La Force in Durango, Colo., on Feb. 15, 1975. The marriage was the start of a near perfect relationship that lasted over 30 years. John and Gert spent many treasured years in the Animas Valley north of Durango, where their ambition and skills shaped their new lives in the form of a beautiful home, fruitful orchard, vegetable garden, berry patch and flower garden extraordinaire. Gert found joy in sharing her skills and was a member of the Animas Valley Garden Club. Health forced the couple to leave paradise and move to Grand Junction in 1993, and again to Pueblo West in 1997. With each move, they made their new home a work of creative beauty. Rosebushes, trees and cactus gardens still thrive today because of their loving care and strong work ethic. The way that they transformed places, turning barren into fruitful, ordinary into excellent, mundane to magnificent, inspired three generations of descendants. Gert lost Johnny for a time in 2005. After his death, she moved to Raton, N.M., to be near her six remaining children, 14 grandchildren and numerous great- grandchildren. Her golden years were an inspiration to family and all who called her friend. Her love for others remains her testament as she remains in the arms of her Savior. Gertrude was preceded in death by sisters, Geraldine and Jeannie; brother, Sonny; husband, John; and sons, Eugene and Ronnie. She is succeeded in life by sister, Florence and her husband, Wayne Sherfey; brother-in-law, Penny Patyk; brother-in-law, Babe Quarford; daughter, Norma Hockman and husband, Ed; son, Lee Bryson and wife, Nina; son, Larry Dorsey; son, Max Bryson and wife, Doreen; son, Mark La Force and wife, Janna; and son, Curt La Force.

As a small child, Edalyn's family moved from Texas to Colorado to ranch near the town of Ellicott. She graduated as the valedictorian of Ellicott School in 1939, loving music, oratory and basketball, where she was named an all-state guard. She entered Colorado College at the age of 16 and had leading roles in many CC operas and performances, including "Carmen," graduating in 1943.

She previously was married to Lamont Burger of Colorado Springs. Moving to Denver in 1963, she became the director of vocal music at Loretta Heights College. She married Mario Lalli and they began a wonderful and successful restaurant career together in Mario's restaurant, "where they sing while you dine," where they got to combine their love for singing and opera and great food. The restaurant business took them to California in 1973, where restaurants were opened in Palm Springs, San Diego, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, La Quinta, El Paseo and Pasadena. Son, Mario, and his wife, Nana, continue to offer the best in both at Cafe 322 in Sierra Madre, where Edalyn and Mario attended "opera night" together every Sunday evening. Mario and Edalyn's love of opera took them to Italy, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York many times. Of the things that mattered most to Edalyn was her family. Mario lovingly called her, "Louise," and he made her laugh every day. She was an inspiration to her family and passed on the flame of passion and love for music to her children and grandchildren.

Pueblo Chieftain March 31, 1918 Sacred Heart Orphanage to Receive Bequest This Week Easter Sunday of 1918 and is following week will have more than the usual sacred significance to those in charge of Sacred Heart Orphanage in this city. In addition to its religious significance it will be a week of rejoicing and thanksgiving for, unless something intervenes, the institution will receive a bequest of approximately $125,000, made possible through the generosity of the late John J. Lambert, who in his will left the bulk of his property, both real and personal to the orphanage. John J. Lambert, one of Pueblo's widely known pioneer residents, died January 5, 1916. In his will he requested that the bulk of his fortune, including cash, bonds and stocks, after all expenses were paid and several smaller bequests paid to the named beneficiaries, be given to the Sacred Heart Orphanage. Five executors were named to handle the estate which approximated $131,000, and these men have completed their work and early this week will file their final report with the county court and then turn over to the Franciscan Sisters in charge of the orphanage a sum which will place the worthy institution on a sound financial basis. Through the provisions of Mr. Lambert's will the Bishop of Colo., N. C. Matz, was left the sum of $2000 and the St. Vincent de Paul Society the sum of $1,000. The Loretto Academy was bequeathed the sum of $500 and a like sum was left to St. Mary's Hospital. Several other smaller bequests were made, leaving the residue of the estate to the orphanage. Through the solicitation of the executors and Attorney Errington, Atty. Gen. Leslie E Hubbard waived the inheritance tax of 4% on the $125,000 which means an item of about $10,000 for the orphanage which otherwise would have gone to the state of Colo. Since the death of Mr. Lambert, the orphanage has benefited to some extent from the provisions of the will to the payment of small amounts of money representing in all less than the interest on the Lambert bequest. The receipt of the Lambert funds at this time comes opportunely and the many friends of the institution in Pueblo are pleased to know that it is now assured of financial prosperity. Lambeth, A. J. A.

Lane, Jennifer Jennifer Lane - Trinidad Times Independent - September 5, 2006 - Murder Charged in Woman's Death - The District Attorney's office file four charges Wednesday against Destrey York in connection with the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Jennifer Lane, two weeks ago west of Ludlow. York was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a weapon by previous offender - a .22 rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun were found - and child abuse. The final count alleges York unlawfully, knowingly, or recklessly permitted a child, to be unreasonably placed in a situation that possessed a threat of injury to the life or health of the child. Lane's daughter, Shayanna Lane, was allegedly at the scene of the crime at the time it is to have occurred. Lane was shot August 21. York claimed it was an accident. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Los Animas County Sheriff's Office investigated the shooting. York was being held on previous outstanding warrants and for possession of firearms because he was previously convicted of a burglary. According to the sheriff's office report: On the night of the shooting, York's father (Dennis Talley) informed sheriff's deputies when they arrived that this was not the original scene of the shooting. York had transported the body to his house on Bear Claw Lane. He informed the deputies that the shooting occurred at York and Lane's residence on Ridge Line Drive South, about a quarter of a mile away. Talley informed the deputies that York had told him that they had been out shooting and York heard a shot and turned to see Lane bleeding. He then put her and the three children in the car and brought them over to Talley's house and drove through the gate in process. He informed father that he was a convicted felon and possession of gun would send him back. When advised of his Miranda rights and asked if he was will to waive his rights and speak he stated, No, I definitely want a lawyer. The autopsy showed that the angle entry was an upward angle. On August 25, CBI agent Dave Dowenhaur and Sgt. Reynaldo Santistevan interviewed York with his attorney Les Downs. During the interview, York stated that he was the one who shot Lane. York stated he and Lane were shooting rifles. York was first firing a 12-gauge shotgun before he set it down and Lane handed him the .22 rifle. York believed the rifle was unloaded and he turned to get a magazine of ammunition from Lane, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, at which time he pointed the barrel of the rifle at her. He told officers that upon turning, he possibly pulled the trigger. Lane, Lucille Ann Lucille Ann Anna (Spinuzzi) Lane - Pueblo Chieftain - September 23, 2012 - Lucille Ann Anna (Spinuzzi) Lane.

Together they lived in six different states between 1947 and 1958, before settling in Anchorage where they raised their family. When they arrived in Anchorage Thelma & her husband built their home in Turnagain, a home she enjoyed welcoming all who crossed the threshold.

Lapierre went down town to make arrangements for the burial of the child. While he was away Mrs. Lapierre who, according to her husband, is growing insane, took another child and went out for a walk, leaving the dead baby in the baby buggy and three other small children to look after it. While she was gone one of the neighbors went to the house and seeing the dead baby in the buggy notified the coroner. An investigation was made, and it was found that a Dr. Peterson had been attending the child and he said it died from cholera infantum. The dead baby was a twin, born nearly three months ago. It had been sickly since the day of its birth. Lapierre is a hard working carpenter, and is employed by Fleming Bros., builders, of South Denver.

