District No. 2 2034 Jose Salazar. Pueblo Chieftain - December 24, 1917 - Jose Salazar Died at Camp Kearney - The fourth Pueblo boy since the beginning of the war to give to his country's cause "the last full measure of devotion" was Jose Salazar; a member of Co. L. 158th Infantry, who died at Camp Kearney, Linda Vista, California, yesterday. While the message received in this city yesterday made no mention of the cause of death of the valiant young Spanish-American soldier, it is presumed that it was due to natural causes. A pathetic feature in connection with the death of the young man is the fact that he leaves a devoted wife and a three month old son, the baby boy having come into the world since the departure of the father early last fall for the California camp. All of the letters received in this city by friends of young Salazar told of his longing for the day when he might be able once more to come home to his wife and to little "Jose." The grief of the soldier's young wife is pathetic in the extreme, and since the sad news was imparted to her yesterday her condition has been such that she has been under the care of the family physician, and some fears were expressed by her friends that the shock might prove fatal to her, but late yesterday afternoon Mrs. Salazar's condition improved. Salazar was 24 years old, and was one of the south side draftees last September. Besides the widow and child, Salazar leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Sofia Salazar, residing at Dulce, N. M. It is planned to bring the body to Pueblo for interment, the arrangements being in care of the United Undertaking Company by whom announcement of time and place of the funeral will be made later. The death of Salazar is the fourth to occur among the Pueblo boys in the service since the outbreak of the war. Of this number two were in the United States Navy; another died at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kan. Salazar's is the first death among the Pueblo contingent at Camp Kearney. Pueblo Chieftain December 27, 1917 Two Military Funerals To Be Held in City Friday Military funerals will be tendered the two Pueblo drafted man who died at training camps Sunday. Spanish War Veterans will have charge of the military arrangements. The two men are Josι Salazar, who died at Camp Kearney Sunday, and Earl Pope, who died at Camp Funston, Sunday night.

Pueblo Chieftain December 30, 1917 Five Pueblo Warriors Die according to the records of the Chieftain, 5 Pueblo boys in war service have died since the nation entered the conflict. None of these boys was killed in action but died at the training camps, for from natural causes and a 5th because of accident. Of these 5, 3 were drafted man into were enlisted men in the Navy. Thomas L Johnson, was the 1st Pueblo boy to die since the war was declared. He was a sailor and died at Pensacola, Florida, during the summer of pneumonia. He was a son of Mrs. Emma A.

Pueblo Chieftain January 5, 1918 $10,000 Insurance Left by Draftee Jose Salazar, who was drafted by the South Side board in Pueblo, and who died of pneumonia two weeks ago at Camp Kearney, Calif., left an insurance policy of $10,000 to his wife, Mrs. Marie Salazar, 1630 Spruce St. and their baby daughter three months old. The commanding officer at Camp Kearney wrote a letter to the South Side draft board asking that Mrs. Salazar be instructed to apply through Washington for the insurance that was due on the policy taken out by her husband. Mrs. Salazar did not know that her husband had taken out the policy until informed by the draft board. The policy was issued under the government war plan which enables a soldier to take out insurance at a very low premium rate. This is the first war insurance policy claim to be made by a relative of a soldier from Pueblo. Pueblo Chieftain November 17, 1918 Pueblo's Honor Roll It is believed that the list below contains the names of all the Pueblo men who have died of disease or of wounds or of accident, or were killed in action since the United States entered the war, at least these are all of the men of whom the Chieftain has had a record. If there are others, it is desired by the Chieftain to have their names and any information concerning them would be appreciated. The list below also contains the names of boys wounded in action, missing, and prisoner in Germany. This is Pueblo's honor roll: Dead: Joseph Salazar. Pueblo Chieftain January 1, 1919 52 Pueblo Boys Gave Their Lives Some Killed in France Others Died of Wounds Or Disease Pueblo sent nearly 3,000 men to the service of their country in the war recently ended. Out of this number 52 have so far been reported is dead, either killed in action, died of wounds, killed by accident, or died of disease. Some 19 have been wounded either seriously or slightly. Then 5 are reported missing. One was reported a prisoner of the Germans in a German prison camp. The Chieftain has endeavored to keep a record of the casualties suffered by Pueblo boys. Two sources of information were possible. One was from reports received by parents or nearest relatives and friends. The other source was the daily casualty list issued by the government and published by the Chieftain. The figures given above are from the records maintained by the Chieftain up to December 28. It is hoped that the list is complete, but it would be foolish to insist that there are no others to be included. Efforts were made to obtain photographs of all the boys who had given their lives for their country either by being victims of enemy bullets or disease. It was possible to obtain a large portion of them, but in some instances the family had no photograph and in other instances the family had moved from Pueblo and the address could not be learned in time to obtain the photograph by mail. In other instances boys were given on the casualty list as being from Pueblo, but no trace of relatives could be obtained here. Some of the boys died at training camps and were victims of the Spanish influenza or pneumonia. Some died on board ships, others died at training camps in France of disease. One was drowned when the Tuscania was sunk. The boys, who died at training camps, while they did not get to France, and did not obtain an opportunity to face enemy bullets, nevertheless gave their lives for their country. They should and will be considered heroes. They should receive all due honors. Died for Their Country: Joseph Salazar.

