He also was town clerk for just one month in 1871. He and his wife were charter members of First Baptist Church in 1872 and Mark served as the church clerk and as a trustee from 1872 until 1891, the year of his death. "No man in the city of Pueblo enjoyed the entire confidence and respect of his fellow men more than did Mark G. Bradford," stated his obituary in the Aug. 17, 1891, Pueblo Chieftain. "He was a consistent member of the Baptist church and his life was one without blemish or stain of any kind. After a life of quiet and unobtrusive usefulness he has passed to the other shore, regretted and beloved by a large circle of friends and acquaintances." As probate judge, he issued the deeds for most of the city lots in the original survey of Pueblo, according to the Chieftain. Mark Bradford's death and that of George M. Chilcott earlier that year further decreased the rapidly thinning ranks of the "hardy pioneers who made the first settlement on the banks of the Arkansas . . . The exposure, trials and privations of frontier life do not appear to be conducive to longevity," the Chieftain concluded. Mark died at the home of his son, Ambrose, in the Dundee area on the North Side.

Bradford, died at Pueblo on the 14th. Bradford, Mark Gay Mark Gay Bradford - Pueblo Chieftain - February 23, 2010 - Pioneer pair: Bradfords deserve plenty of credit for civic foundation - Pueblo owes much to the Bradford brothers. Allen Alexander and Mark Gay Bradford were local pioneers, but not of the buckskin variety. Their style was more uptown and it's likely that they often dressed in suits. Allen was a lawyer, the first district judge appointed for this area and a territorial delegate to Congress who was known for his "encyclopedic" mind. Mark was town clerk, postmaster, school board member and probate judge. Descendants of William Bradford, governor of Plymouth Colony in 17-century Massachusetts, the local Bradfords were born in Friendship, Maine -- Allen in 1815, Mark in 1825. They arrived here in the early 1860s, Allen taking a more circuitous route: Succumbing to the siren song of California gold, he headed west in 1850 but soon returned to Missouri and then settled in Iowa. He came west again in 1860 and set up a private law practice in Central City, then moved to Pueblo in 1862. He and his wife Emmeline Cowles had one son, Thomas, and they lived on East Second Street. Mark and his wife Harriet Morse settled here in 1861 on the west side of Fountain Creek, but later moved out of the floodplain, up to Tenderfoot Hill or Goat Hill as it's now known. They had four children, though one died at age 5, and lived in an adobe house at 321 Bradford St. when the area was largely open countryside. Within a couple of decades, large houses stood on Bradford and nearby Albany (then Summit) and Chester avenues, but by then Mark had been widowed and had moved to North Greenwood Street. The Bradford name probably is best known for its association with the street, with the elementary school on Pueblo's lower East Side and with the Pueblo County Courthouse, where a life-size portrait of Allen hangs outside the commissioners' chambers. The school is thought to have been named for Mark because he helped organize Pueblo's School District 1 and was elected school board president in 1870. Built in 1892 at what is now First and LaCrosse, the school originally was named Capitol School because LaCrosse was called Capitol at the time. George Roe was architect for the brick school, which was erected at a cost of $16,500. The school building was razed in 1947 -- it had cracked badly because the foundation had been laid in shale. Children went to other schools for a year and barracks for temporary classrooms were brought in from Pueblo Army Air Base in fall 1948. A new Bradford School was built, and opened in 1954.