Lapresto, Tony Tony Lapresto Pueblo Chieftain November 27, 1919 Mrs. Lapresto Positive That Body (of) Dead Man Her Husband Mystery surrounding the disappearance of Tony Lapresto in this city last January has been cleared up. Complete identification has been made by the widow of the murdered man and by his attorney and other friends. Soon after Thanksgiving the body will be taken to Aguilar, the family home, and there the funeral will be held. Persons who have tried to thwart steps leading to the identification, and then if such there be, to discredit it after made in order to shield the murderers, have signally failed of their purpose. Mrs. Rosa Lapresto, sorrowing for ten months during the time every effort has been made to locate her missing husband, and wrought to a high state of excitement, since she learned of the finding of the body here, very nearly collapsed yesterday in the office of Coroner MacLean when shown the coat of the dead man which she had accurately described in advance. So overcome with grief was the sorrowing widow of the foully murdered man, that she had to be given medical attention. The false statement that had been made to her for some purpose that the underwear found on the corpse was composed of a shirt and a two-piece undersuit, did not deter her from insisting that her husband always wore union underwear, and also told of its quality and make. She also described the color, size and quality of the coat he wore when he came here, and told of a safety pin he always used to fasten the top of the inside coat pocket to prevent the pocketbook in which he carried his money, from falling out. The pin, unnoticed before, was found just as she described, but the pocket had been cut and its contents taken by the murderers who had also cut from the coat collar the name of the maker. Mrs. Lapresto described the brown socks, the outer shirt, the hose supporters to the minutest details, and was positive of the coat found with the body in the hole dug for it, together with every distinguishing feature of it and the peculiar safety pin in the top of the pocket. Mrs. Lapresto positively denied that she had ever said her husband had more than one gold tooth crown, or that she said she would not come here to see if she could identify him. Some other persons, it is intimated, who are enemies of the widow and did not want any effort made to identify the body for fear of leading to the identity of the murderers, spread the statement at Aguilar that Mrs. Lapresto had said her husband had several gold crown teeth and therefore this body could not be that of her husband. The men who came with Mrs. Lapresto also stated that she had made no such statement to their knowledge, and that just as soon as she and they received the call from Pueblo to come here to identify the body, if possible, they boarded the first train. Others in the party from Aguilar besides Mrs. Lapresto, Judge Hendricks and the marshal, identified the coat as one they had seen Lapresto wear, and one said it was the same he wore while in jail on charge of killing the blackhander, and before he secured the $15,000 bail. Mrs. Lapresto and the others, including City Health Inspector Byrne, were in Coroner MacLean's office for more than two hours yesterday. The widow spoke thru an interpreter, and so perfect was the identification made by the several persons that Coroner MacLean was satisfied of its genuineness beyond a shadow of doubt. On this account, and because of the storm and also the lack of preparations for the funeral at Aguilar, it was deemed best not to disturb the body until after today, so the widow and her attendants went back to their homes. In order to make the release of the bondsmen perfect an order of court to that effect will be necessary; this action will be had in the district court of Las Animas county at Trinidad, the county seat, and Dr. MacLean will probably be called upon to attend the court for the purpose of giving his official approval as coroner of the identification. It is understood that there has been a standing offer of $1,000 reward for the finding of Lapresto, dead or alive; it is rumored that this reward was some time ago withdrawn. On that point Mr. Kendrick, who was formerly district attorney at Trinidad, and at the time of Lapresto's disappearance, his attorney in his murder case, stated while here yesterday that he was not informed. This will undoubtedly be looked up without delay. A wild, woolly, broken Italian language letter was yesterday received at the office of the clerk of the county court addressed to the Board of Lunacy and was turned over to Dr. Kidwell, a member of that board. The letter sets forth the charge that Tony Riazzio, the insane asylum inmate who killed his sweetheart something like a year ago because she would not marry him forthwith, killed Tony Lapresto, the man whose body was yesterday identified by Mrs. Rose Lapresto. The letter also sets forth that this killing was not very long before Riggio (Riazzio?) killed the girl. The letter is written in red ink and signed B.H.

Lasareff-Mironoff, Helen Helen Lasareff-Mironoff - Pueblo Chieftain - May 30, 2010 - Helen Lasareff-Mironoff (nee Chehiro), 89, passed away May 28 after a brief illness. She was born in Mstislavl, Russia, May 1, 1921. In the first 20 years of her life, she and her family experienced the Russian Civil War, Stalin's forcible collectivization of agriculture, the government-sponsored terror that followed and Hitler's invasion of Russia. In spite of the dangerous times in which she came of age, she not only survived, but also met the love of her life, Eugene Lasareff-Mironoff (1908 - 2000), and saved the lives of many Russian refugees during and after World War II. After the war she worked for the U.S. Army in Nuremberg, Germany, and in 1949, emigrated to the United States, where she built a new life with her family and pursued a teaching career. At various times she was affiliated with Yale University and Dartmouth College, where she taught Russian at the National Defense Education Act Institute. After her husband Eugene retired, the family moved to Pueblo, where Helen taught Russian at the University of Southern Colorado (CSU-Pueblo). Many of her students continued to maintain a lifelong relationship with her after completing their studies. Helen was a devout member of St. Michael's Orthodox Christian Church in Pueblo, where she sang in the choir and took an active part in the life of the church. Helen's personality was forged in the fires of war, famine and the abuses of two totalitarian regimes, and while this lent her strength of character and the courage of her convictions, she was always ready to help all who were in need and gave freely of her time, support and the few material goods she had at her disposal. She was a devoted wife and a wonderful mother who will be missed very much by her son, Alexander; her daughter, Claudia; her daughter-in-law, Hana; and the many friends whose lives she touched and enriched over the years. Service will be held 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 1, 2010, St. Michael's Orthodox Christian Church, 801 W. Summit Ave., Pueblo, with interment to follow at Imperial Memorial Gardens.

Laughlin, John (Mrs.) Mrs. John Laughlin - Pueblo Chieftain October 17, 1918 Three Deaths from 'Flu' in Pueblo Yesterday - Three deaths from influenza and 18 new cases of the disease was yesterday's casualty list from the epidemic in Pueblo. The dead are Molly Carillo, age 18; Arthur Leonard Holland, age 4 years, and Maria Villanueva, age 20. The three died at hospitals. The Holland boy was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Holland, 11 Block Y. Maria Villanueva is the third member of the same family to have died this week. Her father, Alejo Villanueva died Sunday. Her mother died Tuesday. Five of her brothers and sisters also are afflicted with the disease and are in serious condition at a local hospital. Yesterday, John Laughlin of Montrose, a soldier in training at Camp Cody, N. M., was taken sick on the train while on his way from Denver to Camp Cody and was taken off the train here and put under the care of the local Red Cross. His wife recently died at Camp Cody of the influenza and he had taken her body to Montrose for burial and had gone to Denver on business connected with the estate. While there he contracted the disease. Eighteen new cases were reported to the health office yesterday. Two-thirds of the cases reported come from the south side of the city, mostly from the Italian residence district. 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.