Salazar, Stephanie Nicole Stephanie Nicole Salazar - Pueblo Chieftain - July 21, 2005 - Police seek clues in slaying of woman - Police are investigating the apparent beating death of an exotic dancer whose body was found early Wednesday in a field littered with rubbish behind a North Side strip club. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said an autopsy is planned Friday to determine exactly how 20-year-old Stephanie Nicole Salazar died. Salazar's head and face were so badly beaten that fingerprinting and X-rays were used to verify her identity, the coroner said. "This poor young woman suffered a very, very bad beating," said Deputy Chief John Ercul of the Pueblo Police Department. Ercul said no gunshots or stab wounds to Salazar were evident. Police don't know whether Salazar was killed somewhere else, or near the club. Police responded to reports of a man dragging a body toward a field just beyond the parking lot of The Mystic Cabaret, 4301 N. Elizabeth St., at about 12:50 a.m., according to Ercul. When officers arrived, no one was immediately seen in the area. Police took a closer look with flashlights and discovered pools and drops of blood that led them to Salazar's body. She was already dead and laying in a makeshift dump, where crushed concrete, windblown wrappers and old tires had collected. Ercul said Salazar had worked in the past as a stripper at Mystic. Witnesses told police they saw her inside the club late Tuesday or early Wednesday as a patron with a group of friends. Police learned that Salazar has been living in Pueblo, but originally is from Walsenburg. Investigators have few clues about the man that was seen dumping Salazar's body. He was described by witnesses as a white male approximately 40 years old, who stands 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 250 pounds. The suspect reportedly has salt-and-pepper hair and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and dark, baggy pants. Pueblo Chieftain - July 23, 2005 - County coroner determines young mother was strangled - An autopsy on Friday revealed that a 20-year-old woman whose body was found in a field behind a strip club early Wednesday died from strangulation and may have been raped. Pueblo Chieftain - July 26, 2005 - Stephanie Nicole Salazar, 20, of Walsenburg. Memorial service, Wednesday, July 27, 2005, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Walsenburg, Colo., with the Rev.

Pueblo Chieftain - July 31, 2005 - Falcon man turns in self in homicide - A 28-year-old man turned himself in to Pueblo police Friday night in connection with the death of a young woman whose body was found 11 days ago behind a North Side strip club. Jail records identify the man as Dwayne Kelly Rogers of Falcon. He was arrested Saturday on suspicion of first-degree murder and is in Pueblo County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Rogers told the Pueblo Police Department's dispatch center at about 11:30 p.m. Friday that he wanted to turn himself over in the death of a female in Pueblo, said Sgt. Elias Manzanares of Pueblo police. He said Rogers referred to details surrounding the death of Stephanie Nicole Salazar, 20, of Walsenburg. Rogers drove himself to the police station, and police detectives obtained an arrest warrant. Police found Salazar's body partially clothed behind the parking lot of The Mystic Cabaret, 4301 N. Elizabeth St., at about 12:50 a.m. July 20. Salazar, who was visiting the club with friends to celebrate her move out of the state, stepped outside the club to smoke a cigarette and disappeared. Salazar previously worked as a dancer at the club, police said. Two truck drivers said they saw a large male drag what appeared to be a woman's body down a small hill behind the parking lot. The suspect was described as a white male about 40 years old, with salt-and-pepper hair, standing between 6 feet, 2 inches and 6 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing about 250 pounds. Police Chief Jim Billings could not say whether Rogers fits the description given by witnesses, but said the investigation will continue so officers can "have as much evidence as possible." "There's still a lot of investigative work to be done," he said. Billings added he did not know if Salazar's death was a random homicide or one that involved a motive. "It's going to be sketchy for a while because we do need to run down the information (Rogers) gave," Billings said. Salazar, Telos J. Telos J. Salazar - Pueblo Chieftain - February 4, 2009 - Telos J.

