Responding officers determined that the man had not fallen from a pickup truck but had been riding a bicycle and had been struck by a pickup truck. The victim was unconscious when police arrived and was transported to St. Thomas More Hospital in Canon City before being moved to Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs. "He remains in critical condition," Cox said. "He is a white male, estimated to be 30 to 40 years old with a medium build, brown hair and a goatee beard."

As a child, she enjoyed visits to the family farm in Clay County, Kan., and spending Christmases with her grandparents and cousins in Lincoln, Neb. Nancy graduated from Southwest High School in 1969 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1974. She married Robert A. Kellner in 1973 and had two children, Jim and Olivia. The family moved to Pueblo West, Colo., in 1980. Nancy was most proud of her role as a home-health nurse for the Pueblo City-County Health Department and St. Mary-Corwin Hospital. She was dedicated to providing comfort and care to her patients in their homes, and developed many special relationships with her patients and their families. Nancy earned a master's degree in public administration from the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs in 1990, and worked as a nurse manager at St. Thomas More Hospital in Canon City. She subsequently worked for the American Red Cross. In 2001, Nancy relocated to Fort Collins, where she continued nursing at Surgical Specialists of the Rockies.

Kelly, Bernard Bernard Bernie Kelly - Pueblo Chieftain - January 8, 1999 - Journalist 'Bernie' Kelly Dies at 93 - Bernard "Bernie" Kelly, a native Puebloan and one-time reporter for the Pueblo Star-Journal, died Wednesday in Denver. He was 93. Kelly, who graduated from Central High School in 1924, was playing string bass in Charlie Quaranta's band when then Star-Journal City Editor Howard Miller offered him a reporting job. It was the beginning of a lifelong journalism career. Before the newspaper business, there were the dance bands. Kelly traveled throughout Southern Colorado playing in small towns, his widow, Margaret, said Thursday. "He was proud of playing at the Broadmoor," she said. But not so nice, in those days of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado, was the time he couldn't play in a band because he was Catholic, she said. "He joined the musician's union and that's when Charlie hailed him and said he had a place for him in his band." Born on Sept. 1, 1905, in Pueblo's "Blocks" on what is now Howard Avenue Kelly was fond of recalling the flood of 1921. He wrote that he watched from the family home on the bluff as the Arkansas River surged through Downtown, around the Union Depot. The water was 91/2 feet deep in his father's office on C Street, Kelly wrote in the 125th anniversary edition of The Pueblo Chieftain. Kelly joined the Star-Journal in the late 1920s and later always noted that his older brother, Ed, had been a city editor for the then-bitter rival Chieftain. After a four-year stint in the Army during World War II, Kelly returned to The Chieftain in 1946. However, a year later he was lured to Denver by Alexis McKinney, himself a former Chieftain reporter, who was then managing editor of The Denver Post. He began at the Post as a rewrite man, but spent most of his career as a reporter for Empire Magazine in its glory days. He was a member of the Denver Press Club, the Colorado Author's League, the Sherlock Holmes Society and Rocky Mountain Railroad Club. Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Mother of God Catholic church at Logan and Speer in Denver. There will be cremation and ashes will be interred at Fort Logan Cemetery. Horan & McConaty, 1091 S. Colorado Blvd., is handling arrangements. In addition to his widow, Kelly is survived by several nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews.