Leech - Pueblo Chieftain - February 12, 2012 - Lynda D. Leech, 67. Cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium. Leech, Patricia Sarah Patricia Sarah Leech - Santa Barbara News-Press - May 1, 2012 - The youngest of three children, Patricia was born February 16, 1943 in Trinidad, Colorado to Lazaro and Betty Gomez. Her father died before she was born. Thus several years later her mother moved the family to Nebraska to work in the Sioux Ordinance Depot near Sidney, Nebraska. Her mother then remarried, but died in childbirth, leaving "Patti" an orphan at age 11. Living with relatives in Nebraska or Colorado, she graduated from St. Patrick's High School in Sidney in 1961. For a number of years she worked in the Denver area at jobs including being an elevator operator in a department store, and then a secretary at the Opportunity School, an adult education resource. She then married and raised a family, but the marriage ended in divorce. These hardships led her to develop a deepening faith in God that she shared with others. It also gave her empathy for those facing difficulty, which she often expressed in practical ways. Returning to the labor force, Patti worked at the Christian Booksellers Association in Colorado Springs from 1982-1988 and then as the administrative assistant to a vice president at the Junior Achievement Headquarters from 1988 - 1990. Moving to Santa Barbara in late 1990, she served as the administrative assistant to the Provost of Westmont College, where in 1992 she received the Employee of the Year award. That year she also married Westmont professor, Jonathan Leech. Leaving Westmont in 1998, she went on to complete her college education at Antioch University, earning a BA in liberal studies with a creative writing emphasis in 2002. An active member of Shoreline Community Church, she later become the church secretary. A born storyteller, during this time she published a number of articles in various Christian periodicals. After retiring she became active in the Santa Barbara Women's Bible Study, both as a member and then as group leader. Recently she also joined the Fighting Back mentor program serving children at risk. During the past twenty years she became an avid world traveler, often in conjunction with her husband's professional activities. Patricia loved literature and belonged to the Inklings, a local book club named after the famous Oxford literary group. She loved music of many genres, including opera (often driving with her husband to the LA Opera), pop favorites of the 50s and 60s, guitar music (attending concerts of both the LA Guitar Quartet and the Gipsy Kings), and Christian music. An accomplished calligrapher, she also attended studio art classes, frequented art museums and collected (and sustained) potted plants. She enjoyed taking her little Italian greyhound Luna on walks, often introducing her to curious passers-by. Patti was a people-person who had way of putting those she met at ease. As a wife, mother and grandmother she was devoted to her family. Writer, gardener, storyteller, evangelist, friend, companion, wife, mother and supporter, Patricia touched so many lives. She loved the Lord, she loved life and she was a joy to be around. She had friends around the world. Full of optimism, she reached out to many in need, whether great or small. She worked tirelessly to further Christ's Kingdom. Patti died suddenly at Cottage Hospital on April 6 (Good Friday) after a short illness. Her memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, May 26, at 2 PM at Shoreline Community Church in Santa Barbara. Patti/Mom you brightened the world for us all. We miss you terribly. Patti is survived by her husband Jonathan; children Lisa Fine, Jude Augustine, Shannon Rubio, and Sarah Peplow; and grandchildren Tyler Fine, Sophie and Lulu Rubio; and Micah Peplow; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her memory to Shoreline Community Church. Leek, Max E. Max Leek - Pueblo Chieftain - December 13, 2009 - Max Leek's spirit soared into the universe on the afternoon of Dec. 8, 2009. He was my devoted husband and best friend for 59 years. Max was an artist who produced exciting paintings and beautiful, spiritual retablos. He was an artisan who carved wonderful duck decoys. He always said that his decoys were not as ducks are, but as they should be. He could build a new house or repair an old one and firmly believed that dedicated hard work was the answer to a lot of life's problems. He loved his home, his garden and his big black cat, "JoshBBCatt." He possessed a rapier wit and a wry, sometimes wicked sense of humor. He was an avid reader favoring poetry, history and biography and loved discussions on any of these subjects. He was in fact a latter-day philosopher with broad knowledge and an inquiring mind. Max was born Sept. 12, 1923, near Bronson, Kan., to the union of Ross Leek and Hazel West Leek, who preceded him in death. He served in the U.S. Army at Fort Lewis, Wash. He graduated from Wichita University with a degree in business economics which served him well and furthered his lifelong devotion to work. He is survived by his wife, Yvonne; one brother; three sisters; and a large extended family. He was a unique individual and will be grieved for and blessed by his friends and family. I know my life is changed forever and I also know Max will continue to watch over me, so I will not say goodbye. Go with God, Max. Love, light, many blessings and rainbows. Yvonne. At Max's request, no formal service. A celebration of Max's life will be held in the spring when his much loved garden is in bloom and the earth is fresh and green. An announcement with dates will be made at that time. LeFebre, Daniel A. II Daniel A. LeFebre II - Pueblo Chieftain - September 13, 2012 - Daniel A. LeFebre II, 36, of Pueblo, Sept. 9, 2012. Arrangements pending. Full notice Sunday. LeFebre, Gilbert Gilbert LeFebre - Pueblo Chieftain - May 5, 2013 - Gilbert LeFebre, age 78, passed away May 1, 2013. Gilbert was born in a log cabin in the mountains of Ocate, N.M. on Sept. 27, 1934. On horseback, the mail carrier arrived to town announcing the latest addition to the LeFebre family. The county clerk documented Sept. 28, 1934, forever sealing his birth certificate the day after he came into this world. Gilbert, the youngest of eight children, moved to Pueblo, Colo., when Gilbert was five years old. Growing up in Goat Hill with childhood friends, Joe Alarid and Ray Martinez, he made friendships that lasted a lifetime. At 18, he was adventurous and loved to travel. With the flip of a coin deciding his fate to travel East or West, Los Angeles, Calif. was where the toss led him. He had many talents as a business owner, carpenter, carver, artist and magician. During his lifetime and travels, Gilbert has enjoyed fishing, camping, oil painting, nature, and time spent with his children and grandchildren. Gilbert was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Ruby (Sammon) LeFebre; two sisters, Sara and Mary; four brothers, Bob, Abe, Bill and Robert LeFebre.

LeFevre, Stephen Stephen LeFevre - Denver Evening Post - November 24, 1898 - Deaths Not Reported - Friends of Insane at Pueblo Not Notified When They Die - Sheriff Fisher has returned from Pueblo, where he went in charge of Ethel Polkinghorn, who was committed to the asylum last week. An incident illustrating a peculiar, in fact an outrageous, condition of affairs in connection with asylum routine, occurred during the sheriff's visit to the state institution. While the warden was making out a receipt for the new patient it occurred to Mr. Fisher to ask how Stephen Le Fevre was getting along. Oh, he's doing nicely, said the warden, without looking up. After the receipt had been duly signed and handed to the Pitkin county sheriff, however, the warden remarked: Le Fevre, did you say? Wait a minute; I may have been mistaken in the name in answering your question. Turning to a bulky record the warden ejaculated: O, yes; I was mistaken. Stephen Le Fevre died on Nov. 8 (3?). It appears that there is no requirement of law which obligates the asylum authorities to notify anyone when a patient dies - not even the sheriff of the county from which they were sent. Thus, unless relatives or friends of patients committed to that institution keep posted through unofficial channels as to their condition, they may died and be buried without anybody outside the asylum walls being the wiser. Le Fevre was delivered over to the asylum authorities Oct. 25 and the record says he died Nov. 8, but little more than a week after his commitment. And it was only by accident that the fact of his death was learned over two weeks after it occurred. It would seem that here is a matter that requires legislative attention. - Aspen Tribune.

She taught elementary education and then owned and operated a Yamaha Music School.

Lento, Louis Louis Lento - Rocky Mountain News - May 15, 1897 - The Pueblo Killing - It Appears to Have Been a Cold-Blooded Murder - Pueblo, Colo., May 14 - Coroner Gale impaneled a jury today to investigate the killing of Louis Lento by Joe Greco last night. Quite a number of witnesses were examined and the testimony seems to indicate that the affair was a cold blooded murder. The two men had a disagreement in the house during which Greco is said to have struck Lento the first time. In the melee that followed Greco received the three flesh wounds in various parts of his body. Greco then followed Lento into the yard and came up behind him and deliberately struck him two blows with the edge of an ax, splitting his skull, and killing him instantly. Greco nearly killed a man named Rafael Gardillo, an Italian saloon keeper at 11 o'clock Christmas night in 1892. Greco and Cardillo had some difficulty and Greco came up behind and struck Cardillo with a razor, nearly severing his head from his shoulders. It was only by the most careful attention that Cardillo's life was saved. Greco was given two years in the penitentiary for this attempt. His wounds are not dangerous and it is thought that he will be able to appear for trial in about ten days.