Sanchez Jr. - Pueblo Chieftain - July 16, 2012 - Violence - Police probe shooting - Details of man's ID, condition unknown - A man was shot late Sunday before the vehicle he was traveling in crashed into a light pole and a parked vehicle. His identity and condition were unknown early today. As of 12:15 a.m. today, police were unable to release information on the incident. Police on the scene also could not provide information. Sgt. Ken Espinoza said it was too early in the investigation to comment. According to scanner traffic, the unidentified man was taken to Parkview Medical Center. Emergency responders said over scanner traffic that the man stopped breathing, but police were unable to confirm a death early today. A call to the coroner was not returned. Police blocked off Northern Avenue between Eilers and Taylor avenues. Police tape blocked the crashed car on the corner of Eilers and Northern avenues. A witness, who asked to remain anonymous in fear of retaliation, said she heard shots fired and saw two cars making aggressive moves on the corner of Taylor and Northern avenues. That's where all the gunshots came from. He was driving jagged and he crashed into a pole and hit a parked car, the witness said. The witness said she called 911 immediately. I was outside talking to my neighbor. I heard the shots and saw the crash and I dialed 911. I had to get help, she said. You could see bullet holes all around the car. They shot it up. Police could not confirm that the incident was a drive-by shooting. The woman said she saw a man being taken away in an ambulance. A fallen light pole rested on top of the crashed car and there was damage to its front end. A car parked next to the light pole had a dent on its left side. Several people were at the scene as police investigated. Pueblo Chieftain - July 16, 2012 - Pueblo gunshot victim dies; incident tied to festival altercation - Police say a 40-year-old Pueblo man who was shot before crashing his car into a light pole late Sunday has died. Pueblo Police Sgt. Ken Espinoza identified the victim as David F. Sanchez Jr., who died after being taken to Parkview Medical Center. Police were called to the scene at 9:37 p.m. on a report of shots being fired at the corner of Taylor and Northern avenues. Two minutes later there was a report of a crash a block away on Eilers and Northern avenues. At the time, police said they did not know the two calls were related. Espinoza said this morning that there have been no arrests in connection with the case. He said police investigators are interviewing people who possibly are connected to the shooting. There were no other injuries. Espinoza said an altercation occurred between two parties that knew each other after they had attended the annual Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish festival. "Sometime before the shooting, the group of kids started giving each other a hard time and one car started following the other one and they began to chase each other around," Espinoza said. "During that timeframe, one of them recognized one of the drivers in the other car and called the victim, who was a relative," Espinoza said. Espinoza said Sanchez ended up in the car with one of the groups of kids and told them to go home. Espinoza said the car later met up with the other vehicle at the corner of Northern and Taylor avenues. He said Sanchez, upset about what was happening to the teenagers, exchanged words with people in the other car and allegedly was shot in the chest. "He then drove up the block and crashed into a light pole. I think he drove off either to get away or to drive himself to the hospital, we are not sure at this time," Espinoza said. Sanchez later was transported to the hospital in an ambulance. Espinoza said since the two calls came in at the same time, police and emergency responders did not know that they were related. "The emergency responders were there for the crash and soon realized that he had a gunshot wound," Espinoza said. "So they hauled him off to the hospital." Espinoza said that during the investigation it was determined the two parties knew each other. "This little altercation stemmed up some old, bad feelings," Espinoza said. Espinoza said he has more details but couldn't comment because the incident remains under investigation. Police have not been able to determine if Sanchez was shot in his car or if he got out of the vehicle. "There are bullet holes in the car, but we can't determine if he was out of the car confronting somebody, or if the door was open and he got shot. There is nothing indicative of him being shot through the car," Espinoza said. Police blocked off Northern Avenue between Eilers and Taylor avenues. They still were on the scene at 8 a.m. today. Pueblo Chieftain - July 16, 2012 - Pueblo men arrested in fatal shooting - Two Pueblo men were arrested this afternoon in connection with a shooting that killed David F. Sanchez Jr. late