MacDiarmid, Mabel Jo Mabel Jo MacDiarmid - Pueblo Chieftain July 2, 1918 Germans Add Hospital Ship to Crime List Vessel Sent Down With No Warning Doctors, Nurses, Passengers, Crew Left in Open Boats London, July 1 A German submarine seventy miles from the Irish coast on the night of June 27 torpedoed the 11,000 ton hospital ship Llandovery Castle, chartered by the Canadian government and in the service of carrying wounded and sick from England to Canada. The ship was then on her way to England. She had on board 258 persons, 80 men of the Canadian army medical corps, and 14 women nurses. Only 24, including the captain, are reported saved. The attack was without warning. The submarine commander, who ordered the captain, several of his officers and Major Lyon, of the medical corps, aboard, said he sank the ship because she was carrying aviation officers and others in the fighting service of the allies. He added later that the vessel was carrying munition stores, because of an explosion which occurred aft. All lights were burning when the Llandovery Castle was torpedoed. These included a huge electric cross over the bridge and strings of white and green lights on either side. The red crosses on the sides of the vessel were illuminated Note: Mabel Jo MacDiarmid, of Pueblo, was one of the nurses that perished. Pueblo Chieftain July 13, 1918 Pueblo Nurse May Be U-Boat's Victim That a Pueblo nurse, Miss Jessie Mabel MacDiarmit, formerly head nurse at Minnequa hospital, was among the victims of the German UBoat which sunk the hospital ship, Llandovery Castel, off the Irish coast on June 27, was made known in Pueblo yesterday through a letter to Dr. Robert W. Corwin from the father of Miss MacDiarmit, J. A. MacDiarmit, of Ashton, Ont. There were 250 persons on board, including 80 medical men and 15 nurses, of this number but 24 were saved. Pueblo Chieftain October 2, 1918 Sub Takes Life of Minnequa Nurse Dr. R. W. Corwin, chief surgeon for the C. F. & I. company, has been notified that Miss Mabel Jo MacDiarmid, formerly one of the staff of head nurses at the Minnequa hospital, was drowned in the sinking of the Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle, by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on June 27 last. The heroic young woman resigned her duties at the hospital, so it is stated, to serve as a nurse for the allies. Pueblo Chieftain October 2, 1918 Pueblo Nurses Now in War Service Quite a number of former Minnequa hospital nurses are now in foreign service as nurses for the allies. They are the Misses Elizabeth Hopkins, Mabel Crick, Callie Remington, Margaret Hammill, Katherine Duce, Elizabeth Dunsmuir and the late Mabel J. MacDiarmid, the last named being drowned when a hospital ship was sunk off the coast of Ireland by a Hun submarine. Pueblo Chieftain January 1, 1919 Four of Pueblo's Red Cross Workers Died One Nurse Died When Hun Torpedo Sank Ship She Was Sailing On To France Died in Active Service: Asbury White, front line canteen work; Phoebe Allen, Ft. Slocum; Died en Route: Jane Minor Hendricks, in New York; Died on Torpedoed Hospital Ship Llandorf Castle: Mabel Macdiermid, June 7, 1918. Pueblo county has a notable record in its contribution to the working personnel under the Red Cross both at home and abroad. Before the participation of our country in active fighting, there were residents of the Sunshine county at work wearing the badge of mercy. But in the last twenty months, forty-one women and three men have been accepted by the Red Cross for work at home and abroad. It must not be forgotten that to be fit for such work, candidates must pass a strict, even severe, examination and appraisement of qualifications, physical, mental and moral. The term moral meaning more than mere rectitude of action, and carrying all that subtle power of inspiring courage, and manifesting unflinching devotion under any circumstances The location of these nurses and other workers is given from the last information at hand in the local office Mrs. Henry, the secretary of Pueblo chapter, has given much time to obtaining the data of service by checking up the records of the Pueblo nurses both here and at the state headquarters in Denver The records available show that 23 workers were sent over seas, and eighteen were assigned to this country. The three men workers were all in foreign service. The names follow: Mabel MacDiermid, (died) on hospital ship Llamdorf Castle, torpedoed June 27, 1918.

(Rev.) Rev. Dr. Malcolm H. MacLeod Pueblo Chieftain January 21, 1919 Rev. Malcolm H. MacLeod, D. D. Dies Of Attack of Pneumonia Rev. Dr. Malcolm H. MacLeod died of pneumonia at his residence, 1024 E. 8th St. yesterday noon. He had been ill but a week with pneumonia, which developed while on a visit to the church at Brandon and Chivington a week ago. Dr. MacLeod was the Presbyterian evangelist for the Presbytery of Pueblo, and had a wide acquaintance especially in Presbyterian circles all over the state. He was the stated clerk of Pueblo Presbytery and was frequently called to eastern states to make known the work of home missions in the west. He was a native of Nova Scotia, and was 57 years of age. In 1892 he graduated from McCormick Theological Seminary and his first pastorate was at Winnemack, Ind. From there he was called to Ontario, Calif. While there he was married to Miss Mary E. Gray of that city. He came to Colo. as the pastor at Alamosa and then at Fountain. He became the pastor of Westminster Church of this city, which afterward became a part of the Mesa Presbyterian Church; and 12 years ago he was called to the work of an evangelist for the Presbytery of Pueblo, which covers nearly the whole southern part of the state. His work required an unusual stock of patience and downright common sense. There was a ruggedness of discernment which were well with the men with whom he was brought into contact. Leaders of home missions in the national offices held him in high esteem and frequently sent for him to make known the work of the western churches in the East. A man of sane and yet mellow judgment; one whose home life was unusually inspiring, and whose large acquaintance depended upon him for a wise discernment of ecclesiastical matters.

Madril, Maggie Maggie Madril - Pueblo Chieftain October 8, 1917 Mystery Surrounds Death of Mother and Daughter - Mystery surrounds the death of Miss Maggie Medril and her mother, Mrs. Prax Zedis Jrigillo near Undercliff. The former, died Saturday and the latter yesterday. The peculiar manner in which the two women, died has caused Corner Dr. Ray Taylor to make an investigation. He was called to Undercliff yesterday when the second woman died and from the investigation made yesterday determined that both women died from taking some sort of powders for headache. Saturday Miss Madril was suffering from a severe headache and took the contents of a capsule. She died shortly afterwards and the indications are that the capsule contained strychnine. The mother, grief stricken, wept so much that she contracted a headache and took one of the capsules yesterday morning to relieve the pain. She died a few hours later in the same manner as her daughter. Dr. Taylor investigated and believes of the capsules contain strychnine. He has empty capsules and some of the others. Where the capsules were obtained and the circumstances surrounding the sale of them to the women will be thoroughly probed by the corner to determine whether or not it was a result of a plot.

Maes, Clifford Clifford Maes - Trinidad Times Independent - February 20, 2009 - Accessory, Tampering Charges Bound Over in Shooting - Charges of being an accessory to a crime and tampering with evidence were bound over February 13 in District Court for Samson Lopez, 30. The charges were part of an alleged double homicide at the Hollywood Bar the morning of November 20 that claimed the life of Benjamin Griego, 21, and Clifford Maes, 31. In addition to Lopez's charges, Ron Martinez has been charged with first-degree murder and two drugs charges after allegedly killing Maes, with Sandoval being held on evidence tampering and first-degree murder charges in Griego's shooting. Lopez and Sandoval's tampering charges are the result of the Trinidad Police Department's (TPD) pulling from Trinidad Lake the guns allegedly used in the shooting. As reported by TPD Detective Phil Martin at last Friday's hearing, the guns recovered from the lake were a Glock 9mm and a Springfield .45. The 9mm had been allegedly used by Sandoval to kill Griego, while the .45 was allegedly used by Martinez on Maes. The drugs charges against Martinez came from a search conducted of his room at the 705 W. Baca St. residence he shared with Sandoval that yielded 15.025 ounces of a substance that field tested positive for cocaine. The chronology of Lopez's alleged acts of accessory to the alleged crime, as recounted at the preliminary hearing, began shortly after Martinez shot Maes inside the Hollywood Bar. Lopez, at the bar with his wife, reportedly fled the bar once the shooting started. Martin testified that Lopez's wife had told him of seeing Sandoval outside the bar as they ran toward his vehicle; he was reportedly shooting toward the ground in the general area where Griego's body was later discovered. The Lopezes then reportedly got into Sandoval's car, with Samson Lopez in the back, his wife driving and Sandoval riding shotgun. They then went to Sandoval and Martinez's residence, retrieved from Martinez the gun used to shoot Maes, dropped Lopez's wife back at their residence and then Sandoval drove himself and Lopez to the west side of the dam crossing Trinidad Lake. Sandoval threw the 9mm on the south side of the dam, and Lopez threw the .45 to the north side. Both weapons were later found on the rocks below, neither having been thrown far enough to reach the water. Following the alleged attempt at disposing of the weapons, the defendants and Lopez's wife allegedly fled north, to Denver but were arrested November 25 in the Denver suburb of Lakewood by Denver Metro Police following a joint effort by the TPD, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and Denver Metro Police Department. The defense claimed that Lopez had assisted in the alleged attempt to conceal the crime acted under duress, and that he had told police that Martinez had threatened to shoot his wife in the face should he refuse assistance, a statement Martin confirmed. This court heard testimony that at no point did Lopez have an opportunity to remove himself from the situation, Public Defender Cobea Becker said. Judge Claude Appel replied that the court did not take duress under consideration during preliminary hearings. Also raised by the defense was a motion to dismiss the charges against Lopez based upon alleged prosecutorial misconduct by the TPD regarding whether he had been denied his right to legal counsel. According to various in-court testimonies, the TPD had interviewed Lopez without the presence of his attorney, Becker, as she waited to speak with him in another room at the police station for about an hour. Whey Martin and District Attorney Frank Ruybalid testified that Lopez had been read his rights, Becker replied, It's irrelevant to the issue at hand; the issue is the Fifth Amendment right to counsel. Lopez's bond was set at the statutory level for a class five felony, $5,000 cash or surety. A motions hearing in the case was set for March 27. Maes, Daniel X. Daniel X.

Mr. Major was struck on the head with a falling rock in a mine several years ago and since that time has been subject to fits of temporary insanity, but was always controlled before he did any harm. About two weeks ago he was attacked by a fit of this nature and knocked down his son on Main street. The officers put him in jail and in a couple of days he was all right again. He was sent to Pueblo for treatment, where he died. He was well known in Gilpin and Clear Creek counties.

Magrath, Christopher Christopher Magrath - Huerfano World Journal - January 27, 2011 - Human remains found near Cuchara - Last Sunday, a group of lion hunters near Sulpher Springs stumbled across human bones, and alerted the Huerfano County Sheriff Department. The way the story is told, the men lost sight of their dogs while hunting, and whistled them back. One of them returned lugging a human skull. Searchers returned to the area and found a femur and a glove in the general area, but with two feet of snow on the ground, decided to wait until spring to return. The body is believed to be Christopher Magrath, 28, of Tulsa, OK, who disappeared on November 6, 2009. Magrath's truck was soon found by hunters, and it contained a suicide note. Magrath's body was not found, despite a five-day search using aircraft and cadaver dogs. Magrath's family had been contacted and was on the scene during the initial search in 2009. They stated that Magrath had sent several notes to relatives indicating he had come to the mountains to die and that he would make sure his body was not found. The family also said he had moved from Oklahoma to Colorado but that they had no idea of his intentions. Evidence and investigation into Magrath's mental state indicates that suicide was probable.

Mallaby will be received with real sadness by a host of Puebloans who knew and respected him in the highest degree. Mrs. A. K. Barwise, an intimate friend of the Mallaby family, received the sad news by wire yesterday that Mr. Mallaby had passed away at the New York City home at 5:30 in the morning. There were no particulars, and there having been no intimation that Mr. Mallaby was in other than the splendid physical condition, he enjoyed when here last summer, the news came as a shock. He was the senior member of the Mallaby-Campbell Investment Company with offices in the Central Block. He had been a resident of this city for many years. He removed to New York, where he became a leading figure with one of the largest insurance companies. The family, consisting of his wife, and two daughters, Mrs. Howard D. White and Miss Julia Mallaby, went to New York to reside, and that is still their home. Retaining his interest in the Pueblo company, Mr. Mallaby made a number of trips to this city, and was always greeted with the utmost cordiality by his many friends. Mr. Mallaby was a man of lovable disposition, yet strong personality and the strictest integrity. The site of the central block was sold by Mr. Mallaby in 1892, to the T. & H. Pueblo Building Company, which erected the handsome structure of which Mr. Mallaby was placed in charge. Mr. J. E. Campbell later became a partner and since Mr. Mallaby departed from Pueblo, has been in charge of the building. The Mallaby's family owns considerable property in this city, including a handsome residence at 1707 Lake Ave. The late O. W. Mallaby was considered an expert in realty management and values, and for a number of years has been in charge of the Real Estate of the United States Life Insurance Company of New York. It is presumed the funeral and interment will be held in New York.

Marold, Roswitha Roswitha Marold - Huerfano World Journal - January 20, 2011 - Plane goes down in Huerfano County - Huerfano and Custer County Search and Rescue personnel and Civil Air Patrol Squadrons were summoned out around 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon after receiving information that an airplane may have crashed in one of the counties. A 1997 model Piper Turbine Malibu, bearing registration number N727MC, was on a flight from Phoenix, Arizona to Pueblo, Colorado. While cruising at 20,000 feet, ATC (Air Traffic Control) received a distress call from the pilot stating he could not hold altitude and was descending over the Sangre de Cristo mountains about 50 miles west of Pueblo. The Malibu was losing altitude at a rate in excess of 1600 feet per minute. Denver ATC tracked the Malibu and lost radar contact when the aircraft descended below its range. ATC computed a speed, heading and descent trajectory and identified four possible areas for a crash, two in Huerfano County and two in Custer County. According to Capt. Robert Pruiksma with Custer County Search and Rescue, terrain in the search areas averaged 10,500 feet and was heavily wooded. An aircraft could be swallowed up in the trees and be very hard to see. Searchers were further inhibited by snow showers, fog and low visibility. Kirtland AFB in New Mexico launched two Blackhawk helicopters and Civil Air Patrol was able to provide one airplane to aid the search, however, the visibility was too low for object identification. However, N727MC was equipped with an ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) that since 1973, has supplied location information for downed aircraft. The helicopters were able to provide coordinates for the signal and direct ground crews to the area. Poor weather required the search to be called off for the night and resumed the next morning. At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Monday, while Huerfano Search Coordinator Deputy Joseph Gunny Albano worked with teams on the Huerfano County locations, the aircraft wreckage was located by search personnel just into Huerfano County one mile east of Blueberry Peak. According to Lt. Col. Mike Daniels, a spokesman with the Colorado Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, rescuers found the aircraft wreckage containing the pilot/owner of the plane, 66 year old Dr. Michael Welton of Waterloo, IA and his passenger Roswitha Marold, a retired businesswoman also from Waterloo. Both occupants were pronounced dead at the scene, and the severity of the wreckage, poor weather and remote location required waiting another day before the bodies could be removed. Dr. Welton was an experienced pilot holding a Private Pilot license with an Instrument Rating. Weather at the time had caused two other aircraft to deviate from the same course and make precautionary landings at nearby airports. Severe ice is being looked at as a contributing factor. While the Malibu is equipped for flight into ice conditions, no aircraft is authorized to fly in severe conditions. Search personnel credited the ELT signal with aiding a quick find. ELT's have been required on most aircraft since 1973, following an Alaska accident in which two congressmen disappeared and the wreckage has never been found. The accident is being investigated by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) and the final results will not be available for several months. Maroney, Edward Edward Maroney - Rocky Mountain News - January 25, 1897 - Death by Scalding - Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 24 - Edward, the 15-months' old son of Mr. and Mrs. John H.

In the 1960s he was chapel board chairman when the Cuchara Chapel Scholarship Program began. At the time, Huerfano County high school graduates were not going on to college and he saw the scholarship program as a way to change this.

Marquez, Antonio Antonio Marquez - Colorado Springs Gazette - July 12, 2005 - Fourth Judicial District prosecutors on Monday charged a Pueblo County man with first-degree murder in the death of a man who was shot and burned in eastern El Paso County. Ramiro Castillo Vargas, 18, faces life in prison or the death penalty if convicted in the death of 24-year-old Antonio Marquez of Colorado Springs. Vargas is being held without bail. Vargas will return to court Aug. 5 for a hearing in which a judge will decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence to try him. Prosecutors also charged two other members of the Vargas family with accessory to murder. Brenda Lee Vargas, 38, of Colorado Springs and Moses Vargas, 39, of Alamosa are accused of concealing evidence. Judge Thomas Kane on Monday lowered Moses Vargas' bail to $85,000 from $500,000 after Vargas' lawyer argued it was excessive. Sarah Christensen, who asked that bail be lowered to $10,000, called witnesses who described Moses Vargas as a devoted father of four and a respected Alamosa businessman. Deputy District Attorney Robyn Cafasso, however, said Moses Vargas discouraged witnesses from talking to police about the death of Marquez. She said he might interfere with evidence gathering or threaten witnesses if he bonds out. Cafasso said Moses Vargas has family in Mexico, making him a flight risk. She asked Kane to keep bail at $500,000. A bond reduction hearing for Brenda Vargas, whose bail is $500,000, is expected to be scheduled next week. Meanwhile, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is seeking Ramiro Vargas' cousin, Gerald Albert Vargas, 18, of Colorado Springs. He is wanted on suspicion of first-degree murder in Marquez's death. Marquez's burned body was found June 14 along South Blaney Road near Colorado Highway 94. Gerald and Ramiro Vargas knew Marquez. Investigators haven't said which is the alleged shooter or if both are suspected of shooting him. According to an arrest affidavit, several people were with Marquez in a Dodge Durango when he was killed. An argument about money broke out, and he was shot several times while sitting in the back seat. The next morning, at Brenda Vargas' Lassen Drive house, Moses Vargas helped dispose of clothes worn during the killing, authorities said in the affidavit. He threatened to kill anyone who talked, the affidavit says. Brenda Vargas helped Moses Vargas attempt to destroy evidence and lied to investigators about her role, the affidavit says. Colorado Springs Gazette - November 21, 2006 - Pueblo Man Convicted in Slaying - Teen Guilty of 2 Felonies in 2005 Shooting - A Pueblo man was acquitted of murder Monday, but a jury convicted him of helping plan and carry out the slaying. Ramiro Vargas, 19, was convicted of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and being an accessory to murder, both felonies, in the June 2005 shooting death of Antonio Marquez, 24. Because jurors found the conspiracy was a crime of violence, he could face up to 48 years in prison. Jurors deliberated about eight hours Friday and Monday after the week long trial. I kind of knew that he wouldn't get convicted of murder, said Marquez's mother, Norma Ramirez. But at least he didn't walk. Marquez was shot numerous times, allegedly over drug deals. His body was doused with gasoline and set afire off a rural road in eastern El Paso County. According to El Paso County sheriff's investigators, Vargas was in the vehicle when another suspect pulled the trigger. Vargas helped destroy evidence and burn the body and tried to buy witnesses' silence with bills covered in the victim's blood, investigators said. The jury worked really hard on this case, said Deputy District Attorney Robyn Cafasso. This verdict is absolutely proper. Cafasso said it was too early to decide what prosecutors will ask for at Vargas' sentencing. Vargas' cousin, 19-year-old Gerald Vargas, is accused of begin the shooter. His trial is scheduled for March. There already have been two trials in the case: Gerald Vargas' mother, Brendalee Vargas, was convicted of being an accessory and sentenced to 90 days in jail; Saul Grajeda, 19, was also convicted of being an accessory and is scheduled to be sentenced in January. Ramiro Vargas, who is being held without bond at the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center, is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 21.