Ann's gift of entertaining was fostered in the wonderful minstrel shows the Lion's Club put on, and she honed her acting skills as a member and performer in the Orphan Players Theatre Group. The family then moved to Pueblo, Colorado and Ann began another teaching assignment at Keating Junior High School as the girls' choir director. She received continual recognition for her dedication to her students and numerous awards in vocal competitions. Even with such an ambitious teaching career, Ann was also highly involved as a volunteer and member in numerous educational, philanthropic and musical organizations in Pueblo. Most important to Ann were her husband, her children, and her three grandchildren Scott and Katie Robeda and Seth Lockard. She was a dedicated wife and supported her husband's music career at the University of Southern Colorado, always in attendance at his many concerts and hosting many professional functions at the family home. In 1964, Ann began teaching kindergarten at Bradford Elementary School for 19 years until her retirement in 1983. Ann and Ralph returned to Walsenburg in 2006. Here the following year, their 60th wedding anniversary was celebrated, as they came full circle in their married life. For the next six years, Ann spent time between both daughters' homes. She enjoyed her affiliations with Chapter BZ of PEO, ADK Omicron and the Walsenburg Woman's Club. Her family cherishes their memories of Ann as a loving wife, mother and grandmother, a devoted friend to many, a great jazz singer, and a quick-witted comedienne. Ann's love of life, her positive outlook and a deep faith, were her source of strength during her final years of life.

Lewis Found between Wheels of Santa Fe Train Mystery surrounds the death of Richard Leo Lewis, 18, son of R. L. Lewis, 1628 W. 19th St., a section employee of the Santa Fe Railroad whose unmaimed body was found lying between the wheels of a heavy freight train on the Santa Fe tracks near W. 24th St. shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. How the youth met his death baffled all efforts of Coroner Ray Taylor last night. Not a clue to indicate whether Lewis was the victim of a homicidal attack or met his death under the wheels of the train, could be unearthed by police and county authorities last night. Coroner Ray Taylor and physicians who performed the postmortem examination last night returned a verdict that death was due to violence other than caused by the train. Lack of serious lacerations or breaks on the body caused the coroner's verdict. Slight abrasions and bruises, believed to have been caused when the youth was rolled under the train, were the only marks found on the body when the postmortem examination was performed at the Davis & Vories morgue last night. The body of Lewis was found lying between the tracks of the Santa Fe right of way early yesterday afternoon. A heavy train, drawn by 2 engines had partially passed over the youth when the discovery was made. William Higby, engineer of the first engine, saw the body lying between the tracks. He attempted to stop a locomotive but 8 cars passed over the body before the train came to a stand-still. C. Schnalle, a resident of the vicinity, was placed in charge of the body and Coroner Ray Taylor notified. Lewis was employed on a section gang in the vicinity, had complained of not being well shortly after dinner and started home. Coroner Ray Taylor has ordered an inquest to be held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Davis & Vories Undertaking Co.

Licon, Richard Richard Licon - Pueblo Chieftain - December 26, 2012 - Questions remain over whether the man killed in Tuesday's officer-involved shooting actually fired at police who initially responded to the call. Initial reports were that the man fired a shot at officers who were called to a domestic disturbance on the 900 block of West Evans Avenue. Now, Pueblo Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Eric Gonzales said it's unclear whether a shot was fired. Gonzales said Wednesday that the Pueblo County Critical Incident Team is working to determine the answer to that question as it investigates the scene. Gonzales said the officers who responded to the call on Christmas Day were told that the suspect had already threatened a woman and her children with a gun. Gonzales said the man brandished the gun at the officer who first responded to the call then, after fleeing the apartment, brandished the gun at another group of officers who shot and killed him. Names of any officers involved won't be officially released until the CIT is finished with its initial investigation. The name of the deceased is expected to be released later today. His autopsy is currently under way. Pueblo Chieftain - December 26, 2012 - Suspect killed by Pueblo police identified - The Pueblo County Coroner on Wednesday released the name of the man shot and killed by Pueblo police officers during a domestic dispute on Christmas Day. Coroner James Kramer said Richard Licon, 40, died from multiple gunshot wounds. Licon was a Pueblo resident and the subject of a domestic-violence call Tuesday. Officer Eric Gonzales, Pueblo Police Department spokesman, said officers were dispatched to the 900 block of West Evans Avenue after receiving reports that a man had threatened a woman and her children with a gun. Reports on Tuesday suggested Licon fired on officers who first arrived at the apartment complex. But Gonzales said Wednesday that the Pueblo County Critical Incident Team is still investigating the incident, saying whether officers were fired upon is one of the questions the team is examining. Gonzales did say that Licon brandished a gun at the first officer who responded to the call, then after fleeing the apartment, brandished the gun at another group of officers, who then shot and killed him. Names of the officers involved won't be officially released until the Critical Incident Team is finished with its initial investigation. Pueblo Chieftain - December 28, 2012 - Cops named in Christmas shooting - The officers who shot and killed a 40-year-old Pueblo man armed with a gun on Christmas Day have been identified as Matt Ballard and Ben Candelaria, the Pueblo Police Department said Friday. Ballard is a 14-year veteran who has worked on patrol and the Investigations bureau. He was a member of the SWAT team for eight years and served three Special Ops combat tours, one in Afghanistan and two in Iraq. Candelaria has served as a patrol officer for the 12 years he has been with the department. The officers have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. Richard Licon, 40, was killed by the officers Tuesday after allegedly brandishing a handgun at them in the 900 block of West Evans Avenue. Sgt. Eric Gonzales said Friday that Licon pointed a gun at Candelaria before going back inside a home and closing the door. Gonzales said Licon ran out the back of the property and Ballard assisted in a foot pursuit to the 100 block of Arthur Street. At an apartment building on Arthur, the two officers found Licon hiding on a porch behind a large bush where he allegedly raised a gun. It was there that he was shot. Gonzales said officers were dispatched to the Evans Avenue residence after receiving reports that a man had threatened a woman and her children with a gun. The shooting is under investigation by the 10th Judicial District's Critical Incident Team. It is still unclear whether Licon fired at the officers during the altercation. An initial police report Tuesday indicated that a man came out of the house and fired at police with a handgun. But Gonzales later said investigators were still examining that possibility. "The investigation is still underway. All the weapons involved are being sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to be tested to see which were fired," Gonzales said. Gonzales said he did not have information on what kind of guns were used in the altercation. Liddeke, Leona E. Leona E. Liddeke - Pueblo Chieftain - December 31, 2010 - Leona E.