Bragdon is in Batavia, Ills., where doubtless by this time his wife is at rest, as she was stated to be dying when he left Sunday night. This terribly sad case has stirred the sympathy of all the city. Mr. Bragdon is the Pueblo manager of the large wholesale grocery firm of McCord, Bragdon & Co., a branch of the McCord house of St. Joseph. Less than two months ago he had one of the happiest homes to be found anywhere, his treasures being a wife and two little girls. Then Katy, the oldest, became sick with pneumonia. Mrs. Bragdon while waiting upon the children was overwrought with sleeplessness and anxiety, and suddenly became raving crazy. In the middle of the night she picked up the little sick girl, shook and beat and struck her, threw her down, then did likewise to the baby. Then she rushed out in the wintry air, clad only in night robes, and ran two blocks through the streets before her distracted husband, with the help of neighbors, could find and overtake her. She was pronounced hopelessly insane and taken to a private asylum in Illinois. Mrs. Bragdon's insanity was so violent that, although she was a small, slight, almost fragile woman, three men had all they could do to hold her. In one of the struggles with her she severely bit one of the lady friends who were lending their assistance. All her instincts became reversed. Those she most loved could not be brought into her presence, because she would instantly rave with fierce hatred. Always the embodiment of gentleness, a dainty, tender student of the good and beautiful, a perfect lady, she became suddenly a terror. Mrs. Bragdon was a person of rare culture and grace, had traveled much, possessed a high education, was a graphic writer and was one of the few women who had visited the mystical North cape, far away in the Arctic ocean. Her published descriptive letters of that journey were widely read. Little Katy died soon after her mother's terrible attack, and the little coffin, already buried in flowers, was taken on the same train which conveyed the poor woman away to Illinois, unconscious of her double loss.

Braun, Adolph Adolph Braun – Pueblo Chieftain – April 16, 1918 – Adolph Braun, age 42 years, a traveling representative of a well-known eastern leather tannery, died at a local hospital last evening after a brief illness. The remains were removed to the United Funeral Home where they are held to await the receipt of instructions from relatives. Pueblo Chieftain – April 19, 1918 – Salesman Dies Suddenly Here Left Large Estate – That Adolph Braun, the suitcase salesman, who died in Pueblo, April 15, at a local hotel from a stroke of paralysis, was possessed of an estate valued at many thousand dollars, has developed through the investigations being conducted by J. D. King, public administrator, assisted by B. F. Koperlik. At present only $135 in cash in a local bank has been located together with a watch and other personal belongings of the traveling salesman. But among his affects were papers which show that Braun had between $7,000 and $8,000 in cash at a Chicago bank. Braun was known throughout the West. He weighed more than 300 pounds and was regarded as one of the most successful salesman making this territory. He talked but little about himself and it is believed he left no relatives to claim his estate. Some of his friends state that he mentioned that he had a wife, residing in Australia. Braun is said to have been of Austrian dissent. There is nothing in his affects to indicate that he had a wife or any living relative. In case no relatives are located the estate which is largely cash and bank and valuable negotiable securities including stocks and bonds, will revert to the state. Braun died suddenly last Monday and as no relatives could be located the body was buried in Roselawn Cemetery. The man left no will or any oral instructions in regard to his funeral or the disposition of his fortune. Pueblo Chieftain – April 19, 1918 – The funeral of Adolph Braun was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the United Funeral Home. Interment was in the Jewish Cemetery. Pueblo Chieftain – April 26, 1918 – Relative Found for Big Estate – Adolph Braun, suitcase salesman who died suddenly in the city of paralysis two weeks ago, left a sister, Mrs. B. N. Lassler, residing in N.Y., according to a telegram received yesterday by J. D. King, conservator of estates for the county court. Addresses of friends were found in the effects of Braun and letters were written inquiring about his relatives. It is supposed the telegram received yesterday was a result of letters sent out. A portion of Braun's estate has been located in a Washington bank and amounts to about $8,000. Braun weighed about 300 pounds and was widely known in Colo. and adjoining states among the merchants whom he has visited for years as a traveling salesman. In the telegram received yesterday, the brother-in-law of Braun, announced that he was the executor of the estate. This would indicate that Braun left a will. No will was discovered in his affects here and nothing to indicate where relatives could be located. Braun was buried here, a few acquaintances and the officials of the County court looking after the funeral arrangements. He had sufficient cash among his affects and in Pueblo banks to more than pay the expense of the funeral.