Marsh, 01/05/1920 - 02/21/2010 - Hugh believed everyone's story was important. Hugh's story began in Detroit, MI, January 5, 1920, but unfolded at Monmouth, IL when his parents E Gordon and Alys (Gabby) Marsh moved back to their home town. Hugh attended Monmouth public schools and enrolled at Monmouth College. Being analytical, Hugh majored in chemistry. Hearing a Youth Conference speaker, he felt called to ministry. On a college hayrack ride, sitting by a red-haired girl, Joanne Maxwell, a spark was lit. It became a flame leading to a wedding Christmas Day, 1944, in Nashville, IL. The flame lasted for 65 years, and is still burning. His seminary training was at Pittsburgh Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pa. Due to WW II, he graduated early, in January, 1945 and began their first pastorate at Clinton UP Church, PA. Hearts in the Midwest, in 1948, they loaded 2 yr old David and six week old Danny heading to Mission Creek UP Church, NE. Loving this farming community, Hugh become farmer enough to have a milk cow. Two children were born there, baby John, living only 11 days, and daughter Martha. His Kansas pastorates were: Garnett, Kingman, and three churches in Wichita. After a year as Developer/Administrator of Presbyterian Manor, Arkansas City, he began Interim Ministry, a deeply rewarding period. Interim pastorates were Derby; Sunrise Presbyterian, Salina; Emporia First Presbyterian; and Abilene Presbyterian. They retired in Salina, planning summers at their cabin in La Veta, CO. Instead they moved, and Hugh served 10 years at La Veta Methodist Church. They returned to family in Lindsborg in 2001, giving them time with son David before his death in 2002. Hugh's motto was: Leave your world for those who follow, as good or as better than you found it. He lived by that mottofixing, renovating and building, including helping youngest son, Paul, build his straw bale house. Furthermore, he was active in civic organizations and community affairs, and became a strong supporter of Land Institute, Salina. He and Joanne dreamed into existence a Peace Garden at Trinity Methodist Church. Hugh was a humble, down to earth man, with a great smile. He accepted himself the way he was, warts and all. He accepted others the same way a great believer that we all were one body, all God's children. Diagnosed with leukemia in April 2009, they were given the gift of another 9 ½ months, celebrating 65th anniversary, 90th birthday, and a special Valentine's Day.

Pueblo Chieftain January 21, 1919 Firemen's Funeral Funds to Be Paid The first claims to be paid in Pueblo out of the firemen's pension fund created by the last state legislature will be ordered paid by the city council as soon as the two applications for the money are received. The claims are on the lives of Paul Marshall and George Yamski who died recently and whose beneficiaries are entitled to $100 funeral expenses. It was only after the state firemen's Association had waged a fight for the adoption of the system, that the pension fund was created by the last state legislature. Beginning February 1, each fireman in the city will allow 1% of his monthly wage to be placed in the fund. The state has already placed $1,400 in the local fund and the city added $3,000 this year, so with incomes from the state, city, and the firemen themselves, a permanent fund will be created which will provide pensions and insurance for every member. It is said that the police are now fostering a movement to have a similar bill passed by the legislature which will provide a pension and insurance law for the police department. Marshall, Raymond D.

Martin, Former Puebloan, Buried Yesterday at Seattle - Was Popular in This City - Brother of Mrs. James B. Orman - E. H. Martin, a brother of Mrs. James B. Orman of this city and until 15 years ago one of the best known and most popular citizens of Pueblo and Colorado, died Sunday, March 18, at Seattle, Washington, where he has resided for several years past, and was buried yesterday in that city. At the time of his death he was 68 years old, having been born on the second day of February, 1849. His wife and three daughters and one sister were with him when he died, and his last hours were peaceful, quiet and happy. His sister, Mrs. S. W. Morgan of San Diego, California, went to his bedside several weeks ago, as did also two of his daughters who live at Twin Fall, Idaho. The third daughter lived near Seattle and has been with her father much of the time since his condition became serious, and everything that loving care and medical skill could do for him was done. To the loving wife, daughters and sisters the sincere sympathy of many friends in Pueblo will be extended, and especially is this true in the case of Mrs. Orman, of Pueblo who was unavoidably prevented from being present at her beloved brother's bedside when he passed away. During his 25 or 30 years residence in Pueblo E. H. Martin was engaged in several import business enterprises, but he was best known as a real estate and insurance man, a business which he followed for many years, and during the lively days of real estate in the late eighties and early nineties he made considerable money and was one of the best known and most faithful and persistent boosters Pueblo ever had. But while Mr. Martin made money in those days, he was one of those liberal, whole-souled men who was always spending money for the town and never failed to help a friend in need, and as a result he died a comparatively poor man, so far as this world's goods are concerned, but rich in the love of the members of his family, and the friends who survive him. During his residence in Pueblo he held several minor offices, and served on term as warden of the Colorado State Penitentiary, discharging every duty as he saw it - faithfully and well. When he left Colorado he went to California, in hopes that the climate would benefit his health. He located at Long Beach, and was there for several years, but his health did not improve as he and his wife hoped it would and they went to Seattle, where they bought a home and have resided for the past three years, but his health still failed to improve, and for the past year he has been a great sufferer of diabetes, the disease which finally took him away, despite the faithful care of his wife and children and the best medical skill that could be had. "Jack" Martin was a whole-souled, lovable man, with a genial smile and a friendly word for all, generous to a fault, and all who knew him in the days gone by will regret that he could not have lived longer to brighten the lives of those whom he loved and those who loved him.

Martinez, Andrea S. Andrea S. Martinez - Colorado Springs Gazette - February 17, 2004 - Two Die in I-25 Crash - Victims Were in Car Going Wrong Way Near Pueblo - Two people heading the wrong way on Interstate 25 died instantly Monday when their pickup slammed head-on into a tractor-trailer about 9 miles north of Pueblo. Santiago G. Vigil, 27, of Denver and his passenger, Andrea S. Martinez, 28, of Lakewood were traveling south in the northbound lanes about 3:05 a.m. near milepost 111, south of the El Paso-Pueblo county line. Much of their Ford Ranger was crushed. Vigil and Martinez weren't wearing seat belts and were thrown from the truck. The tractor-trailer driver, Rodney Smircich, 41, of Walsenburg wasn't seriously injured. He was wearing a seat belt. When Smircich saw the truck coming toward him, he slammed on the brakes, swerving to the right, said investigators with the Colorado State Patrol. The truck veered to its left and into the front of the tractor-trailer. The (pickup) didn't seem to slow down at all, said state patrol Sgt. Luke Armstrong. Both vehicles were estimated to be traveling 68 to 75 mph. If drivers saw the pickup going the wrong way, no one called 911. The only person who called was a witness to the crash. It happened near a curve, and the witness told authorities it initially was difficult to tell which lane the truck was in. Investigators don't know where the pickup got on the northbound lanes. We didn't see where they would have crossed the median, Armstrong said. We believe they were in that lane for a while. He said alcohol was found at the scene. Authorities are waiting for test results to see whether Vigil was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The crash shut down the northbound lanes until about 8:30 a.m. This is the first deadly wreck this year in Pueblo County in which someone was driving the wrong way, investigators said.

Martinez, Annette Annette Martinez - Colorado Springs Gazette - December 12, 2005 - Man Arrested in Pueblo Stabbing - A man was arrested Saturday night in the fatal stabbing of a convenience store clerk about 16 hours earlier, Pueblo police said Sunday. The clerk, Annette Martinez, 35, was attacked during a robbery at the 7-Eleven store at 804 E. 4th St. in Pueblo, police said. Freddie Arturo Delariva, 29, was arrested just before 7 p.m. on suspicion of first degree murder. He is being held in the Pueblo County Jail. He has past convictions in Colorado for theft and escape. Martinez's body was found after a patrol officer was flagged down at 2:52 a.m. by customers who had entered the store and didn't see a clerk. At least part of the attack was caught on videotape by a surveillance camera, police said. Before the assault, two other customers came into the store and appeared to see the suspect leave, police said. Anyone with information about the case should call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719-542-7867. Colorado Springs Gazette - December 17, 2005 - Slain Mom Never Slowed Down; Pueblo Clerk Was Working Extra Shift to Buy Gifts for Kids - Pueblo - No one ever accused Annette Martinez of being idle. She would work the graveyard shift at 7-Eleven, then go home and drive her boys to school. She collected scrap metal and old newspapers and sold them for cash. In her spare time, she volunteered. She umpired softball games and refereed basketball and slept when she had the rare opportunity. Slow down, her mother admonished. Get some rest. Martinez, 35, never would. Particularly not with Christmas approaching. She needed extra money for presents for her boys - Brandon, Justin and Christian - the center of her world. On Dec. 9, Martinez picked up an extra shift at 7-Eleven. About 10:30 p.m., she changed into her uniform. At 2:51 a.m., police found her stabbed to death in the back room. The news quickly spread through this city of 105,000: "Coach Annette", as countless kids knew her, was dead. Pueblo has homicides - an average of six a year - but few that stunned, angry residents find as shocking and cold blooded as this one. When Martinez got the 7-Eleven job several months ago, her mother, Patty Hijar-Converse, felt uneasy about her daughter working alone at night. "If you get robbed, let them have whatever they want," she warned. "Nothing is worth giving your life." Martinez didn't like working alone, either, her sister, Alicia Martinez, said, but she needed the money. Born and raised in Pueblo, Martinez left high school before graduation, although she later earned her general equivalency diploma, her mother said. Then she got pregnant and her focus turned to financial survival. Although she really wanted a full-time job with benefits, she settled for what she could find. When she wasn't working, she volunteered as a coach. That too, was about survival; it was about keeping her boys out of trouble and keeping her eye on them. "She was just so dedicated to her boys," city recreation supervisor Dave Hernandez said. Friday, Dec. 9, was a special day for the Martinez/Hijar clan. Martinez's cousin was home on leave from Iraq, and Annette organized a party. Everyone ate and laughed and mingled. By 10:30 p.m., the party was winding down. Martinez got ready for work. Her grandfather, Frank Hijar, meant to say good night. He meant to tell her to be careful on the icy sidewalks. But when he looked for her, she was gone. At 2:36 a.m. Saturday, a man entered the store as several customers left, as the store's surveillance tape showed. He walked out of view of the camera, then Martinez came from behind the counter and walked off-camera also. Police don't know what he said or did to draw her out, Pueblo Deputy Police Chief John Ercul said. But they know the two ended up in the back room. They know Martinez fought hard; she had cuts on her hands from trying to ward off the knife before she was stabbed in the neck. The man returned to the counter, where he rifled through some items, then left. At 2:50 a.m. Saturday, two women walked into the 7-Eleven. When they didn't see a clerk, they called 911. A police officer found Martinez dead in the blood-drenched room. As the news spread Saturday, police received a tip about a man named Freddie Delariva, who has convictions for theft and escape. They won't say what they were told, but when they went to his house at about 7 p.m., they said, Delariva ran and hid before they arrested him. He's being held at the Pueblo County Jail on $1 million bail. Martinez's family has never heard of the man, but as far as they're concerned, her killer was the devil himself. Now a city reaches out to one of its families: the house is crammed with flowers this week. There are the Christmas decorations Martinez put up - stockings strung on the railing and a tree loaded with blue tinsel. But no gifts - Martinez hadn't had the time or money to go shopping yet. The family clusters downstairs, answering the constantly ringing phone. They relate stories of Martinez as a child, defying her older sister. "She said, 'I know my rights, and you're not the boss of me,'" Hijar said, then laughed softly. Visitors stream through, weeping. "I couldn't stand it if I had to bury one of mine," one woman murmured. "You would have to tranquilize me." "I've got to do it," Hijar-Converse said. "I'm the mama. Mamas do this." She watches over her daughter's youngest, 10-year-old Christian, who speaks of his mother in the present tense. "She tucks me in and cuddles with me," he said, describing the nightly routine. "Then she goes to work." What happened the last time Martinez went to work is something they try not to think about. Alicia Martinez says the thing is, her sister's life was a struggle -- to make money, to care for her boys. "For the end to be a struggle as well," she said, "that hurts." Martinez, Annie Annie Martinez - Pueblo Chieftain - July 17, 2009 - Annie Martinez, 83, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend, was called to eternal glory on July 15, 2009. Born in Gardner, Colo., to the union of Juan Pedro and Mary Elizabeth (Baca) Trujillo. Preceded in death by her loving husband of 62 years, Serafino Martinez.

Martinez, Anthony Anthony Tony Martinez - Pueblo Chieftain - May 11, 2012 - He was a vets' vet - GI Forum commander remembered for dedication to fellow veterans - Anthony Tony Martinez had a big heart for veterans and as commander of the Pueblo chapter of the American GI Forum, he worked to help fellow veterans get the services they needed. That was the assessment of friends and family members who came to the Pueblo County Courthouse on Thursday to hear the commissioners proclaim Anthony Martinez Day. Martinez died last Friday at age 62. Tony was one of those inspiring guys who led by example, said Nick Romero, vice commander of the Pueblo chapter. It was important to him that our government and our communities do right by the men and women who serve their country. Martinez was born in Walsenburg, but lived most of his life in Pueblo. He served in the Army from 1967 to 1971, including a tour in Vietnam. He was elected commander of the Pueblo chapter in 2011. Lucille Martinez, his widow, said those days in Vietnam were an important part of his life. That's why he was so committed to helping veterans, she said after Thursday's ceremony. It's easy for veterans to get pushed to the side and ignored. Tony didn't want that to happen to anyone. Salvatore Torres, a former Marine and member of the Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team, said he fondly remembered Martinez encouraging veterans to come out of the crowd during Veterans Day parades to join in the procession. On hand for the ceremony were Martinez's three daughters Antoinette Ruiz, Andrea Gomez and Kelsy Lovato, along with a godson, John Martinez. Commissioner Jeff Chostner, a retired Air Force colonel, said he'd met with Martinez just last week, hoping the ailing man would be able to attend Thursday's ceremony. Tony gave me a thumbs-up, that he would be here, but sometimes fate intervenes, Chostner told the audience. District Attorney Bill Thiebaut also was at Thursday's event and presented the family with a certificate of appreciation for Martinez's service. A memorial will be held at 10 a.m. today at the American GI Forum, 125 Hector Garcia Place, under the direction of Angelus Chapel.

Martinez, David David Martinez - Pueblo Chieftain - October 9, 2010 - Suspect sought in fatal crash - The Colorado State Patrol is seeking the public's help in tracking down a suspect in an August crash that killed three people in Capulin. Alexander "Alejandro" Quintana, 19, of Capulin, is wanted on suspicion of three counts of criminally negligent homicide for allegedly running in front of a truck Aug. 14 and causing it to swerve off the road. The truck, which was traveling at speeds over 90 mph through the small town, went off the road, hit a rock fence then rolled twice, taking out a pair of telephone poles, a tree and two parked cars. Ermidia Gonzales, 17, David Martinez, 28, and Jason Rousey, 29, were killed. All three were ejected from the vehicle during the accident. According to the affidavit for Quintana's warrant, he was in a separate car that had arrived earlier to Capulin and was waiting for his friends in the truck to arrive. When Quintana saw the truck coming into town, he allegedly told a witness "Watch this," and ran into the road. When another witness asked Quintana what he was doing in the road, he said he was just being stupid, according to the affidavit. Capt. George Dingfelder of the state patrol said investigators are unsure if Quintana remains in the area. An obituary for David Martinez listed Quintana as his brother, although the patrol could not confirm their kinship Friday. Anyone with information about Quintana's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 719-589-4111 or the patrol at 719-589-5807. Callers, who may remain anonymous, are eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 if they provide information leading to an arrest. Two juveniles also were seriously injured in the accident. One of them, who was later identified by authorities as the driver of the truck was arrested Sept. 22 and charged as a juvenile with three counts of vehicular homicide, three counts of manslaughter and single counts each of vehicular assault and reckless driving.

Her younger siblings were twins who died during their birth, along with her mother Edisia. When Fannie was a young girl, she traveled with her father and siblings by train from Walsenburg to Delta, Colo. There her father and siblings worked in the fields, as did Fannie, eventually. They resided in Delta and Olathe, Colo., before settling in Montrose, where she met and married Joe C. Martinez in 1939 at St. Mary Catholic Church.

When the kids were very young family moved to San Leandro, Calif., where Joe worked in the shipyards and Fannie worked in a factory. They eventually moved back to Telluride and Silverton, Colo., where Joe worked in the mines. When the kids were old enough to go to school family made Montrose their permanent home. Joe was a sheep shearer and worked in carpentry, and Fannie cleaned houses until retirement. Fannie had a natural vigor for life and loved to travel. She and Joe would travel to visit their children and grandchildren as well as other relatives. At times, Fannie traveled by herself to help care for grandchildren.

She volunteered at the MADA as a cook and dishwasher, and was an American Red Cross Volunteer at Montrose Memorial Hospital for ten years. She was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church.

She loved nature and it was important to her to walk everywhere she went, especially to the Pavilion where she enjoyed lunches with friends.

Martinez and Urioste resided in little houses in the rear of the Italian store on the west side of Salt Creek, just east of Pueblo; on the evening of last Thursday he was shot in the chest and found dead later by detectives and other officers who were called to the scene. Investigation by the officers, particularly Detective Baty, who has done much hard work on the case, revealed the information that there had been bad blood between Martinez and Urioste for some time, accusations that Martinez was paying too much attention to the wife of the other man, seemed to have become the source of much feeling, and finally Urioste packed his wife up and sent her away. About that time or a little before, the Martinez family decided to move away from the Urioste family, and had on the day of the killing been busily engaged in moving their household effects to another house on the other side of Salt Creek. Mrs. Martinez was arranging things at the new quarters and the last load of household stuff was on the wagon at the old place. Martinez being in the house probably after some forgotten article, when shots were heard in the house, and a moment later according to a statement made by a boy named Charles Coco, Urioste was seen running from the house and to wade the creek and disappear in the distance; this man has not been seen in the neighborhood since. Dr. Patterson who performed the autopsy, testified that the bullet grazed the left arm of the victim, passing into the chest and through the heart, and ranging downward, passed through the right lung and out at the back, making no larger hole at the exit than at the point of entrance, indicating that a steel nose or jacketed bullet had been used.

Martinez's relative and caregiver, Michael Richard Esquibel, 44, was indicted on charges of negligent serious bodily injury to an at-risk adult, third-degree assault on an at-risk adult and two counts of neglect of an at-risk adult. Esquibel is currently wanted on a warrant for failure to appear at a court hearing. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said Wednesday that Martinez's death is still under investigation and that his exact cause of death is pending results of an autopsy. Charlene Graham, chief of the Pueblo County Sheriff Office's law enforcement bureau, said Wednesday investigators will wait for autopsy results before deciding what action, if any, investigators will take in the case. Esquibel and Martinez were cousins. On Nov. 5, 2009, medical crews were called to Esquibel's East Side home after neighbors witnessed him carrying a sheet-covered body to a vehicle. The body was later identified as Martinez, who was found weighing only 60 pounds at the time. He also had a broken femur, severe bed sores, was severely dehydrated and had a "weak pulse, kidney failure, extreme malnourishment," the indictment said. Subsequently, the court appointed Martinez's legal guardianship to the ARC of Pueblo. Stephanie Garcia, executive director of the ARC, called Martinez "a fighter" but "he just couldn't fight anymore."

