Cadwell, Charles Giddeon Charles Chick Giddeon Cadwell - Pueblo Chieftain - May 5, 2012 - Charles Chick Giddeon Cadwell, 86, passed away unexpectedly, April 29, 2012, while recuperating from hip surgery. His beloved wife, Shirley (Louie) Cadwell, preceded him in death on Oct. 27, 2010. During her long illness, Chick would drive 100 miles a day to be with her. They shared a happy and wonderful life together for over 60 years.

Chick was born to Moses and Anna (Shimenek) Cadwell Oct. 10, 1925, at their home in Orchard Park, Colo. Chick attended Boone School until 1941. After the death of his father in 1941, he left school to help contribute to the support of his family. Chick was drafted into the United States Army in November of 1943 and was assigned to 167th Infantry Regiment of the 31st Infantry Division. His first combat action was in New Guinea in 1944 and continued with his arrival on the Island of Morotai. An article in the Rocky Mountain News sent by Army correspondents indicated that on Christmas Day 1944, Private Charles Cadwell, along with others in his group, began an 11-day patrol in search of enemy snipers. The uncharted terrain of Morotai was so dense with jungle and ragged peaks that in one day the men moved only about 350 yards from sunup to sundown. Several men were marching with towels around their feet instead of shoes, which were ruined shortly after the march began. When the company began the return trip on New Year's Day, it was necessary for them to radio for artillery fire so they could determine their location. It was the worst march we've ever been through, declared Private Cadwell. Chick's combat duty finally ended in the Philippines in the last battles of WWII. He was awarded numerous medals, including the Liberation of the Philippines Medal. On May 29, 1991, PRIVATE FIRST CLASS CHARLES G. CADWELL, UNITED STATES ARMY, was awarded THE BRONZE STAR medal for meritorious achievement in ground combat against the armed enemy during World War II in the Asiatic Pacific Theater of Operations. After WWII, Chick returned to Boone and worked for Mr. Charles Bell for many years. Around 1960, Chick went to work with his brother, Frank, who owned Cadwell's Trucking.

Calavis, Steve Steve Calavis 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 coroner, 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. Pueblo Chieftain October 16, 1918 Funeral services were held in the Davis-Vories Chapel yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock over the bodies of Alex Utasi, Steve Kavais, and Paul Bero, the three Walsenburg men who were killed in an automobile accident on the Rye Rd., Sunday.

Callahan, Katie Katie Callahan - Denver Post - December 5, 2003 - Katie Callahan, a Denver woman so devoted to fishing and swimming that her final wish was to have her ashes scattered at her favorite fishing hole, died from a heart attack Oct. 17. Margaret Katherine Callahan was 89 when she died, "but the coroner said she would have been in great shape for a 70-year-old," said her daughter, Pat Campbell. "She swam for an hour every day," Campbell said. "We used to tease her about being part fish, because she was happier in the water than anywhere else." Callahan learned how to swim in the chilly salt water of Puget Sound, Wash., where the brothers of a family friend also taught her to fish. Her first fishing rod was a piece of driftwood with a string knotted around the middle and a baited hook at the other end of the string. Callahan caught flounder and other fish from the dock at Indianola, a beach town northwest of Seattle. As a young girl, she studied piano. Instructors thought she was exceptionally promising, and that perhaps she had inherited the skills of her mother, a concert pianist. Then Callahan's father died, leaving her mother with five children and meager resources. Callahan was 13 at the time, the second-oldest child. Her mother tried to continue the piano lessons in exchange for cleaning the piano teacher's home, but gave up. "It was too messy," said Anne Pierce, Callahan's eldest daughter. "The teacher's husband was a dentist, and he kept a clothes brush chained to the front door, to use before he went out. Otherwise, he'd never have found it." Callahan and her piano teacher gave a last concert together, playing Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto. After that, Callahan plunged into her studies, cramming four years of high school into two years and graduating at age 16. The hands that might have played pianos in concert halls instead tallied wages for the Port of Seattle, where Callahan was hired as its first female paymaster. Following a brief first marriage, she met and married Gary Callahan, and moved to Colorado to live with his parents while he was in the Navy. When Callahan and her oldest daughter stepped from the train at the Pueblo depot, she was appalled. A dry breeze sent a tumbleweed toppling over her shoe. "She used to say that her heart just sank that moment," Pierce said. For years, Callahan dreamed of returning to the Northwest. She struggled to find something lovable in her arid new home. Finally, she and her husband began weekly picnics and camping trips to Salida and Salt Creek, where he fished and she hiked with daughter Pat while Anne babysat young Jerry. When Gary Callahan got a job in Washington state one summer, Katie Callahan discovered that she preferred Colorado, with its dry but clear days, to the Northwest's truculent gray skies and almost ceaseless rain. They returned to Colorado, and bought a home near Denver. Before she died, Callahan gave her children explicit instructions. Her last outfit would include sandals - "her little old lady sandals, because although she loved pretty shoes, she couldn't wear them because of her hammertoes," Pat Campbell said - a pair of shorts, a bright yellow knit shirt she liked to wear when she went fishing, a big straw hat, earrings and a waterproof Seiko watch that she never removed. Her kids found Callahan's lifetime fishing license and tucked it into her hatband. They added her favorite fishing lure before closing the simple pine box in which she was cremated. The stainless steel hook emerged unscathed on a bed of ashes. "Well, she can't go fishing without a hook," Campbell's son said pragmatically. So when Callahan's family scattered her ashes and some yellow flowers over her favorite fishing hole last weekend, they tossed in the hook, as well. Survivors include husband Gary Callahan of Wheat Ridge; daughters Anne Pierce of Lakewood and Pat Campbell of Franktown; son Jerry Callahan of Wheat Ridge; brother Emery Duquet of Seattle; and eight grandchildren.

Campbell, Arthur Arthur Campbell - Pueblo Chieftain August 26, 1919 Arthur Campbell Story Is Denied Pueblo Colo., August 25, 1919 The editor Pueblo Chieftain: Sir: I was very much shocked, as I am sure all of the friends of the late Arthur Campbell were, to read the highly sensational article about him which appeared in the Sunday Star-Journal. Having known Arthur Campbell 4 years, and having somewhat to do with his affairs since his death, I wish to register a vigorous denial of the false statements contained in the article about my dead friend. Arthur Campbell came to this country for his health. After trying to live in several other states, he finally found that the dry bracing climate of Pueblo, Colo., afforded him relief from acute asthma of which he was a sufferer, and he located here. He returned to London, England, for his family, brought them to Pueblo, and made this city his home until his death. Honored and respected by all who knew him. His first wife died several years ago. He married a lady who was his second wife, and who had been a member of the family since childhood. They lived together 8 years. She survived him about a year. It is true he changed his name, but not from motives ascribed in the Star-Journal article. John Robertson Pueblo Chieftain October 22, 1919 Peculiar Estate of Arthur Campbell Is Finally Closed up The concluding chapter in a Pueblo County estate was written in the probate court yesterday when the administrator and executor of the estates of Arthur Campbell and his wife, Elizabeth H. Campbell, filed final reports for the court's approval. The report shows that the Arthur Campbell estate has a net total value of $27,554.09, but this was reduced by half after settlement of claims and adjustment. His 3 living children and 2 grandchildren will share this estate. When he died, one half of his estate was left to his late wife, who at her death left all of her share to the 2 daughters of her husband. According to final decrees the property, consisted of shares of the capitol stock of the Campbell Land and Investment Co., will be thus $3,444.26 divided. Arthur T. Beldan will receive $3,444.26 and to the 2 grandchildren will go a like sum. Mrs. A. C. Hansen and Mrs. Florence M. Goodwin, the 2 daughters, are to get a total of $10,604.54 each. Many obstacles were met by John Robertson, the administrator and executor, in administering the affairs of these 2 estates. Owing to the fact that Arthur Campbell was known as Richard Beldan before he became a resident of Pueblo County, caused much trouble in tracing his descendents. Search revealed that he had a son, Arthur Beldan, residing at Toronto, Ontario, and one daughter residing in New Jersey. This son and daughter came to America some 18 months in advance of their father and mother and continued the name of Beldan. When the father came to Pueblo he had his name changed to that of Campbell; hence the mix up. It is said that the 2 estates paid inheritance taxes to the state to the amount of $785.

Pueblo Chieftain September 22, 1919 Resolutions on the Death of Dr. William Henry Campbell Whereas, it has pleased the Ruler of the Universe to remove from our midst by death, the late Dr. William Henry Campbell, whereby the profession loses a conscientious member, and the county and state a useful citizen and official. Also his family, a kind parent and father, who was popular with the people of Pueblo County where he has practiced his profession for upwards of 20 years. Be it remembered, that last fall Dr. Campbell was elected to the responsible office of coroner of Pueblo County, one of 3 officers only who was elected at that time from his political party. He was conducting the office of coroner with satisfaction to all, at the time of his death, besides caring for a large private practice. We recall with pride at this time that Dr. Campbell left no enemies. His disposition was cheerful, and he looked on the bright side of life. To the profession he was the soul of honor, and his friends among the people were legion. Dr. Campbell has been called to that "Bourne from whence no traveler returns." His seat is vacant, neither the poor nor those more fortunate will again receive his kindly administrations. But few men in the medical profession have gone to their last resting place with such a record. Therefore Be It Resolved, That the Medical Society of Pueblo County in meeting assembled, deplore the loss of this kindly associate and brother physician. And Be It Further Resolved, That we express our sincere sympathy to his family in their great sorrow and loss of a husband and father. And Be It Further Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on the records of this society and copy sent to the bereaved family, and to the daily press of the city. Committee: Hubert Work, Fritz Lassen, L. McLean, Chairman. Pueblo Chieftain September 28, 1919 Card of Thanks We wish to thank our many friends, especially the members of the Elks Lodge No. 90, the Woodmen of the World, camp No. 2 and all others who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our husband and father, Dr. W. H. Campbell. Signed, Mrs. W. H. Campbell, Edna Campbell, Anna Campbell, Edna Oliphant.

Cane - Rocky Mountain News - October 2, 1880 - Pueblo, October 1 - Suicide Near Pueblo - Frank A. Cane, well known in this city and Denver, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a penknife last night at Trimble's ranch, twelve miles below this city on the river. He was trying to sober up from a long continued debauch and was doubtless crazy at the time. The suicide was the head of the late firm of Cane, Forbes & Co., mining brokers, at 369 Holladay street, and left Denver some months ago for the south. His career has been that of a man made unfortunate in everything he undertook by the too free use of alcoholic beverages. He first came into notoriety through his marriage, about two years ago, which was followed by arrest on false charges while he was on the staff of a southern Colorado newspaper. Only a short time ago he was charged with absconding with money belonging to other parties. Cane was a thoroughly good fellow at heart, but his weakness for whisky triumphed over the good qualities inherent in his original nature. Free and open-handed in the use of money, he seldom had any when he needed it most, and this gave him a reputation which he did not merit. He was not more than thirty or thirty-five years of age, and in the very prime of a vigorous manhood. Central City Daily Register-Call - October 2, 1880 - Frank Cane Suicides - Pueblo, October 1 - For the past two weeks Frank A. Cane, well known in this city (and) throughout Colorado, having been at various times engaged in business in different sections of the state, has been drinking very hard, brought about troubles of various kinds and unhappy business complications needless to mention. On last Tuesday morning he sent his wife to her old home in Leavenworth, Kansas, intending to remain himself and try to build up his shattered fortunes, when he would join her or send for her to come to him. After his wife left him the unhappy man drank harder than ever. The only thought of his seemed to be to drown his cares. He blamed no one but himself for his troubles, and treated all whom he met in his usual pleasant way. On Thursday morning he was missed from the city. This morning news was brought to the city by a ranchman living down the river that Cane had cut his throat with a penknife the night previous at Tremble's ranch, twelve miles below town, and was in a dying condition. The man said he arrived last night and asked for a place to sleep. He was given some blankets and a place to sleep in the barn. The bed was the best the man had to offer. Cane was asked if he wanted any supper and he replied that he did not, all he wanted was a place to sleep. This morning one of the men went to the barn to wake him for breakfast, and found him in a dying condition with his throat cut, the windpipe having been severed. In one hand he held the photograph of his wife, while in the other he tightly grasped the weapon of his destruction, a small penknife. He was breathing through the gash in his throat, and was able to speak. He appeared to have been rational the night before, but looked as though he was just sobering up from a long continued debauch. Medical assistance was at once sent to him, and the wound was dressed, but nothing could save him, and at 1 o'clock he died. One being asked by a friend if he had cut his own throat he replied in the affirmative and added, It was awful hard to cut, John, awful hard to cut; I tried it three times before I made a success of it. The coroner will hold an inquest upon the remains to-day, after which the body will be brought to this city for interment. Canfield, Rick A. Rick A.

Capers, wife of F. L. Capers, when impressive funeral services were held at the home Twentieth and Greenwood Streets. The sincere friends of the highly esteemed woman, whose death, occurring during the past week, was a decided shock. Many stood outside the home, which was crowded to capacity, while the services were being conducted. The Rev. Hugh T. Gary, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Thomas Casady, rector of the Church of the Ascension, conducted the funeral services. A touching tribute was paid to the memory of the late prominent matron whose life in Pueblo was characterized by so many acts of kindness and consideration for others that she had surrounded herself by a host of friends.

Capers, Francis LeGrand, Sr. Francis LeGrand Capers, Sr. Pueblo Chieftain April 27, 1919 F. L. Capers, Pres. of Standard Fire Brick Co. Dies Francis LeGrand Capers, Sr., President and General Manager of the Standard Fire Brick Co., died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at his home, 2003 Greenwood St. The cause of his death was heart trouble. He was seriously ill for a week before he died but had not been in good health for several months past. In the death of Mr. Capers, Pueblo loses one of her industrial leaders and builders, one of its homebuilders, one of its supporters of every movement toward civic betterment and industrial advancement. The history of the development of the Standard Fire Brick Co. illustrates his business ability and keen judgment. Mr. Capers came to Pueblo in 1888 and became connected with the Pueblo Candy Co., where he was associated in business with Jesse Rood for about 2 years. In 1890 he took over the management of a small bankrupt plant, known as the Pueblo Fire Brick Co. This he nursed and developed into what is now the largest fire brick plant west of the Mississippi River The Standard Fire Brick Co. of Pueblo. This company ships its products to every point of the world were vitrified brick, hollow tiling, sewer piping, and smelting goods are used. And the growth to its present magnitude and usefulness as one the great industrial plants of the nation is due to the keen business acumen and management of Francis LeGrand Capers. This industrial plant he leaves as a monument to his life's work, and it is one of which any man might well be proud. Francis LeGrand Capers, was born in Roslyn, Long Island, May 21, 1853. Was married to Miss Emma M. Cole of Chicago, June 20, 1880. On account of poor health, in 1886 he sought the Colo. climate and altitude; purchasing a ranch near Alamosa, where he spent 2 years in the open air before coming to Pueblo. Only one child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Capers Francis LeGrand Capers, Jr., who resides with his wife and 2 sons, Francis LeGrand, 3rd, and John Davis Capers, at 2007 Greenwood St. Mrs. Capers, Sr., died January 17, 1917. Mr. Capers, Sr., is survived by 3 sisters, Mrs. A. V. Young and Mrs. J. L. Thorne of St. Johns, New Brunswick, Canada; and Mrs. H. M. Newton of Brooklyn, N.Y. Also a cousin, Bishop William T. Capers of San Antonio, Texas, who is bishop for the western district of that state. Maj. Gen. Eben Swift of Leavenworth, Kan., a retired West Point regular army officer, is also a cousin of Mr. Capers. Arrangements for the funeral were not completed last night, but will be announced later.

Rev. Thomas Casady, pastor of the Church of the Ascension, will conduct the services, and the interment will be in the family plot at Roselawn, beside the body of the wife of the deceased, who died on 17 January, 1917. The funeral will be under the direction of the McCarthy Undertaking Co., and will no doubt be largely attended, as Mr. Capers was a man much loved and respected by his friends and business associates and by the hundreds of men who are employed in the plant of the Standard Fire Brick Co., a plant that Mr. Capers founded, built up, and made possible by his close and faithful attention, keen business foresight, and excellent judgment. Pueblo Chieftain April 29, 1919 Funeral of F. L. Capers Was Held Yesterday The funeral services of Francis LeGrand Capers, Pres. of the Standard Fire Brick Co., who died on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, were held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family home, 2003 Greenwood Street, and were largely attended by friends of the bereaved family and employees of the Standard Fire Brick plant who gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to the distinguished citizen, beloved friend, and generous employer who had finished his earthly work and gone to that home where eternal peace awaits those who have faithfully performed their duty to their fellow men. The beautiful and impressive services of the Episcopal Church were conducted by Rev. Thomas Casady, pastor of the Church of the Ascension, who read the Episcopal service. A quartet composed of Mrs. J. C. Brooking, Mrs. H. M. Thompson, and Mr. and Mrs. Harper Gardner, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Frank G. Mirick, sang "Lead Kindly Light," and "Abide with Me," two favorite hymns of the deceased. At the conclusion of the reading of the service by Rev. Mr. Casady, Thomas H. Divine, a lifelong friend of the deceased, delivered a short but touching eulogy in which he gave briefly and faithfully a short account of the life in Pueblo of the friend whom he and all present loved and honored because of his upright and ideal life in this community which he had contributed the best years of his life toward building, and stated truly that Mr. Capers' death was a great loss to Pueblo, to his friends, and neighbors, his employees, and all who knew the big-hearted, kindly, genial, lovable man who had left us. It had threatened rain all day, but that had not deterred the people from coming to pay their tribute of respect, and it was a long funeral cortθge which followed the remains to their final resting place in the Capers mound at Roselawn beside the body of the wife of the deceased, who died 17 January, 1917. At the cemetery a canopy had been erected over the grave as a precaution against rain, and the grave, was lined with beautiful flowers and twining greens. Here the Rev. Mr. Casady concluded the service begun at the house, and just at 3:30 the body was lowered to its final earthly home. At the home there was a wealth of flowers, the parlors which the body rested being literally banked with floral gifts from friends and employees, and at the grave the beautiful mound was practically covered by the floral offerings of friends. The flower bearers were Judges Samuel D. Trimble and J. C. Brooking. The pallbearers were: Dr. Hubert Work, S. G. Pierson of Denver, Thomas H. Divine, A. S. Booth, Frank E. Parks, Judge Frank G. Mirick, Miles G. Saunders, and M. C. Johnson. Pueblo Chieftain April 30, 1919 An Impressive Fact The funeral of Francis LeGrand Capers, which was held on Monday afternoon under the direction of the McCarthy Undertaking Company, was one of the most impressive obsequies held in Pueblo in a long time. There was a large attendance of friends and neighbors and business associates of the deceased, but what impressed one most was the fact that every man in the employ of the Standard Fire Brick Co. who could possibly get to the funeral was there to bid farewell to the employer and friend whom they loved, the guiding spirit who had made it possible for this great manufacturing plant to grow and thrive, the man who had put new hope into the lives of many of these men by giving them employment, the man who always spoke to them kindly and courteously and sympathized with them in their troubles when he knew them, it was this outpouring of brawny armed and warm-hearted laboring men at the funeral of Francis LeGrand Capers that made the event a more than ordinary impressive one, and evidence of the fact that the men who worked for Mr. Capers honored, respected, and loved him, and surely greater appreciation no man could ask.