Theodore F. Braun - Sierra Journal - May 22, 1884 - Died at his home in Pueblo on Thursday the 15th inst. at 2 o'clock p.m., Theo F Braun. The above will be read with deep feelings of sorrow by Professor Braun's many friends in Custer County. He was a resident of Rosita for a number of years and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He left a wife and three small children who have the heart felt sympathies of all our citizens, in their great affliction. The Pueblo Chieftain of the 16th contains the following: "Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock Theadore Braun breathed his last at his home in East Pueblo. The deceased had been sick for the past three or four months with dropsy, and from the first, the doctors stated that he could not live. Shortly after being taken sick he was removed to the Sisters' hospital on the mesa, where he remained for a number of weeks. Under the best of medical advice and the kind and watchful care of the Sisters, he steadily improved, and about a week ago concluded that he was well enough to return to his home and he did so. After returning home he suffered a relapse, and the attending physician at once concluded that he could not live longer than a few days, and his death has been hourly expected until he died yesterday afternoon. The deceased is well and favorably known in Southern Colorado, and especially in Pueblo, he having settled in this city about twelve years ago, where he resided for a number of years, serving the people two terms in the capacity of county surveyor. He afterward removed to Rosita, in Custer county, where he established an assay office and built up a reputation as one of the most reliable and trustworthy assayers, and one of the most expert mineralogists in Colorado. About six or eight months ago he returned to Pueblo and formed a partnership with Joseph Luce in the assaying business. Shortly after the formation of the firm, Mr. Braun was taken seriously sick, with no prospect of an early recovery", and the firm dissolved. Deceased was a German by birth and was a finely educated man. During his residence in Pueblo he gathered around himself a large circle of friends. He was of a genial disposition, well informed and a man whom to know was to like because of his honest, upright conduct and outspoken views. He was married several years ago, and leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss, to whom the sympathy of the entire community will be extended them in their hour of great affliction.

Breen, Mary Mary Breen - Pueblo Indicator - August 2, 1913 - Drowned in Bessemer Ditch - Aged Woman is the Victim on This Occasion - The treacherous waters of the Bessemer ditch claimed their second victim in July on last Monday when Mrs. Mary Breen, aged 80 years, and who for a long time had been a nurse at St. Mary's hospital, fell in the ditch and was drowned. Several hours afterward her dead body was found floating on the surface of the water where the ditch passes through the steel works yards and pulled out. Identification was soon established. The victim of the drowning was said to have been acting strangely of late and occasionally wandered away from the hospital. Her aged husband is a care taker around that institution. It must be a very poor excuse of a fence that does not afford a sufficient barrier to keep an aged and feeble old woman from getting through it. Only a week previously a 7-year-old boy fell into the ditch and was drowned. What to do about the ditch is becoming a serious problem. Pueblo Indicator – August 2, 1913 – Woman, 75, Drowns Self in Ditch – Pueblo – With her right hand clasped tightly about three copper cents, the body of Mrs. Mary Breene, 75, a wardwoman at St. Mary's hospital, was found floating in the Bessemer ditch inside the steel works enclosure. She had been acting strangely at the institution and searching parties had been organized when word reached the hospital that she was dead. The woman is survived by a husband, Leo Breene, 75, also an attaché of the hospital. He was prostrated at the news of her death and, owing to his age and feeble condition, it is doubtful if he will survive the shock.