Kelly, Edward Edward Kelly - Rocky Mountain News - February 22, 1889 - Insane Man Killed - A Santa Fe Train Runs Down a Denver Man - Pueblo, Col., Feb. 21 - This evening Edward Kelly, who was sent from Denver a year or two ago to the State Insane Asylum, was killed near the asylum by an engine on the Santa Fe railway. He was walking on the track and tried to cross a small bridge before an approaching train, being one of the trusties allowed outside. His skull was crushed and the brains exposed. He was formerly a baggage man on the South Park road and leaves a wife in Denver. Kelly, Edward Edward Kelly - Daily Rocky Mountain News - April 28, 1876 - Narrow Escape From a Bequest - An Officer's Kindness and an Old Man's Gratitude - G. H. Waterbury, deputy United States marshal, narrowly escaped becoming rich the other day. The story is interesting, and is as follows: Mr. Waterbury went down to Rosita, in the Hardscrabble mining district, to serve some papers in a United States case. On the return trip he noticed some parties at Pueblo put an old man aboard the Denver train. He was not very well dressed, and it was evident that he was very sick. Some time after the train pulled out for the north the old man grew distressingly ill, and he appeared to be perfectly helpless. Mr. Waterbury took the stranger in charge and did what he could to render him comfortable, though comfort was not obtainable under the circumstances. The old gentleman, filled with gratitude for the kindness shown him, and fearing that he might die before the train reached Denver, entrusted his secrets, his private affairs, and his valuables to the care and keeping of his new-found friend, Waterbury. He told the officer that his name was Edward Kelly, and that his home was near Galt Station, on the Central Pacific railroad, San Joaquin county, California; that he was fifty-six years of age, and was a native of Belfast, Ireland. He owned, in partnership with John Southerland, of Stockton, California, a large ranch near Galt Station, and also a ranch and seven hundred of horses in the San Luis valley, in this territory. He had on his person $219, and a memoranda of about $1,000 worth of notes left with Louis Bartels, of Pueblo, who had put him aboard the train at Pueblo, which place he left with the hope of being able to travel through to California. The money, as stated above, he gave into the keeping of Waterbury. The old gentleman said he hadn't a relative in the world, and, as he was under obligations to Waterbury as much as to anyone, he proposed to will him a part, at least, if not all, of his property, representing a nice little fortune. Waterbury removed Kelley from the train, after arrival in the city, to the county hospital. The old gentleman, still in great agony, and demonstrative in his gratitude, begged Waterbury to return to the hospital the following (Wednesday) morning, as he desired to transact some business. Waterbury, as good as his word, called next morning, to find that Kelley had died at 2 a.m., his last words being an inquiry as to whether his friend and helper had come yet. Kelley had suffered an attack of typhoid-pneumonia before leaving San Luis Park, and on the way to Pueblo he caught fresh cold, and hence his relapse, suffering and death. His partner, Southerland, telegraphed from Stockton to forward the body to Galt Station. Kelly, Frank Roy Frank Roy Kelly - Pueblo Chieftain November 3, 1918 Frank Roy Kelly of that city died at sea.

Kelly, William William Kelly - Denver Evening Post - August 4, 1897 - From All Over Colorado - Trinidad, Aug. 4 - The preliminary trial of Juan Duran, another of the men charged with the murdering of Green and Kelly, was begun yesterday before Judge Milliken. It is reported that yesterday confessions were secured, corroborating Archuleta's confession, from Lucia Duran, the wife of the defendant at today's trial, and also from Luz Archuleta, who previously confessed. Nothing but the bare fact of their confession can be learned. Denver Evening Post - October 29, 1899 - A Victim of Circumstantial Evidence? - Nestor Martinez, who figured conspicuously in the sensational murder of Detectives William Green and William Kelley near Trinidad in 1897, has applied for a pardon. Green and Kelley were sent out by the Colorado Cattle Dealers' association to capture a gang of Mexican cattle rustlers in Southern Las Animas county in October of that year. The detectives were shot and killed when they ran up on the band, and their bodies were thrown into a huge bonfire and cremated. Macedonia Archuleta was arrested a few days later on suspicion of knowing something about the murder. He confessed and implicated Martinez with himself in the crime. Martinez then turned state's evidence and charged ten other Mexicans besides himself and Archuleta as being concerned in the murder. About half of them were convicted of first degree murder and were given life sentences. Martinez, who, it was afterwards proven, had less to do with the murder than any of the others, got a sentence of sixteen years. In view of his efforts to convict the gang, Martinez thinks he should have received a much lighter sentence, and he asks for either a commutation or a pardon. There is a chance that he will get the former. Kelly-Talton, Connie Jean CJ Connie Jean Kelly-Talton - Pueblo Chieftain - November 29, 2012 - CJ Connie Jean Kelly-Talton passed away Nov. 18, 2012.

Most of them escaped by climbing out the second stories of the buildings The following information was obtained by the Chieftain representative as authentic at 3 p.m. Monday, afternoon of bodies in the morgues of the city: At McCarthy-Browns morgue, eighth street between Main and Court: Neal Kendall. Colorado Springs Gazette June 8, 1921 Forty-Two Bodies in Pueblo Morgues Five Additional Today; Several Died of Natural Causes, Says J. W.

Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified The official list of dead follows: Neal Kendall, son of E. P. Kendall, Devine, Colo... 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: Neal Kendall was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado.

Kenefick, John Andrew John Kenefick Pueblo Chieftain October 21, 1918 Boy Accidentally Shot and Killed While out Hunting John Kenefick, 18 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kenefick, 513 W. 6th St., fatally wounded himself yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock when the shotgun he was carrying accidentally exploded shooting himself in the chest. He died immediately afterwards, although not until he had walked 10 feet away from where he was shot. Kenefick, accompanied by C. Plymell and Richard Nichols, two of his friends, was out hunting on the Rye Road. The Ford car owned by the two friends was used to carry them on their trip. The three boys had started back toward home and were hunting along the roadside. What about 19 miles south of here, they decided to stop the car and hunt further from the road. The trio spread out in order to get more of a chance to bag game and had walked about a mile from where they had left the car standing. It was arranged for one of the boys to return and drive the car up to where they were. Kenefick volunteered to go and get the car, while the other lads sat down and waited. A few minutes later Harry Pike, of 2510 Spruce St., drove along in his car and noticed the two boys sitting down evidently waiting for someone. Mr. Pike continued on his way along the road until he saw Kenefick lying face down in the roadway. At this time Kenefick's two chums ran up as they said they had heard a shot fired, and to their horror they found her chum apparently dead. Mr. Pike turned Kenefick over on his back and saw that he was shot. The coroner was called and took the body to the Davis-Vories undertaking parlors. Mr. Pike told the coroner that he did not hear a shot fired and that when he drove up to the scene of the accident the engine of the car was running. Upon investigation by the deputy coroner, Mr. A. R. Davis, he came to the conclusion that Kenefick walked to the car, placed his shotgun up against the front door on the right side of the Ford, then cranked up the engine. When stepping into the front seat Mr. Davis thinks that Kenefick carried his gun with him holding up by the barrel, and when he stepped on the running board, the trigger was caught and sprung back, exploding the charge into his breast. Much blood was found on the door and running board and although severely wounded Kenefick walked a distance of 10 feet past the front of the car where he fell. Kenefick was employed at the Ford garage as was also his chum, Plymell, who accompanied him on his fatal trip. He is survived by his father and mother and younger brother.

James A. Kenyon - Pueblo Chieftain - July 29, 1992 - Deaths - Kenyon - James A. Kenyon, Pueblo, July 28. McCarthy Almont. Pueblo Chieftain - July 30, 1992 - Pioneer 'Culligan Man' is Fondly Remembered. It was two years after Jim Kenyon sold his franchise back to the company that it adopted the still-durable slogan, "Hey Culligan Man." But to Kenyon, Colorado's first Culligan man, he and the water softener company were inseparable. "There was a little ditty he used to sing," daughter Nancy Baker recalled Thursday. To the tune of "Harrigan," he would sing "C . . . U . . . Double L . . . I . . . G . . . A . . . N spells Jim Kenyon," she said. Kenyon sold the Pueblo franchise back to the Northbrook, Ill., company in 1954 and retired. But the echo of one of the company's pioneering franchises remains today in the current Culligan franchise serving Pueblo. Its trucks still carry the "Hey Culligan Man" signs. Kenyon died in Pueblo on Tuesday at the age of 91. Kenyon was born April 2, 1901, in New Hampton, Iowa, where his father owned the local livery, He attended the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. After three years, he left to help his folks who had moved to Boulder County in Colorado to dairy farm. "That was the time of the farm depression," son Jim Kenyon II, now of Denver, said, noting that people forget that the Great Depression of the 1930s began a decade before for the agriculture world. The senior Kenyon was working in Denver for Ford Motor Co.'s tractor division when a friend fixed him up with a blind date in Pueblo with Janet Pattee, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James J. Pattee. They were married on "Friday the 13th" of February 1931, Jim II said. The newlyweds immediately moved to La Junta, where Kenyon had acquired the Ford dealership. All three of their children - Jim II, Nancy and Pattee McPherson, now of Helena, Mont. - were born there. But in 1941, Kenyon found a new opportunity. The small, 5-year-old Culligan company had begun franchising dealerships in 1938. Colorado had none. So Kenyon closed the Ford dealership, moved his family to Pueblo and opened the state's first Culligan franchise - Soft Water Service Co. The beauty of the system was in the concept of providing a water-softening service - exchanging units regularly - rather than merely selling water softener to customers. At one time, the Pueblo franchise was the sixth largest in the company and Kenyon became president of the Association of Soft Water Dealers. But his greatest pride was in the accomplishments of two route men who worked for him, Jim II said. They are former Puebloans Bill Anaya, now a multiple franchise owner in Ohio; and "Mack" McElvey, who recently retired as an executive of the parent company. Once retired, the elder Kenyons made the most of it, living in Denver, California and Florida. For a while, they wintered on a yacht in Florida and spent summers in Breckenridge. But when it was time to "settle down," they came back in Pueblo. That was about 20 years ago. For the past two years, the couple lived at Villa Towers. In addition to his widow and children, Kenyon is survived by 10 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Kerr, Frank Frank Kerr Pueblo Chieftain December 20, 1919 Died in Scotland Many people in Pueblo will remember Frank Kerr, formerly window trimmer for the Pueblo Store, who left Pueblo a year or more ago and went to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he had relatives living.