Sunday. Sanchez, 40, was shot in the chest at the corner of Northern and Taylor avenues before crashing the car he was driving into a light pole two blocks away near Eilers Avenue. Randy Quaduor, 21, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. Alejandro Anchondo, 20, was arrested on suspicion of menacing with a deadly weapon. Police said Anchondo allegedly menaced another person prior to the deadly shooting. That person was not injured. Sanchez died after being taken to Parkview Medical Center. Each were jailed late Monday at Pueblo County jail without chance for bail. Police were called to the scene at 9:37 p.m. Sunday on a report of shots being fired at the South Side intersection. Two minutes later there was a report of a crash a block away on Eilers and Northern avenues. At the time, police said they did not know the calls were related. There were no other injuries. Officer Ken Espinoza said an altercation had taken place between the two parties that knew each other after they had attended the annual Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish festival. An arrest affidavit indicated that tension between members of a car club and ex-members of the club, including Anchondo, played a part in the altercation. Sanchez belonged to the car club. Sometime before the shooting, the group of kids started giving each other a hard time. One car started following the other one and they began to chase each other around, Espinoza said. The affidavit states that Anchondo and others chased a car with members of the car club in it, almost running them off the road, threatening them and stopping to fight at one point. The affidavit said that Raymond Bustamante, 33, of Pueblo told police that his son, who was riding in the car being chased, called him to tell him what was going on. He told police that he and his brother then went to meet his son at a Loaf 'N Jug on First Street and Santa Fe Avenue at about 9 p.m. Bustamante said his longtime friend Sanchez also showed up at the store in a 1993 Buick that was later crashed. The two then headed toward Northern Avenue, where they saw Anchondo walking near the Double Deuce bar. The affidavit said that after an exchange of words Anchondo pulled a gun on them. During that time frame, the affidavit said Quaduor also was called to come to the bar to help his friends. The affidavit said a person who was questioned by police said that Sanchez pulled up to Taylor Avenue in his car, squealing the tires, and words were exchanged. The affidavit states that Quaduor said he was standing near the bed of his 2001 Chevy Silverado on Taylor Avenue near the bar when he saw two to three muzzle flashes from a black handgun that Sanchez had pulled out and pointed at his friends. Police said a gun found in the car Sanchez crashed was a pellet gun. But in the affidavit, Quaduor said the gun Sanchez had was a small caliber and made a soft sound as it fired. Quaduor told police that Sanchez fired at his friends from the driver's seat of his car. Quaduor admitted that he pulled out a .357 Magnum and pointed it at the driver's side of Sanchez's vehicle, firing one shot at the car door. The affidavit states that Quaduor told police that as the car took off down Northern Avenue, he continued to fire as many as five more shots. Quaduor said he fired his weapon in defense of his friends because he was afraid of being harmed and felt danger for them. He told police that he felt it was a self-defense issue. (After the crash) he (Sanchez) then drove up the block and crashed into a light pole. I think he drove off either to get away or to drive himself to the hospital, we are not sure at this time, Espinoza said. Sanchez was transported from the crash scene to the hospital in an ambulance. The affidavit said he was unconscious when police arrived and suffered a gunshot wound to the left side of his chest near his armpit. Residents living on Berwind Avenue between Taylor and Eilers said they could hear gunshots We were just talking and then we heard like a boom, boom, boom, Natasha Basquez said. It was one right after another. Kayla Hammons, who lives with Basquez, said she heard about six shots. Traffic was diverted for most of the day Monday from Northern Avenue through Berwind Avenue where the two women live. In March 2010, Quaduor pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aiding a suicide, and received a one year deferred sentence. He completed his sentence and the case was dismissed. Quaduor, who was 18 years old at the time, allegedly provided a loaded gun for his elderly father, Edward Quaduor, 75, to use to commit suicide. Deputies found the elder Quaduor's body on Dec. 2, 2009, in a camping trailer at the home of a friend at 461 Park Lane. Edward Quaduor was found with a handgun on his chest and an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Pueblo Chieftain - July 17, 2012 - David Frank Sanchez Jr., 40, of Pueblo. Arrangements pending.