Cardoza, Marion Ella Marion Ella Cardoza - Pueblo Chieftain - December 4, 2013 - Marion Ella Cardoza went peacefully on her journey Nov. 29, 2013, in Pueblo, Colo. She was born Aug. 15, 1916, in Rotterdam, N.Y. She was raised in a rich mixture of Thomson family farms and a few towns in upstate New York, with memories that lasted a lifetime. She, her parents, brother and sister moved to Southern California in 1935 for a fresh start, and a whole new set of experiences. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Emily (Thomson) Kemner; sister, Gladys (Kemner) Van Vliet; brother, Don Kemner; nephews, Phil Van Vliet and Paul Kemner; stepdaughter-in-law, Judy Cardoza; husbands, Glen Douglas and Antone Cardoza; all of her first cousins and most of her old friends. Marion is survived by her sons, Larry Douglas of Portola, Calif., and Steve Douglas (partner Pam Kubly) of Beulah, Colo.; stepson, Steve Cardoza of Modesto, Calif.; adopted daughter/friend, Judy Pepper of Chico, Calif.; nephew, Gary Lewis (wife Jeannette and their blended family) of California City, Calif.; nieces, Sylvia (Kemner) Reed of Blanding, Utah, and Donna (Kemner) Massey and her family (husband Winston, children Bart, Stefanie and Chris and their children) of Flagstaff and Phoenix, Ariz.; grandchildren, Jason Douglas of Eureka, Calif., Amy (Douglas) Dipman (husband Scott and their children Alex, Nathan and Gloria) of Santa Rosa, Calif., and Elizabeth (Douglas) Delima (husband Anthony) of Cotati, Calif.; step-grandchildren, Tony Cardoza of Modesto, Calif., and Nichole (Cardoza) Kasprzyk (husband Markus and their children Cameron and Parker Ryan) of Turlock, Calif.; and old friends, Bob and Ermalee, Sue and Cookie, Henry, Betty, Vivian, Gloria, Bill, Pat and others we've surely missed. Caregiver and friend Anita Smith of Pueblo, Colo., made her life easier, as Marion strove to live out her time in her own home. That wasn't possible the last couple of months. Marion's family is grateful for the fine care given her then by staff of the Life Care Center of Pueblo and the Sangre de Cristo Hospice and Palliative Care of Pueblo. Marion loved life and nature. She loved to swim and dance. She loved raising her boys and her work-life in business, where she started as a clerk and retired as an assistant vice president and personnel officer for the Sonoma Mortgage Corporation Branch of the Wells Fargo Bank. Her love of nature, children and teddy bears was reflected in her china painting. She loved interacting with others. She stayed informed of current events and voted faithfully for candidates and issues she believed in. She looked forward to things ranging from changes in the seasons to other people's birthdays (when she would call them and sing Happy Birthday in a voice that was long on feeling and short on pitch). Her faith and spirit remained strong, even as her body grew frail. For decades Marion refused to tell anyone her age, stating that age is a number and mine is unlisted. This was not because of vanity, but rather because she objected to the way people were often pigeon-holed based on their age instead of being valued for their capabilities. She was not perfect, but she was what she was pretty special in most ways. Marion was part of a family that moved a lot for a variety of reasons. That put many miles between her and most of her family and old friends. She stayed in touch via cards and telephone calls, and greatly appreciated visits, calls and cards from those who stayed close, in spite of miles and time apart still keeping a special place in her thoughts and heart for the rest. To all she would say enjoy your life find meaning in how you live that life for yourselves and for others. At her request, there will be no service. Cardozo, Edna Mary (Sister) Sister Edna Mary Cardozo - Colorado Springs Gazette - January 29, 1996 - Beaten Nuns Served in Pueblo - Man With Record Charged in Slayings - Waterville, Maine - Two nuns who were beaten and stabbed - one fatally - after a prayer service in their convent had served at a convent in Pueblo during the 1970s. Mother Superior Edna Mary Cardozo, 68, who died of head injuries Saturday night at Kennebec Valley Medical Center in Augusta, Maine, served from 1976 to 1979 at the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament convent in Pueblo, according to Sister Elizabeth Madden of the Pueblo convent. Another nun, Sister Patricia Ann Keene, 68, who was in stable condition Sunday night at a Maine hospital, had also lived at the convent in Pueblo during the early '70s, Madden said Sunday. They were among four Roman Catholic nuns who were stabbed and beaten after they finished an evening prayer service Saturday when an intruder smashed the glass on a locked door, opened it, and walked inside about 6 p.m. One of the women was attacked in the chapel and the other three in an adjacent part of the convent. Sister Mary Julien Fortin, 67, died early Sunday of multiple stab wounds to the face and head, said Kennebec Valley Medical Center spokeswoman Mary Plumer. Sister Mary Anna D'Giacomo, 72, was in critical condition with head injuries. Mark Bechard, 37, of Waterville, who had a history of mental problems, surrendered without resistance when police arrived. The nuns had hired Bechard to do odd jobs around the chapel. He was supposed to start the job today. "In their compassion, they were going to give him some work," Madden said. "It's been a complete shock. It's devastating. We all know each other very closely. "They were energetic and working like people in their 40s," Madden said of the four victims. "This may be one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in Maine," said spokesman Stephen McCausland of the state Public Safety Department. He said police did not know of a motive for the attacks. The officers "took Mr. Bechard off one nun he was beating," said police Chief John Morris. Bechard was using a religious statue to beat the woman, police said. Police told Bechard to drop the statue and put his hands up, "and he did exactly what they told him to do," McCausland said. Bechard, who had worshiped in the nuns' chapel previously, was also known to police. "We have dealt with Mr. Bechard in criminal matters and mental-health matters," said Morris, adding that the suspect had been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital in 1994. He would not elaborate. Bechard was charged with one count of murder, and other charges are expected to be filed by the time he is arraigned early this week, said the spokesman. He was being held without bail. Servants of the Blessed Sacrament is an international order. It now has 15 nuns in the United States, who live in Pueblo, Waterville, and Albuquerque, N.M. The Maine convent's five other nuns were in seclusion Sunday. A handwritten sign taped to the inside of the locked chapel door said: "Chapel closed except for Mass. Pray for us." Cardwell, Dennis A.

A two-story cottage was swept down Main street shortly after the start of the flood into the business and lodged against a building at Third and Main.

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

The health authorities said yesterday that the spread of the disease in this district is rapidly becoming a menace, as these people do not seem to fully realize the seriousness of the situation. According to the actual record of cases of Spanish influenza reported to date in the city to the health office, 114 cases have been recorded. Out of this number, nine have been released, while seven deaths have occurred, leaving 101 cases under treatment at the present time. The total number of cases reported from the county to date is 20 of which three have died and 17 still remain. It has been suggested that the city, at least twice a day thoroly wash the main streets of Pueblo. This action, it is stated, will greatly diminish the disease germs that undoubtedly exist in the gutters of the main and crowded streets of the city.

Carson, Kit Edward Kit Edward Carson - Pueblo Chieftain - April 14, 1992 - Descendant of pioneer Kit Carson dead at 77 - The mystique of the early West - and its colorful characters - persists a century later in legend and theater. And, not so often, in the obituaries of their descendants. Kit Edward Carson, 77, grandson and namesake of the pioneer scout, will be buried today at Higbee Cemetery. He died Friday at the Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center in La Junta. His only son, Glenn Carson of Houston, doesn't remember many stories about his great-grandfather. "It's a strange thing about the Carsons," he said. "Kit Carson was born in 1809 and he was over 50 when my grandfather was born. My grandfather was in his 50s when my father was born." That's only three generations over 108 years, he noted. The famous Indian scout Kit Carson had eight children with his third wife, Maria Josefa Jaramillo, sister-in-law of Charles Bent, governor of New Mexico. The ranks of Kit Carson namesakes are thinning out with the generations. "My father has a cousin here in La Junta named Kit Carson. He's 81 and a bachelor," Carson said. And Glenn Carson has a 20-year-old son, Christopher, an English major at the University of San Diego. But, said his father, they call him Chris. A nephew of Kit Edward Carson, John Carson, has become the family historian. A teacher at La Junta High School, he gives talks about his famous forebear and often lectures at the Kit Carson Museum in Taos, N.M., where the scout is buried. Kit Edward Carson was born March 30, 1915 at Higbee, where his parents, Charles and Mary Carson, lived. He graduated from La Junta High School in 1933. During World War II, he served in the Marine Wing Service Squadron 9 as a crew chief for B-25 bombers. He met and married Alice Mendyke of Chicago while he was in the service, on July 17, 1943. He was sent to the South Pacific. Five months later, the young bride enlisted in the WAVES and was sent to Beeville, Texas. After the war, the couple lived briefly in Kenosha, Wis., before settling down in La Junta in 1952. He spent his career with the U.S. Post Office there, retiring in 1977. Other survivors include three daughters, Christine Wynne of La Junta, and Kathleen Carson and Rebecca Ray, both of Scottsdale, Ariz.; a brother, Jesse, of La Junta; two sisters, Stella Harrington of Kim and Anna Lange of Kenosha; and nine grandchildren. Carson was a member of the La Junta Catholic Parish, La Junta Golf Club and BPOE No. 701. Fureral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. today at La Junta Catholic Church. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Arkansas Valley Hospice Association or to the charity of one's choice.

Pueblo Chieftain February 14, 1917 Identity of Murderers Is Deep Mystery Police Unable to Locate Men Who Killed Young Ned Carter The murderers of I. C. (Ned) Carter, whose dead body was found early yesterday morning on E. Abriendo Ave. by Patrolman Henry Roth, are still at large although the police are searching the city for 2 Mexicans believed to have fired the shots. The man was found when the patrolman followed the sound of 2 shots. Two men, some distance ahead of the officer, turned and fired several shots at him as he pursued them. An overcoat and the revolver with which the shots were fired were discarded by the fleeing men and these may lead to discovering the identity of the slayer. J. V. Gaddie, who was with Carter when the shooting occurred, is under arrest but can throw no light on the trouble other than that it was done by Mexicans. One hit him while the other struck at Carter. A moment later he heard 2 shots and saw his companion fall. He fled, he stated to the police and was later arrested by Acting Night Capt. Elliott.

Although the police have been working on the case for the past 2 days, no evidence has been found which will throw any light as to the identity of the person who fired the shot that killed Carter. His body was found by Patrolman Henry Roth as he and Patrolman Marvin Porter followed the sound of several shots which had been fired a moment before.

C. "Ned" Carter, whose body was found on E. Abriendo Ave. early Tuesday morning, was yesterday released when a coroner's jury empanelled by Coroner Ray Taylor, returned a verdict declaring that the man came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by parties unknown. While there were discrepancies in the testimony, there was no tangible evidence upon which Aguilar could be held. An overcoat found in an alley way through which the murderer ran in escaping was identified by Aguilar and claimed to be his own, although he claimed it had been stolen from him in the Pike's Peak Theater earlier in the evening. At the time of the shooting he was in Lenehan's Cafι on Northern Avenue, he said, and others testified that he was in the cafι shortly after the shooting but could give no definite time as to when he entered the place.

E. Corson on a charge of accessory after the fact. He was arrested through an effort to locate the murderer of Ned Carter who was killed on the morning of February 13 in Bessemer following a fight in which Gaddie is said to have participated. It is not charged that Gaddie murdered Carter but that he probably knows some of the circumstances surrounding the murder which he refuses to divulge and thereby become an accessory after the fact. Judge Corson placed his bond at $500 which he had not been able to secure at a late hour last evening. Gaddie claims that he was struck in the face during the fight which preceded the shooting of Carter and that he knows nothing of the affair after that time.

E. Corson. Gaddie is not charged with having any direct connection with the shooting of Carter but it is alleged that he is withholding information which might lead up to the arrest of the party or parties who fired the fatal shots. Gaddie yesterday repeated his story of his connection with the shooting, claiming as he did at the inquest, that he knew nothing of the incident following the assault made on him. He claims to have been rendered semi conscious for a short period of time during which he says that the shot was fired, killing Carter. He was allowed to go on his own recognizance.

Pueblo Chieftain - January 1, 2014 - Murder charges sought for 2 inmates in prison beating - Two Colorado Department of Corrections inmates are facing potential murder charges after the victim of a brutal beating at the Buena Vista Correctional Facility died last month. Thom LeDoux, 11th Judicial District Attorney, said Tuesday that his office is waiting for the final pathologist report on Gene Casados Jr., 22, before filing additional charges against Philip Saldana, 37, and Thomas Mercado 23. Saldana and Mercado were originally facing charges of attempted second-degree murder and first- and second-degree assault for the March 31 attack that left Casados hospitalized for months. Le Doux said his office is hopeful it can file new charges by the defendants' next court dates, but it depends on how long it takes to get the pathologist's report. Investigators with the DOC said witnesses watched Saldana and Mercado kick Casados in the head and body while he was prone on the floor of the south living unit of the prison. Investigators said that after the men were pulled off of Casados, Saldana was able to get free from corrections officers and return to Casados' body, where he kicked the victim again before he was subdued. Physicians at St. Anthony's Hospital in Denver said Casados suffered a traumatic brain injury during the attack. DOC investigators believe the attack stemmed from rival gang affiliations and a 2009 incident in which Saldana shot Casados, then 16, in the leg for wearing rival gang attire. Saldana is serving 16 years in prison for that incident. Mercado is being held on $1 million bail in the Chaffee County jail.

Cassie Pueblo Chieftain January 24, 1919 Former Pueblo Woman Dies from Exposure in Storm From Rocky Ford comes the information that Mrs. G. H. Roundtree formerly of this city, and her mother, Mrs. I. M. Cassie, have died at a hospital in that city from effects of exposure they suffered in a recent snowstorm while attempting to reach Rocky Ford from a homestead they were holding down north of Ordway, in Crowley County. It seems that the two women decided to move to Rocky Ford for the remainder of the winter, and so last Wednesday they started for that city with a team and light wagon driven by a boy named Eichelburg of Rocky Ford. When about 18 miles on the way from Ordway they were caught in a driving blizzard; the snow drifted so badly that it was impossible for the team to pull the wagon along the road. The driver unhitched the horses and started on one of them for Rocky Ford for help, the women making themselves as comfortable as possible in the wagon. Some hours later a man and woman named Floury came along the road and found the two women almost frozen, took them back 3 miles to a vacant though furnished cabin. They left them there as Mrs. Roundtree said she would build a fire in a stove, but on attempting to do so she failed because of her benumbed condition. She crawled into a bed with her mother, and the next day the cattlemen discover them almost dead with the cold. He built a fire and made some hot coffee for the two women. He then rode to a neighbor and persuaded them to take Mrs. Roundtree and Mrs. Cassie to Rocky Ford in their automobile. Young Eichelburg had reached his destination but had been unable to induce anyone to go to the relief of the women. Mrs. Cassie died at Dr. Pollock's hospital on the evening of their arrival, Thursday, and Mrs. Roundtree died at 7 o'clock Friday evening. Both were buried at Rocky Ford.

Canton was pronounced dead at the scene by County Coroner Rob Bukovac a half hour later.

The truck ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a delineator post, continuing southbound. The driver overcorrected to the right and rolled the vehicle two and a half times. The truck came to rest on its top. Caton was ejected from the pickup, and landed about 158 feet away from the truck in the center of the southbound lanes of the interstate. Caton was then run over by a tractor trailer rig driven by Dale McQueen of Loveland, Colo., and dragged 71 feet. The semi was able to safely stop at the side of the roadway.

Ceruosia, Benjamin Benjamin Ceruosia Pueblo Chieftain December 22, 1918 Sues Dead Man's Brother for the Insurance Money Very unusual in its nature was a suit filed yesterday in the District Court by Elizabeth Ceruosia vs. Jacob W. Ceruosia and The Prudential Insurance Co. The action is for the payment of the face of an insurance policy of which the plaintiff was not, on the face of the policy, the beneficiary, but which she claims on the basis of sensational allegations set out in her complaint. It is alleged that on June 29, 1917, Benjamin Ceruosia secured from the aforesaid insurance Co. a policy for $1,000 to the beneficiary named; that on January 30, 1918, plaintiff was married to Benjamin Ceruosia, and thereafter was his wife until he died. That at the time of marriage the said Benjamin Ceruosia said that he would change the beneficiary to plaintiff from Jacob Ceruosia his brother. That on October 24, 1918, Benjamin Ceruosia became sick with a Spanish influenza; that Jacob Ceruosia and his wife took control of the sick man and ejected plaintiff from his room, and refused her to be in the room with her husband; that they refused to administer to her husband the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but gave him great quantities of whiskey, thus preventing him from making the change in the insurance policy, and that her husband died on October 31. Plaintiff therefore asked the court for an order restraining the defendant Jacob W. Ceruosia from collecting the amount of the policy from the said insurance company. Cervantes, John M. John M.

Jr. Anthony Cesario - Pueblo Chieftain - September 27, 2010 - Ex-NFL Lineman Cesario Dies at 34 - South Grad Spent Time with Jaguars, Dolphins - When football players get drafted into the NFL, they often times splurge on a new car or some expensive bling. Anthony Cesario wasn't like most football players. "When he got drafted, he went out and bought his hunting dog, Tucker, a beautiful black lab," said his mother, Sylvia. Cesario died of an apparent heart attack Saturday night. He was 34. "He got a lot out of football, but he really didn't enjoy it," Sylvia added. "He played as hard as he could, but he loved the mountains and the outdoors and always said that's where he was meant to be." Cesario prepped at South High School before signing with Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Under the tutelage of head coach Sonny Lubick, Cesario blossomed into a first-team All-American along the offensive line. He was taken in the third round of the 1999 NFL draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He eventually landed with the Miami Dolphins before injuries and a higher calling, the Rocky Mountains, sent him to the sidelines for good. As CSU's defensive line coach, Tom Ehlers watched Cesario mature from awkward to All-America for the Rams. "First of all, the neatest thing about him was he was a great kid," said Ehlers, who now is CSU's director of football operations. "Out of Pueblo, he was just physically so much better than everyone else that he got away with a lot of stuff. Once he got here, he proved right away that he wanted to be as good as he could be and he worked toward that goal. "He loved Pueblo and was fiercely loyal. And he loved Fort Collins and the CSU community. Why is coaching a special job? Wins are great, but meeting guys like Anthony and watching them grow and mature and give back, that's what makes it special." In 2007, Cesario was inducted into the CSU Hall of Fame. "He loved the honor but was real uncomfortable giving the speech," his mother said. Football was his profession, not his passion. Once officially out of the game, Cesario turned his love of the outdoors into a success outfitting business. He also owned a blossoming traffic control business in Fort Collins. "About 12 weeks ago or so, he said he just didn't feel right. He went to a cardiologist and had the works done," Sylvia said. "They put in a pacemaker about 3 or 4 weeks ago and he was doing great. He was released by the doctor full-throttle; in fact he saw his cardiologist just this past Friday." Cesario was guiding a hunting tour on a ranch in Walden (near Steamboat Springs) when he fell ill. "He didn't go on the final hunt with the guys on Saturday. He stayed back and watched a little football and made dinner," Sylvia said. "Then it happened so suddenly." Cesario was single. Arrangements are pending and the family expects to have memorial services in Pueblo and Fort Collins. "He was a big part of both communities," his mother said. Pueblo Chieftain - September 29, 2010 - Anthony A. "Tonio" Cesario Jr., 34, passed away Sept. 25, 2010, from a heart attack while doing what he loved most hunting in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. He is survived by his parents, Anthony Cesario Sr. and Sylvia Cesario; his sister, Lisa Cesario-Scott (Christian); and nephews and godsons, Dominic and Deion. He also is survived by his goddaughter, Dasia Carrillo; as well as numerous relatives and friends whom he dearly loved and who dearly loved him. Tonio was an alumnus of CSU in Fort Collins. He had the fortune to play football under Coach Lubick and his staff and was selected a first-team All-American his senior year and went on to be a third-round draft pick for the NFL in 1999. He was honored to be inducted into the CSU Hall of Fame in October 2007. He was the co-owner of two businesses, Work Zone, Inc. and Outwest Adventures, LLC.

Everyone always wondered why we all called him Frosty. When he was born he had white frosty hair and the doctor called him Frosty. Thus, the great nickname began. Growing up, Frosty was a natural athlete. He participated in some of the most competitive leagues in the city. His sports included everything from basketball, football, baseball to fast pitch softball. Frosty grew so fast he was much taller than most his age so he played with the big boys, many times playing on teams two to four years older. As he got older he became a father. He was a loving father. First came his son then daddy's little girls. Frosty was one of the kindest and most generous people. He was well known in the Bessemer area. He was known by many names: Daddy, Brother, Hito, Curtis, Frosty, Fra-ba, Fra, Uncle and just Chavez. When he was called Curtis he was usually in trouble. He loved the outdoors, hanging out with friends and family. He also loved to read the Bible. Frosty will be sadly missed. He departed this world much too early. He will join his grandmother, Remedios Chavez, in heaven. Vaya con dios. Rest in peace.

Chavez, Stephanie Stephanie Chavez - Pueblo Chieftain - November 29, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1994 - 1995 - Gang Violence Erupts Throughout Pueblo - 1994 - April 24: Stephanie Chavez, a 15-year-old East High School sophomore, is shot in the head while riding with friends near the West 18th Street viaduct. She is the first of five teens to die that year from gunshot wounds. Pueblo Chieftain - April 27, 1994 - Family: Stephanie an Unlikely Victim - Family members of 15-year-old Stephanie Chavez said Tuesday she often talked about becoming a police officer to stop the kind of random youth violence that ended her life. They are unnerved by the prospect that her death could spark more of the senseless bloodshed she had hoped to prevent. "I don't believe in getting even," said Floyd Chavez, an uncle. He said he prefers to rely on law enforcement authorities and the judicial system for punishing those responsible for killing his niece. Her mother, Corrine Mojica, agrees. "More violence? That's not going to solve anything," said Mrs. Mojica. "It needs to be stopped right now." Stephanie died Monday afternoon of a head wound she suffered early Sunday morning when she was struck by a bullet fired from a passing car on the West 18th Street viaduct. Described as a quiet, happy, and neat teen-ager, the East High School sophomore was characterized as an unlikely victim of a shooting. "Stephanie was one of the last persons we thought would have something like this happen to her," said her aunt, Eleanor Carrera. "She didn't deserve it." The tragedy was unlikely also because she seldom went out, say family members. "She was a homebody; she didn't like to go out," said her mother. "Why her? She never goes anywhere and then this has to happen." With family members, Stephanie had the reputation of being responsible, reliable and mature. She also had a knack for soothing massages and a flare for style and design, they said. Frequently, she would babysit for the younger children of the extended family while others went out. "She'd babysit for us and when we'd get back, the house would be spotless; the dishes all done," said her uncle, Floyd. "Then when you went to pay her, she didn't want to get paid. Thanks was enough." All of the family members who gathered at the East Side home of Stephanie's grandparents Tuesday emphatically denied that she or any of the others with her Saturday have any gang affiliations. None of the teen-agers at the house wore any of the traditional gang-related clothing, nor did they exhibit any of the other common signs of gang involvement, including tattoos. During the interview, Darla Chavez, 18, the driver of the car Stephanie was riding in Saturday night, arrived at the home with clothing she had selected for Stephanie to wear for her funeral. Tearfully, she talked about how the two of them had been almost inseparable. "She was everything to me - my cousin, my sister, my best friend, my life, my world. I did everything with her," said Darla. "I was teaching her how to drive." The gathering of family members seemed to take some comfort in the fact that about a year ago, Stephanie had attended a drama presented at the Praise Assembly Church. "I asked her to give her life to Jesus, and she did," said an aunt, Diane Otero. Stephanie later was baptized and frequently attended services at the church, said Mrs. Otero. As the family completed funeral arrangements, there was an overriding feeling of disbelief. "It's like a dream," said Darla. "It's never going to stop hurting." A rosary will be said for Stephanie at 7 p.m. Thursday at Romero Family Funeral Home, 631 W. Corona. A funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Praise Assembly Church, 2000 Troy, and interment will follow at Imperial Gardens Cemetery.