Reported dead by her husband to a local undertaker on Saturday; reported by neighbors as having left the city when told that her husband had tired of her; lead by Mrs. Gomez to be the victim of a foul lie and possibly murder for a small sum of money she possessed; father by the police to have left the city with a lover; the mystery which surrounds the case is one of the strangest which the local officials have had to deal with in a long time. They had, from Old Mexico recently, were strangers in a strange land, appeared to be simple, virtuous people and were thrifty. The husband worked steadily in Denver and they saved considerable money. Then the husband was robbed and lost part of his savings. When they came to Pueblo they had less than $100. The husband found employment at the smelter and worked a few days. The occupied rooms in the Mexican colony near the sink plant on Saturday the woman with whom they lived came to the smelter and informed the husband his wife had died suddenly. The grief crazed man was directed to make funeral arrangements and called at a local undertaking establishment. When the undertaker and the Mexican started to the place where the body of the dead woman was supposed to be the husband suddenly became bewildered and could not locate his home. Finally Mrs. Perl Gomez was called into the case. She spent most of Saturday afternoon in company with the husband seeking the house where the body was his wife was supposed to be. The request was vain, as with each failure to complete the search the husband became more and more distracted and confused. Finally he was placed in the care of a physician and a room was engaged for him on S. Union Ave. He remained at his room all day yesterday in a state of utter collapse Mrs. Gomez states that the woman with whom the Martinez couple lived told neighbors that she had informed Mrs. Martinez that Martinez had said he was tired of his wife and wanted her to leave. The story was told for a joke, but it is said that Mrs. Martinez took it seriously and left with her baby, saying the money they had would carry them far away to friends or relatives and her husband could have his freedom. The landlady claim she told Martinez that his wife had left with the baby, and not that his wife was dead. The shock of the information cause Martinez to particularly lose his mind, it is said, and he became imbued with a hallucination that his wife had died, and sought out the undertaker to make funeral arrangements. The police were called into the case last night and Detective Baty was assigned. From what evidence the police were able to gather, they thought possibly that Mrs. Martinez, who is young and pretty, had left with a lover. The police will try to locate the woman with whom the Martinez couple engaged rooms. Mrs. Gomez states that so far she can learn, Mrs. Martinez was a loving and dutiful wife, and does not believe that she deserted her husband. The husband is said to be almost irresponsible and does not seem able to understand anything except that his wife and baby are lost to him. He still believes that his wife is dead and that he cannot find the particular path or trail through the little Mexican settlement at Salt Creek that will lead him to the spot where the body is his wife is lying unburied.

Martinez, Salomer Salomer Martinez Pueblo Chieftain August 5, 1918 Mexican Shot and Is Not Expected to Live A shooting which took place on El Dorado Ave. near the intersection of that Ave. with the Denver and Rio Grande railroad tracks in Bessemer about 8 o'clock last night resulted in probable fatal injuries to one man, is a case the Police Department is endeavoring to solve. The wounded man, Salomer Martinez, 28 years of age, suffered a gunshot wound to the left side, the bullet severing the femoral artery. Martinez had suffered so great a loss of blood from the wound that he was nearly dead before the public ambulance, which, had been hurried to the scene, could reach the spot. Martinez was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital in what was believed to be a dying condition, and it was the opinion of the attending surgeon, Dr. Duke McLean, that the man's death was probably only a matter of hours. Details of the shooting are very meager. None could be found among the few persons who saw Martinez fall who would admit having seen the shots fired, and the injured man himself steadfastly refused to divulge any information whatever which might shed light on the case or revealed the identity of the man or men who are guilty of committing the deed. About all that has been learned of the case is that Martinez and two other Mexicans were seen shortly before the shooting walking along El Dorado Ave. Suddenly a shot was fired and Martinez fell to the ground with blood spurting from an ugly wound in the upper part of the left leg. The other two Mexicans were seen to be running south along the Rio Grande railroad tracks, but had disappeared before the arrival of officers. The case was reported to the police about 8:30 o'clock and the call was responded to by officers Weiner and Johnson, who, upon reaching the spot gave their attention first to the wounded man, rendering first aid in endeavoring to staunch the flow of blood, and then rushing him to a hospital. All parties to the shooting seem to be strangers to the police and to the local Mexican colony that where nearby when the shooting took place.

Martinez, Sipriano Sipriano Martinez - Pueblo Chieftain - February 27, 1917 - Mexican is Killed While Walking on Railroad Track - Unknown Man Struck By Engine Near Cedar Ridge Station On D. & R. G. Road - The remains of a Mexican, thought to be Sipriano Martinez, killed by a Denver and Rio Grande engine near the Cedar Ridge Station Sunday evening were brought to Pueblo yesterday and will be held at the Davis & Vories Undertaking parlors for a few days before interment with a view of further ascertaining his name and locating the relatives. But little is known of the accident further than the man was walking on the tracks and apparently did not hear the approaching train. The engine struck him, knocking his body for some distance and death was practically instantaneous. From several letters found on his body, it is though that his name is Martinez. No other marks of identification were found and no one at Cedar Ridge knew him. The accident happened about 38 miles from this city, and it is thought that the man was walking from the southern part of the state to Pueblo. Pueblo Chieftain - March 1, 1917 - The burial of Sipriano Martinez took place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from Davis & Vories Chapel. Interment was in Roselawn. Martinez, Stephanie Brianne Stephanie Brianne Martinez - Pueblo Chieftain - February 4, 2012 - Judge denies sentence reduction request - A Pueblo woman who has served 10 years of a 48-year prison term for the death of a 5-year-old girl was denied a reduction to her sentence Friday. Clenteen Sue Williams, 61, maintains the only thing she did wrong in the death of Stephanie Brianne Martinez was not seek medical treatment sooner for burns the child suffered to her buttocks, backs of her legs and feet. Martinez died New Year's Eve, 2002, five days after she was burned. Investigators said the burns weren't the only injuries the child suffered and that there was evidence of bruising throughout her body. On Friday, Deputy District Attorney Bob Case reminded the court that more than 100 separate injuries were documented during Martinez's autopsy. Williams pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse resulting in death in exchange for the dismissal of first-degree murder. She was sentenced by then-District Judge Rosalie Vigna. Williams is eligible for parole in 2023. District Judge Jill Mattoon confirmed Williams' sentence after hearing more than two hours of testimony. Williams told the court Friday she has languished in the Denver Women's Correctional Facility since 2003. Her health failing, Williams said she's now confined to a wheelchair and oxygen tanks and that her days on Earth are numbered. "I have one lung left and that one's not all that good," Williams said. "My son doesn't want to hear it but he's here today so he has to. I'm going fast, but it's Jehovah's will." Williams' family attended the hearing and a number of them testified, telling Mattoon that Williams' absence has been a burden on the family and that her personality and character is that of a loving caregiver. But Case continued to drive home the circumstances of the child's death, asking family members in turn whether they witnessed Williams beating any of the seven children in the home with belts or electric cords, something Case said Williams admitted to police. The family said they never saw any signs of abuse in the home. Williams continued to maintain that Martinez scalded herself when she turned the water on in her bath. "I will go to my grave telling you the same thing; that I didn't burn Stephanie in the bathtub," she said. "I'm guilty of not getting medical treatment." Williams told the court she continues to dwell on the death and blames herself. Martinez was stepsister to Williams' grandson and she was caring for the girl because her mother was in prison. Williams said that during her own time in prison, she has taken what classes she can and is looked up to by other inmates, some of whom wrote letters of support to Mattoon. She said she works part time as a unit clerk and tries to keep in touch with her family. Public Defender Kelle Thomas argued that Vigna said she imposed the maximum sentence, in part, to create a deterrent. But other cases with similar charges have resulted in different deals and offers. In one case, Jeff Casias was offered a deal that would have capped his prison term at 20 years, Thomas said. Casias rejected the deal and was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison for the death of his daughter. In another case, Kevin Buehler, who was charged in the death of his infant cousin, agreed to a deal that capped his prison term at 32 years. "The maximum sentence as a deterrent is clearly in conflict with what has happened in this jurisdiction since," Thomas said. But Case argued that his biggest problem is that Williams continues to refuse to take full responsibility for Martinez's death. Case also noted that the evidence suggested Martinez was tortured and abused over a long period of time. He invoked the child abuse case against James Joseph Dall, who was convicted of child abuse and sex assault on a child. While his victim wasn't killed, Dall was sentenced to 75 years to life in prison. "What we're hearing today is the same denials, the same stories and the same lies that Judge Vigna heard from this defendant and other witnesses," Case said. Mattoon ruled that the facts of the case and evidence suggesting that the child was intentionally scalded "far outweighed" any good behavior by Williams in prison or her advancing illness and discomfort now. "It isn't even in the same ballpark," she said.

Survivors include daughter, Angela Treece; grandchildren Shirley (Kino) Treece-Herrera, Stacie Arambula, Melissa Torres and Frank Hernandez and great-grandchildren Peter Herrera, Tony Herrera, John Rodriguez, Angelica Herrera, Marisol Herrera, Tyler Arambula, Celene Torres and Christian Torres. A private memorial service was held Monday, August 27 at Church of God & Christ Jesus Walsenburg. Viola Martinez was a strong woman who led a full life with many interests and hobbies. Born in Walsenburg in 1927, Viola was the oldest of five children. Due to her father's illness, Viola lived with her grandparents, which is where she acquired her love for animals and country life. Although she did not reside in the same home as her other brother and sisters, the family was still close and they spent many hours growing up together. When Viola was 19, she met and later married her husband John Martinez. After their marriage, they purchased land in the outskirts of Walsenburg and began their small ranch. During her marriage to John, she had two children, Shirley Ann and Angela. Viola had many tragic events occur in her life. One of them was the death of her daughter Shirley Ann in a terrible car accident in 1972. Her husband John passed away before his time in 1982 due to illness. She also survived the passing of all of her brothers and sisters. Despite these events, Viola still remained true to her faith in God and never let anything waiver her belief. After John passed away, Viola continued to maintain their small ranch with help from her remaining daughter Angela, her son-in-law at the time, John, and her brother-in-law, Pete. Although Viola worked extremely hard at the ranch, she still found time to visit sick friends in the hospital and nursing homes. She also spent time cultivating a wide variety of hobbies and interests. She had an innate ability to turn rocks into works of art. To Viola, a simple rock could be transformed into a dog, a turtle, or some other animal. She was able to make elaborate pictures out of scraps of cloth and landscapes of scenes with just rocks and paint. She had a gift for free form painting and sketching as well. Visitors to her house were amazed at her creativity. She was a lively grandmother and would visit her local grandchildren and great-grandchildren, often. They spent time together playing games, learning how to cook her magnificent dishes, hearing stories, making paper dolls, and roaming the hills of her property. In her later years, Viola became extremely interested in genealogy. She spent hours researching her heritage and traveling to various libraries in order to find out more about her ancestors. Unfortunately, she was not able to continue her research due to the loss of her eyesight. The last few years of her life, Viola struggled with many health issues. Despite these issues, she still held on to her strong belief in God. In the end, despite her strength and her beliefs, her medical ailments overcame her. Viola passed away peacefully after a heart breaking stretch of pain and illness on the morning of August 22. Viola will always be remembered for her strength, creativity, intelligence, and strong spirit. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Mascarenas, Selena Selena Mascarenas - Pueblo Chieftain - May 5, 2012 - Suspect's fiancιe defends him in crash that killed 3 - Flowers, balloons and get-well cards adorn Jordyn Carrillo's room at Parkview Medical Center. The 13-year-old Roncalli Middle School student reclined in bed Friday with bruises, stitches on her head and a broken femur and hip. Her left hand also is fractured. In the room with her were her mother, Tessa Carrillo, and two young children of the man accused of speeding on a Pueblo street, running a red light and crashing into a car that killed three teenage girls from Alamosa a week ago. Jordyn and her best friend, Jade Dorrance, 14, were riding in the bed of the truck driven by Gilbert O. Sanchez, 36, of Pueblo at the time of the accident about 9 p.m. Both were ejected in the collision. Jordyn said Friday that her own injuries are the last thing on her mind. "I am truly sorry for them (Alamosa teens). Every time I think of it, I just cry" she said, taking deep breaths as she spoke. Anisa Montoya, 18, Serina Sena, 14, and Selena Mascarenas, 14, died at the scene of the crash. Tessa Carrillo, who is engaged to Sanchez, said she had not seen Sanchez drinking on the day of the accident. "He is not the one to drink and drive, so this threw me for a shock," she said. "He is a great man. He does well with his kids," she said, pointing to Sanchez's two kids sitting in the hospital room. "He is an all-around good person. He made a bad decision and choice." Jordyn said she, Jade and Sanchez were on their way to buy some dog food at a store. They were leaving from visiting Sanchez's young son. "We held on to the truck and I had my arm around her, then I blacked out after we hit the car. I remember laying in the middle of the road and a man named Robert helped me, and he called my mom," Jordyn recalled. Jordyn said her main concern after the crash was Jade. ''I kept asking, 'Where's my sister, where's my sister?' "Jordyn said."They told me she had to fly up to Denver. We've been friends for nine years." Tessa Carrillo said when she received a phone call about the crash she did not believe the caller. "I thought they were playing with me. Everything was fine . . . It was just a shock," Tessa Carrillo said. Jordyn said the three teens have no reason to be dead right now. "They did not do anything wrong and I am truly sorry for their families," she said. Jordyn also expressed concern for Jade, who she considers a sister. "I talked to her on the phone two days ago before she went into surgery. I really miss her," Jordyn said. "She asked what was wrong with me and I told her. She said she was hurt too, but then she had to go." Jade is recovering at Denver Health Medical Center. She remained in stable condition Friday. Tessa Carrillo said Jordyn is making great strides with her condition. ''She is beyond a fighter. I told her the other night that I'd give all the money in the world to take her place, not to see her hurt. She told me, 'No mom.' ''I asked, 'Why?' and she said, 'Because you are not as strong as I am.' "Tessa Carrillo said she has talked with Sanchez since the accident and he is deeply apologetic."He's such a kind-hearted man. He is having a really difficult time dealing with what has happened. He sends his sympathy and condolences and his apologies," Tessa Carrillo said. "He said he can't apologize enough to the families in Alamosa." Tessa Carrillo said he wants to apologize to Jade and her family as well. "I don't know the feeling of losing a child . . . My heart goes out to them," she said. Tessa Carrillo said she has received several tormenting phone calls since the crash. "They have told me that I am the worst mother in the world and so many other things," she said as she wept. "We are all just trying to heal. I wish people wouldn't judge so quick." "I would do anything to take that day back." She also apologized to the community. "A lesson should be learned. Don't drink and drive," she said. Pueblo Chieftain - May 4, 2012 - Woman extends helping hand to families of victims - Becky Vialpando twice has received the dreaded news of fatal wrecks. One took her husband nine years ago. Her grown son died in another wreck four years ago. She continues healing those losses by helping others trying to cope with the same loss. As founder of the Ride to Give foundation, Vialpando has orchestrated numerous fundraisers for families in grief and in need. She'll host another one at 1 p.m. Sunday at Joey's Pixie Inn, 440 S. Santa Fe Ave., to help the Alamosa families of three teenage girls killed last weekend in a crash at Northern Avenue and Pueblo Boulevard. The event will include chile-smothered burrito plates (two burritos and rice) for $8, continuous entertainment and a raffle and live auction of donated items. Take-out meals will be available. Local guitarist Ray Peralta will kick off an open acoustics session for all musicians who'd like to play. The auction will be around 2 p.m. "We'll go until it's done -- as long as people want to eat and play," Vialpando said. She had just heard about the triple-fatal accident when one of her board members called and asked her if the foundation could help the families of the girls. By evening, this weekend's event was in the planning. "I found out they were from Alamosa and I just kind of put myself in that position, having been through it, and knew those families can't be prepared to do funerals," Vialpando said. "Doing this is just in me. I take it as God's reason for taking my man. I had so many people there to help me through my losses and the feeling that I get in my heart for helping someone else is just tremendous.''

Pueblo Chieftain March 11, 1919 Donald Masters Was Killed by a German Shell on August 29 Donald Masters, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Masters, 906 E. 5th St., was reported several months ago as missing in action since August 29. All these weeks, the family has maintained a steady hope that he would later be found and reported alive. Yesterday, however, they received word from the Red Cross headquarters in Wash., D. C. that he was killed in action on August 29. The Red Cross learned from a member of his company some of the details of the death of the Pueblo soldier boy. It was a stormy night and rain was falling hard in the Toul sector where the Regiment was located on the firing line. About 4 o'clock in the morning, a German Shell struck Masters and killed him instantly. His body was buried nearby. Donald Masters was 32 years old and was a boilermaker by trade. Previous to entering the war service he was employed at the Pueblo smelter. He left Pueblo October 3, 1917 for Camp Funston and later sent to Camp Kearney from which camp he was sent overseas. Besides his parents he is survived by three sisters residing in Pueblo. They are Mrs. Mabel Williams, Mrs. Clyde Kendel, and Miss Maude Masters. Also two nieces, Mrs. J. W. Johnson and Mrs. Joe Morton. His sister, Mrs. Williams, submits the following poem, the author anonymous, expressing the sentiment a sister feels at the loss of a soldier brother. My Brother's Stars Our little blue star has been changed to gold, But it means all the world to me. It means my brother a hero died In the battle o'er the sea. The blue means his heart was noble, Fearless and brave and true; The gold means you died, dear brother, For the Red, the White, and the Blue. And though our hearts are lonely, We know you died not in vain; You died for the cause of the righteous, That peace and justice might reign. And when the boys come home again, Your face we will not see; But the gold in your star will be dearer by far, Than all the world to me. But the gold in your star shines brighter, In a beautiful heavenly place, Where we'll all be gathered together, And behold your shining face. Your face all shining with glory, The reward of your work well done, When the cares of today have all passed away, And our Savior calls us home. Note: Donald Masters was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia.