Lindsley, Paul Paul Lindsley Pueblo Chieftain November 16, 1918 Former Puebloan Dies on Battlefield News has been received in Pueblo of the death of Paul Lindsley, which occurred in France, October 7. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Lindsley and was born in Pueblo. His home at the time of his enlistment was in Marietta, Ohio. He was one of the most prominent young men in Marietta and when the Marietta ambulance unit was formed in May, 1917, he was one of the first to enlist. He was later transferred to the aerial section and was killed while fighting. Just a few days before his death, he was commissioned as 1st Lieut. and was one of the most daring flyers in his squadron. The news of his death will come as a shock to his many friends. Pueblo Chieftain September 13, 1919 Former Popular Puebloan Sees Great Improvement Here Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindsley, of Marietta, O., are spending a few weeks in Pueblo visiting friends. Their only son, a young man 19 years old, lost his life in an aviation accident in France during the war. He was an expert airman and was in the most dangerous part of aviation work, having been selected by his commanding officer for that duty because of his marked ability and fearlessness as an aviator. The body was buried over there. Mr. Lindsley will be remembered by many old timers as having been connected for many years with the Sharp & Babbitt shoe firm on the south side, now C. W. Babbitt, whose place of business is on Main Street, opposite the First National Bank. Later Mr. Lindsley went on the road and then embarked in the retail shoe business in Marietta, O., where he has made a splendid success the past ten years. A short time ago he sold his business, and later will embark in business in Cleveland, O., but before settling down he and Mrs. Lindsley thought they would come to Pueblo and visit old friends whom they had been hungry to see for a long time, and they are here and having a good time visiting and taking in the new things that have grown up here since they left the town. Charley says Pueblo looks mighty good to him, and we can come right back at him and say he looks mighty good to his friends here, all of whom are glad to see him and wish he would stay all winter and then some. Note: He was buried in St. Mihiel American Cemetery, Thiaucourt, France.

Ling, Yi Yi Ling - Rocky Mountain News - December 9, 1895 - Yi Ling's Sufferings - They Came to an End at the County Hospital - After making his last will and testament and consigning his soul to the care and keeping of the Celestial gods, Yi Ling, who was fatally injured in a brutal assault made upon him in his shop in Pueblo, died a few minutes after 5 o'clock last evening in the county hospital. At the death bed were assembled several of Yi Ling's countrymen. A brother of the dying man, bowed with grief and weeping bitterly, sobbed out prayers to the great and mysterious joss in whose country the troubled soul of Ling was about to arrive. For some hours before the death scene Yi Ling was unconscious and in peaceful ignorance of the tortured writhing of his body. He knew that his death was at hand and on Friday he made his will, bequeathing all his property, which consists of a little shop in the lower part of Pueblo, to his brother. The will was drawn up by the brother and presented to Yi for signature. The document is of parchment and by its provisions Yi Chung, the brother, will become possessed of the property. Yi Chung Will Succeed - The rules of the Six companies which govern the Chinese of Colorado have been complied with and it has been positively established that Yi Chung is the brother and nearest relative in this country of Yi Ling, and he will have no difficulty in securing the property left him. Owing to the regulations enforced at the county hospital the customary death rites of the Chinese were not put into practice last night. In Chinatown, however, prayers were offered up in the joss house for the safe passage to the other world of the spirit of Yi Ling, scented punk is being burned and mourners are in attendance at the sacred shrine. The manner of the death of Yi Ling has been the subject of a great deal of talk and muttered imprecations against his slayer among the Chinese of Chinatown. The funeral of the deceased will therefore call for extraordinary ceremonies. The Chinese of Denver will doubtless conduct the funeral and the remains of Ling will be laid away in mother earth with a display that has attended but few cases of death of Chinese in this city. Story of the Assault - Yi Ling sustained his fatal injury on the night of November 13. He was in his shop taking his evening meal when two white men, Charles Oleson and E. E. Thomas, entered. Oleson demanded his washing and the Chinaman told him that he had not left it at the shop. The Chinaman argued in half intelligible English that he had never seen the washing referred to. A row resulted. During the progress of the scrimmage Ling was laid low. He tumbled to the floor bleeding from a great wound in his head. A heavy bowl, thrown at his head, had crushed his skull. The attention of officers was called to the disturbance and Oleson was locked up in the Pueblo jail. A stone was found in his pocket when he was searched at the jail, which indicates that he had prepared himself for trouble, and it was suspected that he was the party to the row who hurled the fatal missile. On the morning following the night of the fray Oleson was arraigned in the police court, fined 50 cents and costs for disturbance and released. In the testimony presented at court several witnesses swore that E. E. Thomas, the companion of Oleson, threw the bowl, and if this is the truth there will be no need for further investigation of the affair. Thomas was employed as a teamster. A week after the occurrence at the Chinaman's shop Thomas met a sudden and awful death. He was unloading coal from a car when he slipped and was killed almost instantly by the fall. Yi Ling was sent to Denver last Wednesday by John Bennett, a medical student of the State university. Bennett understands the Chinese language and he took considerable interest in Ling's sad case. Rocky Mountain News - December 12, 1895 - Inquest Started - Pueblo, Colo., Dec. 11 - Coroner Fitzpatrick commenced an inquest today over the body of Yi Ling, a Pueblo Chinaman who died in Denver Sunday, over whose body quite a contention arose between the officials of Arapahoe and Pueblo counties. Very little material testimony was introduced today, most of the witnesses being Chinamen, who were, however, of the belief that the man who assaulted Yi Ling has left the city. The examination will be concluded tomorrow. Rocky Mountain News - January 30, 1896 - Trial of Olsen - Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 29 - It was developed at the trial of Olson today, who is accused of the murder of Ye Ton, the Pueblo Chinaman, who was hurt in Pueblo and died in Denver in December last, that the hitherto unknown man who threw the stone at the Chinaman which fractured his skull was one Charles Mellon. This was elicited from Olson when he took the stand in his own defense this afternoon at the conclusion of the state's evidence. The trial will probably be completed tomorrow. In addition to the Pueblo witnesses there are five or six persons here from Denver who will testify. Link, Alvin F. Alvin F. Al Link - Pueblo Chieftain - August 15, 2012 - Alvin F.

Linkens - Yuma Pioneer - October 16, 1914 - Three Die in Wreck - Twenty-Ton Rock Demolishes Train at Grand Junction - Fourteen Others Seriously Hurt When Boulder Smashes Two Cars on Rio Grande Road - Grand Junction - Three persons were killed and fourteen others seriously injured when a twenty-ton boulder crashed 100 feet into the day coach and smoker of westbound passenger train No. 3, eighteen miles east of this city. The heavy missile is believed to have been loosened from the cliff by frost. It was preceded by a smaller boulder which struck the coupling between the tender and smoker, parting the train. Automatic air brakes brought the separated section to a stop. A moment later the massive rock was catapulted upon the smoker and day coach. The two cars, despite their all-steel construction, were crushed to bits. The dead: H. R. Hollingsbery, Pueblo, traveling salesman; Thomas C. Linkens, Grand Junction, branch manager Ridenour Baker Grocery Company; Harry Braddock, Chicago. The seriously injured: Ralph Arthur Cox, marine recruit, Boulder, en route to San Francisco, head gashed, left leg crushed, rib fractured, hands bruised; Adna Bratingham, Alliance, Ohio, badly bruised and nervous shock; Emmett Abbott, Sacramento, left ear torn off, severe bruises; Mrs. Stella Maynard, Fruita, Colo., forehead gashed; Audrey Harrington, her daughter, scalp lacerated; W.

Selinger, Salida, hip and head bruised. Railroad men are unable to explain how the other occupants of the car escaped with their lives. Despite the destruction of the two cars, at least twenty men, women and children escaped practically unhurt. At the point where the wreck occurred, the tracks closely parallel the Grand river and cliffs, from which the huge boulder fell, rise sheer hundreds of feet above the river bank. Much of the wreckage of the two cars was plunged into the swift mountain stream. Note: Harold Hollingsberry was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado.