Mrs. Kincaid had been in unsatisfactory health for several months and finally decided about two weeks ago to go to Pueblo, partly for the benefit of the lower altitude and also to be within reach of a good hospital.

Young Klaus was a resident of Avondale and beside his life insurance, he left a ranch supposed to be worth about $5,000, some personal property and something like $800 in cash.

This is the first soldier estate to be administered by the Pueblo county court.

Born on July 11, 1948, to Henrietta and Rudolph Salazar in Dragerton, Utah. Maxine spent her life in Pueblo and Beulah, Colo. Maxine lived life to the fullest and always was thinking and doing for others. She spent her time here on Earth ensuring that others had a "spark" of happiness in their lives. She was full of joy and laughter because she had such a love of Jesus and she truly desired to spread His love to others. She did this by her constant calling and visiting of friends, relatives and neighbors to check on them and see if they were ok. She truly cared for everyone who crossed her path. Over the last several years, she was a primary caretaker of her elderly parents while still working and taking care of her family. She worked for 38 years at Dillards (Joslins) in various capacities. When you walked into that store, you just had to listen for her happy, boisterous laugh to find her, and when you found her you couldn't help but smile and laugh yourself. She had just retired in June 2010 and was planning on spending a majority of her time with the joy of her life, her little grandson, Landon Lee Holderness, 6. Maxine was a devout Catholic and so grounded in her faith; she was a member of St. Joseph's Church in Blende. Maxine was ordained as an Eucharistic Minister and recently served at St. Joseph's and at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center as an Eucharistic Minister. She also served on the Board of Directors for the volunteer group at St. Mary-Corwin. This was an accomplishment that was on her heart for years to do. The world will never be the same without Maxine. We will truly miss her as mom, as "Mima," as she was affectionately called by Landon, as sister, daughter, cousin, aunt, and true friend. Although we know she is in heaven with our Lord and know that we will someday be with her again, our hearts are aching in her absence. Maxine is survived by her daughter, Michelle (Fred), Landon Lee and Justin Holderness of Castle Rock; dad, Rudolph Salazar Sr.; sister, Mary Lou Salazar (Denver); brothers, Rudolph Jr. of Pueblo, and Robert J. Salazar of Houston; uncle and aunt, Armando and Sadie Chavez, Pueblo; Michelle's mother-in-law, Saundra Holderness of Pueblo; nieces, Paula (Jim) Kolvek of Omaha, Neb., and Cindy Fransua; nephew, Robert Jr. (Kat) Salazar of Denver; sister-in-law, Deanne Kirby; and a host of very close friends and relatives too numerous to mention.