Choe, Vincent Vincent Choe - Colorado Springs Gazette - February 17, 2005 - 8 Die as Jet Crashes Near Pueblo - Circuit City Plane Was Trying to Land in Freezing Rain -Pueblo - Federal authorities today will start looking for the reasons a corporate jet crashed and burned Wednesday morning east of Pueblo Memorial Airport, killing all eight people on board. The victims were the pilot and co-pilot, four employees of Circuit City Stores Inc. of Richmond, Va., and two others. The identities of those killed hadn't been released by late Wednesday. The twin-engine Cessna Citation C560 left Richmond on Wednesday morning en route to Irvine, Calif. It went down at 9:13 a.m. and burst into flames about five miles east of the Pueblo airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said. The crash site was near a dairy farm, west of the Pueblo Chemical Depot, where the military stores chemical weapons. The plane was attempting an instrument landing in freezing drizzle after filing a flight plan citing Pueblo as its destination, FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said. However, Pueblo County Sheriff Dan Corsentino said Pueblo was to be the aircraft's second of two fuel stops. "Two witnesses said they heard loud popping," Corsentino said, adding that they didn't actually see the crash. It was traveling with a companion aircraft, Corsentino said, which was 10 to 12 minutes behind it and landed safely. He did not identify who the second plane's passengers were affiliated with but said some of them boarded commercial flights out of Denver later Wednesday to "return home." He did not give their destination. Sheriff's deputies and investigators initially searched the site for survivors. When they found none, they cordoned off the site and waited for National Transportation Safety Board investigators. Pueblo Memorial Airport Manager Jerry Brienza said the airport has never experienced "a crash of this magnitude." "As far as I know, (the pilot) didn't declare an emergency," Brienza said after talking to air traffic controllers. He described the weather at 900 feet as "broken sky," at 1,400 feet as "overcast" and said the wind was at 7 knots - about 8 mph. A small Mesa jet had just landed at the airport minutes before. "It's not uncommon for aircraft to land safely in this weather," Brienza said. Circuit City confirmed on its Web site that a plane registered to the company had crashed in Colorado and had eight people on board, four of whom were employees of the company. None was an officer, the posting noted, adding no comment would be made pending notification of relatives. "Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones during their time of need," Circuit City CEO W. Alan McCollough said in a statement to the Associated Press. Circuit City owns about a half dozen stores along the Front Range and 50 stores within 100 miles of Irvine. The investigation will be conducted by an eight-member NTSB team from Washington, D.C., headed by chairman and CEO Ellen Engleman Conners. The team was to arrive in Colorado late Wednesday. NTSB teams are sent to multiple-fatality or air-carrier crashes. The crash site, which covered a half-mile radius, was bordered by sheriff's and coroner's vehicles who kept vigil over the wreckage and did not remove the bodies until federal authorities arrived. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Bryant said late Wednesday a representative from a local funeral home was on the scene to remove the bodies. Note: There is a memorial stone honoring the plane crash victims in Chico Cemetery in Pueblo County, Colorado. None of the victims were buried there.

Clark 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 United Davis-Vories Southside: A.E. Clark. 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: A. E. Clark, Pueblo 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: A. E. Clark was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado. The cemetery records list his records under A. E. Clark. However, the historical brochure for Roselawn lists this man as Albert L. Clark, the Pullman conductor for the Missouri Pacific Railway, and his address is listed as 810 East B. Street.

Clark, Amanda Amanda Clark - Rocky Mountain News - December 28, 1880 - Rio Grande Racket - Weekly Visit of the News' Special Reporter - Pueblo - Miss Amanda Clark, an ex-teacher in one of the public schools, died Christmas morning in Bakersville, Kansas. Clark, Benjamin Dunreath Benjamin Clark - Pueblo Chieftain - April 7, 2010 - Authorities ID Skull as Missing Pueblo Man - Benjamin Clark Was Reported Missing in October 2009 - The skull found in eastern Pueblo County has been identified as a 35-year-old Pueblo man, who was reported missing six months ago, after his burned car was discovered in that same rural area. Dental records were used by the coroner's office and an odontologist to identify the skull, which was found by a rancher Friday, as being Benjamin Clark, said Sheriff Kirk Taylor and Police Chief Jim Billings at a joint media conference Tuesday. Clark's family reported him missing Oct. 9, the same day Deputy Anthony DeHerrera found Clark's charred Pontiac Grand Am in the prairie near 62nd Lane and Garnett Road, about 25 miles east of Pueblo. Clark's last known address was on East 11th Street. Deputy Police Chief John Ercul said the area where Clark's car was found had been searched in October but nothing was found. Police and sheriff's detectives had been treating Clark's disappearance as a missing person case. On Friday, a rancher attempting to catch a calf on his property discovered the skull, Taylor said. The rancher contacted an off-duty sheriff's deputy and the skull was turned over to Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer, who determined that it was a human skull. On Friday night, detectives from the sheriff's and police departments did a brief search of the area but suspended the effort at nightfall. Detectives from both agencies, as well as police officers and deputies on horseback mounted patrol units and ATVs, searched the nearly 10,000 acre ranch again Monday. The expanded search revealed several other human bones, along with some pieces of Clark's clothing, his driver's license and vehicle registration. Sheriff's and police detectives searched the area again Tuesday, looking for more remains and other evidence. Taylor said the bones appeared to have been scattered throughout the field by animals. The closest remains found thus far are approximately three-fourths of a mile from where the car was burned and the farthest remains were found approximately two miles from the car," he said. The cause of death has not been determined. Taylor said the incident is being treated as a suspicious death. He said there were no obvious signs of trauma to the recovered remains. "Obviously we still have a lot of work to do to," Taylor said. He said there is no indication the body was buried. However, investigators are still examining the area. Clark's mother, Janet Clark, said Tuesday the discovery has brought some closure to her family. "We had hoped for better news but under the circumstances in which his car was found, we knew there was a possibility that the outcome wasn't going to be good," she said. "I think the only thing that I want to say is that Benjamin was a wonderful person who was loved by everyone. He is going to be missed." Anyone with information about this incident are asked to call the police department at 553-2538, the sheriff's department at 583-6250 or Crime Stoppers at 542-7867.

Dutch Clark, formerly of Colorado Springs, will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Canon City. Mr. Clark died Saturday in a Canon City hospital. He was born Oct. 11, 1906, in Fowler County, and attended high school in Pueblo. He attended Colorado College where he was an outstanding athlete in football, basketball, and track. He was voted all American at quarterback during his junior year at CC. Mr. Clark played professional football beginning with the Portsmouth, Ohio, Spartans in 1931, and moved with the team to Detroit in 1934. In 1935, he led the Lions to an NFL title, leading the league in scoring for three years, and being voted all-pro quarterback for six consecutive years. During his off seasons, he coached basketball and baseball at CC. He retired to coach the Cleveland Rams for four seasons, beginning in 1939. Mr. Clark is survived by his wife, Ruth Clark, and four sons. Pueblo Chieftain - March 29, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1924 - 1925 - Pueblo Roared Right Along with Roaring Twenties - Puebloans also enjoyed sports. Two of the city's best-known athletes, boxer Joe "Awful" Coffee and football star Earl "Dutch" Clark, graduated from Central High School in the mid-1920s They Made a Difference - Earl Dutch Clark - In the fall of 1925, before becoming Pueblo's most-famous athlete, Earl "Dutch" Clark was focused simply on winning a state football championship his senior year at Central High. Disappointingly, the team lost in the semifinals. Clark, a four-sports star (including high school All-American in basketball), went on become an All-American quarterback at Colorado College and a Hall of Fame player and coach for the Detroit Lions. The late sportswriting great Grantland Rice once called Clark the equal of Jim Thorpe or "as close to Thorpe as one could hope to get. In 1976, Clark and his wife moved away from Michigan to a newly built home in Canon City. Two years later, on Aug. 5, 1978, Clark died of cancer at age 71. Dutch Clark Stadium in Pueblo is named in his honor. Clark, Earl J. Earl J. Clark Pueblo Chieftain July 23, 1918 That her son, Earl J. Clark, 144th Machine Gun Battalion, is now with the American Expeditionary Forces, has been assured Mrs. Charles L. Clark. Pueblo Chieftain December 11, 1918 Earl J. Clark is Hurt in Battle Earl J. Clark, formerly candy maker for the Alamo Co., and later ice cream maker for the Sanitary Co., was wounded in action in France, October 15. This information came to Mrs. Margaret Clark, the young soldier's mother, 824 W. 4th St., yesterday, in the form of a telegram from Adjutant General Harris, Wash., D. C. The telegram stated that Clark, who belonged to a machine gun battalion, had been wounded on the date mentioned and while in action, but that the degree of the injury was as yet undetermined; further information will be sent when received. Clark, who is 25 years old, left Pueblo October 3, 1917, for Camp Funston; after 3 weeks he was transferred to Camp Kearney where he remained in training for 9 months. He was then transferred to an Atlantic port and from there sailed for France. Pueblo Chieftain January 31, 1919 Earl Clark is Reported Killed Word was received in Pueblo Wednesday that Earl Clark, 824 W. 4th St. was killed in France while in action on October 24. Although the report stated that Clark was officially listed as killed, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Clark, are inclined to believe that their son is still alive. The latter part of October they received a telegram from the war dept. stating that Earl Clark had been wounded on October 15, then came the report that he was killed 10 days later. These reports coming so close cause the parents to think that the last report was erroneous. Earl Clark was well known in Pueblo having been born and reared here. He enlisted early in the war and was soon sent to France. He is a member of Camp No. 2, W. O. W. and was consul commander when he left for the army. Pueblo Chieftain February 2, 1919 Killed in France Earl Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Clark, 824 W. 4th St., has been officially listed as killed in action, October 15, 1918. However the parents are inclined to believe that he is still alive as just 10 days before they received word that he was killed, they were informed by telegram from the government that Earl had been wounded. It is an assured fact that if he was wounded badly on October 5, he couldn't have been in action 10 days afterward, therefore Mr. and Mrs. Clark believe the latter report is erroneous. Clark was well known in Pueblo having been born and reared here. He is a member of the Camp No. 2, W. O. W. and was consul commander when he enlisted early in the war. Clark, Ed Ed Clark - 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. Clark, Edward Edward Clark - Pueblo Indicator - December 17, 1938 - Ensign Edward Clark of the Salvation army died December 11. He came here from England and for many years he and Mrs. Clark were well known workers in the Army. For years they drove over the city making collections of goods in a vehicle.

Clark, Mary Mary Clark Pueblo Chieftain October 31, 1918 Divorce Suit Is Settled by Death Death yesterday settled the divorce suit of Mrs. Mary Clark against John Clark. Mrs. Clark was a victim of influenza; her husband, the defendant in the legal separation action has just recovered from an attack of the same malady. The Clarks were married in this city March 18, 1905; result of the marriage, two sons, 12 and 9 years of age. Suit for divorce was filed some time ago, and a hearing in the County Court as to alimony was had with the result that alimony in the sum of $40 per month, pending determination of the case, was decreed; this the defendant had been paying right along, the children being in the custody of the mother. Early in the present month a hearing was had as to findings, and what is known is an interlocutory decree was granted. Yesterday Mrs. Clark succumbed to the influenza; the last alimony check sent to Mrs. Clark through the County Court, remaining uncashed as the beneficiary was unable to attend to any business. On her death, it was returned to the County Court, and naturally, goes to the defendant in the case who issued it. He came to the County Court yesterday. Later he went to the local draft board where he registered for the purpose of having his status changed, which changes necessary owing to the death of his wife. The court, according to provision of the law in such contingencies, decreed the divorce to the deceased plaintiff in the case. The children will now come under the custody of the father.

He was proud of being cancer free for 25 years and of his sobriety of 22 years. Hardships turned him into a loving and compassionate person, always ready with a caring ear, empathetic advice and his unique loving humor to soothe the pains of those in need. He joined the U.S. Army at age 16 and served two years in Germany and Korea. He worked oil field and construction jobs most of his life until he became disabled in 1997. He was preceded in death by his father, Coy J. Clark; mother, Barbara Clark Madison; stepfather, Jack Madison; his son, Brian Rector; and Brian's son, Mark.

Born March 18, 1922, Tony was a beloved educator who touched the lives of thousands of students and staff as a teacher and as principal at Freed, Pitts and Roncalli middle schools. Tony moved to Pueblo from Bern, Kan., where he'd settled after serving his country in the 10th Mountain Division during World War II. Here in Pueblo, he continued his service as a public school teacher, becoming active in Pueblo Education Association, Pueblo Lions' Club and his church. Not one to sit back and watch, Tony was always at the front of the action, working and fighting for his kids, his school, his community. He loved sports and was a notable gymnast in college at Kansas State University, where he earned his undergraduate degree, later earning a master's from Columbia University. He grew that love into an amazing talent as a coach of athletic teams and later, instructional teams, able to find, harness and focus the best in each member of his team. Tony challenged himself, his family and friends, as well, in woodworking, gardening, dancing, cribbage and golf, enjoying the people he was with as much as the challenge. Pueblo is a better place for Tony's having lived here with us; he will be sadly missed, but his memory and spirit live in every one of us whose lives he touched.

Clouse - Huerfano World Journal - March 17, 2011 - Long time Huerfano County resident Samuel D. Clouse passed away at his mountain home on Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Sam was born October 14, 1942. He was the third member of four children to join the family in Ringold County, Iowa. He was preceded in death by both parents; sister, Bonnie Pelowski Cline; brother-in-law, Jerdine Barnhart; nephew, Michael Pelowski; nephew, Daniel Barnhart; granddaughter, Lynnette DaPron; grandnephew, Cole Barnhart; and grandnephew Cody Barnhart. This list demonstrates the grief he suffered throughout his time. Sam and his wife of 26 years, Karen Clouse, pioneered the small mountain community of Shangri-La, where Sam kept the mountain roads clear for neighbors and family so they could make it home. He did this for 20 years. Sam loved his horses, dogs and the many other critters he had. Sam was able to fix anything he set his mind to. From cement work to electrical, plumbing, technology or anything else, he found a way to get the job done. This was whether he had ever seen the thing or not. He spent many years traveling to work sites from Virginia to Washington. He has taken part in building grain bins, cleaners, silos as well as helping many with construction work. Sam also traveled internationally as he worked as a millwright in Saudi Arabia, on three separate working tours. He also worked in Morocco on a tour. Family was very important to Sam. Sisters Barbara Barnhart and Elsie Mae Hardwick only had to ask for Sam's help on a project and he would be there. His children meant the world to him. Lynda Kerstetter, Jon Clouse, Shane Clouse, JoEllen Ripple and Cheryl Ferguson also thought very highly of him. Their spouses were also important to Sam. There was nothing better than a phone call to catch up, visiting with grandchildren or the special birthday calls. Sam is survived by a host of family: sisters, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren that held a special place in his heart. Above all he was a stubborn cuss with a quick reaction for those that crossed what he felt was wrong. He did whatever he could for family and friends giving a helping hand or the shirt he was wearing. Sam was buried in his upper meadow near his mountain home on March 4, 2011. A memorial service was held at his final resting place on March 6 surrounded by family and friends. Clover, Gerald C. Gerald C.

The dead thus far discovered are: Barney Rafferty, 60 years old, laborer, single; Joseph Scorafa, 20 years old, single, laborer; John Coama, 35 years old, single, a stranger, occupation unknown; Mrs. Caroline Izar, 60 years old. Coama's body was found at 9 o'clock this morning, standing bolt upright in a house in the flat back of Lannon's foundry on Santa Fe avenue, near the river. He had been in the city but a few days, and as he was fully dressed it is supposed that he took refuge in the house and escape was cut off by ten feet of water. Mrs. Izar's body was discovered at 3:30 this afternoon in her house at 114 North Mechanic Street, in the flat east of the city hall, where the water was eight feet deep. She had apparently gone to bed, for she was clad only in her night dress. When she awoke escape was impossible. She and her husband, John Izar, a shoemaker, have been living apart and she was alone in the house, which was not known to be occupied and was not approached by any of the numerous rescuing parties. As time goes on grave fears are entertained that the list of fatalities will be increased, and diligent search is being made in the locality where the bodies were found today, that being believed the most likely district of the occurrence of drowning. Something of a sensation was created today when the post mortem was made on the body of Rafferty, the first found, who was supposed to have met death in the swollen waters of the Bessemer ditch. The back of his head was broken and as he had just received a sum of money foul play was thought possible. His lungs contained no water, so that the suspicions are confirmed. His money and valuables, however, he had left at his boarding place and they were recovered. Coates, James James Coates Pueblo Chieftain May 12, 1917 Former Denver Politician Throws Self Before Train Eludes Guards at State Insane Hospital and Meets Death Near Nyberg Early Yesterday Morning James Coates, 55 years old, an inmate at the Colorado State insane hospital, was instantly killed early yesterday morning east of Nyberg when he threw himself in front of a Santa Fe passenger train. Death was almost instantaneous. Coates, up until the time he was committed to the asylum here was active in Denver politics and served two terms in the city council as an alderman under the old regime. Failing health caused his family to have him committed to the asylum in February of this year. The man escaped from the asylum grounds Thursday afternoon and although he was missed and guards were sent to search for him he eluded capture and was walking east of the city when he met his death early yesterday morning. Hiding in the darkness of the shadows to the right of the tracks he awaited until the train was almost upon him when he threw himself in front of it. He was seen by members of the train crew too late for the train to be stopped until after he had been struck. The body was brought to this city and is held at the Davis & Vories' morgue awaiting instructions from relatives in Denver. Coates, Mary K. Mary K.

This last child, and exceptionally handsome and bright little creature, is now nearly 2 years old. A short time ago the mother died of Spanish influenza. The husband and father, with other men, has since been keeping a sort of a wholesale bachelor's hall, and the children, so it appears, have had no woman to look after them. This condition caused them to be brought into the juvenile court with the idea of having them sent to the home for dependent children. Happily this was avoided by friends of the children getting together and arranging matters so that three families agreed each to adopt one of the children, and a core yesterday the father made a touching appeal to keep his own little one which he carried in his arms even to the witness stand. Finally it was arranged that the father of the little one should keep it, and they two should reside with one of the families adopting another of the children; so all ended happily to the children, the court, and the father of the little one.

Scott, Chief of Staff, were among the number. Was Known by Everyone Col. William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," Hunter, scout, and showman was for many years known to nearly every man, woman, boy or girl in America through his wild West show with which he toured this country and Europe. He was a picturesque type of the pioneer frontiersman and lived to see large cities built where he once hunted the Buffalo and fought Indians. Col. William F. Cody was born in Scott County, Iowa, February 26, 1846. His ancestral stock was Spanish, English, and Irish. His parents moved west and took up a claim near Leavenworth, Kan., then a frontier Indian post, when Cody was five years old. At ten years of age he found himself the head of the family owing to the death of his father who was killed in an encounter growing out of a dispute over the Negro slave question. Young Cody's first employment was as a courier between the freight wagon trains operating between the Mo. River and the Rocky Mountains. In turn he became wagon master, trapper, hunter, pony express rider, and stagecoach driver, all giving a varied experience in a school, the graduation from which left the scholar adept in every possible line of frontier activity. In exciting experience in the Union Army as a soldier and subsequently as a confidant and scout of his commanders in the desultory and guerilla warfare of the southwest left him at its finish well known as an all-around frontiersman, competent to advise, to guide, and to lead. These qualities soon brought him to the attention of such distinguished commanders as Gen. W. T. Sherman, Lieut. Gen. Phil Sheridan, and General's Crook, Custer, Merritt, Carr, Royal Miles, Dodge and others and secured his appointment as chief of scouts in the United States Army during its numerous Indian campaigns in the west. Was Great Indian Fighter His career in this line identified him with the great fighting epoch between the red man and the white man waged by Gen. Sheridan after the Civil War that temporarily ended in 1876, but was effectively finished in the Ghost Dance war in the decisive battle of Wounded Knee in 1890-91 campaign with the Northern Sioux. During the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad Young Cody attached himself to a camp of United States troops protecting the laborers and one his sobriquer of "Buffalo Bill" by taking a contract to supply the entire force with fresh buffalo meat for a certain period, killing under one contract, 4,280 buffaloes. On the occasion he killed the noted Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hand in the presence of Indians and troops. He became known to juvenile America in the stories of Western adventure written by E. A. C. Judson, who wrote under the nom de plume of Ned Buntline. With the advance of civilization, finding his occupation on the western planes gone, he went on the stage where he remained several years playing leading parts in dramas depicting life on the frontier. Later in association with Nate Salsbury, he organized his wild West show with which he toured this country for many years and on one occasion visited the principal cities of Europe, where he was warmly received and entertained by royalty.