She was 78 years old. Delfie was born on Sept. 3, 1934, to Miguel and Lucia Rodriguez Manzanares in Redwing (also known as Los Crestones), in the upper Huerfano River Valley, west of Walsenburg. Colo. She was one of seven children and the youngest daughter born on the family farm. After leaving the homestead, the family moved to various locations in Colorado and Utah as job opportunities in mining or farm work became available. Her mother died in Montrose, Colo., leaving her father to raise the children. When she was very young, Delfie remembered accompanying him to work on the farms in the San Luis Valley. One of her earliest special memories was buying her first winter coat, complete with hat and mittens at a department store in Monte Vista. Grampo Mike later found work in Utah and his family settled in Salt Lake City in the early 1950s. It was in Salt Lake City that Delfie met her future husband, Joe U. Lister. They were united in marriage on March 20, 1950, and made their home in Pagosa Springs. Seven children were born to this union four sons and three daughters. Their first home was a small, one-room home on the corner of South 9th and Navajo streets. As the family grew, they moved to a larger home in town. Delfie worked waiting tables at the Rainbow Cafe at the east end of town, for Fussy Gussy Apostle, and Joe worked as an insurance and car salesman. In 1957, Joe opened a furniture store and Delfie remained at home to raise their family. In time, she would watch the store during Joe's absence and the children became more involved in the expanding family business which included the furniture store, the Liberty theater, the Pagosa Hotel, the gas station and the Continental Trailways bus depot. In the 1980s, she felt compelled to move to Salt Lake City to help the family care for her elderly father. While there, she bought a home and worked in the food service industry for several years before returning to Pagosa. Truly the matriarch of the family, Delfie was highly respected by all. She expected her children to respect all people, especially the elders. She guided them through tough times and would firmly discipline them as needed and when she said No, she meant no. She supported her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in all their activities. Every family member, from youngest to oldest, can remember her being in attendance at their particular event and she proudly displayed schoolwork, photos, drawings or awards throughout her home. Delfie enjoyed cooking and, as every relative and numerous friends can attest, her home was the place to be for a hot meal, regardless of the time of day or night. She used no recipes, but everything she prepared was delicious, especially the homemade chili, beans and fresh tortillas. A true sports fanatic, Delfie attended countless games in which her family participated. She traveled far and wide to watch everything from youth league games to high school level competition. You could always count on Delfie sitting in her very own special corner of the high school gym. She attended many state basketball tournament games over the years and witnessed the Pirates capture the title. As a tribute, she was presented with an autographed picture of the championship team, which she proudly displayed. She closely followed many professional teams, including the Boston Celtics, the Utah Jazz and her favorite team, the Denver Broncos. She and her sister, Florence, attended Bronco games in person and would have a terrific time. Oftentimes, she would fall asleep watching some kind of a game on TV. Delfie loved to travel to family gatherings and could be ready at a moment's notice. She was very independent and would pack up the entire family in the old station wagon and head to Salt Lake City. These were very special times and the family wouldn't trade them for anything. She was a careful driver with a knack for taking her own special detours, but she always arrived at her destination or fairly close to it with an interesting and sometimes fantastic story to tell. She knew when the phone rang it might be a friend or a family member inviting her to a celebration or to the casino in Ignacio. She would fire up the old gold Cadillac nicknamed Columbus and the fun would begin. She enjoyed clothes shopping, getting her hair done in preparation for her adventures and was in style wherever she went. She was very much at ease in crowds, made friends fast, and could keep up with anyone on the dance floor. Her quick wit and keen sense of humor kept everyone on their toes. Preceding Delfie in death were her parents, sisters Eloisa Manzanares and Sarah Martinez, brother John A. Manzanares, husband Joe, daughter Donna, grandson Ryan Lister and his son, Hunter Brule. She is survived by her children, Larry (Cindy) Lister of Pagosa Springs, Peggy (Louis) Pisano of Yuma, Ariz., Joe (Kate) Lister Jr. of Pagosa Springs, Michael Lister of Bayfield, Les Lister (Michelle) of Pagosa Springs, and Pam Lister of Pagosa Springs, 21 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters, Mary Marquez of Pueblo, Colo., Grace Brimhall of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Florence Martinez of Magna, Utah. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews throughout the region which she knew by name and established close relationships with many of them. She is also survived by two sisters-in-law, Linda Buldoc, of Phoenix, and Ruby Jones, of Prescott, Ariz. Delfie was an optimistic person who relied on her faith for strength. She would always give thanks and praise to the Lord for her life and for her family. When asked how her trips to Salt Lake City, to Arizona, or to Pueblo she would say that she made trip safely, Gracias a Dios. She believed that through God all things were possible and her faith in the good Lord trumped all logic. She relied on intuition and was right about things much of the time. She was a remarkably resilient human being who overcame adversity many times in her life. She was a tremendous person who touched many lives and will be greatly missed but more importantly remembered dearly by all who knew her. Time and illness may have taken her, but her spirit lives in all of us forever. Mom, sister, grandma, great-grandma, aunt, relative and friend, we will always love you. Vaya Con Dios. A rosary will be recited at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 14, 2013, at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church at 451 Lewis St. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 15, 2013, at Pope John Paul II Catholic Church at 353 South Pagosa Blvd. The family invites friends to share a meal following the mass at the Parish Hall on Lewis Street next to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

Livesey Pueblo Chieftain January 28, 1917 Insane Patient Evades Attendants At Asylum and Hangs Himself A. W. Livesey, Ann insane patient at the Colo. State Hospital, committed suicide by hanging himself in a tunnel connecting two buildings at the institution, some time Friday night. The body, suspended from a pipe, was found early yesterday morning by Miss Anna Cosby and Miss Elizabeth Morton, nurses at the hospital, as they passed through the dimly lighted passage. Livesey had evidently planned self-destruction. Although insane, he was not considered dangerous and was allowed many liberties. He had been seen in the tunnel on numerous occasions since being brought to the hospital a few weeks ago, but attendants at the institution believed he was merely resting in the tunnel and never suspected that he was planning to kill himself. Friday night he escaped from his ward and wandered to the tunnel where he secured a piece of hose and fastening it to the pipes overhead, climbed a column and after looping the hose around his neck swung himself free. How long the body was suspended from the pipes is not known. The 2 nurses who discovered the body had passed through the tunnel a few moments before they found him. When they returned the body was seen suspended from the pipes on the ceiling. Corner Ray Taylor was called and after an examination announced that death had been self-inflicted. The body was sent to Denver last night by Davis & Vories.