Brewton, Ronald Ronald Brewton - Pueblo Chieftain - July 28, 1994 - Fiery Crash Kills Driver - Wreck Halts Traffic For Nine Hours - Traffic backs up on I-25 near the First Street exit after the interstate was closed. An Aurora truck driver died in a fiery crash early Wednesday when his double-tank semi truck slammed into a bridge abutment on Interstate 25 at Santa Fe Avenue. The impact partially ruptured the truck's tanks, causing several tons of the cargo - 75,000 pounds of hydrated white lime powder - to spill onto the roadway. The interstate was closed from about 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. as more than 60 workers labored to untangle the wreckage and clean up the mess. Police identified the driver as Ronald Brewton, 51, of 2325 Oakland in Aurora, a driver for Don Ward Transport vehicles. He died at the scene of massive head and internal injuries and it took rescue workers almost nine hours to free his body from the wreckage. Joe Martinez, who lives about a half a block from the bridge, said he had just gotten home from work and was reading the morning newspaper just before 7 a.m. when he heard a loud explosion. "I heard this loud bang and I dropped my newspaper and ran out," said Martinez. "I saw this large puff of that white stuff (lime) and then I saw the flames by the gas tank. Two or three minutes later, I saw a cloud of black smoke." Seven hours later, Martinez, who works for Andrews Produce, was still at the scene helping police officers direct traffic around the accident site. The diesel fire was visible from as far away as Pueblo West before it was doused by firefighters. Deputy Police Chief Ron Gravatt said the rig - which included a semi-tractor, and a double-solid material tanker trailer - was headed south when the driver lost control about 100 yards north of the bridge over the Arkansas River. The truck rolled onto one side and slid along the concrete center divider until it struck the bridge embankment. The cab remained on the roadway, but part of the trailer slammed into the void between the two bridges. Investigators were speculating that a combination of excessive speed and a heavy load caused Brewton to lose control of his rig. A hazardous-materials team from the Colorado State Patrol vacuumed most of the remaining hydrated lime from the truck's tanks before it could be righted and removed from the scene. According to one unidentified member of the hazardous-materials team, hydrated lime is used in a variety of building materials, including concrete, masonry, mortar and stucco. It can be hazardous if swallowed, inhaled or mixed with moisture and touched by unprotected skin. By mid-morning, Kirk Ray, emergency-services coordinator with the Salvation Army, had set up a food-service station for the rescue workers, firemen, and members of the news media. Initially, Ray was offering coffee, punch and water and a few sweet snacks. Just after noon, reinforcement box lunches, soft drinks and fruits sent by King Soopers stores and McDonald's restaurants arrived. With the interstate closed for most of the day, traffic on Pueblo streets was extremely heavy. At least a dozen minor accidents were reported Downtown along the detour routes. Brgoch, Ann R. Ann R.

The cabin again provided family and friends with many lasting memories for 30-plus years. All the family remembers Dad getting up early to stoke the wood-burning stove so that he could prepare the most delicious breakfasts for all. Tom and Bertha were exceedingly sad when the U.S. Forest Service bought out all the land and cabins around Twin Lakes. However, this provided them with the opportunity to begin their travels during retirement. Each winter you could find them in the Needles and Southern California areas enjoying the warm weather and making friends in all locations they visited. They relocated to Thomasville, Ga., in 2002 to be near family. Tom was preceded in death by his wife, Bertha Miller Brooke; sister, Alma Brooke Bennet; stepsister, Betty Hunter; and brother, Wesley Brooke. Tom is survived by his three sons, C. William Brooke (Rose), Yontville, Calif., Jerry Kirk Brooke (Lucy), Thomasville, Ga., and Thomas Scott Brooke (Sherry), Waunakee, Wis. He also is survived by seven grandchildren, 12 great- grandchildren and several great-great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on the summit of Quail Mountain, Twin Lakes, Colo., next summer.