The affidavit said a person who was questioned by police said that Sanchez pulled up to Taylor Avenue in his car, squealing the tires, and words were exchanged. The jury heard from two other witnesses Wednesday afternoon. One stopped her testimony almost as soon as it began, invoking the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination, while the other had no memory of the events and admitted she wasn't a reliable witness. Detectives believe several rifles were stolen from Piserchio's home following his murder. Nancy Cruts had told Pueblo County sheriff's detectives that she helped Wilkerson transport a cache of rifles to a Denver house. But on the stand, Cruts claimed her memory was so tattered by chronic meth use that she remembered nothing about the trip or that it even happened. Under Reynolds' cross-examination, Cruts denied that her memory loss was purposeful to avoid possible weapons charges from other jurisdictions. She also said she couldn't remember telling detectives about a trip to DePierre's home to get meth or that no one was allowed to know who DePierre was. But Cruts did admit that her drug use not only affected her memory but her ability to perceive events as well. "Would you say that, during that time frame, in your opinion, you're not credible?" Reynolds asked. "Ye ma'am," Cruts said. Deputy District Attorney Robert Toole tried to get testimony from Cruts' mother, Lynn Cruts. The Cruts live together and Lynn Cruts was preparing to tell the jury about finding a Russian SKS assault rifle and a shotgun in their home in December 2009. But as soon as she mentioned taking the weapons into the woods in Red Rock State Park, defense attorney Charles Esquibel stopped the questioning and argued that Lynn Cruts was getting into an area where she could incriminate herself. The court recessed while prosecutors tried to reach El Paso County District Attorney's Office officials to see if they could guarantee Lynn Cruts immunity for her testimony, but were unable to do so. She may be called today if a deal can be struck. The trial continues today. Pueblo Chieftain - July 18, 2012 - Homicide suspect held without bail - A Pueblo man suspected in the Sunday killing of David Sanchez Jr. waived a video advisement of his potential charges Tuesday. Randy Quaduor's next scheduled court date is Monday. Quaduor, 21, was arrested Monday on suspicion of second-degree murder. Police initially were called to a report of shots fired on the South Side, then to a single-vehicle wreck nearby at Eilers and Northern avenues. Officers found Sanchez, 40, in his Chevy Silverado pickup truck with a gunshot wound to his chest. He died at Parkview Medical Center. Police said the shooting stemmed from an altercation between two parties earlier in the day. Quaduor said he fired at Sanchez after he brandished a gun at Quaduor and his friends. Quaduor remains in county jail without chance for bail pending a hearing, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office. Alejandro Anchondo, 20, did appear for his advisement and his bail was set at $50,000. Anchondo was arrested on suspicion of menacing. Police said he pulled a gun on Sanchez and Raymond Bustamante just prior to the shooting. Anchondo's next court date also is set for Monday. Sanchez, David Frank Sr. David F.

Indicative of this belief, Gilbert served his community on many board of director committees and commissions, such as the Colorado State University-Pueblo Foundation, St. Mary-Corwin Hospital Community Board of Directors, St. Mary-Corwin Healthcare Foundation, Wells Fargo Community Board of Directors, Pueblo Symphony Association, SyCare LLC, SyCare Options Colorado Health Networks, KTSC-TV Advisory Board, EPIC (El Pueblo Interdevelopment Corporation), Pueblo Child Advocacy Center, Spanish Peaks Foundation for Mental Health, honorary board member, Pueblo Economic Development Corporation (PEDCo), Pueblo Community Health Center Board of Directors, Pueblo Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Latino Chamber board president, Senior Citizen Resource Development and Coordinating Agency Board of Directors, and the Governor's Commission on Life