Mather, Charles Charles Chuck Mather - Rocky Mountain News - August 31, 2006 - A Colorado Department of Transportation worker was killed Wednesday morning when a tractor-trailer plowed into a road surfacing crew on Interstate 25. Charles "Chuck" Mather, 34, of Beulah was pronounced dead at St. Mary Corwin hospital in Pueblo Wednesday. He had been working for CDOT since June 2005. His wife, Leena, 39, is expecting their first child in November. Four other people, including another CDOT worker, were also injured in the accident, which closed northbound I-25 at Walsenburg for much of the day. Traffic was diverted at Walsenburg and I-25 had been expected to be reopened at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The incident happened at 10:45 a.m. in the northbound lanes of I-25, at mile marker 72, two miles south of Colorado City. Robin L. Kirkland, 35, of Pueblo, was driving a white 2000 Freightliner tractor-trailer loaded with 20 tons of rock. He was in the passing lane northbound on I-25 when he rear-ended a white 1996 Toyota pickup truck driven by Bette J. Waitman, 68, of Cheyenne. The semi, while partially on top of the pickup n veered into the right lane, hitting Mather, who was operating a rototilling machine. Another CDOT worker, Gerald "Jerry" Buchanan, 48, of Boone, barely escaped by leaping off the side of the roadway, falling about 50 feet into a creek bed below. "He has two shattered ankles as the result of jumping from a bridge to avoid the collision," said Stegman. Buchanan was listed in fair condition at Peakview Medical Center Wednesday. Three other members of the CDOT crew were unhurt. Waitman and her husband, Jerry J. Waitman, 70, suffered minor injuries and were treated at St. Mary Corwin hospital. "We haven't had one of our employees injured or killed (in a cone zone incident) since December 2004," said Stegman. "It's unique for a car to crash through a work zone." "This is another needless tragedy on Colorado's highways," said Bob Torres, CDOT regional director. "These crashes are preventable if drivers would just slow down and use extra caution when driving near highway workers. The people working on our roadways are mothers, fathers, brothers and friends. Today is a very sad day knowing that an unborn child will never know its father." Mather is the 24th CDOT employee killed in a work zone since 1951. It was not known Wednesday whether speed, alcohol or drugs were factors, or whether Kirkland, who was also treated for minor injuries at St. Mary Corwin hospital, would be charged with any violations. Randall and Kathleen Engel, of Beulah, are listed as the owners of the semi, according to Colorado State Patrol spokesman Gilbert Mares. Randall Engel said Wednesday night that the tractor-trailer was being driven from Trinidad to Beulah, but declined to comment about the accident, other than to say Kirkland had worked for him for a long time, and that he "was a very good driver." Wednesday, Mather's family was struggling to deal with the loss. "I'm still trying to come out of the shock," said Mather's father, Larry Mather, 60, of Pueblo. "I didn't expect it, especially losing his mother a year and half ago. She had bad lungs, so we knew that was coming. But this was 100 percent unexpected." Chuck Mather, born in a suburb of Detroit, grew up in Pueblo, graduating from Coney High School in 1989. He worked for a small drywalling company for a few years before it went out of business. He then worked for M. Cline Construction in Pueblo for 12 years before taking a job with CDOT last year. "He loved his job with CDOT," said his father. "He loved the people he worked with. It was the best job he had. He liked the people and the way they did business." Larry Mather said his son was aware of the dangers of his job. "It was something that he always worried about because of the drivers," said his father. Chuck Mather married five years ago, and was anticipating the birth of his first child. He enjoyed hunting elk, deer, antelope and pheasant with friends. "He was a good son and a good brother," said Larry Mather. "He was an incredibly hard worker and he was more than well-liked." Services are pending. In addition to his wife and father, Chuck Mather is survived by two sisters, Louanne Mather of Mount Clemens, Mich., and Cheryl Mather of Pueblo, and a brother, Matthew Mather of Eastpointe, Mich. He was preceded in death by his mother, Phyllis Mather, in May 2005. Pueblo Chieftain - April 25, 2012 - Distraction kills, CDOT reminds motorists - Leena Mather remembered losing her husband on Aug. 30, 2006, cautioning Tuesday that "You know that it can happen in the blink of an eye." That's all it took for a semi-trailer driver trying to avoid rear-ending a car to strike Charles Mather, 34, while he and other members of a Colorado Department of Transportation crew were repaving a bridge on Interstate 25 near Colorado City. Mrs. Mather and her 5-year-old son, Chuckie, joined other relatives of highway workers killed on the job for the Colorado Department of Transportation's eighth annual Remembrance Day held Tuesday at the CDOT facility on Pueblo's East Side. It was one of nine ceremonies held statewide that were attended by state highway commissioners and honored each region's losses. But it also was a time to spread the word about safety. A great deal of focus at Tuesday's event was on distractions that are blamed for many of the accidents in work zones. Gilbert Ortiz Sr., who represents the Pueblo area on the commission, offered a personal story about a trip he was making with his wife. When she reached for a ringing cellphone and veered across a lane, he said the couple decided right then to turn off their cellphones whenever they're on the road. "Turn off your cellphones," Ortiz said. "Pay attention to what's going on around you. People can leave you a message." He added that motorists should give themselves extra time when traveling. "Leave 20 minutes early. Leave 10 minutes early." CDOT Commissioner Les Gruen, who represents El Paso County, told the gathering of family members and CDOT employees that 58 workers have died since 1929, but "we are blessed this year, the number of names remains the same." The most recent death in this region was that of David J. Valdez, who was killed in a dark irony during National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week. He was struck by a truck driven by a fellow worker. On Tuesday, officials stressed that motorists are the biggest worry, especially people who are distracted by phones, eating or even the radio. Drivers also are at risk. It's estimated that 85 percent of fatalities in work zone accidents are drivers or their passengers. Colorado State Patrol Capt. Brian Lyons, said that last year in Colorado there were 830 work-zone crashes, resulting in 10 deaths and 96 injuries. A number of states have banned the use of hand-held phones, but Colorado has stopped short, restricting their use by drivers younger than 18 years old. Ortiz said he'd like to see a full ban in Colorado. "I think it's a great idea," he said. Gruen agreed with reservations. "It's debatable that we have any muscle," he said. "I'm not sure what impact we have, but we'd be hard-pressed not to support that kind of legislation." To help motorists plan ahead, CDOT is offering a free email and text message service that gives updates on road conditions, construction projects and other CDOT news. Signing up can be completed on the CDOT website. Those honored from the Pueblo region along with Mather and Valdez were Charles J. West, 1951; Dekalb Arthur, 1952; Willard W. Hunter, 1960; Henry Kahl, 1967; Wray N. Roth, 1968; Jerome H. Falk, 1976; Milton Walling, 1995. Mather, Larry C. Larry C. "The Beav" Mather - Pueblo Chieftain - January 4, 2012 - Larry C. "The Beav" Mather, 65, passed away Jan. 1, 2012. He was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis, in 2005; son, Charles; and father, Floyd. Larry is survived by his mother, Shirley; children, Louann (Greg) Vallerio, Matt (Marie) Mather, Cheryl Mather; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren; siblings, Keith Mather, Betty Michelotti; and daughter-in-law, Leena Mather. Larry was the owner of The Beav's Outdoor Power Equipment in Pueblo West for many years and a member of Eagles Lodge in Pueblo West. He enjoyed riding his Harley, golfing, karaoke and four-wheeling.

Mathews, John John Mathews Pueblo Chieftain March 6, 1919 Boyhood Friend of Lincoln Dies Here John Mathews, one of the oldest residents of Pueblo, died yesterday morning at his home, 839 Van Buren avenue, about 9:30 o'clock. For several months, in fact ever since he had influenza in the winter, Mr. Mathews has been in poor health, but his death came as a shock to his host of friends.

Mattie, Albert Albert Mattie - Trinidad Times Independent - August 30, 2011 - Albert Mattie, Store clerk, World War II veteran - On Nov. 8, 1925, Albert Mattie was the ninth of 10 children born to Giuseppe and Jennie Mattie at the family home in Segundo. Albert departed this life to enter the kingdom of God on Aug. 24, 2011. Together with his sister, Lucy, his brother, Joe Jr. and his sister-in-law, Clara, many nieces and nephews and his many friends are left to cherish his memory. Preceding him in death were his parents, Giuseppe and Jenny, and his siblings; Mary, Rose, Arthur, Josie, Anne, Ernest, and Sam. The following brothers- and sisters-in-law have also gone before him; Bob Tapia (Rose), Pino Carnelli (Josie), Howard Birchler (Anne), Frances Mattie (Sam), and Conrad Pelletier (Lucy). Except for his service to his country in World War II where, because of his size, he was initially a turret gunner on a bomber in the Army Air Corp and later, a supply clerk, Albert lived his entire life in Segundo. There he cultivated many lifelong and lasting friendships and etched his place in the memory and hearts of many through his community involvement, sense of humor, genuine concern for others, and his overall good nature. Since 2009, Albert has lived at Trinidad Nursing Home where his personality continued to shine through, endearing him to the staff and other residents. For more than 50 years, Albert worked at the Segundo store, first for the Hadad family, then for his dear friend, Nick Ringo Jr. Even after his retirement he was known to frequent the store on a regular basis to supervise as necessary and help make the sausage. A devout Catholic, Albert's participation in and ownership for the St. Ignatius Church in Segundo was unparalleled. He is best remembered for his elaborate Christmas decorations, singing in the choir with his friend, Ercelia, and his general propensity to take charge of church business to get things done. Albert was an alumnus of Primero High School and a great supporter of anything black and orange. With some of his friends he formed the original booster club and actively supported the Bulldogs in many wild and creative ways. In later years he directed that same enthusiasm toward the Kennedy Community Center and the many programs it offered, especially ceramics. As a confirmed bachelor, his ability to dance the jitterbug and ice skate with his friends at the Primero ponds was surpassed only by his ability to cook pasta and bake. Albert was known to always try a new recipe and test it out on his family at the many holiday dinners he prepared for them. However, he is best remembered for his baking, especially traditional Italian holiday cookies and wedding cakes. In the final analysis, nothing better can be said in summation of Albert's life; except that he was a faithful and dutiful servant of God, and a friend to everyone. Funeral Mass was Monday, Aug. 29, 2011, at Holy Trinity Church. Entombment followed at the Trinidad Catholic Cemetery with graveside services conducted by the U.S Army Honor Guard. Active pallbearers were Jimmy Ringo, Gary Ringo, Danny Mattie, Dennis Pelletier, David Mattie and Jack Potter.

Mavrogeorges, George George Mavrogeorges - 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.

Mr. Mayes was born in Denton County, Texas, on April 4, 1876; he was the son of George P. and Mary Ann Mayes and was left fatherless at the age of 9 years. He married Miss Nona Kendrick at Plano, Texas, on November 8, 1906, and 14 months later moved to Colorado and bought the ranch which is now known as Cuchara Camps. Twenty years ago mountain camps were not so plentiful, and Mr. Mayes conceived the idea of gradually building up a rustic resort for people of moderate means. The place grew, people bought lots and built summer homes, until a population of several hundred people can be accredited to the place now during the summer months. In recent years the family has moved into town during the winter on account of schooling facilities. Less than two years ago, Pat, one of the twin boys, was taken from them. Mr. Mayes contracted pneumonia about ten days before his death.

McAliney - Pueblo Chieftain October 20, 1919 F. R. McAliney Dies at Home in This City Popular Citizen Passes Away Following a Lingering Illness Frances R. McAliney , one of Colorado's ablest lawyers and most eloquent orators, died at the family home in this city at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the age of 61 years. Mr. McAliney had been in failing health for more than a year, but the seriousness of his condition was not fully realized by the members of his family until a few days before the end. Strenuous work for several years on the government war boards, during which time he practically closed his law office, overtaxed him physically and hastened the end, in the opinion of his friends. Mr. McAliney was born at Alton, Ill. Early in life he took up the study of law, graduating from Blackburn College. He practiced his profession in Chicago and St. Louis, and later in Kan. for a time. Thirty years ago he came to Pueblo and 5 years later was married to Miss Mahar, who survives him. He is also survived by 3 daughters, Mrs. Katherine Loveland of Denver, and the Misses Margaret and Anna. Frank R. McAliney was one of those whole-souled, bighearted men with whom it is considered a social asset to be acquainted. He was public spirited and liberal, and always active in public and charitable matters. Among the lawyers of the state he was classed as a man of high legal ability, strong and upright character; he was known as one of the most eloquent speakers in the courts or on the rostrums of Colo. though always active in matters political, he was not a seeker for office preferring to assist others in reaching their points of ambition. In state, county, district and national conventions he was often an imposing figure, and though a loyal Democrat, he was liberal in his political and social views. Several times Mr. McAliney held the position of president of the Pueblo County Bar Association, was at one time city attorney of Pueblo, and at the time of his death was serving his second term as Pueblo County's legal advisor. During his practice of law in Pueblo, Mr. McAliney was for a time associated with such able legal men as J. J. McFeely, A. W. Arrington, and the late Judge J. E. Rizer, prior to that gentleman's occupancy of the district bench. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and at one time was grand knight of the local council of that order. Also a member of the Elks and other lodges of this city. Mr. McAliney was a man of magnificent physique, and was truly a big man mentally and socially, such a man as will be sorely missed in the city and the state. The body is being cared for by McCarthy's; funeral will take place at 8:30 Tuesday morning from the residence, 10 Block T, and at St. Patrick's Church at 9 o'clock. Pueblo Chieftain October 21, 1919 The funeral of the late F. R. McAliney will take place this morning 8:30 from the residence, 10 Block T, and at 9 o'clock from St. Patrick's Church. Rev. Father Barry will say mass for the dead. The burial will be at Roselawn in charge of McCarthy's.

McAnnally, John John McAnnally - Pueblo Chieftain January 15, 1918 Provide A Fitting Burial for Aged Southern Soldier Four years service in the Army of the Confederacy and devotion to the "lost cause" induced a number of southern people in Pueblo to provide a funeral befitting a brave soldier for John McAnnally who died at the poor farm. McAnnally who was born in Ireland and immigrated to Louisiana, joined the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. He was a typical "un-reconstructed rebel" and although an inmate of the county farm here for eight years, was well known to hundreds of Puebloans. Southerners interested themselves in his behalf to the extent that a popular subscription was started to provide a fitting funeral for the man who had fought bravely in the civil war. Many prominent Puebloans subscribed to the fund and the funeral at 10 o'clock this morning will be impressive. The Magnolia wreath, emblematic of the South and the Confederacy, will be laid on the casket and two Confederate flags with the flag of the United States will be draped about the casket. Interment will be in Roselawn under the direction of the Whiton Mortuary Association. Mrs. Henry Jones will sing and friends of McAnnally will attend, among them the southern women who were largely responsible for arranging the funeral. McAnnally was 76 years old.

McAvoy, John E. John E. McAvoy - Denver Evening Post - January 1, 1899 - Passed Out - John McEvoy's Meteoric Career Ended in a Mad House - The life story of John E. McEvoy was a brief chapter of ups and downs, luck and ill luck, fortunes made one day and lost the next. His ignis fatuus was the turf and John McEvoy followed it with a passion and faithfulness above that for woman. McEvoy died yesterday at the state insane asylum at Pueblo, an occupant of a cell that to his mind was encrusted with diamonds. Through all his hallucinations he clung to the vision of one horse, the fiery, seemingly untamed Cap Reese, with which in his gem-walled room he won the Futurity, and Suburban and came under the wire first in the Brooklyn handicap. It was Cap Reese that made him lose his mind and Cap Reese was the indirect cause of his death. The proudest of his string of racers, the brown horse played him false at last and McEvoy never recovered. For two years he has been confined in the asylum for the insane. Known from Chicago to San Francisco, McEvoy was a type of the West. The news of his death, while not unexpected, will cause recollections of the man to return to every horseman from the great lakes to the Pacific coast, for on every track of prominence he had been a familiar figure. His home was in Denver and here his friends and former partners remain - Bob Austin, John W. Murphy, Joe Gavin, Bat Masterson and Frank Dale. He was never deserted by them, they made frequent trips to Pueblo, saw that his family needed nothing and are now rendering him a last service in making arrangements for his funeral. John Murphy is the man who made McEvoy and this is the story of how it was accomplished: He struck Denver in 1879, says Mr. Murphy, and making his acquaintance I introduced him to Matt Finehart, who was then managing my place, Murphy's Exchange. Needing some one to operate my roadhouse at the Soda Springs, four miles from Leadville, I offered the position to McEvoy and it was accepted. He had come to Colorado from Omaha, where he had been engaged in his occupation of a steamfitter. He was born in Rockford, Ill., in 1850, and learned his trade in Chicago. After managing the roadhouse for a year or so he went to the Coeur d'Alene country and Salt Lake City, but shortly afterward returned to Colorado. His start with horses was made in 1883 when I placed him in charge of a famous horse I then owned, Chantilla, who won the derby at the first year of racing at Overland Park. The horse made the fastest mile ever recorded at the track when a 2-year-old, making it in 1:42 on the half-mile track. I sold Chantilla afterward in New Orleans. When 13 years old the horse was entered in a race for aged horses at Sheepshead and won it. In his day but one or two horses could beat him. The well-remembered Irish Pat did it once in Chicago when by a fraction of a nose he won the race. The judges took twenty minutes to decide it and I lost $25,000 as a result of their decision. McEvoy went to Nashville and other places in the South with my stable and, in all, worked for me up to 1889 when I gave him a ten years' lease on the exchange. It was that that made him. Up to that time he had no money. Many a time I purchased meal tickets for him and practically kept him. Frank Dale took the lease with him and both got 25 per cent of the receipts. In less than three years he was rated at $110,000, the major portion of which was made in 1892. It was when Denver was the liveliest city in the West and one month's profits alone footed up to $120,000. In addition to 25 per cent of the receipts McEvoy was paid $7 a day for dealing. Gambling was summarily stopped in Denver in 1892 and McEvoy bought a stable of horses led by Cap Reese, McLight and Mary S. McLight was a royal-bred horse, a chestnut sorrel stallion. He was purchased from Curley Shields of California, a partner of Jim Carlisle, and, by the way, I saw the horse but two months ago. He is 8 years old and is now the possession of a horseman named Randall, who owns 'Ostler Joe. McLight is at Deer Lodge, Mont., where the state penitentiary is located. He is an opium fiend, and has nearly lost all life. His former owners 'doped' him with opiates and he has never recovered from the dose. A strange coincidence is it not, between the horse, half crazy in the shadow of a penitentiary, and its former master insane in an asylum? After he had purchased this string McEvoy went to San Francisco. The stable was secured from Shields and equally interested was Frank Dale. Cap. Reese made more money than did McLight, but the Reese horse was as vicious a racer as any racer I have ever seen. Because of his peculiar temper he had to be saddled in his stall instead of in the paddock. This was against all track rules, and because of it we were barred from many races. McEvoy's luck began to turn when he went to Chicago in 1893 to see the World's Fair. The best poker players in the country were gathered there, and it was only natural that the horseman should form one of a pleasant little party. He dropped something like $40,000 in one brief game, but he never whimpered. Everything with him kept going back until he was jobbed two years ago. It was the race of the meet at the Bay District track, San Francisco. Odds were 6 to 1 on Cap. Reese and McEvoy stood to win, should his horse be successful, over $200,000. It was afterwards ascertained that his jockey had been bribed to pocket Cap. Reese by pulling him, but the Denver man was almost ruined when the brown horse finished second with mouth open and bloody. Paresis, softening of the brain, call it what you will, set in. McEvoy was insane. He wrote me a few days afterwards probably the last intelligent words he ever penned. The letter was to the effect that he had been jobbed. Shortly after that he backed McLight to the tune of $30,000 when any sane man with half an eye could see that the stallion had no earthly chance of winning. Then he would rise early every morning and rouse the stable boys, commanding them to bring forth his horses in order to allow him to inspect them by lantern light. At races he would rush excitedly to the book makers offering to bet $4,000,000 to $20,000,000 on this or that horse. Tom Mulqueen and Wyatt Earp telegraphed to Dale that McEvoy was crazy. Dale went to San Francisco and brought him back. This will be two years ago next February. He left a little property, some cash and a house, where a mother, a sister and nephew reside and from where the funeral will be held. Well, there is not much to add. Cap Reese, McLight and Mary S. were sold for big prices. There was one thing about him - he was a splendid loser. Many a time when he has lost his last cent he would rise from the table with a laugh. On his horses he sunk over $50,000. Poker playing dissipated the rest of his fortune. He was liberal to a fault. He wanted a manager to be always behind him. Strange, too, for he was level headed, a deep-thinker and had a reputation from Chicago to 'Frisco for being a dry joker. May heaven pardon him! Yes, said Bob Austin, he was a thorough sportsman, well loved by all his friends. His only fault was that he played off in reckless betting everything he got hold of. Poor John McEvoy! He had a sad ending after such a meteoric career.

They married in 1939, and settled in Pueblo, where George Jr. worked with his father, George F. Sr., at the George McCarthy Funeral Home. Along with their son, Michael, they briefly relocated to Kokomo at the end of World War II, then returned again to Pueblo to stay. A second son, Jeffrey, was born in Kokomo.

A quiet and unassuming person, like other women of her generation, she often wondered aloud what she had 'accomplished' in life, never understanding the powerful effect of her love on everybody it touched. In her own modest way, she truly was the heart of her family. She was a beautiful, strong and selfless woman and her family will miss her more than any of their words could ever say.