Brown Is Ill at Hospital – B. B. Brown, Pres. of the Western National Bank is at Minnequa Hospital seriously ill. Physicians, however, hold out hope for his recovery as his condition last night was much better than it was throughout the day. Mr. Brown returned Thursday from Excelsior Springs, Mo., where he underwent treatment in hopes of benefiting his health. He did improve and believed himself well enough to return to Pueblo. The long journey, however, proved too arduous and he suffered a relapse shortly after arriving home. Yesterday morning his condition became alarming and he was taken to the hospital last night where it was said that he was much better. Pueblo Chieftain – April 29, 1918 – B. B. Brown Pueblo Banker and Once Mayor Is Dead – Well Known Citizen Fails to Rally Despite Physicians Efforts – Benjamin B. Brown, once a Mayor of Pueblo, financier and capitalist and for 20 years President of the Western National Bank, one of the strong financial institutions of Pueblo and Southern Colo., died at 9 o'clock last night at Minnequa Hospital from heart trouble from which he had been suffering for some time past. Recently Mr. Brown's physicians advised him to try a lower altitude and he went to Excelsior Springs, Mo., where he took the baths. His condition became critical and he returned to Pueblo on Thursday of last week. Weakened by the journey home, he was taken to Minnequa Hospital Friday night. For the past two days he had been in a semi-conscious condition most of the time and it was realized by his relatives and friends that the end was near. Mr. Brown was born in Ill. and was 69 years old. His early life was spent in train service of various railroads, mostly as conductor on passenger trains. He ran out of Omaha, Neb., over the Union Pacific and handled one of the first regular passenger trains over Union Pacific when that line was completed across the continent to the Pacific. From the Union Pacific he went to the Mo., Kan. and Texas Road and was a passenger conductor for a number of years between Parsons, Kan. and Denison, Texas, making his home at Denison, Texas. He left the railroad service at Denison, Texas, and coming to Colo. about 1893 he opened a bank at Lamar. Later he was prominent in the consolidation of three banks at Lamar into the present bank now operating in that city. In the fall of 1896 he came to Pueblo and purchased the interest of General Holden in the Central National Bank of Pueblo. In the spring of 1898, about 20 years ago, he affected a consolidation of three Central National and Western National banks and was elected president of the Western National. Under his management the Western National developed into one of the strong and influential financial institutions of Southern Colo. For years it was located at C St. and S. Union Ave. and was removed to Second and Main Streets a few years ago. When Judge Rizer resigned as Mayor of Pueblo, a special election was held to fill out the unexpired term and B. B. Brown was chosen Mayor. This was in 1903 and he was reelected at the regular election which followed shortly afterward. He has been prominent in Republican politics in the city and state during most of his long residence in Pueblo. Mr. Brown is survived by his wife who resides at 407 W. 13th St. Democratic in his manner and dealings with his fellow man, he had a wide personal acquaintance and hundreds of close friends and business associates who held him in the highest regard and esteem. His influence in commercial circles was widely felt and his death will be sincerely mourned. The body is at Davis & Vories Undertaking company and will be shipped to Marengo, Ill. for burial in that city. Pueblo Chieftain – April 30, 1918 – Services Held over Body of B. B.

She was married in Clinton, Ill., November 28, 1850. She is survived by the following 7 children: Julius D. Brown, Ranch Pass, Oregon; J. Will Brown, Seattle, Wash.; C. V. Brown, Bunnell, Florida; A.

Brown - Daily Rocky Mountain News - December 28, 1873 - A Suicide - On Wednesday last Mr. E. F. Brown, of Pueblo, arrived in this city from the south and registered at the Tremont house. He was placed in room No. 35, and during his sojourn visited his many friends about the city, where he is well acquainted. When he returned to the hotel on Friday night Brown left explicit word with the clerk to have him called yesterday morning in time for the Denver and Rio Grande train. A porter was sent up at an early hour, but Brown made no response, and as he was in the habit of sleeping late it was supposed that he had made up his mind to not go and was enjoying another nap. About two o'clock he had not made his appearance, and the chambermaid again went to his room, and, knocking, heard groans from within. She gave the alarm to the hotel clerk, and he, bursting open the door, found Brown lying in a state of unconsciousness and breathing heavily. Medical aid was at once summoned, and in a few minutes Drs. Bancroft and Parker arrived and did all that lay in their power to save the poor man's life. It was evident that poison had been taken, and upon an investigation of the premises being made, a paper bearing a Steinbauer & Walbrach label, and marked “morphine,” was found. The doctors applied a galvanic battery to the dying man, but all the remedies proved unavailing, and at six o'clock he died. The deceased was about thirty-five years of age, and was engaged in restaurant keeping at Pueblo. He leaves a wife. Formerly Brown was a grocery dealer at Mt. Vernon, Jefferson county, and was well known to business men here and elsewhere about the territory. It is not known whether he committed suicide or died from the effects of an overdose of morphine administered to relieve pain. He had not expressed himself as suffering in any particular or as being in any trouble, and his sudden death was very much of a mystery. No clue to the cause was left behind. The coroner's jury, which sat last night, returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death through the effects of morphine administered by his own hand.