Loeschnigg, Edmond de (Daughter of) Daughter de Loeschnigg - Pueblo Chieftain - October 17, 1917 - The funeral of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmond de Loeschnigg will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock in the McCarthy Chapel. Interment will be in Roselawn Cemetery. Loeschnigg, Marie Martha de Marie Martha de Loeschnigg Pueblo Chieftain October 19, 1917 Death Calls Loving Mother, as Son Battles For Liberty Madame De Loeschnigg Joins Babe and Sympathy of City is Extended A death that has brought forth numerous expressions of deep and profound sorrow from friends of the family in all walks of life in Pueblo, is that of Mme. Marie Martha de Loeschnigg, beloved wife of Monsieur Edmond de Loeschnigg, which occurred late yesterday afternoon at a local hospital. "Somewhere in France" tonight a noble young soldier of the Republic stands guard at the frontier, while his thoughts fly far across the waters of the Atlantic to the new home far inland in the sister Republic of the United States where abide those dearer to him than words can ever express. While "doing his bit" in the black and lonely watches of the night this young patriot perhaps finds time to think of the glad day ahead when the world shall once more be at peace, and when, if he shall survive the conflict, he and his loved ones shall once more know the great joy of a family reunion. Little does he dream, brave lad, that when more than two years ago on the eve of his departure for the war front, he kissed away hot tears from the cheeks of his mother, and bade her be brave for his sake, he was then looking for the last time upon the living face of the one dearer to him than all the world. He does not know that tonight in the far away new home in America, the shades have been drawn for the second time in a single week, and that the brave but heart-broken family mourn the passing of the mother and her little child, a child that was dearly beloved, and a mother that was worshipped. Thousands of miles from native home and fireside, strangers in a new land, and among people speaking a strange tongue this fine family has made home for the past two years the last 10 months of the time in Pueblo while Monsieur de Loeschnigg has served his government in the capacity of chief of inspection of steel shell casing and shrapnel material which is being furnished by American manufacturers to the French government. Among the companies filling contracts of this nature is the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, and it was to supervise inspection of war materials being made at the steel works here that Monsieur de Loeschnigg came to Pueblo nearly a year ago. During their brief residence in this city, these patriotic, self-sacrificing French people have endeared themselves to a really wide circle of friends, who now mourn with them the seemingly untimely death of the beloved gentle woman. Last Sunday evening the family home of Monsieur de Loeschnigg was gladdened by the coming of a little child. Death, however, came to the little one, and today, in spite of all that the rarest medical skill could avail, the same messenger laid a hand upon the mother, and brought an end to the life of one who had endured suffering with great patience and fortitude and who had made a brave fight in her endeavor to be spared to live for those she loved. Besides the sorrowing husband, Madame de Loeschnigg is survived by four children: Renι, the eldest son, a soldier of France; two charming daughters, Mlle. Marguerite and little Helen, and a little son, Pierre the last named three residing at the family home, 42 Carlisle Pl., and attending the public schools of the Southside. Madame de Loeschnigg was a native of Paris, but for many years the family had resided at their beautiful country place some 15 miles distant from the French capital. Since the outbreak of the Great War, and until the family came to America, they had lived almost constantly within sound of the guns that thundered day and night on the great battle lines. Many were the thrilling stories the scholarly French gentlewoman told her Pueblo friends of the suffering endured by the people of her beloved friends. Monsieur de Loeschnigg, a graduate of French military schools, was one of the first to answer the call of his country and fly to arms in defense of France when the war burst like a bomb upon the great peace-loving nation. For the first six months of the terrific conflict Madame de Loeschnigg heard nothing concerning the whereabouts of her soldier husband, and for five months of that time she had believed him to have been killed in one of the many great battles fought in Belgium. Finally Monsieur de Loeschnigg came home, but not without injuries, he having been very severely hurt by the fall of his horse during one of the battles. The soldier husband was sent home to recover from his injuries, and while convalescing, he got word that France had sent out a call for men trained in the inspection of steel to go to America. Possessed of the knowledge and training needed for this service, Monsieur de Loeschnigg volunteered and was at once dispatched on his overseas mission. Ten months ago Monsieur de Loeschnigg came to Pueblo as the successor of Monsieur Raymond Mugnier, and since that time has been in charge of inspection at the local steel works. He was chosen to deliver an address of welcome in the French language when on July 19 last, the members of the Belgian Commission to the United States paid a visit to Pueblo. The remains of Madame de Loeschnigg were removed to the McCarthy parlors for preparation for forwarding to France when the war shall end. In the meantime, it is planned to place the body of the little child in the arms of the mother and to lay both away in a grave on the newly selected family lot in Roselawn Burial Park. Announcement of the time and place of the funeral services will be made later by the McCarthy Undertaking Company. Pueblo Chieftain October 20, 1917 The funeral of Mrs. Marie Martha de Loeschnigg, wife of Edmond de Loeschnigg, will take place Monday morning at 9:30 in the McCarthy Funeral Chapel and at 10 o'clock from St. Patrick's Church, Rev. J. R. Schimpf will conduct the services and the interment will be in Roselawn Cemetery. Lofing, Imajean Imajean Lofing - Pueblo Chieftain - August 6, 2013 - Imajean Lofing passed away Aug. 4, 2013.

Memorial service, 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, 2012, at St. Michael Catholic Church, Canon City, Colo. Inurnment will follow at Mountain Vale Memorial Park. Wilson Funeral Home - October 22, 2012 - The world has lost a treasure on October 12, 2012 - a true matriarch and mentor. Patricia Ann Lohnes entered this world on February 27, 1942, 1 1/2 hours before her twin brother Ralph Peter Davendonis. She stood apart even then. Living her beginning years in a small rural town, Hoosick Falls, New York, Pat learned her faith and the meaning of commitment. After completing high school, Pat married and embarked upon her most meaningful profession, motherhood. After giving birth to 5 children, Pat's life then took a new path-divorce, remarriage and a new life in Canon City, Colorado. She then settled down with the love of her life for 43 years, Charlie Lohnes. Along the way and giving birth to two more children, Pat expanded her responsibilities to a career outside the home. Her outside career lasted 20 years, until the age of 63 when she retired. Raising 7 children in her words was "my privilege." Along with 7 children, she also helped raise Lauren Haynes, her grand-daughter. Lauren was more like a daughter than a grand-daughter to Pat. Any person that had the privilege of being part of Pat's life knows how compassionate and giving she was. A true blessing from God. Pat's ability to show love was realized when her own life became riddled with cancer in 2008. An entire family, who learned unconditional love from the best, became her caregivers and support system. After a year and one-half of superb hospice care in her home and ultimately in her own bed, Pat went 'home' peacefully. Her lasting legacy is her family- husband Charlie Lohnes; children, Christopher Haynes (Conor, Cailey), Dennis Haynes (Mckenzie, Broc), Greg Haynes(Jake), Ann Berner (Lauren, John, Christopher) Trisha Hightower (Mandie, Shayna, Halie, Stephanie), Jennifer (Gerald) Lohnes, Darcy(Clint)Crites(Aura, Evelyn); along with three great grandchildren, Karley, Marilyn, Madelynn. Family and friends abound; brothers Peter (Sharon) Davendonis and Joseph(Diane) Davendonis; cousin and best friend Arlene Wysocki - all still living in Hoosick Falls, New York. Also of special note is her dear niece Nancy Devendonis and numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Jann Schoenholtz Sloan and Cheryl Henderson for all that they have done for Pat. A huge void is felt by all who knew this remarkable woman. We will carry her in our lives by showing humility, strength and compassion. In this way, she will be forever. Memorial Service will be at 1:00 p.m., Friday, October 26, 2012 at St. Michael Catholic Church in Canon City, CO with Reverend Kevin Novak as Celebrant. Inurnment will follow at Mountain Vale Memorial Park. Arrangements handled through Wilson Funeral Home.

St. Scholastica Convent on January 17, 1952 and made her monastic profession on August 15, 1953. Receiving a BA in education from Regis University in Denver, Sister Ernestine served most of her fifty-eight years in monastic life as an elementary teacher in Iowa, Kansas and Colorado. She also ministered in parishes as a secretary, in liturgical ministries and visiting the sick and home bound. Especially dear to Sister Ernestine was her ministry to children. With great love she spoke of her students saying, "They were very humble little ones and I needed to be with them, I could hardly wait to begin each day." Whatever ministry Sister Ernestine was involved with, she led a life full of devotion and determination. She especially loved the liturgy of the hours. Many in her community and among her friends and family recall the particular care she took in celebrating all occasions with home-made cards. We take comfort in knowing Sister Ernestine joyfully takes her place in God's heavenly home.