Cody (Buffalo Bill) who died in Denver yesterday, by adopting a memorial. Sen. Napier introduced a resolution which was seconded by Sen. Candlish. The resolution follows: "The daring and adventurous spirits, who braving the perils and hardships of pioneer life, founded and shaped in the upbuilding of an imperial west upon the crest of this continent, in the ordinary course of nature are rapidly passing away. Those who, lowered on by the hopes and ambitions of youth in early manhood, herded our rugged mountain heights, penetrated their gloomy forbidding recesses and opened those vast treasure vaults which have added countless millions to the wealth of the world have outlived their allotted span of life and are themselves being summoned to the final 'crossing of the range.' Among these arguments of empire builders was the Hon. William F. Cody, who has recently been called to answer to the final trumpet. His death has brought sorrow to the hearts of many thousands throughout the state and nation. He was a man of forcible character and preeminent ability. In all walks of life he was a thorough westerner, which is the best type of American citizenship. He was a maker of history. As a friend he was always steadfast and true. As a token of appreciation of the distinguished services be it: "Resolved, by the Senate and House of representatives of the twenty-first general assembly, that the remains lie in state in the rotunda of the capitol building between the hours of 9 and 12 a.m., Sunday, January 14, 1917, and that this memorial be spread upon the journals of the Senate and House of Representatives and that an engrossed copy be transmitted to the family of the deceased. Pueblo Chieftain January 14, 1917 Arrangement Is Made for Cody Funeral Denver, January 13 Final arrangements were made for the funeral of Col. William F. Cody, who died here Wednesday, at a meeting of the committee representing the Elks and the city of Denver late today. Few changes were made in plans already announced. The only son his friends ever heard him saying, "Tenting on the Old Campground," was chosen by his relatives today as one of the two vocal numbers to be rendered at his funeral. The body is to lie in state for three hours in the capitol building tomorrow morning guarded by national guards, members of the Grand Army and representatives of other organizations to which the Col. belonged, while the public is admitted to view the bronze casket, weighing more than half a ton, in which all that is mortal of the famous scout is to remain. Although no formal campaign has been commenced for funds with which to erect a suitable monument to Col. Cody, a superintendent of a rural school near here today brought in the first contribution to monument fund. It consisted of forty-seven new buffalo nickels, one for each child in school. In discussions of plans for a monument it had been suggested that the contributions be limited to schoolchildren and that the maximum contribution be five cents. Florists, express messenger's and other agencies were busy today delivering flowers at the home of his sister here were Col. Cody's body is lying. Some of them were delivered on cabled orders from abroad; many were sent from distant cities. Pueblo Chieftain June 3, 1917 To Place Buffalo Bill's Body in His Grave on Mountain Denver, Colo., June 2 At sunrise tomorrow morning the body of Col. William F Cody, "Buffalo Bill", will be taken from his temporary resting place in a Denver mortuary and will be transported to a fault hewn into the solid rock of "Wildcat Point," on Lookout Mountain, there to remain. From the summit of the mountain plains of the states of Kan., Nebraska, and Wyo. are visible. It was upon these claims that the old scout and Hunter spent his early life. Often in later years when a showman he had gone to the place and it was his fondness for the scenery that led those in charge of his funeral to choose "Wild Point" as the pioneer's last resting place. Col. Cody died on January 10, last. On January 14 public funeral services, attended by thousands of persons within and outside of Colo., were held for the plainsman. Tomorrow's services are to be simple and no provision has been made for the attendance of a great crowd. The massive bronze coffin containing the great scout's body is to be sealed into the vault with the rights of the Masonic burial service, which will be performed by Golden City Lodge No. 1, the oldest Masonic organization in this part of the west. A delegation of Knights Templar from the Commandery in North Platte, of which Col. Cody also was a member, will act as escort. Members of the Rocky Mountain Rangers, of which organization the Col. was a member, will form a guard of honor. Miss Hazel Bennett of Denver, a niece of Col. Cody, will sing "The Bridge," a favorite song of the old scout. The vault in which the body is to be placed will be in the center of a memorial building to be erected to the memory of the pioneers of all America. The rotunda of this building will be the tomb of Col. Cody while its wings will be devoted respectively to a library of pioneer lore and a gallery in which are to be hung paintings of the great pioneers of each state. This building is to be surrounded by a granite terrace on which will be a bronze equestrian statue of Col. Cody. Pueblo Chieftain June 4, 1917 Last Tribute Paid to Memory of Buffalo Bill, Noted Scout 10,000 Denver Persons Attended Services on Mountaintop When Pioneer's Body Is Placed in Its Last Resting Place Denver, June 3 Last tribute was paid today by a vast assemblage to the memory of Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) when the body of the famous scout and plainsman was laid to rest in a grave blasted from the solid rock on top of Lookout Mountain, 20 miles from Denver. More than 10,000 people went from Denver to Lookout Mountain by automobile and electric train. For four hours before the ceremony at the grave there was a steady procession of automobiles winding up the mountainside toward the summit, far above the plateau on which Denver is situated. More than 2,000 persons, it was estimated, who had gone by trolley to Golden, at the foot of the mountain, climbed steep trails or trudged along the automobile road to Wildcat Point, where the burial was held. The ceremony at the grave was not elaborate, only the Masonic ritual being used, and was under the direction of the Golden Masonic Lodge. A delegation of Knights Templar from North Platte, Nebraska, where Col. Cody held his membership, acted as an escort for the body at the grave. As a last shovelful of the earth was thrown into the grave a bugler sounded taps. When the last note had died out a battery of Colo. National Guard artillery fired a salute of 13 guns. As the last shot ceased reverberating among the mountains, the Stars and Stripes broke out from a flagpole at the grave and the burial ceremony was ended. For an hour and a half before the services began the thousands of persons who had made the journey to the summit of the peak where Col. Cody often had gone to view the broad plains of Colo., Nebraska, Kan., and Wyo., and the snowcapped peaks of Colo. all visible from the spot chosen for his last resting place passed in a steady stream on either side of the coffin for a last look at the face of the old plainsman. With bared heads they pass by men, women, and children and then the coffin was sealed and the services began. Besides the scout's widow his two sisters, Mrs. Judy Goodman of Cody, Wyo., and Mrs. Mary Cody Decker, and other relatives of Buffalo Bill, two of the scout's companions of frontier life were present and added a picturesque touch to the scene at the grave. They were Col. J. H. Boggs who came from Mattoon, Ill. for the occasion, and Michael Russell of Deadwood, South Dakota. Among the floral pieces received from organizations and friends of Col. Cody was one sent by the Canton, Ohio, commander of the army and navy union. The day was perfect. A bright sun lighted the mountains and the broad stretches of prairie below Wildcat Point and the assembled crowd presented something of a holiday appearance. There was not room enough on the eminence where the burial was held for a tenth of the people who made the journey to be within hearing or seeing distance of the ceremonies. Hundreds departed after viewing the body without waiting for the service. So great was the crowd that men and boys perched on every available limb of the scraggy treetops on the peak in an effort to see what took place. So heavy were the three laden with the human burden that the police ordered them cleared. No sooner was one group compelled to descend that another clambered into the tree tops. The police were kept busy to prevent an accident. Despite the heavy automobile traffic on the mountain road, only one accident, a minor one was reported. Coe, William William Bill Coe - From "From the Grave, A Roadside Guide to Colorado's Pioneer Cemeteries," by Linda Wommack, published by Caxton Press, Caldwell, Idaho in 1998 - Ghost Notes, Mysteries, & Other Related Findings - William Bill Coe, and his band of outlaws roamed southern Colorado Territory during the 1860s. They robbed and terrorized travelers and homesteaders. The band boldly robbed wagon trains, merchants and stole horses from the Army in broad daylight. Coe publicly bragged in saloons of the Army's inability to catch him. Finally captured at North Ranch, Coe was taken to Fort Lyon, where he managed to escape. Recaptured and taken to the Pueblo jail, a lynch mob stormed through the town, intent on hanging Coe. At daybreak, Coe's body was discovered dangling from a tree in the nearby meadow. Years ago, during an excavation project near Pueblo, a skeleton with leg irons was unearthed, and tentatively identified as the remains of William Coe. Coffee, Arvella I. Arvella I.

Coffman, David David Coffman - Colorado Springs Gazette - February 17, 2005 - 8 Die as Jet Crashes Near Pueblo - Circuit City Plane Was Trying to Land in Freezing Rain -Pueblo - Federal authorities today will start looking for the reasons a corporate jet crashed and burned Wednesday morning east of Pueblo Memorial Airport, killing all eight people on board. The victims were the pilot and co-pilot, four employees of Circuit City Stores Inc. of Richmond, Va., and two others. The identities of those killed hadn't been released by late Wednesday. The twin-engine Cessna Citation C560 left Richmond on Wednesday morning en route to Irvine, Calif. It went down at 9:13 a.m. and burst into flames about five miles east of the Pueblo airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said. The crash site was near a dairy farm, west of the Pueblo Chemical Depot, where the military stores chemical weapons. The plane was attempting an instrument landing in freezing drizzle after filing a flight plan citing Pueblo as its destination, FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said. However, Pueblo County Sheriff Dan Corsentino said Pueblo was to be the aircraft's second of two fuel stops. "Two witnesses said they heard loud popping," Corsentino said, adding that they didn't actually see the crash. It was traveling with a companion aircraft, Corsentino said, which was 10 to 12 minutes behind it and landed safely. He did not identify who the second plane's passengers were affiliated with but said some of them boarded commercial flights out of Denver later Wednesday to "return home." He did not give their destination. Sheriff's deputies and investigators initially searched the site for survivors. When they found none, they cordoned off the site and waited for National Transportation Safety Board investigators. Pueblo Memorial Airport Manager Jerry Brienza said the airport has never experienced "a crash of this magnitude." "As far as I know, (the pilot) didn't declare an emergency," Brienza said after talking to air traffic controllers. He described the weather at 900 feet as "broken sky," at 1,400 feet as "overcast" and said the wind was at 7 knots - about 8 mph. A small Mesa jet had just landed at the airport minutes before. "It's not uncommon for aircraft to land safely in this weather," Brienza said. Circuit City confirmed on its Web site that a plane registered to the company had crashed in Colorado and had eight people on board, four of whom were employees of the company. None was an officer, the posting noted, adding no comment would be made pending notification of relatives. "Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones during their time of need," Circuit City CEO W. Alan McCollough said in a statement to the Associated Press. Circuit City owns about a half dozen stores along the Front Range and 50 stores within 100 miles of Irvine. The investigation will be conducted by an eight-member NTSB team from Washington, D.C., headed by chairman and CEO Ellen Engleman Conners. The team was to arrive in Colorado late Wednesday. NTSB teams are sent to multiple-fatality or air-carrier crashes. The crash site, which covered a half-mile radius, was bordered by sheriff's and coroner's vehicles who kept vigil over the wreckage and did not remove the bodies until federal authorities arrived. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Bryant said late Wednesday a representative from a local funeral home was on the scene to remove the bodies. Coffman, Donna L. Donna L.

Pueblo Chieftain November 8, 1918 Four Pueblo Boys Die Across Seas of Disease Four more of Pueblo's soldier boys have recently answered the call of the Grim Reaper, two of influenza and two of bronchial-pneumonia. Luther L. Collins, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Collins of Boone, was a victim of bronchial pneumonia in France. He enlisted last October and was sent to Camp Funston; later to Camp Kearney, where he remained until sent overseas. His Co., the 158th headquarters of the infantry, left Camp Kearny in August, 1918, for France. He had been in France only a short time when he became ill with pneumonia which proved fatal. He was 27 years old and at the time of his enlistment was in the employ of the Avondale grocery store. 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. Collins, Marjorie Marjorie "Marj" Zuniga Collins - The Norman Transcript - November 2, 2006 - Marjorie "Marj" Zuniga Collins was born March 31, 1923, in Trinidad, Colo., to Desiderio Reyes and Maria Leandra Zuniga.

Collins, Nettie Nettie Collins Pueblo Chieftain September 6, 1919 Mrs. William M. Collins Is Shot and Killed by Husband Mrs. William M. Collins, a negress, age 44 years, was shot and instantly killed by her husband, an employee of the Mo. Pacific Railroad, in their home at 101 Block W, at 11 o'clock last night following a quarrel. Mrs. Collins was shot through the heart. After the shooting, Collins summoned M. M. McDaniels, a relative, living next-door and told him of the crime. McDaniels called the police and Collins surrendered. The death of Mrs. Collins last night occurred after a period of constant quarreling and unhappiness in the home, Collins told the police. McDaniels verified his statements, saying that Collins and his wife had been quarreling for years. The shooting and killing of Mrs. Collins occurred a few moments after they had retired, when according to Collins a quarrel started. Mrs. Collins intimated several times in their arguments that he had better stop or he will suffer the consequence. Mrs. Collins pulled a 38-caliber revolver from under the pillow, he said, and in the scuffle, while Collins attempted to stop her from shooting him, he snatched the firearm from her and shot her through the breast.

Campbell, today over the body of Mrs. Nettie Collins, who was shot and killed by her husband, William Collins, at their home, 101 Block W, Friday night. No new developments in the case have been disclosed, it is said, that it is reported that the inquest today may bring to light some facts that made disprove the husband's story of the crime or substantiate it. Pueblo Chieftain September 9, 1919 The funeral of Mrs. Nettie Collins will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home, 1107 Pine St., and at 2:30 from the Bethlehem Baptist Church. Rev. Chinn officiating. Burial Roselawn Cemetery in charge of McCarthy's. Pueblo Chieftain September 9, 1919 Jury Doubted Story Told by Collins of the Murder "With felonious intent." That William Collins, colored, shot and killed his wife Nettie Collins, at their home, 101 Block W last Friday night, there has from the beginning been no question; in fact the husband had admitted all the time that he slew his wife, but claimed that it was during a struggle following a quarrel, many of which they had indulged in, and that it was a matter of kill or get killed. But with four bullet wounds in the woman's body, and every indication that the struggle story was a fake, and was no evidence to show that the gun which did the work belonged to the woman or that it was kept under her pillow, the jury empanelled by Coroner Campbell decided after hearing the testimony of 8 witnesses, that the killing was a cold-blooded murder. The inquest was held at McCarthy's yesterday afternoon, and Dr. Luke MacLean told of the findings of his autopsy. One bullet entered the right side of the face, and emerged into the mouth at the back of the tongue. Another entered the left wrist, passing through and shattering the bone. Another entered the back of the right shoulder and passed through the body with a downward course. The fourth described (though not necessarily the last fired) entered the right breast, passed through the ascending aorta and almost emerged from the back. The last described wound would cause death instantly. All of the bullets that struck the woman, were found, the last one the morning following the tragedy, outside the building. The gun used was a blued Hopkins & Allen of .38 caliber. When the officers found the weapon which had been hidden in another room in some bedclothes, all five chambers were empty; what had become of the fifth cartridge nobody could tell. M. W. McDaniels, a colored neighbor of Collins, called the police after he had been summoned by Collins following the shooting. Collins told the officers that he and his wife had been fussing and she kept a gun under her pillow, had said to him just after she retired that night she was through with him and was going to kill him, that she took the gun from under her pillow and in the scuffle for the possession of the weapon, he shot her. Collins is a rather small and slight built man; his wife is 5'11" in height and weight upwards of 200 pounds. He is very dark skinned, while his wife might be classed as a dark mulatto. A letter was produced which had been written by Mrs. Collins to her son-in-law in Denver, Henry Simms, 2435 Arapahoe St., but which had not been mailed. This letter stated that her husband, William Collins, had threatened to kill her, and so if she was found murdered in her bed at any time, he, Simms, would know who did it. Beside Dr. MacLean and McDaniels, the following witnesses testified as to their findings and observations after the murder: Police Chauffeur W. L. McDonald, Capt. of Police Jack Sinclair, Station Policeman John Peterson, Patrolman George T. Johnson, and N. F. Mahar of the Whiton Mortuary Association. Collins, the killer, was asked if he desired to be heard, but on advice of his attorney, John Adams, he stated that he would have nothing at all to say. Pueblo Chieftain September 10, 1919 The funeral of Mrs. Nettie Collins was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home 1107 Pine St. and 2:30 from the Bethlehem Baptist Church. Rev. T. W. Henry conducted the services. The Lily of the West No. 250 charge of the services at the grave. The pallbearers and flower bearers were Kate Reddicks, Chancey Holmes, Prentis Foxworth, Nancy Williams, Lula Callaway, and Anna Franklin and Minnie Tallie. Interment in Roselawn in charge of McCarthy. Pueblo Chieftain September 17, 1919 Murder Charge Is Filed Against William Collins In the District Court yesterday direct information was filed which charged William Collins, Negro, with the murder of his wife, Nettie Collins, nearly 2 weeks ago. Pending his trial, Collins has been held in jail without bail. Collins is alleged to have shot his wife while she was in bed, and the coroner's inquest revealed that she had left a note stating that should she be found dead, it would be at the hands of her husband. Self-defense is Collins' plea. The estate of Collins' wife involves considerable real property which is being administered in the County Court by her brother, Jenk E. Person. Pueblo Chieftain November 1, 1919 Negro Sentenced to Pen for Killing Wife William Collins, colored, who shot and killed his wife, Lizzie Collins, on her bed in their home at 98 Block W on the night of September 5 last, was yesterday sentenced in the District Court to from 4 to 6 years in the state penitentiary. The Dist. Atty. consented to accept a plea of guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Testimony was taken following the plea in court, and after the hearing Judge Park pronounced the sentence. The woman, who was quite large weighing probably 200 pounds, was found in her nightdress lying near the bed with a bullet hole in her chest. The postmortem brought out the information that she died instantly. It was shown at the inquest that the couple had quarreled several times; neighbors testified to this. A letter was shown members of the corner's jury which the woman is alleged to have written, but not mailed, to a relative stating that her husband had threatened her, and that if she should be found dead, those addressed would know what had happened. Collins on the other hand, claimed his wife had threatened him, and that was during a struggle that the gun was discharged and she was killed. There was no evidence adduced at the inquest to show that the woman really did have a revolver under her pillow, and it was stated by the officers that the gun with which the shooting was done was found hidden in another room. However, there was no evidence adduced at the court hearing tending to disprove Collins's statement as to a struggle between the two. Collins, Wesley G. Wesley G.

Colmenenly, Alexander Alexander Big Tex Colmenenly - Rocky Mountain News - June 15, 1890 - Big Tex - The Skeleton of the Old Desperado Exhumed at Pueblo - Pueblo, Colo., June 14 - Several old citizens have identified the shackled skeleton uncovered here yesterday. It belonged to Alexander Colmenenly, known as Big Tex, lynched on April 11, 1867. The man was a lawyer by profession from Tennessee or Kentucky, and during the war commanded a company of union rangers. He fought at the battle of Mill Spring and claimed to have killed General Zollicoffer. After the surrender at Appomattox he came west and organized one of the largest and most desperate bands of horse and cattle thieves ever known on the Dry Cimarron in New Mexico. On one occasion he killed two Mexicans and ran off with 3,000 sheep. But this was by no means his greatest act of villainy. The daring deeds of the gang at last attracted the attention of the United States government, and the Seventh cavalry and Fourteenth infantry were detailed to look the matter up. Big Tex murdered a Sergeant Barrett of the cavalry in a cowardly way, and after being captured at Nine Mile bottom was brought to Pueblo. His immense strength, proportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches, was well known, and to prevent his escape they handcuffed and shackled him. The shackles were made by Governor Norton at the blacksmith shop of Norton & Galloway, and were riveted around his ankles. Three days after his arrival he was taken out of the frame hut where he had been kept and hung. He was buried with the shackles and the next night resurrected and his head cut off. The skull is now in possession of Dr. Thombs, superintendent of the insane asylum.

Colton, Charles Charles Colton - Rocky Mountain News - August 8, 1889 - A Fatal Draught - An Ignorant and Insane Tramp Takes Morphine - Trinidad, Aug. 7 - Some time ago, a matter of two weeks or so, there was arrested on the charge of vagrancy a man who has been a familiar sight in the streets of Trinidad. When arrested it was under the name of Charles Cooper. The case against him was proven and he was sentenced to seven days. During the time that he was confined Jailer Caldwell thought he discovered signs of insanity in his charge. He was a kleptomaniac, going so far as to steal stockings off the feet of one of his sleeping companions in the jail. These and other indications led the jailer to bring about an examination as to the sanity of the prisoner, and an examination was to have been held today. While in confinement Harry Ambrest, who is well and unfavorably known here as a morphine fiend, was incarcerated in the same cell as Cooper, who, by the way, said that his proper name was Colton. Tuesday afternoon while Ambrest was asleep, Cooper or Colton went through Ambrest's pockets and found a vial of morphine, which is said to have contained about twenty-five grains of the drug. This Colton placed to his lips regardless of the label on the bottle telling the deadly contents. One of the jailers in his rounds was shown the empty bottle and informed of his act by Colton. Medical attendance was immediately summoned and all possible attention given the case. Attendants were by the side of the unconscious vagrant and idiot all night, and yesterday morning he seemed to respond to their attention by breathing freer. Notwithstanding, at about 2 o'clock he died. Official orders were given to remove the body to the undertaker's, where an inquest will be held on Thursday. The morphine fiend was ordered to help move the sick man while yet alive to the old county jail and during the process skipped out. The deceased was undoubtedly crazy and so illiterate a man that he was ignorant of what he was doing. Ambrest has since been apprehended and taken into custody. Columbo, Sam Sam Columbo - Wray Rattler - May 31, 1907 - Sam Columbo, a miner at Berwind, ten miles north of Trinidad, was electrocuted. He was going off shift, carrying a can of hot water on his head, when the can touched an overhead trolley wire of the mine tramway, and the powerful current killed him. The coroner decided that the death was the result of the miner's own carelessness. Columbo was twenty-two years old and single. Colvin, Charles H. Charles H.

"Steve was probably one of the top influences on music in this community," said Jim Marcum, who played for years with Comi in the Pueblo Municipal Band. "He had a strong influence on music educators and professors in the community and he was a fine leader." Comi, 81, died Monday. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Montgomery and Steward Chapel. Comi is survived by his wife, Caroline; his mother, Louise Comi and three grown children. Comi took up playing the saxophone in fifth grade and his love of music blossomed such that by the time he graduated from Centennial High School in 1942, he was the leader of a 10-piece band named the Steve Comi Band. The band would perform at dances throughout the city. After graduating from Centennial, Comi enlisted in the Army and served through the end of World War II. As a soldier in the 7th Army under Gen. George Patton, Comi was awarded a Bronze Star for his actions during a battle in Remilly, France. Following his discharge from the Army, Comi returned to music. He obtained a bachelor's degree in music education at the University of Colorado. He then worked as a music teacher in Kansas and Nebraska. He later earned a master's degree from CU and returned to Pueblo to become the instrumental music director at his alma mater, Centennial. In 1995, Comi was inducted into the Centennial Hall of Fame for his contributions to music. In addition to teaching, Comi remained active in playing various woodwind instruments in local bands from the Colorado State Fair Rodeo and Stage band to the Pueblo Municipal Band. In 1976, Comi was named the director of the Municipal Band. "He was a very strong director," said Marcum, who played in the Municipal Band under Comi's leadership. Marcum later became the director of the Municipal Band. "He was responsible for pulling the band up in a quality away from the sluggard band image," he said. "He really, really developed the band into a very fine band and musical ensemble. He took it a long way musically." But playing music wasn't Comi's only gig. He also was a master at repairing instruments. For years, he owned the Sick Instrument Clinic where he repaired everything from woodwind to string instruments. Even after he sold the business, Comi continued to repair instruments at Rob's Music and most recently at Marck Time Music. Comi repaired instruments at Marck Time up until earlier this year. "He was an artist," said Richard Wright, who teaches music at Marck Time Music and John Neumann Catholic School. "If a horn came in that looked impossible to fix, Steve would look at it for a while and then go home and make some kind of tool and come back and fix it. He was a miracle worker."