"He died of hunger, I guess," remarked Sgt. Gar McCafferty, who detained the man at the police station when he appeared at the desk sergeant's window Wednesday afternoon and asked that he be given a place to rest. The man has been a resident of Pueblo for many years. He gave his occupation as a sheepherder, but those who know him say he has not been on the range since the early nineties when he worked spasmodically for sheep raisers in different parts of the state. For several years he has been "on the county." Several different times he has been taken to the county farm only to grow dissatisfied and leave. When he came into the station Wednesday afternoon he stated that he was suffering from fever. The authorities at the farm announced they would receive him and he was rushed to the institution where he died yesterday. Several days without anything to eat, old age, and a "don't-care-if-I-do" attitude are said to be the causes of his death. McCarthy, Margaret M. Margaret M.

McClurg, Frank Frank McClurg - Daily Rocky Mountain News - March 2, 1873 - Pueblo - Poor Frank - In the rush of excitement, and whirl of speculation over corner lots, the unseen agent makes his presence felt now and then by quietly plucking some victim out (of) the motley throng. On Thursday last the mortal remains of poor Frank McClurg were conveyed to their last resting place. Frank was not a distinguished individual; he never occupied offices of official or public trust; he dabbled not in politics, and was insensible to the attractions of Credit Mobiler stock; but the causes and lingering manner of his death are invested with just romance and pathos enough to warrant a passing paragraph. Frank was a cattle herder by occupation, and for months past had been in the employ of Hardesty & Bro., a firm of heavy cattle dealers, who hold forth down the river at or near Fort Aubrey. On the first of December last, Frank undertook to break in one of those excrescences of horse flesh known as a broncho. The brute reared, pawed the air wildly with its fore legs, and then fell over backward, falling upon Frank and breaking his left leg in two places above the ankle. The boys at once made up a purse and sent the wounded man to Pueblo for medical treatment. Arriving here the patient was placed under the care of Dr. P. R. Thombs, a physician of considerable experience and fair reputation. The doctor examined the leg carefully, and finally gave it as his opinion that it could not be saved, and advised amputation at once. Frank protested against this course of treatment, and at first absolutely refused to submit to an operation, saying that he had no desire to live with only one pin, and that he would push on to Denver rather than submit to the knife. The amputation scheme was abandoned, and the doctor devoted his skill to saving the leg; but mortification soon set in and Frank's case was hopeless. At last, when reduced in flesh and weak from the protracted pain, Frank consented to part with his cherished member; but it was too late. The medical authorities decided that the patient could not survive an operation, and during the last days nothing was done but to lead Frank's footsteps down to the grave as easily as possible. He died in the possession of all his faculties, and was full of grit to the last. The brothers of the unfortunate man - one of whom resides at Austin, Mo. - were telegraphed, but did not arrive in time to witness the closing scene and Frank breathed his last surrounded by strangers. The funeral services were held by the Rev. E. L. Greene, the new pastor of the Episcopal church, and were listened to with much attention by all present. The parents of the deceased reside in Virginia, and the body, will, doubtless, be sent there for interment. McCluskey, Michael W. Michael W. McCluskey - Pueblo Chieftain - June 4, 2014 - Michael W.

McDonald, Frank Frank McDonald Rocky Mountain News August 12, 1883 Frank McDonald Suicides in Old Pueblo Sensational Cutting at Pueblo Pueblo, Aug. 11 At 1 o'clock this morning Frank McDonald, whose right name was probably Hutchinson, cut the throat of a woman known as Irene Ray. They were upstairs in a room on Union Avenue, when the woman was attacked. She sprang out of bed and struggled with McDonald, who seized and kissed her, saying that if she would not live with him, she should live with nobody. He struck her twice with a water pitcher and she sprang into the window. He grabbed at her and she fell out and rolled down the awning to the ground. A policeman saw her fall and immediately ran up stairs. By the time he could burst the door open McDonald had cut his own throat three times with the razor, almost severing his head from his body. He died in ten minutes. The woman's throat was badly cut but she is still alive and stands some chance of recovery, though very slight. Her true name is supposed to be Pomeroy, the daughter of a wealthy resident of Iowa. She has lived the life of a prostitute in Denver and Pueblo and has been supporting McDonald. She last night told him she would do so no longer as she was going to live with another man and he committed the deed through jealousy. The affair created a great sensation.

She was born June 22, 1938 in Pueblo, CO to Malcolm and Hilda (Harder) Stickley.

Nadine was fond of telling the stories about meeting the actors and actresses from several movie sets, particularly, Cat Ballou, starring Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda. Nadine's first love was her family and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren attending sports and music events, whatever the kids were involved in. Close behind was her love of horses and all animals. In addition to her horses, she always had dogs and cats, and loved feeding the birds and squirrels. She rode her Quarter horses for many years in her favorite mountains around Westcliffe, where she also enjoyed watching the wild animals. Nadine loved camping, fishing, doll collections, and had quite a sweet tooth.

McFarland Pueblo Chieftain May 26, 1918 Pueblo Soldier Dies in France from Pneumonia On the eve of the day Pueblo is to bid farewell and God-speed to 200 of her beloved sons who are starting to the camps, later to go to France, comes a message from "over there" telling of the death of one of Pueblo's boys, Charles E. McFarland, widely known in this community, and a volunteer in the engineering corps. A message from Washington to John E. McFarland, La Junta, father of Charles E. McFarland, was received there at 1 o'clock yesterday stating that the son had "died of pneumonia in France, May 22." The telegram from the war department gave no particulars concerning the death. The deceased soldier is survived by his father and mother, residing at La Junta, and by one brother, Martin W. McFarland residing at Muskogee, Okla. Along with many other Pueblo men including Jesse Isgrig, Frank Philhour, J. W. Hubbard, Charles Beatty, J. Tapsley, G. E. Melvin, and others, McFarland answered the call of the country for men to volunteer for the engineering regiment. McFarland had been employed here as a switchman for the Santa Fe Railway. He was a member of the Smelter City Lodge No. 646, and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. He was born in Kan. February 24, 1887, and was therefore 31 years old. He was unmarried. He, together with a large party of railroad men from various branches of service, volunteered for service in the engineers, was accepted, and he and his companions from here were among the earliest of the American forces to reach Europe, they being assigned to the Thirteenth Engineers, Co. F. McFarland was a very close friend of W. B. Augustine, 903 Greenwood St., this city, and the latter has received many very interesting letters from "Mac," "somewhere in France," and through the courtesy of Mr. Augustine the Chieftain has been able to furnish to many friends of these Pueblo soldiers many items of interest from the letters written home by McFarland and by his chum J. W. Hubbard. A recent letter from McFarland told of a most interesting trip that he had taken into the south of France while on a leave of absence of ten days. The tone of that letter indicated that the writer was then in the best of health. Yesterday Augustine was just in the act of packing up a shipment of tobacco and other things to be sent to the boys "over there" as soon as word could be received from McFarland requesting the shipment, in conformity to the new government regulation, when Augustine received word of the death of his friend. Pueblo Chieftain May 28, 1918 Charles E. McFarland The above photograph of Charles E. McFarland, the Pueblo boy who died in France May 22 of pneumonia, was taken "somewhere in France" February 1. He was a member of Co. F, Thirteenth Engineers (Railroad). The first word of his death was received Saturday by his parents in La Junta. Pueblo Chieftain January 16, 1919 One More Gold Star Another gold star has been added to the service flag which hangs in the office of the Santa Fe division superintendent in Pueblo.

The latest is for William Kitts, whose mother lives at Rockvale, and was just notified Monday that her son was killed in action during the last days before the armistice. Before going to war, Mr. Kitts was a telegraph operator on this division of the Santa Fe. The other two gold stars on this flag represent C. E. McFarland and T. L. Johnson. Mr. McFarland was a Santa Fe switchman, and went with the railroad regiment sent "over" a year and a half ago; and he died of pneumonia. Mr. Johnson who went from the Santa Fe's Mechanical Department, was with the Navy, and died at Pensacola more than a year ago.

McKeag, Robert Robert McKeag - Pueblo Chieftain - January 14, 1917 - Pioneer Carpenter of City is Dead - Robert McKeag, a pioneer resident, age 56 years, and well known in the steel works zone, died Friday night after a short sickness. He was a carpenter by trade, and very lame from having both limbs broken and imperfect reknitting. For a long time he was employed at the steel works but of late years has done general carpentering about town. He was brought in sick from Rye about a week ago, he having been doing considerable work in the western part of the county. None of his former friends seem to know whether or not he has relatives nor where his former home was before coming to Pueblo. Mr. McKeag was a casual roomer at the Roanoke Hotel on East Northern Avenue, but the landlady, Mrs. Thomas, stated yesterday that he never spoke to her of his past life, or mentioned having relatives. The remains are being cared for at the Whiton Mortuary and the funeral will be announced later. Pueblo Chieftain - January 17, 1917 -The funeral of Robert McKeag will be held from the Whiton Chapel this morning at 10 o'clock. The interment will be in Roselawn Cemetery. McKedy, Gordon David Gordon David McKedy - Huerfano Journal - October 4, 2013 - Gordon David McKedy, age 75, passed from this earth into the gates of Heaven at 12:45 am September 21, 2013. Our mother and Dad's wife of 54 years, Phyllis Joyce Corsentino McKedy, his Sug Darlya Sue McKedy Campbell, and his Dolly Dee Ann McKedy MacBride held his hand, stroked his face, kissed him and said Goodbye. His eldest girl Debra Lynn McKedy Gottlieb was ministering abroad in Argentina. Many fathers are blessed to be loved, and our father was blessed to be Adored! Gor, as we called him, was handsome, charming, witty, and absolutely hilarious! His gift of humor made everyone who experienced it laugh so hard they cried. His talents were many! A brilliant musician, singer, mechanic, you name it he could do it! Our father lived for his grandchildren: Debra's daughter Brandy Rose, Dee Ann's son and first grandson Rian Gordon, and Darlya's two that lit up his heart every week when he watched them, Evan David and Darby Quinn. He also leaves behind his sisters June and JoAnn, and his brothers Jimmy, Michael, and Wendall. He joins his beloved parents Elja and Virginia McKedy, and his brother, who he adored, Tom McKedy. His greatest peace was knowing all three of his girls married men who could love and handle his three McKedy girls: Aryea Gottlieb, Charles MacBride and Dave Campbell. Our father's passing from heart failure leaves us heartbroken and in pain beyond our imagination. Yet, we have the woman who made his heart completely full since the day he laid eyes on her, our beautiful mother Phyllis. Mom always asked God, please let Gordon and I live to grow old together. And, although 75 doesn't seem so old anymore, to God it was for them. So, thank you God for choosing us to be his family. Thank you God for taking him as peacefully as you did, but most importantly thank you God for bringing Gordon David McKedy into this world. As his best friend Red Barry knew, Mutt was one of a kind.

McKee Pueblo County Is Dead Was Serving Second Term Death Caused by Stroke of Paralysis John M. McKee, serving his second term as Sheriff of Pueblo County, died at his home, 922 S. union, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning from a stroke of paralysis which followed an illness extending from last June when Sheriff McKee was injured while arresting S. H. Vertrees at the Vertrees' ranch near Wilson. Vertrees, who was being arrested on an insanity charge and who is now in the state insane asylum, kicked Sheriff McKee on the back of the head, causing an injury from which the sheriff never fully recovered. While Sheriff McKee has been ill for months and has had one operation performed, his death was unexpected and caused a shock to his friends and the office force where Mr. McKee was on duty Thursday. Sheriff McKee became ill in the night and the paralytic stroke occurred yesterday morning causing almost instant death. On June 19 last, Sheriff McKee and Undersheriff Sam Thomas went to the Vertrees home near Wilson to arrest Vertrees, a pioneer resident of the district on an insanity charge. They succeeded in disarming him after a struggle and while Sheriff McKee was on top of Vertrees on the floor, the insane man managed to kick the sheriff in the head. Vertrees wore heavy, hobnailed boots and the kick was a powerful one. Despite the blow Sheriff McKee pinioned Vertrees while Thomas fastened the handcuffs. The kick ruptured a blood vessel in the sheriff's head and recently he lost the sight of his right eye from the effects of the blow. A few weeks ago he went to Denver to a specialist and underwent an operation, but apparently received little benefit from the treatment. His physical condition became impaired and it has been known for several weeks that he was in a dangerous condition. Sheriff McKee was widely known throughout the County and state and was deservedly popular. He was born in Pa. in 1851 and came to Pueblo in 1890. He worked several years at his trade as a machinist and has taken a prominent part in Republican politics. In 1900 he was elected County Treas., holding office until 1907. In 1914 he was elected Sheriff and was reelected in the last election. His present term would have expired this year. Sheriff McKee enlisted as a private in the Spanish-American war and saw service in the Philippines, winning promotions and when the war closed he was a first sergeant. He became actively interested in politics after the close of the war. He always had a tender spot in his heart for soldiers and was an ardent patriot. He was prominent in the Spanish War Veterans Association and was also a member of the Knights Templar, Pike's Peak Lodge No. 29, B. of L. F. & E., and the Machinists' Union. He is survived by his wife residing at the family home and by two brothers, James McKee of New Bloomfield, Pa. and Lin McKee of Aberdeen, South Dakota. The body is being cared for at the home by the McMinn Undertaking Co. and funeral arrangements will not be decided until word is received from relatives residing out of the city. Pueblo Chieftain April 20, 1918 John M. McKee, age 67 years, died at the family home, 922 South Union Ave. yesterday. The body is at the home and arrangements are in care of W. B. McMinn. Please omit sending flowers. McKee, Mary Anne Mary Anne McKee Pueblo Chieftain November 30, 1918 Death of Pioneer Pueblo Woman Mrs. Mary A.

Mrs. McKee was born in Downpatrick, Ireland, April 8, 1838, though she lived practically all her life in America, coming to the United States in 1856. She settled in Ohio, but later moved to Kan., coming to Pueblo in 1889, from Newton, Kan., where she resided 10 years. Since the death of her late son, James C.

McKenzie, Willie (Mrs.) Mrs. Willie McKenzie - Pueblo Chieftain - November 9, 1917 - Two Negro Women Lured into Alley and Murdered Crime Discovered by Party Who Falls over One Dead Body - Lured into an alley in the rear of the Tom Protho Negro rooming house at 188 Central Main St., Irene Walker, 20 mullato girl from Denver, and Willie McKenzie, 21 mullato, mother of two children, residing at 217 W. 4th St. were shot to death at 9 o'clock last night. The murderer made his escape and left no clue. The Walker girl has been visiting Willie McKenzie for the past three weeks. The two women and a third woman whose name has not been learned by the police, made their home together at the Fourth Street residence. They were not employed so far as known. At 7:30 o'clock last night Willie McKenzie and Irene Walker went for the usual evening walk through the side streets adjoining the business district. At 9 o'clock last night, a roomer at the Protho house stumbled over the dead body of Willie McKenzie on the sidewalk in front of the Protho house at 118 Central Main. The police and coroner were at once notified and went to the spot where the body was still lying. A crowd of Negroes had congregated and it was stated that the McKenzie woman had been seen a few minutes before in the company of another woman. A search for the other woman was begun. A trail of blood could be followed by the lights of lanterns from the sidewalk where the McKenzie woman was found around the side of the Protho house to the alley. Near the alley in a vacant lot on a pile of tin cans, the body of the Walker girl was found. Evidently the McKenzie woman had dragged herself from the alley to the sidewalk before dying from loss of blood. The remarkable part of the affair is that she was shot directly through the heart, the bullet being a 32 caliber. The Walker woman had been shot four times, once through the right leg above the ankle, once through the left collarbone, once through the right- hand at the base of the little finger, and once through the top of the head, the last shot, shattering the skull and apparently had been fired after the woman was prostrate on the ground. The wounds were apparently made by a 32 caliber bullet. A pool of blood in the alley showed where the McKenzie woman had fallen after being shot, and from this spot the blood trail led from the alley to the sidewalk. Negro admirers of the Walker woman and friends of both women, told a story last night of an undersized white man, probably a Mexican, but at any rate a foreigner, who had followed the Walker girl here from Denver, and who was said to be desperately in love with the negress. He is alleged to have spent yesterday afternoon at the Fourth Street residence of the woman and to have left about 6 o'clock in anger because the Walker girl had invited a Negro admirer to supper. When the two negresses left their home at 7:30 they were said to be in unusually high spirits, although it is denied that they were drinking. Nobody could be found by the police who heard the shots fired when the women were killed. Dr. Ray Taylor, the corner, stated that the women could not have been dead more than a half an hour before their bodies were found. There were a number of people at the Protho rooming house when the double murder must have occurred. The McKenzie woman who is also known as Willie Mitchell has a baby girl seven months old and a boy five years old who are being cared for by her mother, Mrs. Lena Mitchell, who resides in the Grove. The mother of Willie McKenzie called at the Davis & Vories mortuary last night and viewed her daughter's body. She could give no clue as to the murderer, but expressed an opinion that the murderer was after the Walker girl and had shot Willie McKinsey to cover his identity or because he was in a frenzy and happen to meet the two negresses together. A razor was found concealed in the clothing of Willie McKenzie when the body was dressed at the undertaking parlors. The Walker girl was unarmed. Coroner Ray Taylor will hold an inquest over the bodies, probably on Saturday. The police have but little to work on in the case, which might lead to the possible unearthing of the murderer or murderers. Chief Daly came to headquarters and was on the scene of the murder. In company with Night Captain, Jack Sinclair, he conducted a personal investigation into the crime. Up to a late hour last night, no arrests have been made in connection with the case. The mysterious manner in which the women were killed leads the police to believe that the element of cunning and crafting which entered into the murder was not the planning of the brain of a Negro. Pueblo Chieftain - November 10, 1917 - The remains of Leona Irene Walker and Mrs. Willie McKinsey are being held at the Davis & Vories Mortuary where an inquest will be conducted Monday afternoon by Coroner Ray Taylor. Pueblo Chieftain - November 10, 1917 - A. A. Adams, Negro, 40 years old, was arrested by patrolman Windsor and Friend last night in connection with the murder of Willie MacKenzie and Irene Walker, Negro women, Thursday night. The police detectives were searching for Adams, yesterday on a clue picked up by Detective W. W. Green, but Adams could not be located last night. He was arrested by the patrolman on his way home at 104 Summit St. He is tabbed at police headquarters, "hold for investigation." The police, it is stated, do not think that Adams committed the double murder, but they have gathered information about the affair which indicates that Adams may be able to give information that will aid in the capture of the murderer, if he can be induced to talk. The task of getting Adams to reveal all he knows about the killing will be taken up by Chief Daly this morning. The police are investigating a theory of revenge as a motive for the double murder committed in the alley in the rear of the Protho Negro rooming house at 188 Central Main St. less than two blocks from police headquarters. Willie Mackenzie recently gained notoriety when she reported to the police and sheriffs' departments that John Richardson, a Negro steelworker with whom she had been living, had made a confession of murder to her. According to her story which was partially corroborated by her mother, Richard confessed to killing an Italian workman who was found dead inside the steelworks enclosure several months ago. The Italian's head had been crushed. According to the Mackenzie woman, Richardson told her he had killed the Italian and had taken the money belt found on the victim's body from which Richardson was alleged to have obtained $600. Richardson was arrested by the police and later turned over to the county authorities. The case was investigated, but aside from the purported confession made to Willie MacKenzie, there was no evidence against Richardson and he was released about three weeks ago. He left for Mexico and has written several letters to the MacKenzie woman begging her to join him in his new home, to bring their baby, a girl seven months old, and to start life over again by getting married. The letters found by the police in a search of the MacKenzie girl's Fourth Street home, apparently indicated that Richardson had forgiven the girl for her attempt to get him into trouble on the murder charge. Despite his protestations of love, the girl was afraid of him and declined to join him in the Mexican city where he was making his home and working as a minor. Letters had been received from Richardson up to a few days ago. The police are investigating as to whether or not Richardson is still in Mexico. It is thought to be hardly likely that he could pay a visit to this city without meeting some person who knew him as he is widely known here among the Negro residents. The undersized foreigner who was at the Mackenzie girl's home Thursday afternoon to call on the Walker woman, and who followed Irene Walker here from Denver cannot be located. He is known to the parents of the Walker girl in Denver and they have been asked to give his name and address to the police. The police of Denver have also been furnished with a description of the man and asked to pick him up. Corner Ray Taylor has ordered an inquest to be held over the bodies of the two women on Monday at the Davis & Vories Undertaking parlors, where the two murdered women were taken after their bodies were found Thursday night. The police are running down every clue in the case that may have important developments to disclose at the coroner's inquest on Monday.