Pueblo Chieftain – May 1, 1917 – Boy, 13, Seeking Discharge from Service in U.S. Navy – "Born, January 27, 1904. Enlisted in the U.S. Navy January 20, 1917, arrived at naval training quarters January 27, 1917. Aged 13 years. The above is a record of Carl L. Howard, the son of Thomas L. Howard of Pueblo, who has established the record of being the youngest member of the United States Navy at the present time if not the youngest enlisted recruit ever received in the Navy of Uncle Sam. Young Howard, however, did not enlist of his own accord according to his story told yesterday just previous to going back to the training quarters on the lake north of Chicago. He claims that his stepfather forced him to enlist and compelled him to give his age at the Pueblo office as 17 years. The young man would easily pass for that age, being 5 feet and 5 inches in height and weighing about 140 pounds. The young man's love for his mother came very nearly getting him in bad with the naval officers. On receiving a letter from her that she had not long to live, Howard left the training quarters and started for home. He got as far as Kansas City before he was apprehended. There for the first time he told of the circumstances of his enlistment and gave his true age. The officers at that point secured a permit for him to come on home, but he failed to reach here before his mother, Mrs. Nettie May Bublitz, died. Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock he took the train for his training quarters but his case is being investigated by the Navy Dept. and it is likely that if he insists on leaving the service, that Uncle Sam will be compelled to release the youngest naval recruit ever received. Howard gives as his excuse for getting out of the service that he wants to be home with his father who knew nothing of his enlistment until two weeks after he was gone. His three-month service has told wonderfully on his physical appearance and his father is willing for him to remain in Uncle Sam's service.