Lopez, William Ramon William Ramon Lopez - Trinidad Times Independent - December 29, 2006 - Bill Lopez, 72, passed away Saturday, December 16, 2006, at good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Neb. Bill was born December 6, 1934, in Folsom, the second child of Elfido and Juanita Lopez. Bill spent most of his early years in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, growing up near a close-knit extended family. In 1952, Bill graduated from Hoehne High School. He enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps in January 1953 and proudly served his country until January 1956. After completing his Marine tour, he worked as a mule wrangler and trail guide at the Grand Canyon where he met and married Linda Phyleen Snow. They had two daughters while working at the Phantom Ranch in Death Valley, Arizona. After returning to southern Colorado in 1961, Bill worked as a ranch foreman for the next 15 years. During this time, he and Linda raised their three daughters. Bill served as a school board member for the Branson School District, was a 4-H leader, and followed his children in their sports and rodeo activities. In 1978 he and his family moved to Newkirk, Oklahoma where he opened his own carpentry business. Bill returned to Trinidad in 1983 where he worked as a carpenter, painter, and handyman. During this time he was a member of the Holy Trinity Knights of Columbus. Bill was married to Paula Chancellor October 19, 1991. They resided in Fountain, Colorado, until 2000 and then moved to Callaway, Neb., where he and Paula built their new home. During this time in Nebraska, he enjoyed all of those unique experiences that rural living has to offer: keeping up with the chores on their property, attending community functions, cheering on grandchildren at their sporting events, and building relationships with new found friends. He was also a member of the Callaway American Legion Post Number 59. Bill leaves behind his wife of 15 years, Paula; his siblings; Loretta (Joseph) Zambernard of Beavercreek, Ohio, Martha (Steve) Fuentes of Colorado Springs, betty (Sheridan) Barr of Albuquerque, Nadine (Jerry) Peltz of Sedona, Arizona, Paul (Trudy) Lopez of Colorado Springs, and Dennis Lopez of Northglenn, Colo.

Bill is preceded in death by his parents, Elfido and Juanita Lopez, first wife, Linda Snow Lopez, and sister Joan Angelo. Billie will be remembered as a true cowboy and genuine character. He was a jack-of-all-trades and known for his generosity and willingness to help a neighbor in need. His charisma, gift of gab, sense of humor and natural wit endeared him to all who have had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be sorely missed as a husband, daddy, Papi, grandpa, brother and friend. A funeral service was held December 19 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Merna, Neb., where Bill and Paula were members. A memorial service will be held in Trinidad Saturday, January 6. A mass will be held at Holy Trinity Catholic Church at noon. Family and friends are invited to a potluck dinner immediately following the mass which will be held at St. Joseph's Parish Hall.

"It was the sheriff's office and police department who got a tip and sure enough, they got him," Newman said. "Last I heard, We don't have a positive (identity) of who he is. He has several aliases. We don't know who he is. Deputy Tracy Bonham of the La Veta Marshal's Office said the suspected homicide took place at a trailer park in the 600 block of East Ryus Avenue just before 10 p.m. Sunday. The victim's name is not being released pending family notification. Earlier, Mayor Jerry Fitzgerald said he wanted to thank law officers who helped in the investigation. The Walsenburg police provided translators, for example, Fitzgerald said. The CBI folks were very professional. And certainly, the Huerfano sheriff's office was great.

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. Losey, Daniel S. Daniel S. Losey - Pueblo Chieftain - October 7, 2013 - Daniel S. Losey, 51.

Her advocacy work for children with special needs began in 1990, when her oldest son, Steven, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy and cognitive delays. Due to her son's significant medical and education needs, she quickly learned the ropes of advocating in both the medical and school arenas. In 1996, Grant was born with special needs similar to his older brother. At 5 years old, Grant was diagnosed with autism. Her work in the area of special education law is significant as Tamara argued cases before administrative, state and federal tribunals. Tamara served on the board of the Lucille Glass Mauzy Foundation, the Regional Center of the East Bay and was recognized by the California Association for Parent-Child Advocacy for vigorous, imaginative, bold and effective educational advocacy. She was also recognized by the California Legislature Assembly for her tireless work on behalf of youths with disabilities, providing mentoring and disability awareness as well as representation of youths in cases of mistreatment.

Lucero, Steve Steve Lucero - 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. [Editor's Note: Died between March 1, 1918 and October 1, 1918 - Buried Roselawn Cemetery, Birth 1893, Death 1918, U. S.

A service is planned at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Golden. Lujan and his seven brothers and sisters were about to be placed in orphanages after their father died and their mother was ill. But Lujan, then 10, ran away to the town of Aguilar in southern Colorado, where he asked a family to let him live there for a year, said his daughter Renee Lujan of Colorado Springs. For the next seven summers, he worked on the Dardanes Ranch herding goats and cattle. He started teaching in Trinidad. "He always believed students, parents and staff could do better," said a former colleague, John Vidal of Littleton. Lujan believed that if kids weren't doing well at school, some of the blame belonged to parents and he'd talk to them to help them become better, more involved parents, Vidal said. "Hank was a continual father, like a dad to everyone," Vidal said. But he could be tough "and didn't allow any messing around," said his daughter Maria Bain of Tucson. Carl Roberts, who once served under Lujan, praised Lujan for giving him enough rein to grow" or letting Roberts "learn the hard way. Henry Manuel Lujan was born June 26, 1932, in Brodhead, about 4 miles from Aguilar. After graduating from high school, he earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of Northern Colorado. He interrupted college to serve in the Marines for two years.

After retiring the first time, in 1994, Lujan moved to Tucson, where he taught for a while before retiring again. After that retirement, he painted landscapes, and his wife made pottery.

Lundquist, John John Lundquist - 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.

The deceased had a passion for diamonds and to satisfy his craving in an unusual manner, had his front teeth and lower teeth set with sparkling gems by a prominent local dentist. The effect was decidedly brilliant to say the least, especially when Jim's mouth was open, and it is said that he was rarely, if ever, known to close it even when asleep. Friends of the deceased say that he carried several hundred dollars worth of gems about in that manner, and was most happy when displaying them. While at work at his drawing blocks witnesses to the accident say that in leaping across the "block frame" to escape a badly twisting and squirming Rod, he fell and a small steel sharp pointed tool he carried in his pocket of his shirt penetrated his chest when he struck the floor.

Lynch, Jason Michael Jason Michael Lynch - Pueblo Chieftain - January 18, 2013 - Jason Michael Lynch left us on Jan. 15, 2013, surrounded by family and friends. While he lost his battle with cancer, cancer did not define his life. TEACHER seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person. Daniel Quinn, from his book, Ishmael. Jason's life was defined by his love for family, music, math, learning, friends, and a true belief that there is no one right way to live. Jason was born in Montrose, Colo., but lived most of his adult life in Pueblo. He graduated from Centennial High School in 2001. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the University of Northern Colorado in 2005. He enjoyed reading, politics, travel, adventure and horticulture. Jason was as passionate about teaching as he was about learning. Everyone who met Jason loved his vibrant sense of humor and tender, compassionate presence. He loved debating politics and was extremely well-versed on current issues related to economics. Jason started his musical career with his first drum set when he was in middle school. He eventually gave percussion lessons to share his love of the instrument. A versatile musician, he played with several different bands doing a variety of music styles. He was most notably associated with The Family Juls Band. He regularly performed in Pueblo and Southern Colorado. Coors Tavern, The Beer Barrel and the Riverside pubs were regular venues for Jason and the band. He spent the last two years of his life doing something he truly loved ... teaching kids about math. He taught at Central High School in Pueblo, Colo. He had three rules in his classroom: peace respect each other; love treat everyone with compassion; and math follow Mr. Lynch's rules. He loved teaching, spending time with his students and making mathematics meaningful to them in their lives. He would frequently provide extra tutoring when they struggled and started the first chess club to keep them engaged in learning. He taught English in Seoul, South Korea, for two years prior to joining the faculty at Central High School in Pueblo. Jason's most fond memories included traveling abroad with his best friends. He traveled to Asia, Venezuela, London and Amsterdam. Jason is survived by his mother, Renee Elwell; his father, Ed Lynch; and stepmother, Janet Lynch.