McKinney, Margaret Ellen Margaret Ellen McKinney - Pueblo Chieftain - January 21, 1997 - Deaths - Margaret Ellen McKinney, 86, Pueblo, Jan. 19. McCarthy Almost Funeral Home. Pueblo Chieftain - March 4, 1997 - Pueblo Businessman, Leader Dies at Age 84 - Concrete-company founder Owen G. McKinney, whose civic work included helping solidify Pueblo's water supply and also Parkview Episcopal Hospital's funding, died Sunday. He was 84. McKinney's death comes about six weeks after the death of his wife, Margaret Ellen, both of whom enjoyed playing golf and bridge and were active members of Ascension Episcopal Church. Owen McKinney, born in Durango and reared in Pueblo and later Denver, returned to Pueblo at age 33 as a salesman for Johns-Manville. Ten years later, in 1955, he started the concrete-block manufacturing company that bears his name. Family members remember that, as a youngster, McKinney worked as a package-delivery boy for Downtown Pueblo merchants. He went on to graduate from the University of Colorado with a business-administration degree. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy following the Pearl Harbor bombing, and after his discharge, returned to Johns-Manville. McKinney's civic work in Pueblo began to grow in the mid-1960s, at a time when his concrete company was expanding. (In the 1970s, the company would become the eighth such plant in the nation to become fully automated.) In 1963, he served as president of the United Fund of Pueblo. In 1964, he was named to the then-Regional Planning Commission. He also served on the Pueblo Development Foundation and Southern Colorado State College development board. A year later, in 1965, he was elected to the first of three six-year terms on the Board of Water Works, which would become known for its hawkish approach to securing as much water as possible for Pueblo. Friends talked him into running for the water board, McKinney once recounted. Personally, he was reluctant. In the end, he opted to listen to his friends, he said. "I'm glad I changed my mind because it has been a most fascinating and personally rewarding time in my life," he said in December 1983 at his final water board meeting. Board of Water Works Director Alan Hamel, who was hired in 1982, said the water board of McKinney's era implemented a host of other changes to improve the utility. "They initiated the main-replacement program, upgrading of the treatment facility and worked in putting together a business plan and a long-range plan," Hamel said. A plaque honoring McKinney now hangs in the lobby of the water utility's Downtown office building, part of a fountain display designed to honor those who contributed to Pueblo's progressive water system. In the mid-1980s, McKinney was co-chair of a $2.8 million fund-raising drive to benefit both Parkview and St. Mary-Corwin hospitals. McKinney was among Parkview's leading benefactors, serving 18 years on its board of directors and helping strengthen the hospital's finances. Professionally, he served on the board of directors of the Pueblo Home Builders Association, the national Concrete Masonry Association, the Amateur Investors Association and the First National and Park National banks. McKinney served on former Gov. John Love's economic advisory committee and served on the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry board of directors in 1977. He is survived by two sons and their wives, Owen L. and Carol McKinney of Pueblo West, and James R. and Beth McKinney, of Avondale. Four grandchildren and a brother, D. Edward McKinney, also survive. A memorial service is scheduled at 4 p.m. Thursday at Ascension Episcopal Church. George McCarthy Almont Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. McKinney, Owen G. Owen G.

McKittrick, Helen Amelia Helen Amelia Neatherly (Morley) McKittrick - Pueblo Chieftain - May 12, 2013 - Helen Amelia Neatherly (Morley) McKittrick, passed away, following a brief illness, on May 10, 2013, in Pueblo. She died at the Joni Fair Hospice House, named in honor of her daughter. Helen was born in Bristol, Va. on March 23, 1920, to Smith and Ethel Neatherly, but was raised in Butler, Tenn., the tiny town in Johnson County which was abandoned when the TVA built Watauga Dam nearby. The backwater from the dam covered this pristine community in 1949, and the town was relocated to higher ground a mile away. Butler was the only town sacrificed in a TVA project. In Butler, she attended the Butler Baptist Church and Watauga Academy, the high school operated by the Southern Baptist Convention. She married David C. Morley Sr. on June 29, 1940, in Butler, where they started their family. This lost community was important to Helen, and she participated in several reunions held by former residents to honor the memory of Old Butler and those who lived there. Following the forced relocation of Butler's residents, Helen and D.C. settled in Elizabethton, Tenn., where she attended Oak Street Baptist Church and was active in the WMU and church choir. She retired from the Elizabethton City School System and took great pride and satisfaction in helping children who were educationally challenged. She relocated to Colorado Springs, Colo., to be close to her children. In Colorado, she attended the Security Baptist Church and the Circle Drive Baptist Church, where she met and married Robert R. McKittrick on Feb. 14, 2000. They lived in Colorado Springs and Denver, and most recently at Primrose Retirement Community in Pueblo. Helen was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters; and her first husband, D.C., who died in Pueblo in 1984 following 44 years of marriage. Survivors include her second husband, Robert R. McKittrick of Pueblo; her daughter, Amelia Joan Joni (Wayne) Fair of Pueblo; and a son, David C. (Susan) Morley Jr. of Venice, Fla. She left five grandchildren, Michael Fair of Elizabethton, Tenn., Shana Fair of Pueblo, Tara Edwards of Parker, Colo., Christopher Morley of Denver and Tricia Morley of Littleton, Colo.; nine great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren; and a sister, Georgia Osburn, Oak Ridge, Tenn.

McLaughlin, Andrew Thomas Andrew Thomas "Tom" McLaughlin - Desert Valley Times - July 6, 2011 - Andrew Thomas "Tom" McLaughlin passed away on Wednesday, June 29, 2011. He was born on July 10, 1926 in Trinidad, Colorado. Dad would have turned 85 next week, and although we won't be able to celebrate as planned, we believe he is now enjoying a reunion with Mom that far exceeds anything we could have arranged. Dad's parents were Andrew Thomas McLaughlin and Emma Jenny Repetschnig. He had one sister, Elizabeth Jean McLaughlin, with whom he maintained a special, close relationship throughout both of their lives. Dad was raised in Denver, Colorado and in his youth worked on survey crews and as a laborer on jobs with his father. After completing school, Dad moved to California to work and pursue further education. During WWII, he received a deferment of service due to his mother's illness and subsequent death. He entered the Navy near the end of the war and served for two years. While living in San Francisco, he met St. George native, Leah Bentley. They were married on August 5, 1954. During their first few years of marriage, Mom and Dad moved where his Engineering jobs took them. They lived at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Squaw Valley, Oakland, and finally settled in Fremont, California to raise their family. Dad has always been a hard-worker and committed long hours to provide for his family. He worked for the City of Fremont as a Civil Engineer, and spent his evenings doing tax preparation work on the side. While living in Fremont, Dad made a significant change in his life. He spent several years investigating the LDS church, and with the support of our Mom and some close neighbors, Dad was baptized in 1970. One year later, our family was sealed together in the Oakland Temple. Dad served in various callings in the church and was a stalwart example to those around him. He was honest, filled with integrity, and known for being meticulous, thorough and organized. Every Thanksgiving, Dad drove our family to St. George for the annual Bentley family reunion. Mom always missed her hometown, and in 1979 she and Dad made the decision to move to St. George. While living here, Dad worked for Creamer & Noble Engineers. He was a loyal employee and quietly completed many large projects involving travel throughout the State. He enjoyed his work and didn't choose to retire until the age of 78.

Medina, Georgia Georgia Medina - Pueblo Chieftain - April 18, 2012 - Stabbing victim dies of wounds - A woman who reportedly was stabbed last week by her boyfriend died Tuesday. Georgia Medina, 36, died at 11:51 a.m. at Parkview Medical Center, according to Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer. Mason Romero, 37, allegedly stabbed Medina and her father, George Medina, 55, on Thursday. Police on Tuesday amended one of the charges against Romero to first-degree murder. "It was originally for attempted first-degree murder, but now it'll be for first-degree murder," Sgt. Ken Espinoza of the Pueblo Police Department said. Romero and Georgia Medina had been dating between six and eight months, Espinoza said. They lived together in an apartment in the 300 block of East Evans Avenue. George Medina also lived in the apartment and sustained serious injuries while intervening in the alleged assault on his daughter. George Medina remains in a local hospital and his condition was not available Tuesday. Romero was arrested soon after the incident about a block from the residence. According to an affidavit by Detective Cody Wager, a neighbor heard the couple arguing throughout the night in their upstairs apartment. The neighbor was awakened about 8 a.m. Thursday "when he heard banging on the upstairs floor and cries for help. (The witness) said he ran to the back and up the stairs. He said he looked in the apartment and saw Georgia lying on the floor covered in blood," the affidavit said. The witness then found a bloody George Medina in the apartment. Detective James Olonia was able to talk to George Medina, who had sustained stab wounds to his torso and left shoulder area. Olonia asked George Medina, "Who did this to you and he stated, 'Mason,' " the affidavit said. Georgia Medina sustained six stab wounds -- four to her back and two to her front torso, according to the affidavit. Romero agreed to speak to detectives and "during the interview, Romero confessed to stabbing Georgia," the affidavit said. A background check with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation showed Romero, who also goes by nicknames "Wino" and "Bam Bam," has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1991. Romero has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, trespass, harassment, burglary and a slew of other charges, mainly from El Paso and Larimer counties. According to the CBI, Romero served 90 days in jail from a 1995 case, where he pleaded guilty to driving under restraint; he served a year in the Department of Corrections for a guilty plea of attempted burglary and he served another 18 months in prison for a guilty plea of theft of rental property. Romero was being held in Pueblo County jail in lieu of $1.2 million bail. Kramer said Georgia Medina's death was the first reported homicide of the year in Pueblo County.

At the church Father Cyril Zupan will preach the eulogy over the remains of the deceased sailor boy and at the grave the military funeral services will be exemplified and "Taps" will be blown as the remains are lowered into the earth. The interment will be in Roselawn and the funeral will, in all probability, be one of the largest held in the city in a long time.

Pueblo Chieftain February 25, 1918 Throng Attends Funeral of Pueblo's Sailor Boy Pueblo yesterday paid a fitting tribute to the memory of a native son who died in the service of his country when more than 1,000 of her citizens attended the funeral of the late Joseph Mehle, a 17-year-old sailor lad, who died in the hospital at the Mare Island Station, San Francisco. While studying in the radio school the young man was taken ill. His parents were notified, and were preparing to go to the coast city to be near their boy during his illness, but before they could start on their journey another message told of his death. The remains were forwarded to this city. Mehle was of Slovenian parentage, and was born in Pueblo in 1901. While there are many Slovenian-Americans in the Army and Navy of the country, and many of these have died in service in peace times, the members of the local Slovenian societies say that as far as they have been able to determine after considerable investigation Mehle appears to be the first American boy of Slovenian parentage to die in the service of the government since the outbreak of the war with Germany. He is likewise the first native born Pueblo naval service man to die since we went to war, and it is likewise notable that he is the first man of Catholic faith from Pueblo who died in the nation services since hostilities were declared. It is therefore considered fitting that as a tribute to his memory his funeral should be attended by a great many of the people of Pueblo of all faiths and denominations and all walks of life; that the various orders of the Catholic faith in Pueblo should honor his memory by attendance at the obsequies, and that the ceremony of burial should be attended with all the honors that attend the burial of a member of the Navy. At 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning the funeral procession moved from the family home on Berwind Ave. to St. Mary's Church. E. J. Mensinger was the Marshall of the procession and was assisted by Robert Roblek. The order of the funeral march was as follows: two large American flags; Matt Jerman's military band playing the funeral march; Western Star Lodge, St. Joseph's Society and citizens; Pueblo Council No. 557, Knights of Columbus; veterans of various wars of the United States; citizens of Pueblo in automobiles; hearse containing the flag-draped flower-covered casket of the deceased; and autos bearing the relatives of the deceased, and friends of the family. At the church the following cortθge was met by a body of some 300 schoolchildren, each child bearing in his or her hand a small American flag. The church, one of the largest in the city, was filled to capacity.

Meier, George William George William "Bill" Meier - Pueblo Chieftain - September 11, 2011 - George William "Bill" Meier passed away at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 6, 2011, the day after his 82nd birthday. Everyone who knew him will tell you Bill died from a broken heart over the loss of his life-long love and wife, Marge, who passed away nine months ago. They were married for 55 years and had five children, 13 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Bill loved camping and fishing, and was not averse to sharing a drink and gambling with those he might consider his friends. He lied to the Navy and enlisted when he was 15 years old to fight in World War II, but alas, the war was over so he never got the chance. Bill had the ability to fix anything that was broken (except for his own heart) and he never refused a request for help by anyone. He was probably the best father a child could ever have; faking anger when needed and giving out discipline fairly and wisely. We shall all miss Bill and Marge with a great sadness in our hearts. They taught us honesty, caring and how people should live their lives. These lessons we will pass on to others. To pay your respect to Bill, please come to La Renaissance restaurant, 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011. Donations in his honor should be sent to where they will do the most good. Meier, Margaret J.

It was a hardscrabble life during those Dust Bowl days and the family lived on corn, beans and the occasional jackrabbit. She moved to Pueblo, where she later married the love of her life, Bill Meier in 1955. During her 55-year marriage to Bill, she worked at the Pueblo Army Depot and later at Fort Carson. Marge was a small-time entrepreneur selling Avon and Tupperware to make sure her boys and grandchildren had nice clothes and toys for Christmas. After retiring, Marge continued in her entrepreneurial ways. She loved auctions and profited from monthly yard sales. With an eye for a bargain and a love for the deal, Marge guided her children and grandchildren through the purchase and sale of many homes. Marge and Bill loved traveling and camping. In their motor home, the family traveled across Colorado and to Florida, Texas, Canada and Alaska. Her love for travel continued into retirement, where she traveled to Mexico, Hawaii, Scotland and finally Germany, where she lived out a lifelong dream with an overnight stay in a Bavarian castle. She is survived by siblings, Virginia (Gus), Bud (Velda), Sam (JoAnn), Frank, Jim (Jackie) and Diana (Ted); children, Ken (Linda) Meier, Paulette Benning, Larry (Edelia) Meier, Jerry Meier and Greg (Kristen) Meier; 13 grandchildren, Kent, Kevin, Kerry, Jan, Jeff, Kris, Sharla, Karina, Josh, Valerie, Christie, Sara and Sean; and 13 great- grandchildren.

Mellen, Roy Roy Mellen Pueblo Chieftain May 29, 1919 Man Crazed by Shots Fired at Him by His Wife is Dead ___tion (exhaustion?) caused by the effects of ___ insanity of the manic progressive type was the findings of the jury impaneled by Coroner W. H. Campbell to ascertain the cause of the death of Roy Mellen who died Tuesday night in the state hospital in this city. Deceased had been shot twice in the front portion of the head by his wife, _ora Mellen, at the home near Akron, Washington county, Saturday morning. But neither of the bullets penetrated the skull, both glancing off the bone and emerging about an inch and a quarter from the point of entrance. Immediately after receiving the shots, according to the sheriff of Washington county who brought Mellen to the asylum Saturday night at __:25, he became violently insane. All efforts to control him even with opiates proved unavailing, and immediate court action was taken with the result that the unfortunate man was committed to the asylum. According to the story of the shooting told by the sheriff, Mellen quarreled with his wife at breakfast time Saturday morning, and immediately after the meal he ordered her to go out to collect some money said to be due him. She returned without the money and he told her to go again and if she returned without the cash he would kill her. When she returned she found him in bed apparently asleep. She looked for the little revolver where it was usually kept, but found that he had ______ _____. Finally she found it and ____ ____ to shoot him in the head with results above stated. The wife then went and gave herself up to the authorities, telling the story as here given. She was locked up. As soon as he died the officials of Washington county were notified, and yesterday they requested Coroner Campbell to hold an inquest. Dr. Luke MacLean, who performed the autopsy yesterday, testified that he removed the top of the skull and found that while neither shot had penetrated the cavity, there was a clot of blood about the size of a silver quarter almost opposite where the shots struck, but that the clot was not in the brain and did not affect that organ. He did not think the insanity was caused by the shots. Dr. A. L. Smiley, who had charge of the patient at the asylum, testified that he had probed the wounds and found that neither were serious, and in his opinion also, they had nothing to do with the insanity, the form of which he termed the manic progressive type. He said that the sheriff told him that while at Denver enroute he was obliged to call a physician and have sedatives administered, being unable to control the patient otherwise. All day and night, Dr. Smiley said, the patient raved and yelled and whistled, all the while his body was going through all kinds of contortions. The Doctor was sure death came as a result of physical exhaustion. Coroner Campbell was of the same opinion, and the jury so found. The inquest was held at the McMinn undertaking parlors, where it was stated that Frank Mellen, father of the dead man, would be here from Phillipsburg, Kansas, to take charge of the body, this morning. It was stated by the Washington county sheriff that Mellen had been known for some time to be mentally unsound, and that he was understood to have been rejected from army service on that account. The dead man was about 30 years of age, well built, and so far as the physicians could detect, had none of the diseases which are often credited with being insanity causes.

She was predeceased by her parents, Claude Olin and Elizabeth Emma Stumbo of Brown County, Kan.; her sisters, a brother and an infant son, Jimmy Mellenbruch. Thirty years in banking and 65 crafting handmade heirloom quilts demonstrate some of her business and creative acumen. In retirement, one of her greatest joys was waiting, as she sat in the sunroom quilting, for the kit foxes to trip the motion light as they gobbled up the food she left for them. If she happened to forget, they would sit on a large rock behind her Rye home and yip to remind her. Another joy was her love affair with Robert B. Parker's mystery novels. Coming from farming stock, growing up during the years of the Great Depression and being a beautiful woman shaped her life in productive ways: she was a saver and a practical, stylish woman.

Millie's parents, Eric and Anna Wing, came from Norway and eventually settled in Northfield, Minn. Their livelihood revolved around a small, turn of the century grocery store and they were employed at St. Olaf College. Millie was raised with two sisters, Ellen and Talyda. She also had six brothers, Julian, Joel, Earl, Wyman, Lyle and Gene. Millie became a receptionist for the Northfield-Minneapolis telephone company, where she met and married Burt Mellum, who was a manager for the same company. Burt's management promotions relocated their family to Sleepy Eye, Minn. Eventually Millie owned a small bookstore and continued to work for the phone company. She seldom sat still, as she worked tirelessly on many community and church activities, of which she was president, leader and organizer. Among her many God-given talents was her lovely soprano voice that blessed the church choir. Millie and Burt shared the same passion for traveling. This took them on numerous adventures, to include three trips all through Europe, plus Mexico, Canada and Greece. They explored nearly every state in the United States. With all this global knowledge, they chose Colorado to be their retirement homestead, Pueblo West to be exact. A choice they never regretted. Millie and Burt remained committed to various community and church activities. Millie was the recipient of the prestigious Reach to Recovery Teresa Lasser Award of the American Cancer Society. This national recognition came from the Colorado division, which emphasized her abilities as a devoted, lively, good-hearted, compassionate and knowledgeable volunteer. Their son, Bob, and daughter-in-law, Marie, live in Minnesota. Their daughter, Vickie, and son-in-law, Jerry, live in Texas, along with their granddaughter, Jami, her husband, Mike, and their great-grandson, Austen.