Knox Burton died at the family home, 2418 3rd Ave., this city, at 10:10 last night, following an illness of several months. He was 60 years old last Saturday, November 15. When death came Mr. Burton was surrounded by his wife and son and daughter. Mr. Burton was born and reared in New York City, where he received his earlier education. He was graduated from a N.Y. school and a law course, and admitted to the bar, but never followed the profession at any time in his life. He was forced to leave N.Y. and come west because of poor health and Colo. was chosen by him as the place wherein he would regain his strength and health. Thirty-four years ago he came to Pueblo, and he soon went to work with a railway crew in the vicinity of Las Vegas. He spent all of that first summer in outdoor work and that fall returned to Pueblo feeling much better than he had when he first arrived in the city. After returning to Pueblo he worked at the Union Depot for some time and then secured employment in a real estate office and he continued in that position for some time. He was a member of the Pueblo Volunteer Fire Dept. he then went to work for The Pueblo Chieftain and for several years was employed in a reportorial capacity, and later became city editor of the paper, a position which he filled with marked success. Tiring of this employment he went to Cripple Creek where he soon made quite a name for himself in local and political circles. He was the holder of several offices, being the chief of police, chief of the fire dept., and the justice of peace all at the same time. Mr. Burton remained in that city until the strike disorders there and he then returned to Pueblo. On his return to this city he went to work for the Star-Journal where he remained for several years. While with the latter paper he was given the opportunity to manage that Democratic campaigns and he was made county chairman for that party. This place was held for some time by Mr. Burton until in 1905 he was appointed to replace L. B. Strait, who had resigned to go to Calif., as clerk of the district court. Mr. Burton continued in this office for 6 years, and his work was well received. In 1911 he was one of the 21 members of the charter convention which drew up the charter for the city of Pueblo. He helped to piece together the charter, and was one of the 5 original commissioners to hold office under the commission form of government he became the first commissioner of finances, supplies and public safety, and was elected for a term of 2 years. At the expiration of his term of office he was a candidate for re-election and was again chosen, this time for a four-year period. The next election in 1917 Mr. Burton sought another term in office but was not successful. After stepping from the city affairs Mr. Burton accepted a place with the Sunville Baking Co. in which position he continued until about a year ago when he was appointed to a place in the office of the alien property custodian at Wash., D. C. He had been a member of that department for more than a year, and had just received a leave of absence to return to Colo. for the benefit of his health. When taken sick it was necessary for Mr. Burton to secure an extension of leave, but his quest for health was in vain. J. Knox Burton was a man of unusual activity, mental and physical; he possessed the initiative to a marked degree; he was an organizer of far more than average ability; he was noted for his ambition, and was a man of strong likes and dislikes, and like all men possessing the qualities of open opposition to those things he was not for, and tenacious adherence to the principles he thought right, he made real friends and active enemies. He was a builder, a man who will be sorely missed by the community. He was a devoted husband and father, a man of a rare degree of public spirit, the possessor of marked ability, and an honest man. Mr. Burton was a member of South Pueblo Lodge 31, A. F. & A. M., of Elks Lodge No. 90, of Knights of Pythias No. 52, Knights of Malta, No. 447, of Woodmen of the World, No. 2, and of the First Presbyterian Church.

Pressy, in Charge of Identification – Pueblo, June 7 – Forty-two bodies of flood victims were in the morgues of the city tonight. Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified… The official list of dead follows: … John Buthobich… None of the 31 (?) recovered bodies between Pueblo and Boone reported last night by the rangers are included in this list. Likewise it does not contain the names of persons merely believed to have perished. Only bodies actually in the three morgues that are in operation are included. 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. Note: John Buthobich was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado, under the name of John Butkovich.

Butt, William William Butt - Pueblo Chieftain - March 8, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1918 - 1919 - Pueblo Goes to War and a Deadly Flu Strikes - Look out, Kaiser! Here comes Bessemer!" That was the sign at Union Depot one chilly April morning in 1918 as another contingent of boisterous Pueblo draftees headed off to Army training camps in California and Kansas - just part of the 16,000 Pueblo-area men who registered for the draft in World War I. Pueblo's newspapers were bursting with pride as American soldiers, dubbed "Sammies" by reporters, began heading overseas that spring… It had to be a frightening time for Pueblo families because the newspapers were full of stories of terrible fighting in blood-drenched France. Gas attacks and terrible artillery barrages. Meanwhile, Pueblo's boys were writing home about life in Army camps, letters that often were printed in the papers. Innocent and sentimental accounts of "good chow" and high morale... Pueblo, like the nation, was on an austerity budget to help with the war effort. There were "wheatless" days and "lightless" nights. When the regional federal fuel administrator suggested that Pueblo citizens might want to "go to bed an hour early" or conduct combined church services to help conserve coal, Pueblo churches immediately sent back a terse "no thank you." All the patriotic fanfare, however, was dimmed a little on Feb. 6 when the troop ship Tuscania was torpedoed and sunk, killing hundreds. On board was Pvt. Paul A. Williams of Pueblo. He was the first of 52 local men who would die in the war. Pueblo families had to be anxious as they knew their sons and brothers (as well as daughters who were Red Cross nurses) came ever closer to the endless trenches and carnage of The Front. On March 1, a dispatch from Gen. John J. Pershing's headquarters in France said that Lt. Robert R. Cooper had been wounded in fighting. "Bob" Cooper, a South Sider, was praised for being the "first Puebloan to take a Hun bullet for his country." But April brought news of U.S. troops in heavy fighting in France and suddenly the Army dispatches became terse and grim. The Pueblo newspapers began printing the daily casualty lists. First of a dozen names. Then another 50 names. The stories only gave the soldiers' names and ranks, not their hometowns. The names were divided by categories: killed in action, died from wounds, missing, died from disease, or wounded. On April 10, a frighteningly long casualty list of 400 names was published, taking columns of print. But that would quickly become routine. By July 1, more than 5,000 "Sammies" had been killed and 6,000 wounded… All summer, the fighting raged in Europe, even though it was clear that Germany and Austria were at the end of their strength. Of course, the fresh American units were being pushed into the fighting and Pueblo's boys were now appearing on the lists of the killed: Carl Simonson, Dean N. Jenks, Charles Merriam, William Butt, Steve Lucero, Luther Collins. Butterfield, George III George Butterfield III - Pueblo Chieftain - September 8, 2010 - George Butterfield III passed away Aug. 30, 2010.