and the Law. Gilbert loved life, and together with his wife, visited many foreign countries. Music was a great part of his life and he enjoyed dancing, the performing arts, gardening, and above all else, his wife and family. He shall be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Sanchez, Panta Leon Panta Leon Sanchez - Huerfano World - July 12, 2012 - by Nancy Christofferson - Huerfano pioneer P. L. Sanchez - The July 8, 1927 issue of the Walsenburg World carried the news of the death of one the city and county's most enthusiastic leaders. Although there were many pioneer families with the surname of Sanchez, this one member, born in Huerfano County in 1879, stands out as a steady contributor to the well being of the local people. Panta Leon, known as P.L. and occasionally, Pantaleon, was born to Antonio and Maria Reyes Sanchez. Antonio Jose was a stockraiser and later Walsenburg merchant who was born in New Mexico. The marriage records show Maria Reyes was named Lucero when she wed Antonio Dec. 23, 1876 at age 16, though her obituary said her maiden name was Castro. It also stated her family came from Spain, as did her new husband's, and that her father moved to Huerfano County in the 1860s. Reyes could well have been, even at the tender age of 16, a widow, but we'll let the family genealogists figure that out. P. L.'s birthplace was said to be the old A. Levy home that stood in what is now Heritage Park in Walsenburg. He was the eldest of Antonio and Reyes' 10 surviving children. P.L. married Sofia Maldonado, daughter of Canuto and Josefa Maldonado, July 21, 1897. Canuto is generally referred to as Baldonado, and, like Antonio Sanchez, was a successful merchant and loyal Catholic who generously donated toward the St. Mary Church building fund. In fact, Canuto's home was at Seventh and Main streets where an earlier Catholic church had been located. The wedding of P.L. and Sofia must have been a merry affair. Both were the offspring of fairly prosperous businessmen and following the ceremony, conducted by Father Ussell, there was a grand ball in Mazzone Hall. In 1900 P.L. won his first public office when he was elected county assessor. However, since he was, by Colorado law, too young to serve in public office, he was unable to take over and fulfill his duties so his father served in his stead until his majority. Meanwhile he served as his father's deputy and learned the finer details of assessing. At the time of his election, P.L. was one of Huerfano County's few college men, having attended Sacred Heart in Denver. P.L. was re-elected in the next five elections and served until 1912. In 1902 P.L. proved up on a homestead in the very eastern tip of the county near the Rattlesnake Buttes, and no doubt took up sheep raising like his father. At the same time he was having built an eight-room, brick home with the dimensions of 26 by 40 feet on Fifth Street, east of the old schoolhouse later known as Washington. The family moved in during October 1902. His and Sofia's only son, P.L. Jr., died there in November 1902 at the age of five months. They would go on to have more children, including another son named P.L. In May 1903 P.L. was elected as a director of the Walsenburg District #4 school board, and soon was serving as its president. Beginning in 1906 he was the interpreter for the school board when it had to deal with Spanish-speaking parents. He was president from at least 1909 to 1912. About the same time he was elected to the Walsenburg town council as a trustee. This was a decade or two before Walsenburg became a city. With his family and reputation growing, Panta Leon undertook another building project, this time a 10-room brick house on East Sixth. Following his public service, P.L. became a merchant, then in 1917 he opened a real estate and insurance office in the Roof and Dick building. He later moved his office down Main Street to the Victoria Hotel. P.L. died in July 1927 at the age of 48. Sofia lived on until 1941. They left nine children, who were listed as Evan, Tony, P.L. Jr., Joseph, Mrs. Roger Martinez, Mrs. Gilbert Trujillo, Mrs. Ted Gonzales, Mrs. K.P. Tuttle and Mrs. Jake Vallejos.