With his entire family by his side, he succumbed to cancer after only one short month. Gene had three siblings, Paul, Jimmy and Linda. When he was young, his family relocated to Pueblo, Colo. Gene served in the U.S. Army and was a Vietnam veteran. Gene operated heavy equipment his entire life. He once said, This is how I get to leave my permanent mark on the world, like an architect, except I dig a lake or a ditch. Too bad there isn't a way for me to sign my name. Gene had many hobbies, such as fishing, hunting, shooting, woodworking and volleyball. His biggest passion in life was children, whether they were his own or not. He simply glowed at the opportunity to teach a life lesson, share a song, or tell one of his stories, which he could do like no one else. And he gave the best suitcase rides. Gene is survived by his wife and his three children, Tiffany Merrell, Jennifer O'Brien and Gene Merrell. He also had three stepchildren and 12 grandchildren. He leaves many friends up on his mountain in Tennessee who will never forget the helping hand he always offered. A celebration of his life will take place on that mountain, TBA.

Thatcher Merriam. Pueblo Chieftain October 13, 1918 Enlisted Pueblo Boy Is Dead in France Charles L. Merriam died in France September 19 as a result of wounds received in action. His mother was informed of his death Saturday by a telegram from the officials at Wash. Merriam was 23 years of age and enlisted in the 354th Infantry last spring.

Pueblo Chieftain October 20, 1918 17 Colorado Soldiers Mentioned On Two Long Casualty Lists Yesterday Coloradoans Died of Wounds Chas. Thatcher Merriam, 735 S. Adams St., Pueblo, Colo. Charles Thatcher Merriam Pueblo Chieftain December 8, 1918 Almond Heath Is Severely Wounded Almond Heath, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Heath, of 213 Washington Street, has been severely wounded in action according to a telegram received by the family from the government yesterday. A letter from Heath was received by the family on November 26, stating that he was well and uninjured. He was wounded however, October 27, a few days after the letter was written. In his last letter he tells of the death of Chas. T. Merriam, who was killed in action. He says: Our company has suffered a few casualties since the drive started on this front and among those killed was a boy from Pueblo. His name is Private Charles T. Merriam and his mother is Mrs. Louise Merriam of 735 South Adams. I was personally acquainted with him and knew him to be a young man of excellent qualities and fine principles. The company commander recommended him to be the best T. P. S. man in the company and he requested me to send thru you to his folks the sympathy of the commanding officer and entire company. It is with the greatest sorrow and deep regrets that we have lost our excellent comrade and so fine a soldier. I knew him and saw him only a short time before his death. He was cheerful and always had a smile for everyone and was well thought of by everyone. It seems that Merriam and two others were going across a field and when they heard the shell coming all three jumped into a shell hole. It turned out to be a high explosive and threw shrapnel a piece of it flew into the shell hole striking Merriam and causing his death. His body is laid, not far from here and has been cared for carefully the place being marked. The following letter has been received by Mrs. Louise Merriam, the mother of Charles, from the major general of his division. My Dear Mrs. Merriam: I wish to express my sincere regret of the death of Private Charles T. Merriam, Machine Gun Company, 354th Infantry. I feel that you must find a certain pride in his soldier's death and in the knowledge that he fought his good fight in the just cause of our country. For that cause he has given all; to justify his death and your loss, we must, in the end, bring victory. Let me assure you again of my sympathy in your grief. Very truly yours, W. M. Wright, Major General U.S.A., Commanding 89th Division. Pueblo Chieftain December 11, 1918 Killed In Action Chas. T. Merriam, son of Mrs. Louis Merriam, 735 South Adams avenue, was killed by a shrapnel shell in battle in France. His death occurred several weeks ago. He was a member of the machine gun company of the 354th Infantry. 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. Merriam, Levi T. Levi T. Merriam - Pueblo Chieftain November 30, 1917 The funeral of the late Levi T.

Messmer, Harold Harold Messmer Pueblo Indicator July 26, 1913 Boy Drowns In the Big Ditch Fence Not Adequate to Keep Children Out of Harm Harold Messmer, a 7-year-old boy, was drowned in the Bessemer ditch last Monday afternoon. In company with another lad of the same age he was playing along the banks of the ditch when he slipped and fell in. His companion gave the alarm and men in the steel works yard formed a gate with iron rods and caught the body an hour later when it came up against the improvised fence. The doctors worked for an hour at the dispensary trying to resuscitate the body but to no avail. The little fellow made a heroic effort to get out of the water but there is nothing to which he could cling and, like nearly all others who get into the treacherous canal, he was forced to give up. Almost every year the Bessemer ditch takes its toll of human life and each time there is talk of having the city take action toward causing the ditch to be fenced in properly but nothing has yet come of it. The present fence is not adequate. A high woven wire fence would probably keep the children out.

Meyer, Robert Warren Robert Warren Meyer - Huerfano World Journal - June 30, 2011 - Robert Warren Meyer (age 90), a long-time resident of Huerfano County, Colorado, died of natural causes Wednesday evening, June 15, 2011, at the Colorado State Veterans Nursing Home, located in Walsenburg, Colorado, where he had been a resident of one year while receiving physical therapy to recover from surgery. This had been Bob's third surgery in three years repairing a broken leg first injured in a tractor accident when he was 16 years old. A native of Colorado, he was born on October 2, 1920 to Gus and Zula (Harlan) Meyer in Trinidad, Colorado. After spending his first few years on their farm in Missouri, Bob's family moved to the JM Ranch, located near Gardner, Colorado when he was 5 years old. Gus had inherited the ranch from his father John M. Meyer, a German immigrant, who had become one of Colorado's early cattle barons having run more than 4,000 head of cattle and sheep on the 5,000 plus acre spread. Bob's initial school years were spent at the single-room adobe South Bradford School where he would often ride double with one of his older brothers on horses well-known to them as they all worked the ranch at a very early age. He later attended the Gardner School run by his Aunt Lida. Bob graduated from Huerfano County High School on June 2, 1937. After High School, Bob briefly attended Colorado University until he left to help his father run the JM Ranch. Growing up on the JM Ranch instilled a deep love for ranching and the outdoors in Bob. His mother mentioned that as a child, he often would sleep out on the porch instead of a perfectly warm room in the ranch house just to be outdoors as much as possible. Spring and fall round-ups were particularly enjoyable for Bob as he dearly loved horseback riding and working with cattle. Branding on the JM was a huge event as many neighbors chipped in to help as did the Meyer boys when the other ranches needed help with their operations. Bob also participated in the extensive haying operations as well as chopping ice in frigid weather to allow the animals to water and provide ice for summer picnics as they stored it in cellars. During World War II, Bob left the ranch and joined the US Navy while spending most of his tour in the South Pacific Theater. Much of his excitement came during mine sweeping operations on a wooden-hulled boat that he was later able to show his wife Peg during a trip to New York City. After becoming a Quartermaster Third Class, Bob was honorably discharged from the United States Navy at the Naval Personnel Separation Center located in Shoemaker, California on June 18, 1946. Upon discharge, his adventurous spirit inspired him to travel to Alaska and back south to Old Mexico in a jeep while camping each night during the journey. Other adventures consisted of hitch-hiking trips across the United States, landing in spots such as New York City, where he remembers being asked if his cowboy boots were good for killing cockroaches in room corners. Bob also traveled by motorcycle, on roads that would be challenging for today's best equipment. Having experienced many of the places on his list, he returned to Walsenburg where he and his father partnered in the ranching business. In addition to ranching, Bob's interest in hunting and fishing led to his becoming a guide who took adventurists by horseback into the Sangre de Cristo Range of southern Colorado. Bob met his Southern Belle when she was visiting relatives in Walsenburg during 1949 and they were married in the Presbyterian Church in Sumner, Mississippi on April 9, 1950. He and Peg began their 61 years together in Walsenburg where they met friends who participated in many functions such as wild-game dinners, theme parties, and talent shows. Their family of four children; Mike, Meryl Lee, Melissa and Mitch grew up loving the outdoors while camping, hunting and fishing in many of Bob's favorite locations. Bob's continued love for the outdoors resulted in creating a business partnership with Lloyd Sehnert named the Mountain Safari where he expanded his guide service using military jeeps as transportation. Bob took his jeeps where no one had before, including the Walsenburg fair grounds where he had challenged local horsemen to a calf-roping competition wherein Bob had mounted a saddle to the hood of his jeep so he could freely swing his lariat and lasso the calf. After serving as a Walsenburg City Councilman, Bob was appointed Executive Director of the local Public Housing Authority and served in that capacity for several years. Bob and Peg purchased the Paul Krier Insurance Agency in October, 1969 and moved the business to their building located on Main Street in Walsenburg. This building had been the location of Gus Meyer's swap shop patronized by many in the Huerfano County area. Bob was a member of the United Methodist Church in Walsenburg where his booming bass added to the choir. He was awarded a certificate of commendation for serving as a member of the Great Lakes Choir at the United States Naval Training Center. He was a longtime member of the Walsenburg club (formerly Lions Club) where his antics, along with other talented Walsenburg residents, included performing in minstrel shows. A charter member of the Walsenburg Golf Club, Bob's contributions allowed that dream to become reality for numerous Huerfano County residents and visitors. Having been a Mason, provided a link to the Rainbow organization where Meryl Lee and Melissa were active. Bob was a long-time member of the Cattlemen's Association and served as a brand inspector for many years. For several years, Bob served as a Walsenburg Municipal Judge where many residents considered him to be honest and fair to all. He stopped actively ranching at the age of 80 as Bob and Peg sold the herd and started leasing the pasture to other area ranchers. Although, he physically stopped feeding, branding and shipping cattle, he never lost his passion for the rancher's life and worried about the lack of rain at the pasture to his last day. Bob is known to his grandkids as Hot Shot. We all now realize that bears only attack those who sleep in the tent (not the camper), what it is like to catch your first fish, it is always better to tighten your cinch, driving the truck to feed the cows, horses love to be fed cake out of the pick up, and appreciate the fact that we don't have to ride to school horseback both ways in a blizzard. The Spanish Peaks, Big Sheep and Little Sheep are just a stone throw away. Hot Shot is loved by many and will truly be missed. Bob is preceded in death by his parents Gus A. and Zula R. Meyer, his daughter Melissa, and oldest brother Harlan Meyer. He is survived by his loving wife Peg Meyer who continues to reside in Walsenburg, Colorado; his children Michael M. Meyer and his wife Linda of Divide, Colorado, Meryl Lee and her husband Steve Seewald of Platteville, Colorado, Mitch Meyer and his wife Phyllis of Lakewood, Colorado; his grandchildren, Jenny Seewald Caruso of Harrisonville, Missouri, Jeff Seewald of Longmont, Colorado, and Dustin Meyer of Lakewood, Colorado; and great-grandchildren Brechen and Cedar Caruso. Bob is also survived by his brother Norman Meyer of Conifer, Colorado and sister-in-law Alice Meyer of Lakewood, Colorado and numerous nieces, nephews and very dear friends. A memorial service will be held at the United Methodist Church on Saturday June 25, 2011 at 2:00 PM. Contributions may be made to the Melissa Meyer Scholarship Fund through Boise-Ortega Funeral Home, 115 East 5th Street, Walsenburg, Colorado 81089 or the United Church of Walsenburg, 108 Kansas Avenue, Walsenburg, Colorado 81089.

There is no love like a mother's love. No stronger bond on Earth. Like the precious bond that comes from God, to a mother, when she gives birth. A mother's love is forever strong, never changing for all time. When her children need her most, a mother's love will shine. When her days on Earth are over, a mother's love lives on, through many generations, with God's blessings on each one. When you left this world, you took a little piece of each of us with you. We will always love you and cherish your memory. A rosary will be recited at 9:30 a.m. on Today, May 23, 2013, followed by Mass at 10 a.m. at Holy Ghost Parish, 833 Arizona St. SE, Albuquerque.

He raised all eight kids, and there was no difference in how he felt about them."

At the age of 75, he played in three tournaments and only lost one game. He and Mrs. Minor were both regular contestants in the Gridiron Green contest. "He loved wildlife and birds and took care of them when he could," said Mrs. Minor. "We always had birdfeeders at our house on Junction Creek." The Minors moved to Canon City in May of this year.

Shortly after, he returned to work with Heath Andreatta Excavation, where he worked until recently. Jim was one of a kind, easy-going, good-humored, hard-working, stubborn, big-hearted, always willing to help at a moment's notice. He loved his family, being in the mountains, animals, couldn't do without his coffee and cigarettes and his Diet Coke, and he savored his "coconut cream pie." In general, he loved food. He had a thing for his electronic games, crossword puzzles, scratch tickets and his "oldies music." I (Marti) always told him he was like an old LP record, stuck in the '60s. He pushed my buttons and drove me to distraction, but we all loved him. He loved his job, working with his son and all the crew. He touched the lives and hearts of many people and seldom met a stranger. He has left a huge void in all of our lives and a bigger hole in our hearts. To his "special family," Heath and Michelle and children, he loved you all dearly! Thank you for being a part of our life. To the crew and all those whom he worked with, he enjoyed every moment he spent on the job with you. I may have had an absent husband at times, but he was happy! Much better than having a miserable couch potato. He will be sorely missed by his two furry girls, Sheba and Miss Kitty. I'm running late "again" as usual, Honey. I love you! See you in Rio, Baby! Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Mary-Corwin Hospital's Cardiac Wing or to the Intensive Care Unit or to your favorite charity, if you so desire. Thank you.

Roy attended school through the sixth grade in San Diego and moved with his family to Hutchinson, Kan., to live in the inherited family home after the death of his Grandpa Jordan. In 1929, the family traded their home for farm property located in Elkhart, Kan. Roy lived in Kansas during the Dust Bowl days and enjoyed telling stories of that experience. When he was 15, Roy got a truck and a scoop shovel and started his own business hauling wheat from fields in Kansas and Oklahoma to grain elevators. Roy graduated from Elkhart High in 1933. Roy married Mary Bernice Siebert in 1932. Roy Jr. was born to them in 1933. This marriage ended in divorce. Roy then moved with his family to Pharr, Texas. In 1936, Roy came to Pueblo, Colo., for a visit and never left, living here until his death. In his early years in Pueblo, Roy worked in filling stations and garages and eventually became the manager of Hill Oil Co. In 1942, Roy began work at the Pueblo Ordnance Depot and worked there until his retirement in 1975. He interrupted his career in late 1942 when he was drafted into the United States Army. He received an honorable discharge in 1943, due to hearing problems. At the ordnance depot, Roy met Lola and they were married in Orem, Utah, in 1946. Ronald, Robert and Joyce are children of this marriage. Most of his life Roy pursued his hobby of buying and tinkering with both new and used cars. He used to tell of the time when he bought and traded three brand new cars in the same year because something was just not right with the first two. It was not uncommon for Roy to have one or more used cars on his property that he repaired to either drive himself or to sell.

Montoya, Anisa Anisa Montoya - Pueblo Chieftain - April 30, 2012 - Family, church look to God - The father of the 18-year-old girl killed along with two other girls in a Pueblo traffic crash Saturday night prayed with onlookers just moments after the tragedy. Martin Montoya's daughter, Anisa Montoya, and Serena Sena, 14, and Selena Mascarenas, 14 -- all of Alamosa -- were killed after Puebloan Gilbert O. Sanchez, 36, allegedly sped through a stoplight, then crashed into the vehicle in which they were riding. "He (Montoya) came to the corner and prayed with us and I think he saved a few of us and touched a lot of us while his daughter was still in the car," said onlooker Andrea Trujillo, who came up on the accident Saturday. Trujillo, of Pueblo, said several people gathered to pray with the man. "He told us, 'I just want to let you know that the person in there is my daughter and she was out doing God's work tonight with me,' '' Trujillo said."He told us all to bow our heads and to give our hearts to the Lord. He prayed for all of us and our sins," she said, dabbing at tears. The Montoyas, Serena and Selena had attended an outreach service at The Door Christian Fellowship Church. The girls were members of The Door Christian Fellowship Church in Alamosa, where Martin Montoya is pastor. Saturday, Anisa and her father performed rap songs for the local congregation. Afterward, the three girls were heading to Starbucks in the Regency Square Shopping Center near the crash site before heading back home. Sunday, Trujillo and her family attended a service at the Pueblo church for the first time. "She (Anisa) was doing God's work. I think they saved a few people on that corner. That's why I am here tonight," Trujillo said Sunday. "Last night when I went home, I hugged my children very hard and very tight because I couldn't imagine losing them." Roy Garcia, pastor of The Door Christian Fellowship Church, said the three girls who died were kind and loved Jesus. "They were ready to go home," Garcia said. Garcia said he had known Anisa since she was a little girl. "The family is heartbroken," Garcia said. "Three beautiful young girls stepped into eternity. The family is comforted that they were right with God and Jesus." Garcia said he forgives Sanchez, as God would. "It was at God's mercy because none of the people in the other vehicle have died," Garcia said. "We pray for that family and we pray for that driver that he gives his life to Christ. We tell him that we love him and that we have no hard feelings against him. We don't hate him." Anisa was four weeks away from graduating from Alamosa High School. The older sister of three brothers, she was described by her uncle Jerry Martinez of Alamosa as someone who would go out of her way to talk to people and that she was always ready to be a friend. "She was very, very outgoing," he said in a phone interview with The Pueblo Chieftain. "She was just so generous, so giving and so happy all the time." Anisa spent part of her childhood in Las Vegas, N.M., but moved just before high school to Alamosa. Anisa also was part of a Christian music group that played Saturday night in Pueblo. "She could play almost any instrument you gave her," her uncle said. Pueblo Chieftain - May 5, 2012 - Suspect's fiancιe defends him in crash that killed 3 - Flowers, balloons and get-well cards adorn Jordyn Carrillo's room at Parkview Medical Center. The 13-year-old Roncalli Middle School student reclined in bed Friday with bruises, stitches on her head and a broken femur and hip. Her left hand also is fractured. In the room with her were her mother, Tessa Carrillo, and two young children of the man accused of speeding on a Pueblo street, running a red light and crashing into a car that killed three teenage girls from Alamosa a week ago. Jordyn and her best friend, Jade Dorrance, 14, were riding in the bed of the truck driven by Gilbert O. Sanchez, 36, of Pueblo at the time of the accident about 9 p.m. Both were ejected in the collision. Jordyn said Friday that her own injuries are the last thing on her mind. "I am truly sorry for them (Alamosa teens). Every time I think of it, I just cry" she said, taking deep breaths as she spoke. Anisa Montoya, 18, Serina Sena, 14, and Selena Mascarenas, 14, died at the scene of the crash. Tessa Carrillo, who is engaged to Sanchez, said she had not seen Sanchez drinking on the day of the accident. "He is not the one to drink and drive, so this threw me for a shock," she said. "He is a great man. He does well with his kids," she said, pointing to Sanchez's two kids sitting in the hospital room. "He is an all-around good person. He made a bad decision and choice." Jordyn said she, Jade and Sanchez were on their way to buy some dog food at a store. They were leaving from visiting Sanchez's young son. "We held on to the truck and I had my arm around her, then I blacked out after we hit the car. I remember laying in the middle of the road and a man named Robert helped me, and he called my mom," Jordyn recalled. Jordyn said her main concern after the crash was Jade. ''I kept asking, 'Where's my sister, where's my sister?' "Jordyn said."They told me she had to fly up to Denver. We've been friends for nine years." Tessa Carrillo said when she received a phone call about the crash she did not believe the caller. "I thought they were playing with me. Everything was fine . . . It was just a shock," Tessa Carrillo said. Jordyn said the three teens have no reason to be dead right now. "They did not do anything wrong and I am truly sorry for their families," she said. Jordyn also expressed concern for Jade, who she considers a sister. "I talked to her on the phone two days ago before she went into surgery. I really miss her," Jordyn said. "She asked what was wrong with me and I told her. She said she was hurt too, but then she had to go." Jade is recovering at Denver Health Medical Center. She remained in stable condition Friday. Tessa Carrillo said Jordyn is making great strides with her condition. ''She is beyond a fighter. I told her the other night that I'd give all the money in the world to take her place, not to see her hurt. She told me, 'No mom.' ''I asked, 'Why?' and she said, 'Because you are not as strong as I am.' "Tessa Carrillo said she has talked with Sanchez since the accident and he is deeply apologetic."He's such a kind-hearted man. He is having a really difficult time dealing with what has happened. He sends his sympathy and condolences and his apologies," Tessa Carrillo said. "He said he can't apologize enough to the families in Alamosa." Tessa Carrillo said he wants to apologize to Jade and her family as well. "I don't know the feeling of losing a child . . . My heart goes out to them," she said. Tessa Carrillo said she has received several tormenting phone calls since the crash. "They have told me that I am the worst mother in the world and so many other things," she said as she wept. "We are all just trying to heal. I wish people wouldn't judge so quick." "I would do anything to take that day back." She also apologized to the community. "A lesson should be learned. Don't drink and drive," she said. Pueblo Chieftain - May 4, 2012 - Woman extends helping hand to families of victims - Becky Vialpando twice has received the dreaded news of fatal wrecks. One took her husband nine years ago. Her grown son died in another wreck four years ago. She continues healing those losses by helping others trying to cope with the same loss. As founder of the Ride to Give foundation, Vialpando has orchestrated numerous fundraisers for families in grief and in need. She'll host another one at 1 p.m. Sunday at Joey's Pixie Inn, 440 S. Santa Fe Ave., to help the Alamosa families of three teenage girls killed last weekend in a crash at Northern Avenue and Pueblo Boulevard. The event will include chile-smothered burrito plates (two burritos and rice) for $8, continuous entertainment and a raffle and live auction of donated items. Take-out meals will be available. Local guitarist Ray Peralta will kick off an open acoustics session for all musicians who'd like to play. The auction will be around 2 p.m. "We'll go until it's done -- as long as people want to eat and play," Vialpando said. She had just heard about the triple-fatal accident when one of her board members called and asked her if the foundation could help the families of the girls. By evening, this weekend's event was in the planning. "I found out they were from Alamosa and I just kind of put myself in that position, having been through it, and knew those families can't be prepared to do funerals," Vialpando said.