Cook, Barbara Barbara Cook - Greeley Daily Tribune - May 3, 1950 - Pueblo Sheriff, Woman Deputy Die in Plane - Greeley, Neb., May 2 - Two persons, identified from papers as Sheriff Joe E. Tucker and his deputy, Mrs. Barbara Cook, both of Pueblo, Colo., were killed today in a plane crash seven miles northwest of here. The victims were identified by papers found in pockets of their clothing. County Attorney Barrett said the cause of the crash was unknown. There was no fire and no evidence of gas about the wreckage, Barrett said. And he speculated that the plane may have run out of gas. He said the plane apparently had stopped at Julesburg, Colo., earlier in the day for gas. A marked map indicated it may have been en route to Brainerd, Minn., Barrett said. The county attorney said Colorado authorities had been notified. In Pueblo, Undersheriff Joe DeJoy said Tucker, who had observed his 38th birthday Monday, was en-route to Brainerd, Minn., to take Mrs. Cook to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Zoffee of that city. Mrs. Cook, DeJoy said, was the wife of Theodore F. Cook, who was sentenced recently to a one-year term in the state penitentiary for burglary. The couple had been separated, but Mrs. Cook came to Pueblo when her husband was arrested, he said. She was about 35. Tucker, who was elected sheriff in 1948 on the democratic ticket after having been defeated in 1946 by the same opponent, Earl H. Dunlap, is survived by his wife, Ethel. The couple had no children. DeJoy will serve as acting sheriff until a successor to complete the unexpired term, which ends next January, is appointed by the board of county commissioners. Tucker's 1946 try for the sheriff's job was his political debut. He was manager of the former army air base for about a year prior to 1948 when that facility was taken over by the city of Pueblo. Tucker, according to his flight instructor, Joe Rocco, obtained a private pilot's license last January. Rocco said Tucker made the fatal flight in a 1947 four-place plane which he had purchased last Friday from a Denver aviation firm. Rocco said Tucker had about 80 hours flight experience. John Smith, Greeley county sheriff, said it had been foggy in the area earlier in the day. However, he said, he did not believe visibility was limited enough at the time of the crash to hamper flying. The sheriff said Roger Mucahy, Greeley, had noticed the plane flying low about a mile from the crash scene. The plane did not appear to be in trouble, Mucahy said. Witnesses said wreckage of the plane was strewn for 250 feet from the point of the crash. The bodies of both Tucker and Mrs. Cook were badly mangled, Barrett said. Tucker's body was found about 50 feet from the crash, that of Mrs. Cook about 20 feet distance. A loaded .38 caliber revolver was found in the wreckage, Barrett said. The bodies were taken to the Finn mortuary at Greeley.

Cook of 1402 E. 8th St., and mother of two little children, one of which is only 5 weeks old, committed suicide yesterday morning shortly after 1 o'clock, by swallowing a number of tablets containing bichloride of mercury. Death followed within a few minutes. According to her husband, Mrs. Cook has shown symptoms of insanity for some time past. She is alleged to be a fanatic on the subject of religion. No trouble between husband and wife had occurred and her death came as a shock to the whole family. According to the police there is no doubt whatever, but that the woman came by her own death through suicide. On the day previous to the tragedy, two women, who are neighbors of the Cook family, noticed that the actions of Mrs. Cook were peculiar and out of the ordinary. She asked one neighbor if she would take care of one of the children for her the next day. The woman consented not attaching any significance to the remark. Mrs. Cook then requested her other neighbor to take care of the other child and she likewise agreed. Neither woman had any suspicions that the woman was contemplating suicide but merely laid her strange conduct to the fact that she was a little mentally unbalanced. Friday morning Mr. Cook was aroused from sleep on his wife called him and asked him to bring her some milk. He got up and brought a quart bottle of milk and as he entered the room he found his wife in convulsions and within two minutes after he entered the room she died. The coroner was summoned, but the police department was not notified until 9 o'clock Friday morning. Mrs. Cook is survived by her husband, age 34, and two children age 20 months and 5 weeks. Mrs. Cook was born in Montana, while her husband came from Ohio. The couple were married in Helena, Montana, August 7, 1915.

Cook, Edward Edward Cook - Pueblo Chieftain April 23, 1917 Pueblo Man Killed in Fowler Auto Accident C. T. Stahl and Edward Cook Die Bodies Lie in Road Overnight Z. T. Stahl, age 60, of Pueblo, and Edward Cook, age 19, Fowler, were killed between 10 and 12 o'clock Saturday night 6 miles west of Manzanola, when their automobile turned over, pinning them beneath. The accident was not discovered until 6 o'clock yesterday morning when David Lyle of Manzanola passed the wreck on his way to Pueblo and noticed the occupants underneath. Stahl was dead when Lyle found him and Cook died of his injuries 2 hours after being taken to Manzanola for treatment. He never regained consciousness. Stahl was running a tractor plowing outfit south of Fowler this spring and was making his home in that vicinity. Cook was employed at a garage in Fowler. As near as can be determined from an inspection of the wreckage, the accident was caused by one of the rear tires blowing out when the car was running at a high-speed thus throwing the machine into the ditch where it struck a culvert and turned over. Guy Cook, a brother of the dead man, is employed at Wiley in an automobile shop. He passed the wreck at 3 o'clock yesterday morning on his way to Fowler to spend Sunday with his brother. He was traveling at a high rate of speed and had his eyes fixed on the road ahead so he did not notice the overturned car at the side of the highway. Cook's parents live in Kan. and will arrive in Fowler this morning to take charge of the body. As far as can be learned, Stahl has no children. His wife is confined to the state hospital for the insane.

Cook - The Oklahoman - July 7, 1916 - Former Woodward Man Kills Young Bride and Self - Pueblo, Co., July 6 - (Special) - In a rage early Thursday, James G. Cook, 52 years old, shot and killed his bride, Margaret Ross Cook, 14 years old, on a bridge over the Arkansas river, fired two shots at Mary Ross, her sister, then climbed upon the railing of the bridge, sent a bullet into his own head and plunged into the rocky river bottom. Both the girl and Cook died almost instantly. Miss Ross escaped uninjured. Cook came to Pueblo a year ago with the Ross family with whom he had been boarding at Woodward, Okla. He was married to Margaret Ross several months ago. A family quarrel, which led to the determination on the part of the girl-wife to live with Cook no longer, led to the tragedy. Pueblo Chieftain June 11, 1918 Finally Awards Property after Contest by the Heirs The sensational murder and suicide which occurred on the Victoria Avenue Bridge July 5, 1916, sounded its final echo yesterday in the county court when Judge Frank G. Mirick awarded the 320-acre Cook Ranch in Peaceful Valley, this county, to the parents of James G. Cook, the man who sent his own soul and that of his young wife into eternity. For a considerable time the title to the property was in dispute on the point of whether the man or the woman died first. In the district court before Judge Rizer the issues were tested, and at the hearing witnesses to the tragedy testified that when they came to the prostrate form of the young woman they quickly examined her and found her dead; just at that instant they heard the shot with which Cook killed himself. It had been contended by heirs of the dead woman that she was not quite dead when Cook fired the bullet into his own head; if that had been the case the suicide's property would have been heired by the murdered wife, and at her death, it would go to her family. If both had died at precisely the same fraction of a second the property would be heired by the husband's relatives providing there were no children, which was true in this case, as the common-law provides for that contingency. However the evidence adduced at the district court was so plain that the woman died first, that the point was there settled, and the action of the county court today was in accordance with that decision. Just prior to the double tragedy Cook had been working in town, and the wife who had been staying on the homestead, came in to visit her husband; they were out for a walk in the evening, and cook, fired by some form of jealousy, it is alleged, shot her and then himself. His parents came from Okla. and fought for possession of his property, which they now have. Cook, John John Cook - Colorado Republican - July 4, 1907 - John Cook, son of Congressman George W.

Cooley, Douglas Lee Douglas Lee Lee Douglas Cooley - Pueblo Chieftain - February 5, 2012 - Lee Douglas, longtime sportscaster, dies at 57 - Douglas Lee Cooley known to generations of Pueblo radio and television sports fans as broadcaster Lee Douglas died Saturday night at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital. He was 57. Cooley was sports director at KOAA News 5 at the time of his death. He was a well-known personality at local television and radio stations for the past 35 years. "We are all in shock," Greg Boyce, content director at News 5, said Sunday afternoon. "He was the nicest guy in the world." Boyce, a friend of Cooley's since elementary school, said Cooley was supposed to work his sports anchor job this weekend but went to the hospital on Saturday because he was feeling ill. Local television stations were reporting that Cooley died of kidney failure. Nick Donovan, another longtime radio personality and close friend of Cooley's, said the broadcaster drove himself to the hospital and was quickly put into intensive care. "It's hard to believe he's gone," Donovan said Sunday. Montgomery & Steward Funeral Directors is handling arrangements. A big, affable man who was known for his warm personality, Cooley was a music and sports enthusiast, especially when it came to Pueblo sports. Along with being a sports broadcaster at KOAA and KRDO-Channel 13 during his career, he was the radio voice of the Air Force Academy Falcon football team for years. "Lee worked hard over his career to become a great communicator and he was," Boyce said. "He really knew how to write and tell stories with pictures. If I ever went on a quiz show, I'd want Lee with me because he knew everything about sports and oldies (rock and roll)." Michael Langley, news director for News 5, said Cooley was as friendly in person as he seemed to viewers. "He was a consummate professional, but he had a gift for making people feel they'd known him all his life," Langley said. Cooley had numerous awards to his credit from the Colorado Broadcasters Association and The Associated Press. Readers of The Pueblo Chieftain named him the best broadcaster in Southern Colorado in 2006. Chieftain Managing Editor Steve Henson had known Cooley since both began their broadcasting careers in the 1970s. He said Cooley's pleasure in his work was genuine. "Just the other night, I was watching him on KOAA and remarked, 'Isn't it great that he's so enthusiastic after all these years?' Henson said. It's amazing to have someone so thrilled about local sports." Cooley was inducted into the Greater Pueblo Sports Association Hall of Fame in 2005. He left broadcasting for a short time in the 1980s to work as an assistant city manager. "Lee was a really capable guy who handled the public relations for City Council and the city," said former City Manager Lew Quigley. "He really did a lot for this community. This is such a shame." Cooley told Chieftain sports reporter Jeff Letofsky in a 2008 interview that he wanted to be a professional athlete as a boy "Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays" but realized he didn't have that kind of talent. So even as a young teenager, he started thinking about a sports broadcasting career, sometimes doing play-by-play into a tape recorder for neighborhood games. "I was infatuated with broadcasting," he explained. Becoming a radio disc jockey while still in college, Cooley adopted the broadcast name Lee Douglas. He understood that he was a popular local sports figure, but it was a recognition he carried gently. In that Chieftain interview, he said he'd learned to become comfortable with strangers at the grocery store or on the street treating him as an old friend. "I had a lady at Walmart tell me, 'You're like one of the family. You come into our house every evening'," Cooley recalled. "I never take myself too seriously. I'm not a doctor, lawyer, cop, or fireman," Cooley added. "I'm lucky. I have a job that pays me for what I'm doing and it's something that I love." Pueblo Chieftain - February 11, 2012 - Sportscaster laid to rest - Douglas Lee Cooley, the always-smiling sportscaster known to Southern Colorado viewers as Lee Douglas, was laid to rest Friday at Roselawn Cemetery About 500 friends came to Praise Assembly of God to remember his warmth and career. Cooley, 57, died Feb. 4 at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center of kidney failure. His death was so sudden and unexpected -- friends talked about having seen or spoken to him earlier in the day -- that there was still a tone of disbelief at Friday's funeral. "How many of you have asked yourself this week, why did this happen? How did this happen? And why to Lee?" the Rev. Brad Munroe asked mourners. It was a crowd filled with Cooley's friends, local officials and many from the news media -- especially his colleagues at KOAA-News 5, where he was sports director, and others from Southern Colorado who had known him during his more than 30 years in broadcasting. At the front of the sanctuary was Cooley's casket, with an Air Force Academy Falcon football helmet on one end and a Colorado State University-Pueblo Thunder Wolves helmet at the other. Next to it was one of his trademark Hawaiian shirts, a Centennial High School football jersey and a large color portrait of Cooley with his trademark grin. "I'll never forget that unbelievable smile," said Nick Donovan, a fellow broadcaster and Cooley's friend for 30 years. Speaking to the audience, he recounted Cooley's early life in Pueblo, his graduation from Centennial in 1973 and early broadcast years calling football games for then-University of Southern Colorado. Donovan had the audience laughing recalling how Cooley was once broadcasting the exciting run of a football player "he's at the 30, the 35, the 40 . . ." only to interrupt the action to shout that a bee was in the broadcast booth before resuming his call of the player's run for a touchdown. Donovan said he often teased his friend that he was such a kind person -- and unable to tell to a lie -- that Donovan had given him the nickname Richie Cunningham, after the leading character on the television show "Happy Days." If there is a recurring theme in stories about Cooley, it was his unshakable kindness. Donovan remembered when Cooley was working as a Colorado State Fair assistant manager and a gate employee asked him to temporarily watch his post. So Cooley agreed to step in and found himself stopping a motorcyclist from coming into the nightly concert. "So there was Doug, nicely telling this guy he didn't have the credentials to come in when the fellow finally said, 'Look, I'm (Kix) Brooks, of Brooks and Dunn, and if you don't let me in, there won't be a concert," Donovan said, smiling at the memory. The service included the memorial broadcast that KOAA played last weekend about Cooley's life. His colleagues at the station all called him a dear friend and true professional. Greg Boyce, content director at News 5, said in the broadcast that in the 50 years he'd known Cooley --starting in elementary school -- he'd never once heard him raise his voice in anger at anyone. "He was a good guy," Donovan said in closing and getting an ovation of agreement. Pueblo Chieftain - February 12, 2012 - A few comments on the sudden loss of friends - An unexpected and sudden death is difficult to comprehend. Recently, I have spent a lot of time thinking about the 1970s, drawn to that era because of the recent passing of two friends I became acquainted with decades ago. Two very different people -- Doug "Lee Douglas" Cooley and Joe Losavio -- passed away recently. Cooley died suddenly last weekend at a local hospital at the age of 57; Losavio, 74, died last month in a boating accident in Italy. Cooley and I were among a group of mass communication students at then-Southern Colorado State College, which became the University of Southern Colorado by the time we graduated (and, of course, today is Colorado State University-Pueblo). Each of us wanted to be broadcasters, and we studied under the likes of Don Wayne, Channel 5's "Captain 5" during the glory days of live, local broadcasting; J. Ralph Carter, of KDZA and KOAA-TV fame; and several other local broadcasters. We were kids in awe of our idols. Others in our group included Harv Holiday, Greg Boyce and Bob Campbell. Among other activities, we played intramural basketball together -- except for Harv, who was a stud, we were terrible -- and had overlapping disc jockey/news shifts at KTSC-FM, then located at the Hunter Building at Seventh Street and Santa Fe Avenue. The radio station then was so low-powered that my mom had to park across the street to hear my broadcasts. When not on the air, we staged bicycle-demolition races in the hallways and did other things, well, other things that college kids did and do. It was a great time. As we went off to work at different radio and/or TV stations, our friendships faded. But through the years, we have greeted each other warmly when we bumped into each other -- strong bonds formed in those college years. Cooley always was a ball of energy, so enthusiastic about local sports. And he was a genuinely nice man. That might seem like a simple statement, but think about it. Of the many people you know, how many could you sincerely define as a "genuinely nice man"? Well, he was, and he was special. Joe Losavio, to his friends, could be sweet and kind. Early on, he and I shared that kind of friendship. But once you got on Losavio's dark side, you had a formidable enemy. Losavio was district attorney when I was a young radio reporter, then later when I joined The Chieftain's staff. Besides occasionally crossing paths professionally, Losavio had a passion for sports, as did I. A group of us -- Len Gregory, my former boss, mentor and Chieftain managing editor; Losavio; myself; and Richard Martinez -- would get together on weekend mornings at Martinez's Sunset Park home to play tennis on his backyard court. That same group, along with numerous local attorneys and law enforcement types, also got together in the winter to play basketball. To put it charitably, Losavio was a great competitor but not a very good athlete. I always wondered why I had so many scratches on me after basketball games, then realized it was because he had clawed me under the boards. He was equally tenacious and untalented at tennis, but he enjoyed it and I enjoyed his company. Losavio's tenure as district attorney started off great, with his office joining forces with the Colorado Organized Crime Strike Force to clean up the Pueblo Police Department, where officers friendly to the mob were being promoted thanks to fixed civil service tests. But as time went on, Losavio misused the grand jury to indict numerous public officials in town -- county commissioners, the sheriff, the university president -- and most of the charges didn't stick. Actually, a special prosecutor was called to Pueblo in the middle of these matters, and Losavio himself was indicted. When the dust settled, none of the charges really amounted to much. However, the reputations of everyone involved -- Losavio included -- were tarnished and so, too, was Pueblo's reputation. And that's a big part of Losavio's legacy. The more that I and other reporters covered these developments, the more Losavio turned away from me and other journalists, believing that we were not fairly reporting on the district attorney's office's activities. It wasn't true. We were doing our jobs. Years later, long after having left the district attorney's office, Losavio and I made the peace. We worked on several stories together generated by his private law practice, and we at least became cordial. Losavio, who moved to Italy several years ago, was visiting in Pueblo last fall, and he stopped by the newspaper offices to see me. He spoke at great length about how he enjoyed being the "Italian gentleman," as he put it -- walking throughout the quaint town that had become his home, shopping at the market, talking politics and rowing his boat in Lake Como. After a life of turmoil, he was at peace, and that was nice to see. I know it's not politically correct in some Pueblo circles to admit a friendship with Losavio, but he was my friend. He was far from perfect, as am I, and he did things he shouldn't have done. But he still was my friend. Who among us is perfect? I join with those of you who knew Cooley and Losavio in mourning their loss. Cooley, Matilda B. Matilda B. Cooley Pueblo Chieftain - June 2, 1917 - The funeral of Mrs. Matilda Colley, wife of A. J.

Cooper, Charles Charles Cooper - Rocky Mountain News - August 8, 1889 - A Fatal Draught - An Ignorant and Insane Tramp Takes Morphine - Trinidad, Aug. 7 - Some time ago, a matter of two weeks or so, there was arrested on the charge of vagrancy a man who has been a familiar sight in the streets of Trinidad. When arrested it was under the name of Charles Cooper. The case against him was proven and he was sentenced to seven days. During the time that he was confined Jailer Caldwell thought he discovered signs of insanity in his charge. He was a kleptomaniac, going so far as to steal stockings off the feet of one of his sleeping companions in the jail. These and other indications led the jailer to bring about an examination as to the sanity of the prisoner, and an examination was to have been held today. While in confinement Harry Ambrest, who is well and unfavorably known here as a morphine fiend, was incarcerated in the same cell as Cooper, who, by the way, said that his proper name was Colton. Tuesday afternoon while Ambrest was asleep, Cooper or Colton went through Ambrest's pockets and found a vial of morphine, which is said to have contained about twenty-five grains of the drug. This Colton placed to his lips regardless of the label on the bottle telling the deadly contents. One of the jailers in his rounds was shown the empty bottle and informed of his act by Colton. Medical attendance was immediately summoned and all possible attention given the case. Attendants were by the side of the unconscious vagrant and idiot all night, and yesterday morning he seemed to respond to their attention by breathing freer. Notwithstanding, at about 2 o'clock he died. Official orders were given to remove the body to the undertaker's, where an inquest will be held on Thursday. The morphine fiend was ordered to help move the sick man while yet alive to the old county jail and during the process skipped out. The deceased was undoubtedly crazy and so illiterate a man that he was ignorant of what he was doing. Ambrest has since been apprehended and taken into custody. Cooper, Daniel H. Daniel H.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of 18 and found himself fighting the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. Wounded and sent home to recuperate in 1945, he fully expected to return to fight the Japanese after VE Day.

He was awarded the Purple Heart with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Bronze Star and the Good Conduct Medal, and the EAME Ribbon with three battle stars, for his military service. On his return to civilian life, Gordon made full use of the GI Bill and enrolled at Indiana University, where he obtained his law degree from Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. He moved his family to Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1962, where he began the practice of law. Soon he began commuting to Pueblo to work as a Pueblo County deputy district attorney under Carl Parlapiano. He moved his family to Pueblo in 1965.

He enjoyed all sports, especially college and pro football and college basketball. He was loyal to the Denver Broncos and to all sports played by his beloved Indiana University Hoosiers. Judge Cooper had high personal integrity and always strove to be just and fair. He defended the rights of all. He loved Pueblo and all it offered, and had a special love of Mexican food.

In 1945, the elder Cordova was one of 11 miners working underground when the mine began to cave in. "He was the lead man to get out, but instead of him running out, he helped all the other miners get out. He was trapped and the only one who died in the accident," Cordova said.

Cordova, who was 16 when his father died, made a promise to his grieving mother, Felicita Cordova-Solano, that he would never work in the mines.