Koop, Edward (Mrs.) Mrs. Edward Koop - Pueblo Indicator - July 8, 1933 - South Chico and Hanover - These communities extend their sympathy to Mr. Edward Koop and children in the death of Mrs. Koop, who died June 18. She was badly burned in rescuing her baby, when their house burned some few weeks ago. Kopel, Jerry Jerry Kopel - Pueblo Chieftain - January 29, 2012 - 'Mr. Colorado Legislature' Inspired Awe - Jerry Kopel, a former Denver legislator who wrote two dozen op-eds for The Pueblo Chieftain from 2008-11 and a weekly column for nearly two decades for Denver's Statesman political newspaper, died this month at the age of 83. A Denver Post obituary quoted former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb as saying, "He was Mr. Colorado Legislature." It was no exaggeration. During and after his 22 years in the Colorado House, Kopel advised legislators - and those Statehouse reporters who had enough sense to listen - on the history and the workings of the law. One of my favorite Jerry Kopel columns, though, recalled his early years as a fresh-out-of-college reporter at the Walsenburg World-Independent in 1951. In his May 25, 2008, column for The Sunday Chieftain, Kopel remembered hearing an old Walsenburg newspaper story about the Indianapolis Memorial Day car race in 1933. Being a holiday, the unnamed small-town editor was anxious to put the paper to bed. He received a message from the Associated Press wire service: "Will overhead winner of race." Unbeknownst to the editor, the message was telegraph lingo that the AP would update (overhead) the results as soon as the race ended. Not familiar with the lingo, the Walsenburg newspaper ran the headline "Overhead Wins Indianapolis Classic" over a story that began, "Will Overhead won the Indianapolis Memorial Day race today." Fast forward to the 1990s, after Kopel had left journalism to get a law degree, worked as a lawyer and had served in the Legislature. One of his fellow legislators, Gil Romero of Pueblo, once confided that he hated serving on the House Judiciary Committee with Jerry. It seems Kopel was so well-versed in the bills on the agenda that he would prepare all the needed amendments in advance. His careful preparation left Rep. Romero and the other committee members with nothing to do but approve Kopel's work. Reporters couldn't help marvel at Jerry's expertise at the State Capitol long after he retired from the Legislature. He offered us tips on deciphering complex legislation I remember, in particular, a recodification of state financial laws. Buried in the 70-odd pages of the bill was a provision to weaken small shareholders' rights to participate in stockholder meetings. Jerry was there to get the provision removed on behalf of small shareholders and, as it happens, of all consumers over the big corporate interests. I was impressed. Kopel did this favor for the little guy - and for free - without the public even knowing it. Upon his death, former Gov. Richard Lamm was quoted as saying, "He was a brilliant lawyer, but there's lots of brilliant lawyers. He was a brilliant lawyer who cared deeply about his state. I really admired him. He was just dedicated to the greater good of Colorado." I had the privilege of having known the brilliant Jerry Kopel. - Tom AcAvoy.

Kopp, Daniel Daniel Kopp - Pueblo Chieftain - May 25, 2011 - Homeless who died to be remembered - Regardless of how they lived their lives and how they died, 15 Puebloans will be remembered at the seventh annual Pueblo Homeless Memorial Service on Tuesday. The service, which is held annually on the Tuesday after Memorial Day, is designed to give friends and family a way to honor and gain closure in the deaths of those individuals who at one time in their lives were homeless, according to LaTanya Yarbrough of Posada. "Some of our people pass away and they never get any recognition," Yarbrough said. "That's why we started this memorial service so that those people who have experienced homelessness in their lifetime can be recognized and remembered." This year, there will be 15 men and women who have died in the past 12 months recognized at the memorial. The event is scheduled to begin at noon at the Boettcher Outdoor Education Center, located on the eastern edge of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo. Rev. Kim James of Wesley United Methodist Church will speak at the event and David Marrerro, commander of VFW Post 203, will give a veteran's reflection. The Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team will perform a veteran's salute for two veterans - Joann Baskin and George Butterfield - who died this year. Music will be provided by the Wild West Cowboy Praise Band. As part of the event, Yarbrough said family and friends are invited to share their memories about those who have died. A luncheon will follow the memorial service. Names and dates of death of those honored at this year's event are: Daniel Kopp, 57, Nov. 5, 2010.

Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified The official list of dead follows: Wm. Korber...