After his service in the CCC, Bud attended night school in Boulder, taking English and machinist courses. He then moved to Port Huron, Mich., and worked in the electrical department of Peerless Cement Co. In 1936, he transferred back to Colorado and did farm work for Ray and Gladys Johnson of Penrose, who were his neighbors. Later, he started winding motors in the basement of the Johnson's' Pueblo home, while Ray Johnson worked for the power company. In 1938, the Johnsons purchased a ravaged, flooded building at 324 S.

Bud also took courses in ham radio operation in 1950 and operated the Navy/Marine Corps Mars from that time until the present.

She was an experienced and enthusiastic traveler who has literally strolled through the alleys of the casba in Morocco, allowing a native snake charmer to drape his snake around her neck. She has traveled all the world, visiting most of the well-known "ports of call." She also enjoyed the simple things of life, like wandering over the prairies looking for arrowheads, while enjoying the lizards, antelope, turtles and other forms of life around her. She was an active member of the Pueblo Junior League, the Rosemount Museum, the Pueblo Zoo and the Sangre de Cristo Art Museum. She also supported many, many charities throughout the country throughout her life. There will be no viewing.

Morhet, Jeff Jeff Morhet - Pueblo Chieftain - July 22, 2012 - Plane Fatality - Father, son die in crash - Details sketchy regarding accident near Walsenburg - A small plane crash Saturday near Spanish Peaks Airfield just north of Walsenburg resulted in the death of two people. A father and his 9 year-old son died as a result of the crash, according to Diego Bobian, Huerfano County emergency manager. Authorities have not released the names of the victims or the age of the father. The two victims who died in the crash were the only passengers aboard the small plane. An officer with Huerfano County Emergency Dispatch said it is unclear whether the victims were landing at the airfield or taking off from it. The family of the victims had not identified them late Saturday. The cause of the crash was unknown Saturday and is under investigation, Bobian Members of the National Transportation Safety Board were expected to arrive Saturday night to begin an investigation, according to an officer. Pueblo Chieftain - July 24, 2012 - Plane crash victims Identified - Father, son from Arizona died; investigation continuing - Two people killed in a plane crash Saturday have been identified as Jeff Morhet and his son, Jackson Morhet, both of Mesa, Ariz. Jeff Morhet was 43 and Jackson was 9, according to Huerfano County Sheriff's Office Lt. Milan Rapo. The crash occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. Jeff Morhet was piloting a two-seat Nanchang CT-68 and making his approach to land when something went wrong and the plane crashed in a field about a half mile from the runway at Spanish Peaks Airfield north of town. The Morhets were traveling from Grand Junction with three other planes that planned to refuel in Walsenburg before continuing to an air show in Oshkosh, Wis. The three planes traveling with the Morhets already had landed. That group called in on Saturday to alert us about the wreck, Rapo said. They saw it all. A local pilot who wants to remain unnamed was at the airfield during the crash. I was standing near the terminal building and I saw him starting to head west and his gear was going down and he was just looping back to land, the man said. His plane started to roll and at first I thought he was doing a barrel roll, but then I realized he was way too close to the ground to be doing a barrel roll. His plane just nosed on over and went straight into the ground almost perfectly vertical. There was a huge splash of dust, but no fire started or anything like that. I never heard the engine rev up or anything, so there's not much he could have done to pull out of it. The witness estimated the plane was 400-500 feet in the air when it began to encounter problems. Debris from the crash was cleaned up by 1:30 p.m. Sunday, according to Rapo. The cause of the plane crash is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board. It's too early in the investigation to determine what caused the accident, Keith Holloway, a public affairs officer with the NTSB, said. We won't speculate on anything this early. Holloway said the NTSB may have a preliminary report on the possible cause of the accident toward the end of the week at the earliest. The Republic - July 23, 2012 - Arizona entrepreneur, son killed in plane crash in Colorado - An Arizona biotechnology entrepreneur and his 9-year-old son died Saturday when a small plane crashed in southern Colorado. Jeff Morhet, 43, and Jackson Morhet, 9, both died when the small plane crashed about 5:30 p.m. during an attempted landing near the Spanish Peaks Airfield north of Walsenburg, Colo., the Pueblo Chieftain reported. The Morhets were the only passengers on the Nanchang CJ-6A aircraft when it crashed about a half-mile west of the airport, according to Federal Aviation Administration Spokesman Allen Kenitzer and Huerfano County, Colo., officials. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating details of the crash. The aircraft took off from an airport in Grand Junction, Colo., and sought to land at the Spanish Peaks Airfield general aviation airport, possibly to refuel. The Morhets planned to fly from Colorado to the 2012 EAA AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wis., according to the Chieftain. The annual air show, which will run through Sunday, has more than 10,000 aircraft anticipated for the event. About 2,500 aircraft are considered show planes that are judged in 11 different categories, according to event spokesman Dick Knapinski. Knapinski said he did not know whether Morhet planned to enter his aircraft in the annual event, but he said the Nanchang CJ-6A is the type of aircraft that may qualify for the air show's "Warbirds" category for military-style aircraft. Records show the 1973 Nanchang aircraft was registered to a Baseline Road address in Mesa. The aircraft had an "experimental" airworthiness certificate and its approved operations were for exhibition purposes, according to the aircraft's registration. The Arizona Technology Council, the state Department of Commerce and then-Gov. Janet Napolitano named Morhet the Ed Denison Business Arizona Leader of the Year in 2008 for his work in the Arizona biotech community and as CEO of InNexus Biotechnology, an early-stage company. More recently, Morhet launched a new life-sciences company, Diomics Corp., with offices in La Jolla, Calif., and Chandler. Morhet was paid by Chandler to help advise, review and launch the city's Innovations technology incubator. The lab has attracted a number of technology and early-stage research companies. Chandler Economic Development Director Christine Mackay said that Morhet "did a tremendous job for the city. ... I am so sorry for his family." Mackay said that Morhet had four children with his wife, Deirdre Morhet, who could not be reached for comment. Leaders of Arizona's biotechnology industry said that Morhet was an important member of the community. Morin, Fred E. (Cpl.) Cpl. Fred E.

An adventurer, Mr. Morse was a characteristic pioneer of the country, both East and West He had sailed the seas, risked his life with a filibustering expedition in Central America, sought new thrills in Calif. in the early 50s and fought valiantly in the Civil War along with 4 brothers and a quartet of cousins. In his extensive travels into sections little explored at the time of his visits, he had collected a remarkable lot of curios, in which he took great pride during his declining years as they became more and more articles of curiosity. His curios, valued at several thousand dollars, consisted of trophies ranging from sharks teeth to Indian relics of any early day and firearms such as have been used through many generations, each one having its own story well known by the collector. Send Nine to War The old Morse homestead at West Bedford, Mass., holds the record of the country for the number of soldiers sent to the front in the Civil War. From the one house Henry M. Morse, his four brothers, and four cousins enlisted in the cause of the North. One brother died in Libby prison. Henry M. Morse was born at New Bedford, Mass., June 2, 1833. He was a son of Samuel A. and Mary Parker Morse of sturdy New England stock. As a young man he ran away from home and followed the sea for a number of years. After returning home he again became restless and went to Calif. in the early 50s. He returned to Mass. by way of Panama in 1854, and joined the Walker filibustering expedition to Central America and remained with Walker until they left that country. He was married on October 19, 1856, to Edna Phillips at Newsburyport, Mass. His wife, to whom he was married 62 years, survives him. During the Civil War Mr. Morse had many adventures and he rendered singular service. After the war Mr. Morse went into the jewelry business at Haverhill, Mass., and continued in that enterprise until the fall of 1871 when he sold out his interests and came to Colo. He had resided in Pueblo since that time and has contributed more than his share in the upbuilding of Pueblo the home city he loves so well.

He served as a member of the school board, District No. 1 and was elected County Commissioner on the Republican ticket in 1892.

In talking of Mr. Morse's sunny disposition and his aptitude for telling humorous stories, Mr. Hilton told of a visit paid Mr. Morse a short time before last Monday when Mr. Morse, lying in bed, related some funny incident, and then he told Mr. Hilton that he suspected that the last thing he would do before he passed on would be to tell some one a joke.

Mortararo, John John Mortararo - Pueblo Chieftain April 8, 1918 Italian Fearing Blindness Kills Himself with Pistol John Mortararo, age 60 years, an Italian who is said by his friends to have been brooding over approaching blindness and consequent inability to work, committed suicide at about 7 o'clock last night by shooting himself in the right temple with the revolver. The deed was committed in the bedroom of his home, 148 Mechanic St. A brother who had been with him continuously for some time past left the house to go to a nearby grocery store on an errand for the sick man. Just after the departure of the brother to the store a 13-year-old son of the victim came into the room where his father was lying on the bed. The man sent the child from the room saying that he desired to be alone and quiet. The boy left the house and had gone as far as the front gate when he heard a shot fired. He rushed into the house and found his father lying across the bed with his head hanging over the edge of the bed. A gaping hole in the temple and a pistol on the floor near the outstretched right arm of the man told a story of his death. The remains were removed to McCarthy's parlors where they are held pending completion of funeral arrangements. Deceased had resided in Pueblo several years and was quite well-known among his countrymen. His wife is said to have died several years ago, and her death together with Mortararo's failing health are said to have weighed heavily on his mind for some time past and caused him to lapse into spells of deep melancholia at frequent intervals, though his relatives and friends are said not to have anticipated that he might make an attempt on his own life.

Mosher, Jeffrey Jeffrey Mosher - Pueblo Chieftain - August 1, 2012 - Crash kills 2 in Westcliffe - Tractor-trailer triggers accident south of Westcliffe - A six-vehicle crash killed two and injured three others on Colorado 69 about two miles south of town. The cause of the crash is under investigation at this time, according to Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Mike Baker. Baker said a semi-trailer combination was involved in the wreck but said he couldn't confirm the other vehicles involved. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash and two others were airlifted to a hospital. Another person was taken by ambulance from the scene to receive treatment for injuries sustained in the crash. The highway has been closed in the area of the crash for cleanup and the CSP said it's not sure right now when it will reopen. The wreck happened at about 1:22 p.m., according to Baker. Pueblo Chieftain - August 1, 2012 - Two people, including a road construction worker, were killed in a six-vehicle crash about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at a road construction site on Colorado 69 about two miles south of here. According to Colorado State Patrol Master Sgt. William Holt, the crash occurred when a northbound semi-trailer failed to observe that traffic was stopped for road construction and plowed into a vehicle, causing a chain reaction of collisions. The semi swerved off the roadway and then back onto the highway, hitting the construction worker, Jeffrey Mosher, 20, from Coal Creek, and more vehicles before running off the left side of the highway and overturning onto its top. The semi driver, Robert White, 57, of Temple, Texas, also was killed in the accident. Three others were injured, Holt said. Two people from the rear vehicle were flown to St. Anthony's in Denver, while another passenger from the crash was transported via ambulance to Parkview Medical Center. The extent of their injuries was not released. Crews closed the highway for investigation. Holt said names would not be released pending notification of families. Pueblo Chieftain - August 2, 2012 - Flagger's death shows peril of road work - Semi driver also killed in accident south of Westcliffe - The death of a construction zone worker following a six-car crash two miles south of here Tuesday illustrates the dangers highway workers face. The victim, identified as Jeffrey Mosher, 20, of Coal Creek was working as a flagger for Mountain Barricade. He was stopping traffic in the Colorado 67 work zone, according to Bob Wilson, a spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation. Mosher's father also was working on site as a construction supervisor for the project, which entails widening the road to include shoulders, said Chuck Kline, CDOT maintenance supervisor. Wilson was not certain if the elder Mosher was working for contractor Tezak Heavy Equipment or another subcontractor. According to Colorado State Patrol, the crash was caused by semi trailer driver Robert White, 57, of Temple, Texas, who failed to observe that traffic was stopped. The tractor-trailer collided into the rear of a vehicle, veered off the right side of the roadway and hit Mosher. The tractor-trailer then rolled onto its top. Both Mosher and White died at the scene of the accident. One key thing we tell people is to slow down as they come to a work zone and expect the unexpected. There are people standing out on the road and that's their office, Wilson said. White's tractor-trailer hit a vehicle stopped for construction and set off a chain reaction accident. The first car to be struck was driven by 63-yearold Linda Niemeyer of Westcliffe. Niemeyer and a passenger both sustained serious injuries and were flown to Denver for treatment. Another car driven by Michael Heller, 75, of Westcliffe, was damaged. Heller and a passenger, Jane Augustine, 81, also of Westcliffe, were not hurt. Two other drivers, Jan Hanna, 64, of Westcliffe and another driver who was not identified in the patrol report, were not injured. Joyce Brittingham, 55, of Westcliffe was the final driver involved in the accident. She was taken to Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo with moderate injuries.

Mummah, Lemon Lemon Mummah - Pueblo Chieftain June 17, 1918 Lem Mummah Well-Known Local Businessman Is Dead Lemon Mummah, and old time resident of the state of Colo., and prominent businessman, died early yesterday morning at the family home 124 E. 7th St. He was born in Berks County, Pa., in 1857 and was therefore sixty-one years old. He was a son of Jeremiah and Catherine Mummah, pioneers of Pa. His father fell at the battle of Chancellorsville. Mr. Mummah came to Kan. as a boy, traveling by ox team from Junction City to Osborne, where his uncle William Rader made the headquarters of his cattle business. His uncle put the boy Lem on the range, and for some time he was a cowboy, looking after his uncle's herds. In those days the Kansas plains were crowded with herds of buffalo and young Lem followed buffalo hunting for a couple of years. During this period he became acquainted with William Cody (Buffalo Bill) and the two became life-long friends. When the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, visited the United States on his famous tour, Buffalo Bill, then a government scout, was placed at the head of the official escort by the government, and Lem Mummah was one of the young men selected by Buffalo Bill to form part of the escort and accompany the Grand Duke. From Kan. he came to Colo., going first to the San Juan country, thence to Pueblo, where he was employed in the company store of the Colo. Coal & Iron Co. He then became connected with the baggage dept. of the Union Depot, and afterwards was ten years with the grocery firm of Moses Brothers. For a time Mr. Mummah lived in Cripple Creek, where his place of business was destroyed in the fire which consumed the city. He lived in Colorado Springs for a number of years, returning to Pueblo two years ago, engaging in the oil business. At the time of his death he was sales manager of a local oil company and was also one of its directors. In 1884 Mr. Mummah was married in this city to Loretta E. Mead, who survives him. Seven children are still living, Ralph A. Mummah of Great Falls, Montana; Mrs. G. A. Spooner of Florissant, Colo.; Mrs. L. C. Longanecker of Lawrence, Kan.; Mrs. H. C. Nolte of Vieter, Colo., and Miss Fern Mummah. Two sons, Dale and Glade, live with their mother. Lem Mummah was a prominent Mason, was Past Master of Tejon Lodge, No. 104, of Colorado Springs; belonged to Glen Eyrie O. E. S., No. 8; also a member of the Actual Past Masters of El Paso County, Colo., a Woodmen of the World, and a member of the World Brotherhood of American Yeoman. He also belonged to the Royal Arcanum and the United Commercial Travelers Association. The funeral announcement will be given later. He was a loving husband and father and a true friend. No man, woman, or child ever approached him asking a favor, but received it. He was honorable in all his dealings, generous and open-hearted. He was one of those sturdy pioneers who helped blaze the way for civilization; and he did his share to make the dangerous frontier safe for the present generation. He belonged to a class of men whose ranks are growing very thin. Time is taking toll of them rapidly. Lem Mummah is no more, but: " 'Tis ever wrong to say a good man dies." The remains are at the Davis-Vories parlors. Funeral announcement later.

Tim loved ranching with all his heart. He was like a walking encyclopedia on many issues and was loved and respected by many. He discovered the new love of his life this past couple of years, his Harley motorcycle. He was born and raised at the family ranch which was homesteaded by his grandparents, Harold David and Mary Rose (Swartz)?Myers in the early 1900s. He graduated from John Mall High School in 1980?and attended college in Laramie, Wyoming where he studied diesel mechanics. Tim loved hunting and was especially happy to see and help first time hunters get their kill. Tim will be missed not only as a rancher, father and husband, but also as one who knew a lot about what went on in the good ole days in Huerfano County, who did what and where things used to be. He learned this from his father as well as by growing up on the ranch in Walsenburg. If any of us, or anyone else, wanted to know anything, Tim pretty much knew it, or where it was on the map. Tim worked the ranch and was a ranch hand for Jim Garren for many years. He loved the open range. A celebration of his life will be held at the Huerfano County Community Center at 928 Russell Avenue in Walsenburg on Friday, Nov 4 at 1 pm. There was a cremation.