Cornejo, Christina Christina Cornejo - Colorado Springs Gazette - July 18, 2012 - Murder victim was mother, National Guard officer - Springs murder suspect commits suicide in Utah - The 39-year-old woman found dead in southwest Colorado Springs on Friday was a mother of four and a 2nd lieutenant in the Colorado Army National Guard. Cristina Cornejo, a 13-year Colorado Springs resident, enlisted in the National Guard in June 2006 and juggled her pursuit of a full-time career as an officer while raising three sons and a daughter. Cornejo served as a career counselor with the Guard's Recruiting and Retention Battalion before attending the Officer Candidate School on Fort Carson, where she graduated in August 2010. She was promoted to 2nd lieutenant in 2011 and served with the 100th Missile Defense Brigade, receiving several honors. "Cristina was not only a stellar soldier, but a fantastic young leader who set high standards," Maj. Gen. H. Michael Edwards, commander of the Colorado National Guard, said in a statement on Tuesday. "Her contribution to the Colorado National Guard will be truly missed. We will do everything we can to support her family during this most difficult time." In the statement, the Colorado National Guard said it would "provide any assistance needed" in the ongoing investigation into Cornejo's death. Cornejo's body was found in the 1000 block of Cheyenne Villas Point near Fort Carson on Friday morning. Police and Fort Carson officers spent about four hours Friday searching for Brian Joseph Hedglin, 40, who Colorado Springs police spokeswoman Barbara Miller called the primary suspect in the death. Cornejo's death was ruled the 13th homicide in the city in 2012. Hedglin committed suicide Tuesday after attempting to steal a SkyWest plane from a St. George, Utah airport. Miller said Tuesday that detectives would continue to investigate Cornejo's death to tie up all the loose ends and make sure that (Hedglin) was indeed the person responsible. Memorial services will be Friday for Cornejo. There will be a visitation beginning at noon at the Cappadona Funeral Home, 1020 E. Fillmore St. The funeral will be at Cappadona at 1 p.m. with burial at 2 p.m. at Memorial Gardens, 3825 Airport Road. Pueblo Chieftain - July 16, 2012 - City's 13th Homicide Victim Identified - Colorado Springs Police have identified the city's 13th homicide victim of 2012 as Christina Cornejo, 39. Cornejo's body was found at a home on Cheyenne Villas Point on Friday. Pueblo Chieftain - July 17, 2012 - Colorado murder suspect tried to steal plane - Salt Lake City - A SkyWest Airlines employee wanted in a Colorado murder attempted to steal a passenger plane from a small southern Utah airport then shot himself in the head after crashing the aircraft in a nearby parking lot, officials said Tuesday. Brian Hedglin, 40, scaled a razor wire fence at the St. George Municipal Airport early Tuesday then boarded the 50-passenger SkyWest jet while the airport was closed, St. George city spokesman Marc Mortenson said. Mortenson said the man used a rug to scale the airport's security fence in the middle of the night, drove the plane past a terminal building, clipping the wing, then crashed into cars in an airport parking lot. The plane never left the ground. A police officer making rounds found the plane idling, boarded it and found Hedglin dead with a gunshot wound to his head, Mortenson said. Hedglin was wanted in connection with the death of Christina Cornejo, 39, in Colorado Springs. Her body was found Friday by police doing a welfare check at the request of her family. Her death has been ruled a homicide. The Gazette of Colorado Springs, citing court records, reported that Hedglin dated Cornejo for four years and was arrested in March after police say he had been harassing her. The newspaper said he was free on $10,000 bond when Cornejo was found dead. The Utah airport remained closed to commercial traffic as the FBI and the Transportation Security Administration investigated the incident. Skywest officials said there were no passengers aboard the CRJ200 and the plane was not in service at the time. In a statement, the airline would say only that the incident involved one of its employees who had been on administrative leave. A dozen flights leave or arrive at the St. George airport each weekday, according to the airport's website. Most run between southern Utah and Salt Lake City, with two flights connecting St. George and Los Angeles. Skywest said its passengers are having their itineraries rearranged. The CRJ200 made by Bombardier is capable of flying up to 534 mph with a range of 1,700 miles. Normally it has a two-person flight crew and a single flight attendant. Denver News Share - Brian Hedglin was wanted for questioning in the death of his former girlfriend, Christina Lopez-Cornejo, of Colorado Springs. Pilot Wanted In Homicide Takes Plane, Crashes, Commits Suicide - Brian Hedglin Was Wanted For Questioning In Death Of Colorado Springs Woman Denver Channel News Team - St. George, Utah - A commercial pilot wanted in a Colorado Springs murder case killed himself Tuesday after he stole a SkyWest jet and then crashed it at a Utah airport while trying to escape capture. Brian Hedglin, 40, a SkyWest pilot, was wanted for questioning in the death of his former girlfriend, Christina Lopez Cornejo, of Colorado Springs. Authorities said Hedglin drove his motorcycle to the St. George Municipal Airport in St. George, Utah around 12:30 a.m. local time, placed a rug over the razor wire fence, hopped over it and got on board a 50-passenger SkyWest Bombardier CRJ200 jet. Hedglin started the engines, apparently used thrust reversers to back up and began to taxi the plane. The left wing of the jet clipped the jet bridge and part of the terminal building when he tried to turn. The jet continued into a parking lot where it hit several vehicles before coming to rest on its collapsed nose gear. Part of the left wing had been sheared off when it contacted the terminal building. A security guard patrolling the area called SkyWest Airlines, and a SkyWest maintenance employee was able to shut down the engines from the outside, according to officials. The guard then boarded the plane and discovered Hedglin's body. He had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The plane never left the ground, authorities said. ABC News Photo - This photo, obtained by ABC News, shows the Skywest jet that was taken and crashed at St. George, Utah. The airport was closed at the time and the plane was not in service. Lopez Cornejo, 39, was found dead inside Hedglin's apartment last Friday in the 1000 block of Cheyenne Villas Point. She had been stabbed multiple times. Police had been called there at the request of a relative, who feared for the safety of Cornejo. Investigators immediately identified Hedglin as the primary suspect and had been actively searching for him since Friday, Colorado Springs police said. Detectives even contacted SkyWest to have them deactivate Hedglin's access cards in the event he showed up at the airport. 7 NEWS has confirmed that both Hedglin and Lopez Cornejo were members of the Colorado National Guard. Christina Lopez Cornejo was in the Colorado National Guard. She was a second lieutenant in the 100th Missile Defense Brigade and he was a specialist in food service, or a cook, said Capt. Darin Overstreet, with the Colorado National Guard. A Colorado Army National Guard news release issued Tuesday identified Hedglin as a food service specialist with The National Guard who has no specialized training, and who has not deployed. He enlisted in October 2008. Lopez Cornejo enlisted in April 2006 and was a soldier in good standing. "She was an outstanding new officer who had already made a significant impact on our organization," said Col. Gregory Bowen, commander of the 100th MDB. She will be greatly missed by her military family. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family." According to court records, Hedglin was arrested on March 11 for larceny, damaging property and crimes against a person, as related to a domestic violence case in Colorado Springs. Authorities are looking into why Hedglin went from Colorado Springs to Utah and how he got in the jet. He had an airline transport pilot rating, which meant that he was qualified to fly commercially as a captain. SkyWest said that he had been placed on administrative leave but did not say why. SkyWest is cooperating with the FBI, St. George Police, and the TSA in a joint investigation. The case has broad implications about airport and airplane security at U.S. airports. SkyWest spokeswoman Marissa Snow told the St. George Spectrum that all passengers who were traveling to or from St. George on SkyWest flights were directed to Cedar City, Utah during the airport's closure. They were then transported by ground to St. George. General aviation aircraft flights at the airport were not affected. SkyWest is a regional airline based in St. George that operates flights for United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, US Airways and Alaska Airlines, with a fleet of 314 aircraft.

He graduated from Trinidad High School, served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and after returning from the service, completed his education by graduating from Trinidad Junior College. He moved to Pueblo in 1950 and retired from the Pueblo Army Depot having worked as a Pershing missile electronics repairman. David taught his children to be hard and honest workers. He stressed the importance of having the right tools for the job. His tool for life was Jesus Christ and he let everyone around him know. He was not ashamed of the Gospel and never hesitated to share his testimony. David received his calling from God in the trenches of the South Pacific. After escaping death narrowly in numerous campaigns, and after two ships sank from underneath him and a plane he was riding in crashed, he promised he would dedicate his life to God's service. After he returned home, he fulfilled that commitment when he felt a calling to help the deaf community. In 1954, he held his first interpretive service and spent the rest of his life as a minister and friend to the deaf and blind. He also spent many years driving his truck with the famous "white box" on it, doing handyman jobs for many widows and others who needed help in the community. His favorite hobby was picking up everything from bolts to hubcaps which were considered his "precious metals" collection! Thanks to Joe, Tim and Brandon from Visiting Angels and to Sangre de Cristo Hospice for the care they gave David. A special thanks to Susie Correa for her immense help by being the family's eyes, ears and legs during the past year.

Another person was injured in the shooting. Police responded to the 1300 block of East Routt about 11:45 p.m. on a shots fired call and learned that two people had been shot. The victims were taken in private vehicles to local hospitals. The second victim, who has not been identified pending notification of family, was taken to Parkview Medical Center. The age, sex and condition of that victim still is unavailable, but the injuries were reported to be non-life threatening. Witnesses told police there had been a large gathering of people at 1331 E.

Caleb Cosby, 22, died from a gunshot wound to the torso at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center. The other victim, who was not identified, was treated at Parkview Medical Center for non life-threatening injuries, according to Pueblo police. Sgt. Ken Espinoza said what started as a small gathering at 1331 E. Routt Ave. grew and attracted more visitors. An argument between two groups escalated into a fistfight. A car window was broken during the fight, which led to gunfire erupting about 11:45 p.m. "Glass breaks and then they start shooting," said Espinoza. "That's only one side of the story. The other side of the story, we're still trying to find those people. They're doing a pretty good job of hiding from us." Neighbor George Norick said he was asleep at the time and was awakened by the gunfire. "There were quite a few shots. There was plenty of those," Norick said. "One of the guys must have been shot in front of the neighbor's house because that's where they were cleaning up blood." Part of Routt was closed throughout the day while officers searched for evidence and obtained a search warrant for the premises. Detectives retrieved bullets from a neighboring tree and had a ladder truck from the fire department respond to cut branches and provide access to a bullet lodged high in the tree.

Coton, Henry Henry Coton - Pueblo Chieftain April 1, 1919 Rescuers Reach Scene of Death Aguilar Mine Explosion Is Believed To Have Killed Thirteen Employees Trinidad, Colo., March 31 Eleven bodies, burned in some cases until identification was difficult, had been recovered late tonight from the Empire Mine of the Empire Coal Co., near Aguilar, where a gas explosion early today sent them to their doom without warning. Death apparently was instantaneous, the recovered bodies with one exception being found huddled together under piles of debris. Two other bodies have not been recovered. Grief stricken mothers, wives, and sisters who had waited anxiously at the mine entrance in the heavy rain throughout the day, aided in identification of the bodies as they were brought to the surface, one by one. The bodies were placed in a temporary morgue where the women relatives were permitted to assist in identification. Rescue parties are still at work in the mine and as soon as the other bodies are recovered an inquest will be held. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. One man, Mike Cozetti, apparently attempted to escape through an unused entrance to the mine but was overcome, and died when near escape. The identity of the two bodies remaining in the mine could not be established. Rescuers are continuing their search and hope to find the other bodies before morning. The identified dead are: Jack Futura, Fred Dussart, Abel Duran, Mike Cozetti, Mike Rossi, George Mavrogeorges, Joe Stradjet, George Fellis, Alfred Duhuart, Henry Coton, and John Lundquist. The rescuers were forced to remove piles of debris before the bodies could be recovered. They lay close together, badly burned and almost unrecognizable in some instances. A temporary morgue was established and plans made for holding an inquest as soon as the remaining two bodies have been recovered. Thirty-six men were in the mine when the explosion occurred, twenty-one escaping by an old entrance and two by the main shaft. The body of John Lundquist was recovered this afternoon. Of 36 men who were in the mine when the explosion occurred 23 made their way out in safety. The explosion, as indicated by conditions encountered by the rescue gangs, was confined to a small area of about 2,500 feet from the mouth of the mine. Wreckage at this depth barred the way of the helmet men but air conditions are good and the ventilating fan is working. It is feared, however, that the men caught in this part of the mine were killed instantly by the explosion or died soon after from the after damp which usually develops from an explosion of gas. Twenty-five years ago today the Empire had a similar explosion. Two men were killed and several injured.

Pueblo Chieftain - January 2, 1999 - Three Die in Shooting Rampage - Gunman Kills Woman, Her Father, Wounds Her Mother, Takes Own Life - Three people were killed and one critically injured Friday night in an apparent murder-suicide at a Pueblo South Side home. Police said a man went to 416 S. Prairie, the home of a 22-year-old woman that he knew; authorities were working to determine the nature of their relationship. There, he shot her visiting parents - the father died; the mother underwent surgery and was in critical condition at presstime - before fatally shooting the young woman, then taking his own life. Authorities would not release the names of the four pending notification of next of kin. They reportedly were Puebloans. The parents - each shot in the chest - fled to their daughter's next-door neighbor's home at 412 S. Prairie, where they collapsed. Meanwhile, the woman, 22, blocked herself in a room and telephoned "911" to summon help. Police believe the gunman broke into the room, shot the young woman and then himself. When the Pueblo police SWAT team entered the house, they found the bodies of the gunman and his victim. They were pronounced dead at the scene. The young woman's parents were rushed to St. Mary-Corwin hospital. The father, believed to be in his 50s, was pronounced dead on arrival; his wife, 45, was in critical but stable condition after surgery, according to hospital spokesman Larry Holdren. First-aid crews said it appeared the wounds were from a large-caliber handgun. Police were busy investigating and unavailable for much comment late Friday. Police Chief Jim Billings, who was at the scene, described the shootings as "a murder-suicide." He said his officers were working to determine the exact motive. Also late Friday, police were investigating reports that the young woman had a daughter who was not at the home when the shooting took place. The shooting occurred in one of Pueblo's older but quiet neighborhoods, directly across the streets from Washington Day Care Center (formerly Jefferson Elementary School). Nearby neighbors said they heard a single gunshot about 6:20 p.m. but when they went outside, the area was quiet. Not long after, police and rescue crews arrived at the scene. The SWAT team - unaware the man already had shot the young woman and himself - waited about 30 minutes before entering the house. Friday's murders came exactly three weeks after the murders of two other Puebloans. On Dec. 11, Julie Ann Padilla, 15, and Albert DeHerrera, 26, were found beaten to death in their respective homes. Police have said the killings were not related. There have been no arrests made in either case. Pueblo Chieftain - January 3, 1999 - Police ID Victims, Detail Shootings - Pueblo police on Saturday released the identities of the victims of the Friday night shooting rampage that left three people dead and a woman clinging to life. Police also identified the man they believe shot the victims before killing himself at the South Side home of his former girlfriend. Shawna Marie Thomas, 22, of 416 S. Prairie Ave., and her father, Richard Allen Thomas, 44, of 7 Purdue, both died Friday night. Ms. Thomas' stepmother, Alicia M. Walters, 45, also of 7 Purdue, was shot in the chest and underwent emergency surgery late Friday night at St. Mary-Corwin hospital. She was listed in critical but stable condition Saturday night, according to a hospital spokesman. Thomas Alan Courtney, 31, of 46 Briarwood Circle, was pronounced dead Friday night after shooting the three family members and then turning the .40-caliber pistol on himself. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said autopsies performed Saturday on Thomas, Ms. Thomas and Courtney confirmed that they died from gunshot wounds. Thomas died from a shot to the chest while Ms. Thomas and Courtney each died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Kramer said that results of toxicology tests, which would determine whether drugs or alcohol were in the systems of any of the deceased, will not be available until midweek. Police Sgt. Kim Wittrup said Thomas and Walters had gone to Ms. Thomas' home Friday evening to help her install electronic equipment she had received for Christmas when Courtney came to the house he had once shared with Ms. Thomas. Wittrup said it was only 4-6 weeks ago that Courtney had moved out of the house at 416 S. Prairie for unknown reasons. He said neighbors did not know if the two were still seeing each other. Sources said Courtney got off work at the Marriott Hotel, where he worked as a waiter, at about 5 p.m. Friday and went home before going to Ms. Thomas' home. At about 6:15 p.m., Courtney arrived at the house and knocked on the side kitchen door, located on the north side of the home. The elder Thomas answered the door and immediately was shot in the chest by Courtney. He then shot Walters in the chest before he entered the home. Thomas and Walters were able to run to a next-door neighbor's home, where they collapsed on the front yard, according to Wittrup. The residents at 412 S. Prairie took the two victims into their home until rescue personnel arrived. Thomas died from his injuries shortly after he arrived at St. Mary-Corwin hospital. Hearing the shots, Ms. Thomas ran to the bathroom and locked herself inside in an attempt to escape from Courtney, Wittrup said. While inside the bathroom, Ms. Thomas was able to call police on a cordless phone and tell dispatchers that somebody in her home had been shot. But before police could respond, Courtney shot at the doorknob and was able to get inside the bathroom. Police believe he then confronted Ms. Thomas and shot her once in the head. Shortly after that, he shot himself in the head. When police arrived at the home, which is located across the street from Washington Day Care Center (the former Jefferson Elementary School), they were told by neighbors that the gunman was still inside the house at 416 S. Prairie and that Ms. Thomas was possibly being held as a hostage. There also was concern for the welfare of Ms. Thomas' 3-year-old son, Michael Todd Rosendale. Initial reports that Ms. Thomas had a young daughter were incorrect. Wittrup said police later learned the boy was staying with his father in Denver. Police SWAT team members were called and they, along with several uniformed officers, surrounded the house. After breaking into the home, police found the bodies of Courtney and Ms. Thomas in the bathroom. They both were pronounced dead at the scene. Wittrup said a review of police records indicated that there had not been any previous incidents of domestic violence involving Courtney and Ms. Thomas. He said Courtney had previous brushes with the law, but would not say what those incidents were. "They were not domestic violence-related," he said. Records at the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department indicate that Courtney had been arrested and booked into county jail five times since 1991. In 1991, he was arrested for vehicular assault. His most recent arrest was in November 1997 for first-degree criminal trespass, a felony. The other three arrests were for undisclosed traffic-related violations. As court records are unavailable on weekends, it was not possible to determine if Courtney actually was charged in any of the five arrests. And police refused to release details of any of the incidents or Courtney's status with the courts at the time of his death. Pueblo Chieftain - January 3, 1999 - Victims Well-Known in Pueblo - Richard Thomas Jr. was making a new life for himself at the time of his death, relatives say. Thomas and his daughter, Shawna, were shot to death Friday night by Shawna's former boyfriend, Thomas Courtney. Thomas' wife, Alicia Walters, also was shot. She was in critical but stable condition Saturday night at St. Mary-Corwin hospital. Thomas, 44, who had always loved working with computers, graduated from Denver Technical College three months ago with a degree in computer science. He then went to work for Gateway Computer Corp. in Colorado Springs, where he was employed as a computer hardware engineer, commuting from his Pueblo home. The night he was killed, Thomas had gone to his daughter's home at 416 S. Prairie to help her install new home audio equipment she'd received for Christmas. Alicia Walters, 45, Rick's wife, was a 1971 graduate of Pueblo's East High School. She owned and operated a medical transcription service. Shawna Thomas was the great-granddaughter of Helen and the late Tony Ianne, patriarch of several Pueblo restaurants. A 1995 graduate of Central High School, Shawna had worked at Rosario's, one of the family's restaurants. At the time of her death, she was employed by Pueblo Community Health Centers. Her father also worked for many years at Ianne's Pizzeria on Northern Avenue, a still-successful Pueblo fixture for more than 50 years. In a 1989 Chieftain article about the Ianne family, Rick Thomas noted how he had worked at the pizzeria since grade school: "My grandpa (Tony Ianne) put me to work here when I was 12 years old, putting stickers on the cellophane we used to wrap the pizzas we sold in the stores. He paid me 50 cents an hour and I thought I was in the chips. I've been here pretty much every since." Michael Todd Rosendale, Shawna's 3-year-old son, was with his father, Michael Rosendale of Denver, at the time of the slayings. Thomas "Tom" Alan Courtney, 31, had recently started working as a waiter at the Marriott Hotel, and previously had worked at Rosario's and Ianne's Whiskey Ridge, another family restaurant. Marriott officials declined Saturday to comment on his work record or say how long he had been employed there. Courtney graduated in 1986 from South High School and had attended the University of Southern Colorado. He is survived by his mother, Frances Courtney, a longtime and very popular starter-ranger at the Pueblo City Park Golf Course; and two brothers. George McCarthy Funeral Home is handling arrangements for all three victims. Pueblo Chieftain - January 7, 1999 - Killer of 2 Drunk at Time of Murders - The gunman in the New Year's Day double homicide/suicide was extremely intoxicated at the time of the shootings, Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said Wednesday. Kramer said Thomas Courtney, 31, had more than three times the amount of alcohol in his system than the level at which state law considers a person to be under the influence. "He had an elevated blood alcohol content level," Kramer said. The coroner said the level of alcohol in Courtney's system exceeded .3 percent; .1 percent is considered under the influence. Courtney went on a shooting rampage Jan. 1 at the home of his former girlfriend, Shawna Marie Thomas, 22, of 416 S. Prairie. Ms. Thomas and her father, Richard Allen Thomas, 44, were shot by Courtney and died at the scene. Thomas' wife, Alicia M. Walters, 45, also was shot in the chest, but survived and is being treated at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital. Funeral services for the father and daughter victims were held Wednesday. Courtney was buried on Tuesday. Kramer said toxicology tests on the shooting victims were not performed because there was no indication that drugs or alcohol contributed to their deaths.