George is survived by his brothers, Tommy, Patrick, Keith; sister, Kathleen; his mother, Mary; and children, George, Joseph and Thomas. Memorial vigil, 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, at the gazebo off of Victoria at the Riverwalk. Butts, Burton W. Burton W. Butts - Pueblo Chieftain - August 24, 2011 - Burton W.

Pueblo Chieftain – May 8, 1919 – Finds Photo of Son in Group Picture – A picture of his son caught the father's eye, and now an enlarged photograph of the dead soldier is being made for the parents' home. A stranger was walking down Main Street in Pueblo yesterday, and the large group picture of Pueblo drafted soldiers made by the Y. M. C. A. and placed in the show window at White & Davis store, attracted his attention. He paused and scrutinized the different groups, and in that of August 9, 1918, he beheld the picture of his own son, M. A. Butt, the death of whom he had just recently received official notification from Washington. The son died of pneumonia immediately on arrival in France last October, and the father received telegraphic announcement at the time, but had heard nothing more until the official letter came to him a few days ago. The parents had no picture of their son, and the one in his soldier group brought to the father great pleasure. He hastened to the Y. M. C. A. and secured a copy of the photograph of the son and is having an enlarged one made for their home. Sec. B. V. Ruppel says that the pleasure coming from this one incident is worth many times the expense and labor of gathering and preparing the group photograph. There are photos of several Pueblo boys in the groups who will never return – having either been killed or died of disease, said Mr. Ruppel.

Byrd, May May Byrd – 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. Many others were reported dead. Scores of persons were caught as the rushing torrents in the lead of the flood swept around Fourth Street and down Main. Most of them escaped by climbing out the second stories of the buildings… The following information was obtained by the Chieftain representative as authentic at 3 p.m. Monday, afternoon of bodies in the morgues of the city: At McCarthy-Browns morgue, eighth street between Main and Court: May Byrd, 25, colored, 2527 Tremont Street, Denver. Colorado Springs Gazette – June 8, 1921 – Forty-Two Bodies in Pueblo Morgues – Five Additional Today; Several Died of Natural Causes, Says J. W. Pressy, in Charge of Identification – Pueblo, June 7 – Forty-two bodies of flood victims were in the morgues of the city tonight. Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified… The official list of dead follows: … May Byrd, Denver, colored... None of the 31 (?) recovered bodies between Pueblo and Boone reported last night by the rangers are included in this list. Likewise it does not contain the names of persons merely believed to have perished. Only bodies actually in the three morgues that are in operation are included. 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.

W. Pressy, in Charge of Identification – Pueblo, June 7 – Forty-two bodies of flood victims were in the morgues of the city tonight. Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified… The official list of dead follows: … Sarah Byrd, Denver, colored... 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.