Cowan, William William Cowan Pueblo Chieftain February 11, 1918 Hero of Fountain Explosion in 1888 Is Dead in Pueblo On the morning of May 14, 1888, the town of Fountain, 30 miles north of Pueblo, was almost completely destroyed by an explosion of a car of dynamite that had broken loose from a Santa Fe train at Colorado Springs and ran downhill toward Pueblo. At Fountain the car ran into the engine of the passenger train and the explosion resulted. Five lives were lost and 50 houses razed by the shock. One of the heroes of the disaster died in Pueblo yesterday. He was William Cowan, age 77 years, and was an engineer on the passenger train. He was watering his engine when the train stopped at Fountain. Suddenly he saw the taillights of the caboose and the approaching car of dynamite. He quickly warned the passengers of the danger and by a miracle none on board the passenger train were killed though they were badly shaken up. It was the quick wit of the engineer that saved possibly 100 lives. Mr. Cowan was born in Fairyhill, England, January 4, 1811. He came to Pueblo in 1881 and was for a number of years in the employ of the Santa Fe Railroad. For 24 years he was caretaker at the Centennial High School and the Centennial Annex.

Cowen, William William Cowen Pueblo Chieftain February 11, 1918 Hero of Fountain Explosion in 1888 Is Dead in Pueblo On the morning of May 14, 1888, the town of Fountain, 30 miles north of Pueblo, was almost completely destroyed by an explosion of a car of dynamite that had broken loose from a Santa Fe train at Colorado Springs and ran down hill toward Pueblo. At Fountain the car ran into the engine of a passenger train and the explosion resulted. Five lives were lost and fifty houses were razed by the shock. One of the heroes of the disaster died in Pueblo yesterday. He was William Cowen, age 77 years, and was engineer on the passenger train. He was oiling his engine when the train stopped at Fountain. Suddenly he saw the tail lights of the caboose and the approaching car of dynamite. He quickly warned the passengers of the danger and by a miracle none on board the passenger train were killed tho they were badly shaken up. It was the quick wit of the engineer that saved possibly a hundred lives. Mr. Cowen was born in Fairyhill, England, January 4, 1841. He came to Pueblo in 1881 and was for a number of years in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad. For twenty-four years he was caretaker at the Centennial high school and the Centennial annex. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Margaret Collins, 210 Jackson street, and a son John Thomas in England. He had been ill three months. The body is being cared for by the McCarthy Undertaking company and the funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the McCarthy funeral chapel.

Cowing - Huerfano Journal - November 21, 2012 - Article by Nancy Christofferson - Frederick E. Cowing died 62 years ago this week. Besides being an early county official, Cowing was a successful businessman, stockraiser and loyal member of the Masonic Lodge. Cowing was born in 1856 in New York, and in 1883 was married to Susan Evans in Ohio. There is some discrepancy about just when the Cowing family arrived in Walsenburg. A biography of F.E. in 1948 says it was 1879, so we will accept that date. This biography also says that, after returning to Ohio for his wedding, he moved to the Gardner area and took up raising sheep and opened a store. His partner in this enterprise was Louis C. DeCamp, county clerk and recorder of the time. Cowing became deputy clerk in 1882. It appears Cowing stayed in the upper Huerfano Valley until 1889, when he returned to Walsenburg and went into the feed and grocery business with J.R. Canon. What relation, if any, J.R. was to pioneer Benton Canon is unknown. The 1885 census shows F.E., 29, ranchman, and S.J., 27, wife, living west of Gardner near the Watkins clan. Cowing was back in Walsenburg by July 1889 busily building a feed store in the Captain Hendren block. It was on Fifth Street, and the store measured 25 by 60 feet large for the time. That 1948 biography states the site was where Unfug and Peet had their mortuary at the time, which was 115 East Fifth. Later in August he and Canon added the grocery department. Cowing and Canon soon moved to a new location on Main Street, in what was called the Walsen block. Fred Walsen had started a new bank and built four stores alongside in 1889, an expenditure of $8,000. The bank was on the corner of Main and Fifth streets, and the stores, lined up to its south, were initially occupied by Peter Krier's shoe shop, J.B. Johnson the jeweler, Cowing and Canon and the post office. Cowing is credited with beginning the store that became known as the Star Grocery, so his store was at 507 Main. Competitors in 1889 included M.L. Swift, the Unfug brothers and the Jellisons. The town also had several meat markets, bakeries and confectioneries. In 1890 there is a mention of the Cowing store on Capitol Hill being the agent for La Veta flour, so he may have had another outlet farther north. That year he'd built a picturesque home at 418 Kansas Avenue. Cowing converted his and Canon's first store, on East Fifth, into a grain warehouse. They placed the doorway along the alley so that patrons could drive their wagons inside without blocking the street. In 1898 Cowing enlarged his Main Street store when he moved into the neighboring building by having an archway cut out between the two store spaces. Whether Cowing was reticent or merely did not need the business, he consistently managed to stay out of the Walsenburg business directories until 1901, when his listing claimed he was serving as mayor. Actually, he had been mayor in 1894-96, and was a town trustee in 1901, having been first elected in 1899. He held this position until 1905. Another business listing in 1901 was for S.E. Cowing, hay, grain, feed and groceries. The only S.E. was Mrs. Cowing, Susan. Cowing, in addition, was elected to the Walsenburg School District No. 4 Board of Education in 1897. F.E. and Susan had five children. Their sons were Maurice E., born in 1887, and Frederick E. Jr., born in 1903. The latter died at age 18, while Maurice, instead of following his father into the grocery business, went to work for the First National Bank where he worked his way up to head cashier by 1930. He was also a director of the institution from around 1909 until his death in 1950. The couple's daughters were Clara, Ruth and Eleanor. Clara married Ward Thornton in 1916 and died in 1967 in California. Ruth married Welling A. Sumner in 1910 when he was a lowly clerk for a coal mine. He improved his fortunes and became part owner of the Caliente Fuel Company which owned the Ravenwood and Maitland mines. Welling died in 1935 and Ruth in 1978. The couple had had two children who had both predeceased them. Eleanor married Ford Frick in 1916. He, too, was a clerk for a coal mine, Cameron, but was also a coach at Huerfano County High School. From Walsenburg he ascended a career ladder that included radio sportscasts and sports writing that attracted the attention of William Randolph Hearst. From the newspaper business he moved to being a public relations director for baseball's National League, and later the same year, 1934, he became league president and served as such until 1951. From 1965-68, he was Major League Baseball Commissioner. After helping to establish the Baseball Hall of Fame, he was named to it in 1970. The Ford Frick Award goes annually to major contributions to baseball. He died in 1978. He so overshadowed his wife she is never mentioned in his biographies. From the Walsenburg newspapers, however, it is known the couple returned almost annually to visit Eleanor's family. In 1919 Cowing sold his grocery business to John Foley and William McPhail, who renamed it Star Grocery. They also remodeled the premises by installing new windows on the front. McPhail soon sold out his interest and, after a disastrous fire several remodelings inside and out, Foley sold Star Grocery to Nick Magnone and Paul Riccatone in 1940. Riccatone dropped out and Nick was joined by his son Charles Magnone until they sold to Darwin Smallwood in 1966. The grocery closed soon after that. Maurice E. Cowing Jr., son of M.E. Sr. and May, died in 1964 and his widow Millie sold their home in Walsenburg and moved away. And that ended the Cowing influence and activity in Walsenburg, after three quarters of a century.

Mr. Cowles was 54 years old, and spent the greater portion of his life in Pueblo, taking a prominent part in the civic affairs of the small but growing town immediately after coming here and continued to rise in prominence and esteem ever after. He was born in Missouri April 3, 1883, but his parents came to Colorado shortly afterwards. At the age of 20 years, young Cowles came to Pueblo, having lived previously at Las Animas and Trinidad. Shortly after coming to Pueblo he was chosen the candidate of the young men of the city for the office of justice of the peace and ran against Col. George T. Breed and was elected after one of the hottest elections ever held in the city, by a margin of three votes. He held the office for three consecutive terms. After studying law in the offices of Pitkin and Richmond, he was admitted to the bar in 1890 and thereafter began to make a name for himself as one of the ablest lawyers in the state. Not only was he an excellent lawyer, but was an excellent public speaker as well, and he became famous as an orator. For fifteen years prior to 1911 he was in partnership with C. B. Hughes, District Attorney, in the law business. In his younger days he was prominent in all of the activities of the young men of the city and was a good baseball player, a member of the volunteer fire department and for a time was foreman of the hook and ladder truck better known as the "Richmond Hooks." The team took many prizes in competition with other volunteer departments throughout the state. For many years he served as deputy county treasurer and then as deputy county assessor. He was a member of the Southern Colorado Pioneers' Association and at one time president of the society. Prominent in Elk circles, he filled most of the offices in the local lodge and was for one term exalted ruler, a position which he held with much ability. In 1911 he married Miss Ella Crows, who survives him. He is also survived by a brother, Charles W. Cowles of New York City. For several years he has been attorney for the north side water works.

(Mrs.) Mrs. F. W. Cozad - Pueblo Chieftain - March 5, 1917 - Dies in Iowa - Mrs. F. W. Cozad Stricken as She Prepares Meal for party for Husband - Word has just been received here of the death in Newton, Indiana, of Mrs. F. W. Cozad, until ten years ago a resident of Pueblo, and widely known in this city in social and philanthropic circles. Mrs. Cozad was the widow of Frederick Wormley, who, until his death here, was manager of the Union Depot Hotel for a period of 18 years. Mrs. Cozad was 83 years old and was preparing for a dinner in celebration of the ninetieth birthday of her husband when stricken. Altho suffering with a slight cold she refused to postpone the celebration, against the advices of friends. On the day before the dinner was to be held she was taken ill and died at noon the day following - the hour the feast was to have been placed on the table. Mrs. Cozad was a resident of Pueblo for 18 years and had a host of friends in this city who will be grieved to hear of her sudden death. Cozetti, Mike Mike Cozetti - Pueblo Chieftain April 1, 1919 Rescuers Reach Scene of Death Aguilar Mine Explosion Is Believed To Have Killed Thirteen Employees Trinidad, Colo., March 31 Eleven bodies, burned in some cases until identification was difficult, had been recovered late tonight from the Empire Mine of the Empire Coal Co., near Aguilar, where a gas explosion early today sent them to their doom without warning. Death apparently was instantaneous, the recovered bodies with one exception being found huddled together under piles of debris. Two other bodies have not been recovered. Grief stricken mothers, wives, and sisters who had waited anxiously at the mine entrance in the heavy rain throughout the day, aided in identification of the bodies as they were brought to the surface, one by one. The bodies were placed in a temporary morgue where the women relatives were permitted to assist in identification. Rescue parties are still at work in the mine and as soon as the other bodies are recovered an inquest will be held. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. One man, Mike Cozetti, apparently attempted to escape through an unused entrance to the mine but was overcome, and died when near escape. The identity of the two bodies remaining in the mine could not be established. Rescuers are continuing their search and hope to find the other bodies before morning. The identified dead are: Jack Futura, Fred Dussart, Abel Duran, Mike Cozetti, Mike Rossi, George Mavrogeorges, Joe Stradjet, George Fellis, Alfred Duhuart, Henry Coton, and John Lundquist. The rescuers were forced to remove piles of debris before the bodies could be recovered. They lay close together, badly burned and almost unrecognizable in some instances. A temporary morgue was established and plans made for holding an inquest as soon as the remaining two bodies have been recovered. Thirty-six men were in the mine when the explosion occurred, twenty-one escaping by an old entrance and two by the main shaft. The body of John Lundquist was recovered this afternoon. Of 36 men who were in the mine when the explosion occurred 23 made their way out in safety. The explosion, as indicated by conditions encountered by the rescue gangs, was confined to a small area of about 2,500 feet from the mouth of the mine. Wreckage at this depth barred the way of the helmet men but air conditions are good and the ventilating fan is working. It is feared, however, that the men caught in this part of the mine were killed instantly by the explosion or died soon after from the after damp which usually develops from an explosion of gas. Twenty-five years ago today the Empire had a similar explosion. Two men were killed and several injured.

Pete and Betty were married Nov. 12, 1941. They built their home and life together on the St. Charles Mesa, where they farmed and raised their children. Pete and Betty owned and operated Artichoke's restaurant and lounge for 30 years. Betty enjoyed traveling, baking, ceramics, the Broncos, watching her softball teams play. Most of all, she loved bingo, cards and family gatherings. She was always ready to go gambling with Rose, Carm, Mike and Katie. Even in her last few years if her son, Petie (Francine), would mention Cripple Creek, there would be no way to back out of taking her. She enjoyed pulling the slot handle so much her hands would be black. I would drop her off at the top of the hill and park the car toward the bottom so she could go to all the casinos. If she were to lose some money, we would have to move to the next casino. She always wanted to win. We would call her Bingo Betty for years. We even teased her that bingo at 6 was like punching a time clock. So much to say about her life, not enough space in the world could begin to tell everyone about the life and legacy of Elizabeth Horvat Cozzolino. She enjoyed her family to the fullest, always taking care of us, embedded in our souls for all eternity. I would like to thank my daughter, Doreen, for the kindness and care she gave her grandmother; her children, Darryl and Tony and their girls, Liz and Michelle; Joey Copp, for all the jazzy rides he went on with my mother; son-in-law, Rodney, for all the football games he watched with Grams; Rick, for always bringing my mom some kind of trinket she enjoyed; and to Bunny and Mimi, for being such great friends.

Crandall Pueblo Chieftain April 2, 1918 Military Funeral for Miss Crandall Word received in this city yesterday is to the effect that the body of Miss Marian G. Crandall, sister of Mrs. Richard M. Green of this city, who was killed last Wednesday night by the explosion of a German shell while she was serving as a Red Cross nurse at St. Menehould, was interred with full military honors. The casket containing the body of the brave woman was draped with the French tri-color, and a French Army chaplain who conducted burial services said, "She came to work for the soldiers, and she died like a soldier." The death of Miss Crandall occurred during the German bombardment of the town of St. Menehould. Miss Crandall had just returned to her quarters from the soldiers' canteen across the street where she had gone to volunteer her services, when a German shell crashed through the room and exploded. Miss Crandall was struck in the face and head by fragments of the exploding shell, and died in the hospital a few minutes after sustaining the injuries. Memorial services for Miss Crandall were held in the American church in Paris day before yesterday (Easter Sunday) and were largely attended by members of the YMCA, Red Cross, and other Americans.

"Jerry" Crane - Pueblo Chieftain - June 2, 2010 - Memorial planned for civic leader: Jerry Crane was worldwide traveler, but loved Pueblo most - Jerry Crane loved to travel. By his own count, he had visited 61 countries. But at the end of each trip, he loved returning to Pueblo. "He just loved this town," a daughter, Leslie Biggs, said of the longtime commercial property developer who over the years headed many of Pueblo's top civic and business groups. Crane, 78, died Sunday at his home from a suspected heart attack, family members said Tuesday. He is survived by several children and other relatives. His wife, Sue, died in 2008. A public memorial service is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday at Pueblo Convention Center, according to Montgomery & Steward Funeral Directors, which is handling funeral arrangements. A full obituary is set to run Thursday in The Pueblo Chieftain. Crane was a founding member of the Pueblo Economic Development Corp. and a past president of the Pueblo Symphony and Pueblo Rotary 43, among other civic and business groups. He donated money and time to promoting Pueblo Memorial Airport and supported other public ventures, including the building of police and fire stations and an expanded convention center. He was as active as ever in recent months. In January, he launched his latest commercial project: a 10-acre retail and office pad site adjacent to the U.S. Postal Service off Club Manor Drive. Earlier this month, he joined with fellow members of Pueblo Rotary 43 in staging the second Wild Wild West Festival duck race fundraiser. And this week, he was planning to go on a cruise to China, the latest in his life of travel adventures, family members said. Yet, he always was as eager to get back to Pueblo, they said. "He said there was no place he would rather live. He traveled all over this world and loved travel, but he was perfectly happy here and just loved it," said Ms. Biggs, who lives in Pueblo. As a developer, Crane launched commercial projects across the city, including the Galleria shopping center at Fortino Boulevard and U.S. 50. "Everywhere I look in Pueblo reminds me of something about him," Ms. Biggs said. "He was just really involved and he cared about the city." Crane first came to Pueblo in the late 1960s to work for The Leach Co., family members said. A native of Detroit, he had relocated to Denver in 1960 and then made the move to Pueblo. His travel interests extended to sailing and later in life, he bought one of the area's first two-seater Smart cars for highway trips. "He loved sailing. He owned a sailboat at Pueblo Reservoir for 30 years and one out in San Diego," said a son, Paul Crane, who lives in Boulder. Crane's development company will continue under the guidance of his daughter, Leslie, who has worked for the company for more than a decade, family members said.

Crane, Leroy A. (Col.) Col. Leroy A. Crane - Pueblo Chieftain - July 2, 1917 - L. A. Crane Well Known Pueblo Lawyer is Dead - L. A. Crane, age 77 years, well-known Pueblo attorney, died yesterday morning at 2:30 o'clock, at the family residence 316 West Tenth Street. Col. Crane had been in declining health for some time and was almost totally blind. He appeared to be in his usual health Saturday but early Sunday morning he complained of a slight pain in his stomach and died as his wife was administering his medicine. Mr. Crane was born in Michigan on the seventeenth of April 1849. His parents removed to Iowa in 1854. Here he was liberally educated, and later graduated from a law school in Chicago and was entered to the bar for practice in law at Dubuque, Iowa. At the outbreak of the Civil War he entered the government military service as a first lieutenant. He was soon promoted to a captaincy, by virtue of his bravery as a soldier, and when his lieutenant-colonel was killed in action in 1864, he served as acting colonel until the end of his enlistment in November of the same year. While in the military service he saw much active fighting, having served at Fort Donelson and Shiloh, besides taking part in other engagements. He was known as a strict disciplinarian, yet a kind officer. Altho gallant and intrepid as a soldier he preferred the peace and domestic quietude in pursuit of the law to the excitement of war. In October, 1864, a part of the command to which he was attached was surprised and overpowered in northern Alabama and captured. As a result of his capture, he was confined in Libby and afterward in Andersonville prison. About the time his term of enlistment expired he was released from prison and returned to the north. While on a furlough in 1863 he visited the home of his youth at Otsego, Michigan. There he met Miss Carrie M. Hall whose father many years after the departure of the Cranes from Michigan had bought the Crane homestead. At the expiration of his furlough he returned to his command with her promise to marry him. After his release from Andersonville and after his mustering out in November, 1864, he again visited Michigan and on March 10, 1865, at the old homestead where he was born, he was married. With his wife he settled in Des Moines, Iowa, and formed a partnership with his brother-in-law under the firm name of Holmes & Crane when he enjoyed a successful practice at the bar. The health of one member of his family compelled him to seek another climate and he, thereupon removed in 1878 to Decatur, Texas. He remained there until the year 1888 when he made his final change of residence, coming to Pueblo at that time. Here he formed a partnership with ex-Attorney General D. F. Urmy and the firm was recognized as one of the strongest and most reliable in the city and southern Colorado. Besides his wife, Mrs. Carrie M. Crane, he is survived by three sons, William M. Crane of Debs, Colo., Daniel A. Crane of Pueblo, Colo., and Dr. Roy M. Crane of Denver, Colo., and by two daughters, Mrs. J. H. Scarles of Denver and Mrs. E. J. Wilson of Pueblo. Also he is survived by eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He leaves also two sisters, Mrs. C. P. Holmes and Mrs. A. B. Cox, both of Des Moines, Iowa, Miss L. S. Shaw, Mrs. Bert Calahan, and Mrs. Nellie Allen, all of Des Moines, Iowa, and Mrs. A. Freeman of Colorado Springs are nieces of Colonel Crane.

Creedon Chaffee County Democrat June 18, 1921 Pueblo Flood Victims Buried at This Place The bodies of Daniel Creedon, aged 24, and Charles Creedon, aged 22, the brothers who were lost in the Pueblo flood on the night of June 3rd, arrived in Buena Vista Thursday morning on Rio Grande No. 3 after being delayed a day by washouts near Alamosa. On the evening of June 3rd the young men were passengers on Rio Grande No. 3 when that train was caught in the avalanche of water which swept down upon Pueblo from broken reservoirs above the city. They were en-route to their home in Bingham, Utah, after a visit with their relatives in Colorado and during the latter part of May were the guests of their cousins, William and Jack Cogan, of Nathrop. The father, Michael Creedon, hurriedly left Bingham for Pueblo upon being notified that his sons were among the missing. The body of Dan was found in a short time, but a more extended search was required to locate the body of Charles. A double funeral was held here Thursday morning, Rev. Father Sisbert of St. Rose's Catholic church officiating. Interment occurred in the Buena Vista cemetery at the side of the mother who preceded her boys to the spirit land some years ago. The untimely death of these two young men is among the saddest of the many sad fatalities at Pueblo. Both of them intrepid, chivalrous lads, it may easily be assumed that they fought a game fight for life and answered the summons with a smile. Dan, the elder brother, was an active combatant with the American forces overseas. Note: Daniel and Charles Creedon were buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Buena Vista, Colorado. Creedon, Daniel E.

Paul Criswell Pueblo Chieftain - June 9, 1917 Pueblo's First Company of Guard Battalion Mustered Into Service Seventy-Two Men Take the Oath Amid Patriotic Demonstration Great enthusiasm, cheering and a general patriotic demonstration marked the mustering in of Pueblo's guard battalion last night. Over seventy men were present, practically all nationalities of Pueblo were represented, and all swore allegiance to the American flag The following is a list of those mustered in last night: Paul V. Criswell, 119 W. 4th Pueblo Chieftain - July 9, 1917 - Sergeant Criswell Visits Brother Lieut. Criswell - Sergeant George J. Criswell, assigned to the hospital corps of the 14th cavalry and stationed at Del Rio, Texas, is visiting his brother, Lieutenant Paul Criswell, who is an officer in the Pueblo battalion stationed at the fair grounds. "The Mexicans were never more friendly," states Criswell, "they visit the camp often and frequently bring small gifts to the officers. Many, who have been slightly injured come to the field hospital for treatment, and thereafter are staunch friends of the hospital privates." Sergeant Criswell is stationed at a desolate and isolated camp on the border, the nearest town being San Antonio, Texas, which is 165 miles to the east. El Paso, Texas, is 465 miles to the west, so the boys seldom see a city, Criswell states. He stopped off at Pueblo to visit his brother while on a 30 day furlough. He will continue to Langdon, Kansas, where his parents reside. Note: Paul V. Criswell is buried in Langdon Maple Hill Cemetery, Langdon, Reno County, Kansas. His tombstone states: Paul V.

Her own sufferings were born with true Christian fortitude and patience. Mrs. Crites was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Surviving Mrs. Crites are the following children: W. S. Crites of Avondale, Mrs. Joseph Brentlinger and Mrs. George W. Linck, both of this city; and the following grandchildren: Dora, George and Nellie Crites of Pueblo; Mrs. Frederick Ranken of Denver, Mrs. Roger McDonald of Cripple Creek, Colo.

Crooke - Rocky Mountain News - September 30, 1885 - A Victim of Insomnia - Dr. Crooke Who Died in Pueblo Monday Night - Dr. J. Crooke, who died of a wound inflicted by a pistol in his own hands in the Victoria hotel, Pueblo, on Monday night, came to Denver on the Burlington express, which arrived at 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, September 6. Several prominent residents of Denver came through from Chicago in the same sleeping car with the doctor, all who formed his acquaintance liked him greatly. The reports concerning his death say that he stayed in the Pueblo ten days and was drinking heavily during a great part of his sojourn there. He showed no signs of being addicted to drink on the way from Chicago to Denver or during his subsequent stay of several days in this city. To some of his fellow passengers he said that his home was in Australia - most probably in Melbourne - and he was on his way thither. He was an Englishman by birth and was a finely educated and polished gentleman. There is strong reason to believe that he was wholly out of his mind when the fatal shot was fired. On the way from Chicago he told one of his fellow travelers that he had suffered fearfully from insomnia for years, and had reached that dreadful stage of the disorder when drugs had lost their power to afford relief. If he drank heavily in Pueblo it is probable that he did so to lesson the long agony of sleeplessness, or else that his nervous system had become so deranged by his disease that he did not know what he was doing. He spoke of having a wife and two young children, to whom he was greatly attached. They are supposed to be in Australia. He seems to have left no papers of any kind to identify him, and his remains are in the hands of Undertaker Sweeney, of Pueblo, Colo., awaiting a claimant. He brought a letter of introduction to a gentleman in Denver, which may be the means of informing his relatives of his sad and untimely fate.

Crow, former pioneer Puebloan, and widely known in the San Juan County, died Friday morning at his home in Danville, Kentucky, announcement of his death being received here in a telegram to E. R. Chew from George D. Crow, nephew of Matthew D. Crow. Mr. Chew was a former business partner of Matthew D. Crow. "Matt" Crow, as he was known to his friends, was one of the most popular men in the pioneer days in southern Colo. In the 70's he was in Pueblo and was also at that time actively engaged in mining in the San Juan district, spending much of his time in the San Juan and being active in the early development of that district. He made Pueblo his permanent residence in the 80's and engaged in the real estate and insurance business here forming a partnership with E. R. Chew. During the administration of Pres. Cleveland, Mr. Crowe was postmaster at Pueblo, serving four years and making one of the most popular postmasters the city ever had.

In 1893 Mr. Crow left Pueblo and return to Danville, Kentucky, where he was born and reared. He has resided continuously at Danville since leaving Pueblo in 1893.

Crowe New York Times - August 30, 1918 - Hit Depth Bomb on Chaser - Explosion Quickly Sealed her Fate - Brooklyn Boys Among Missing - Washington, Aug. 29 - Lieutenant Henry J. Bowes, commanding officer; Ensign G. H. Randolph, executive officer, and fourteen enlisted men are still missing from the submarine chaser 209, which was mistaken for an enemy submarine and sent to the bottom by the American steamer Felix Taussig off Fire Island on Aug. 27. Lieutenant Bowes's home was at Merchantville, N.J. No address for Ensign Randolph is given in department records. Following are the missing enlisted men: Crowe, Collins A., machinist's mate, Valencia and 7th Sts., Los Angeles, Cal.; Denney, Harry S., gunner's mate, 1,703 South 2d St., Philadelphia; Groves, Gordon J., seaman, 421 Queen St., Alexandria, Va.; Gunderman, George C., Jr., hospital apprentice, 2,246 82d St., Brooklyn, N.Y.; Hasinger, Richard C., quartermaster, 810 Pine St., Wilmington, Del.; Haskett, Leonard A., boatswain's mate, 801 Allison St., Philadelphia; Hodgson, Edwin F., fireman, Brazoria, Texas; Hullette, Frank R., cook, Atlantic City, N.J.; Keihn, Frederick W., machinist's mate, 2A Foxall St., Brooklyn, N.Y.; Patterson, Frank M., Jr., machinist's mate, 257 75th St., Brooklyn; Schroder, Casper G., cook, Morton, Penn.; Sheehan, Irwin J., oiler, 2,247 Pierce St., Philadelphia; Treacy, Timothy F., electrician, 419 Euclid Av., Indianapolis; Peverill, Harold, machinist's mate, Waterloo, Iowa. A report from the Captain of the Taussig reached the Navy Department today, showing that the little chaser went down ablaze three minutes after being hit by two of four shots from the merchantman's bow gun at a distance of 200 feet. According to the account of the Taussig's Captain, the gun crew opened fire when an object resembling a submarine appeared and crossed the steamer's bow without showing lights. Apparently one of the shots exploded a depth bomb on board the chaser, quickly ending her career. The Navy Department summary of the report of the Taussig's Captain follows: "The Captain of the steamship Felix Taussig reported that at 2:30 A.M. the lookout reported an object resembling a submarine about 200 feet away off the port beam. Orders for general alarm were given by the Captain. The craft sighted had no lights showing and was headed in the same direction as the Taussig. As she passed the steamship and crossed her bows four shots were fired from the forward gun of the Taussig. It was only after the third shot that the vessel showed lights, the report stated. Apparently two shots struck the submarine chaser and it is believed that one shot exploded a depth charge. The Taussig stopped to render assistance to the submarine chaser, which was burning, and which sank in about three minutes." Pueblo Chieftain September 1, 1918 Sisters Receive 2 Letters from a Missing Puebloan Two letters from Collins A. Crowe, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Crowe, reported among those missing when the submarine chaser No. 209 was accidentally shelled and sunk, August 27 off the coast of Fire Island by the S. S. Taussig, were received by the boy's sisters, Maude and Virginia yesterday morning. The letters were dated August 25 and were postmarked the day of the sinking of the ship, August 27 "It will take a long time for a letter to reach me," reads one of the letters received yesterday, "so I wish you would send your mail through the N.Y. post office, it ought to reach me sooner." He goes on to say that it will be a year on September 25 since he entered the navy, and that he thinks the war will soon be over and he wishes to be remembered "to all folks." That their son's name is still among those missing is the latest tidings received by Mr. and Mrs. Crowe from the Navy Dept. A second telegram came to the father, William J. Crowe, late Friday afternoon. It reads: "We deeply regret to inform you that the name of your son, Collins Alwyn Crowe, still appears in the list of missing of the submarine No. 209 which was shelled and sunk August 27 by the S. S. Felix Taussig having been mistaken by that vessel for an enemy submarine." Born and reared in Pueblo, Collins Crowe was known to a greater number of Puebloans than most of the Pueblo men in the service. He attended Centennial High School, the Benedictine College and business college before working at the C. F. & I. from where he went to enlist in the U. S. Navy, less than a year ago. He would have been 20 years of age on October 18.

Cullen, James Joseph III James Jim Joseph Cullen III - Pueblo Chieftain - September 30, 2010 - James Jim Joseph Cullen III went to the Lord on Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010, just the way he lived life, in control and making the decisions. With a Pepsi in one hand and his wife's hand in the other, Jim was surrounded by those he loved and those who loved him. Jim fought cancer as any brave Marine would, sacrificing his life to win the battle, never giving up. Jim was born in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Nov. 20, 1939, went around the world as a Marine and experienced countless adventures throughout his life before settling in Flagstaff to raise his family and develop a successful business that still is family-owned and run. He lived and breathed life to a standard only he could achieve, true to form of Semper Fidelis. As he lived, he passed along the secrets of life to those he knew would be raising his grandchildren his legacy with the understanding that money and power mean nothing and that good always triumphs over evil. As a savvy businessman with multiple projects across the United States and expanding beyond the borders, Jim's major concern was to take care of his wife and family. This legacy will live on for many years. Although he received many awards during his lifetime, it was the prestigious Legion of Honor Award from the Chapel of the Four Chaplin's and Marine of the Year Memorial Award he cherished the most, as well as his work with the Marine's Toys for Tots organization. Jim was a spiritual man and loving brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend and provider; he will be missed. Jim was preceded in death by his father, Jim. He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Mary Ann; and their four children, Jim, Kelly (Audrey), Tony (Michelle) and Kathleen (Earl); 10 siblings, Jerry, John, Kenneth, Enid, Mike, Pat, Chris, Mary Ann, Katie and Elizabeth; as well as his loving mother, Francis, whom he cherished the most. Jim also was a proud grandfather to Courtney, Kathleen, Caitlin, Sam, Ashley, Anthony, E.J., Keeley and Cullen; and great-grandfather to Makale and Noah. Jim's loyalty and friendship were unprecedented. If you knew Jim, you knew of his humor, integrity and willingness to give, both of which can be seen in those he called his friends and how he called them. Friends like Fat Joe, Speed Taylor and his confidante The G. B. always were scheming against each other, trying to gain the advantage to tell the unforgettable story. The challenge for us all will be to continue Jim's zest for life and willingness to put others' needs in front of our own to continue to build the community Jim was trying so hard to achieve. Semper Fidelis Marine Jim Cullen . . . Semper Fi. In lieu of sending flowers, please send a donation to Chase Bank account No. 2955786955 that will be given to Jim's favorite charities.

Cummings, James Elva James Elva Cummings Pueblo Chieftain May 22, 1919 4 Orphans of Soldier Father Taken From Half Crazed Mother Four little children, orphans of an American army soldier, the youngest 1 year old, and born since its father went to war, all in charge of a mother apparently deranged, locked in a house in this city and for the past three weeks kept most of the time in bed because the mother would not let them have their clothes. This is what Deputy Sheriff Delliquadri found yesterday morning at 107 Center street, having gone to the place on complaint of the neighbors who knew something of the unnatural conditions in the home of the widow of the former street car conductor who died of the influenza in a Florida training camp. The children were taken in charge by Humane Officer Art Allen and after being fed by Mrs. Delliquadri and Mrs. Mulvay, both of whom are neighbors of the Cummings family, were taken to the McClelland orphanage where for the time being they will be cared for at the expense of the county. The mother was taken to the county farm. Cummings is said to have been much worried by the queer actions of his wife for a considerable time, and finally enlisted in the army and took out the limit of soldier insurance, $10,000. Soon after his death occurred and had been properly certified, $75 per month, as per terms of the government insurance policy, began coming to the widow, and while the officer and those with him found plenty of food and clothing in the house, it was all locked up and the children had been given very little to eat and no clothes, so that they were obliged to remain in bed all the time nearly, and were not allowed out of the house which was kept locked by the mother. Pueblo Chieftain May 23, 1919 Declares She's Sane Mrs. Cummings, who yesterday was taken to the county farm and her four children to the McClelland orphanage by Deputy Sheriff Delliquadri, on order from county court, protests, it is said, that she is perfectly sane and wants to be released. She states to Superintendent John Wright that she has a $2,000 check from the Woodmen of the World in the house and wants to secure it, and take her children to her old home in Iowa. Mr. Wright, and also County Physician McGonigle tell Chairman Harbour of the board of commissioners, they can detect nothing wrong with the patient's mind. However, court officials who have acted under a complaint of insanity preferred by Officer Art Allen of the state society for the protection of children and animals, state that the matter will be given the regular attention in a legal manner. They aver that investigation shows that the children have been treated shamefully, and that but one of them is able to walk. Pueblo Chieftain June 10, 1919 Commission Decides Mrs. Cummings Sane Not insane was the decision of the lunacy commission which has been investigating the mental condition of Mrs. Margaret L. Cummings, who was several weeks ago taken from her home to the county farm and her four children to the McClelland orphanage. And the whole family has gone to the old home of Mrs. Cummings at Pleasantville, Iowa; this following a visit of a brother to Pueblo and a conference with Mrs. Cummings and the county court officials. It was decided that the brother shall be custodian of the estate, and that the children shall be taken in charge by various members of the mother's family in Iowa. She has several brothers and sisters and both parents residing there, and the hope is expressed that all will be well with the widow and her little ones who have had considerable trouble here. It will be remembered that on complaint of neighbors the house was officially entered and a very unsatisfactory state of affairs revealed. It was said that the children were not allowed out of the house and kept most of the time in bed; also that tho the house was well supplied with necessaries of all sorts, the children were said to be poorly nourished and clothed. The husband and father was in one of the army training camps, where he died of the influenza, leaving war insurance of $10,000, and also a W.O.W. policy for $2,000. The family was really in the hands of the county court under the widow's compensation act, so it was the court that was able to and did make arrangements which seem entirely satisfactory to all concerned.

Cummins, Leone Castleberry Leone (Castleberry) Cummins - Pueblo Chieftain - September 8, 1993 - Branson Pioneer Dies - When Leone Cummins was only 13, she was literally cranking out a Colorado newspaper by hand in the then-thriving town of Branson. It was 1920 and the heyday of the Homestead Acts that brought thousands to the arid land along the Santa Fe Trail Cutoff where Emory Gap offered entry to New Mexico. The girl, then Leone Castleberry, did virtually everything for the paper, which was started by her American Baptist minister father. "She cranked the press by hand, set type by hand, took money for want ads, rolled the papers up, addressed them and mailed them," her son Tom Cummins of Pueblo recalled Tuesday. Mrs. Cummins died Sunday in a Trinidad Nursing Home at age 86. Until last December, she had remained in her home in Branson. The Las Animas County News enjoyed a brief five-year life in Branson between 1920 and 1925, when she married Walter Cummins, a local rancher. In those days, Branson had a population of about 1,000, Tom Cummins said. "It had grain elevators and was a bustling community." And Walter Cummins and his three siblings each owned a full section. His brand was the OK and rodeos were regular events. Tom Cummins recalls that crowds of 400 or more would show up. "They had a corral but no chutes. So they'd get aboard in the corral, then turn them out onto the prairie. It was the same with the roping." But the good times would fade in the depression of the '30s. Cummins stopped trucking his cattle to Denver, the nearest sales yard when he couldn't get back the freight cost. "I have a 10-cent check that he never cashed, the net of one cattle sale." With cattle worth little or nothing, ranchers left them on the land to multiply and overgraze the prairie. Cummins had bought out his brothers and sisters and owned some six to eight square miles, when "he finally gave up." "The government had a program in the '30s. They'd buy your cattle and shoot 'em," Tom Cummins said. It was sad, he said. "It seems like that's your wealth." But even the Depression had its sweet side. "My mom had this big garden and even when they couldn't pay their bills, she had this cellar with rows and rows of fruit jars and sausages, hams." Mrs. Cummins sold cream for a family income of about $5 a week. In 1937 the couple moved into town and opened Walt's Trading Post, although Branson itself had declined. They operated the post until 1972. Funeral services for Mrs. Cummins will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at Branson Community Church followed by interment at Branson Community Cemetery. Cummins, Mr. Mr. Cummins - Rocky Mountain News - May 4, 1882 - The State at Large - Cummins, who recently died at the Clifton house in Pueblo from the effects of liquor, was for five years a captain in the army. Cundiff, Anna M. Anna M. Cundiff Pueblo Chieftain April 28, 1918 Suit over Property Husband of Dead Woman Sues Her Son for Possession of Farmland and Water Rights Suit to have a deed set aside was filed in the district court yesterday by William W. Cundiff against C. W. Scott and F. M. Borders. Cundiff alleges that he was the husband of Mrs. Anna M. Cundiff who died March 21, 1918, at their farm under the Huerfano Valley ditch in Pueblo County. He alleges that C. W. Scott, son of Mrs. Cundiff by a former marriage, filed a deed to 100 water shares in the Huerfano Valley ditch signed by Mrs. Cundiff on February 20, 1918. It is alleged that Scott afterwards sold the water shares to F. M. Borders. Cundiff alleges that the water shares were held in his wife's name but were their joint property and that she had made a deed conveying the shares to himself and Scott. He charges that his wife was ill and not capable of transacting business when she signed the deed to Scott and asked that the court set the deed aside and award him a half interest in the property. Hartman and Ballreich are attorneys for Cundiff.

The actions, looks, and words of a man enable us to read his true character. The unexpected death of A. A. Curtis last week removed from the Beulah community and the southern part of Colo. a citizen who possessed a personality reflecting long years of experience and a character built upon the principle of right living. Mr. Curtis came to this state in 1871. He arrived at Kit Carson, where the Santa Fe Railroad terminated, and accompanied by his two elder brothers, walked to Boone and later located in Canon City. Mr. Curtis was married to Margaret A. Mashburn, January 6, 1875, at Old Fort, North Carolina, and with his bride and his father and mother, Josiah and Carolina Curtis, he established a home on Beaver Creek, near Canon City. His parents spent the remainder of their lives there. Mr. A. A. Curtis freighted supplies from Canon City to Leadville and Fairplay during the early days of the gold excitement. In the year 1882 he moved his family to Beulah and located upon the site where the Curtis home stands today. Mr. Curtis was considered a high grade stockman. Especially was he referred to because of his excellent judgment of horses. In those days only a winding trail across the prairie and thousands of long-horned Texas cattle bearing the R. R. R. Brand, roamed the plains, forming the principal industry and among the far-apart neighbors of the Beulah district were the families of John L. Boggs, J. P. Murray, F. M. Berry, Gust E. Krenzke, and A. Q. Davis. At that time deer meat was obtained by Mr. Curtis by waiting near the soda springs where the deer came daily to drink. Mr. Curtis was an exemplary family man, providing well and granting to them all within his power to add to their comfort and happiness. He had intense love for the cedars and the natural grandeur of that region of indescribable beauty, which characterizes the mountains and valleys in that particular section of the Rocky Mountains termed the "Greenhorn Range." Mr. Curtis was a public spirited man and an inspiration and every improvement which has been promoted in Beulah district. He possessed a gentle love for his little children, music and flowers. His plans tended toward the beautifying of practical things and he was always ready to cooperate with those who were aiming toward the betterment of community conditions. He responded generously to those who were in distress and the state and community has suffered a great loss in his passing. The funeral services were held in the home he loved. The house sits in the midst of his ripening harvest fields. Many pioneers were present as well as a large number of neighbors and friends who respected and valued his friendship. Rev. Mr. Millsap, the M. E. Minister of Beulah, conducted the services. Mrs. J. Debbie McClinton and Mrs. Vincent Adams sang a duet, "Pilot of Galilee." Mrs. J. F. Keychain and Mrs. Whitlock assisted with the music. Mr. Curtis was tenderly laid to rest upon the slope of old Mount Signal where the pines waif their breath whispering hope and benediction upon that peaceful plot. Eastward lies the planes with her eternal promise of sunshine and shadow; westward frown the hooded caps of unmelting snow; toward the south Mt. Baldy rears his guardful strength into the drifting clouds, while towards the north nestles the village of Beulah and the clear rapid stream which gives sustenance to thirsty plant life far out on the scorched prairie. Augustus Adolphus Curtis was born August 5, 1850 at Marion, North Carolina, and died August 27, 1918 at Beulah, Colo. He was the father of six children: William Frank Curtis, who died in 1899; Sam T. Curtis of Olney Springs, Colo.; Jennie A. (Mrs. F. D. Keeney) of Hughson, Calif.; Elizabeth G. (Mrs. R. N. Fine) of Monte Vista, Colo.; Lela C. (Mrs. J. T. Murray) of Beulah, Colo.; Myrtle E. (Mrs. Q. C. Walker) of Beulah, Colo. Mr. Curtis has seven grandchildren and two brothers, Alexander Curtis of Denver, and Ephriam Curtis of Florence, Colo.

Entered into her heavenly rest, at an early hour yesterday morning, Mrs. Sarah D. Curtis, in the 84th year of her age, after a lingering illness covering a period of three years.

Curtis, there passed almost unnoticed from our midst one whose earlier years of life were closely identified with the social, moral, and religious life of our city in the days when these forces were struggling against frontier spirit of neglect of better things. Coming to Pueblo in the year 1893, merely for a visit and finding that industrial conditions caused hundreds of men to be unemployed she threw herself and her energies into a movement to house and help as far as possible the unemployed of this city. In the Board of Trade building she opened quarters where the needy could find shelter and help during these trying days, and every morning at her own expense kept open house for breakfast of coffee and rolls for such as were unable to provide for their own needs. To this she added four months of evangelistic effort for the religious welfare of these people, speaking every night herself and appealing to the men to live wholesome lives even if poor. Many men today date the change in their career to those meetings. The work was afterward placed under the care of the W. C. T. U. and ultimately developed into what is now known as the People's Mission of this city. For a while she was the president of the Central W. C. T. U. of Pueblo and was a staunch defender of the cause of temperance in many addresses throughout the state and in the organization of many unions. After a residence of the few years in Austin, Texas, with her son who was an instructor in the State University she returned to Pueblo in 1912, residing with her sister, Mrs. C. D. Olin. On January 14, 1915, she met with an accident, by which she fell and sustained a fracture of the hip, and was practically helpless until the day of her death, January 14, 1918. A lifelong member of the Methodist Church she devoted her 70 years of membership to faithful service in the faith she espoused in her girlhood days. She lived to see the worldwide prohibition an early probability. The funeral was held in the city January 16.