Sandoval, Cecilia DePaul (Sister) Cecelia De Paul Sandoval - Trinidad Times Independent - February 26, 2013 - Sister of Charity of Cincinnati, De Paul Sandoval died Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, at the age of 99 at Mother Margaret Hall, the nursing facility of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. She was born Cecilia Sandoval to parents Carlos and Louisa (Maldonado) Sandoval in El Frisco, Colo., May 27, 1913. Sister De Paul was a Sister of Charity for 79 years. Sister De Paul was born on a cattle ranch in the shadow of Fisher's Peak near Trinidad. It was her love for the work of St. Vincent de Paul among God's poor that led her to the Sisters of Charity. Sister De Paul was baptized at home by a Jesuit missionary who became a family friend; he was known as Father Good. He confirmed her at age 3 and allowed her to receive her First Communion at age 8 along with two of her sisters. Father Good used the teacher's chair for a confessional, hearing their confessions by the dim light of an oil lamp. Sister attended a rural, one-room school before going to St. Patrick's boarding academy in Raton. Sister attended Trinidad Junior College for one year, but missed the ranch and returned there to help her father round up cattle; it was during the Depression and they were not able to hire workers for the ranch. Seeing the many neighborhood children attend rural school without a religion teacher, Sister De Paul rounded up all in the area and started a class, preparing them for First Holy Communion. It was then that she felt God's call to help round up souls. She knocked on the door of Holy Trinity Convent in Trinidad, Sister of Charity Mother Mary Regina Russell answered and the rest is history. Sister De Paul received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1946 from Catholic Teacher's College, Albuquerque. Sister taught for 50 years, beginning at St. Leo, Detroit, Mich., in 1935. She ministered in education in Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado and Michigan, including her native Trinidad at Holy Trinity School. Sister referred to her most fulfilling days in education as being at St. Francis and San Felipe Schools, Albuquerque, where the children were among the very poorest. Retirement from the classroom in 1985 did not slow down Sister De Paul; it allowed her to pursue other ministries she had long desired to do in the Trinidad area. She and Sister Francis Beatrice Hennigan had visited prisoners on the quiet, as she said, while teaching in Albuquerque; in Trinidad the jail was only five blocks. She began a ministry to the inmates at the Las Animas County Jail which she continued for 11 years. Each week she would visit as many as 20 prisoners, taking reading material, rosaries and candy bars. On Saturday she carried Communion to them. Those in lock-up received a personal visit in their cells while others gathered in a common room where they sat and listened to gospel stories, music or just talked. Sister brought the prisoners encouragement in her words of faith and hope. She was instrumental in the establishment of the Open Door Soup Kitchen in Trinidad, She also taught catechism in the mission parishes including Branson and Hoehne. She visited the homebound, and taught mentally handicapped adults at the Community College. Their goal was to earn their GED. She walked the streets of Trinidad, ministering to the troubled youth as well, always seeking to instill in them the desire to improve themselves and their surroundings. A verse she recited in high school remained her desire for her final assignment. When I die and go to heaven I don't want harps, robes, haloes or other fancy things Just let me ride the starry ranges On a pinto horse with wings. Sister Joan Groff said Sister De Paul was at every activity in Mother Margaret Hall and seemed to enjoy herself right up to the last week before she died. She was an inspiration just to watch. She loved art classes. I will miss her loving presence. Sister Marty Dermody remembered Sister's love of nature. When De Paul's niece Anita would visit she would bring Sister to the bird banding station. She told me her favorite bird was the Western Meadowlark. I was able to get her a little stuffed bird, her favorite, and she would play that bird's song many times in her room. Rest in peace my friend.

Referring to herself as a child bride, she married quite young to Martin R. Santoyo.

In the late 1940s and early '50s, she became a nurses aide at then-St. Mary's Hospital, and through study and hard work, she progressed up the ladder to become a licensed practical nurse. In the 1950s, she sought and gained employment at then-Colorado State Hospital, where she worked in the geriatrics department until 1969.

During this period, Josephine also operated a small business, MarJo Lamination Studio, (1974-1987) out of her home and later added video sales and moved the business to the Mesa Junction area. During her business career, she was active with the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and the Latino Chamber of Commerce and she was a very active member of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the American Business Women Association, where she served in various capacities. She continued ABWA participation following the closing of her lamination business and in 1990, she was awarded ABWA Woman of the Year, an achievement she was proud of. When WATS Marketing opened its doors, she worked there briefly as a telephone associate, where her bilingual talents greatly were appreciated. Not one to sit idle, she took employment at the Four Seasons Nursing Home as dessert planner and baker. Following this stint, she left all business connections and retired to her home. A rest well earned. In the early 1990s, Josephine lost her left leg, which left her confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of her days. The immediate family expresses their thanks for the calls and cards of prayers and support we have received.

Sawyer, Chester Chester Sawyer - Colorado Springs Gazette - December 27, 1998 - Crash Kills Pueblo Man, 82 - Stolen Car Hit 3 Vehicles, Police Say - An 82-year-old Pueblo man was killed Saturday when the car he was riding in broadsided another car that spun into its path on Fountain Boulevard just west of Academy Boulevard. Chester Sawyer was pronounced dead at Memorial Hospital from massive head and chest injuries. He was the backseat passenger in a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville. The crash was one of three that involved a car stolen minutes before at a car wash on East Pikes Peak Avenue about one block west of Academy, Colorado Springs police traffic Sgt. David Whitlock said. Whitlock said Deborah Blea, 22, the owner of a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, was at a self-serve car wash when an acquaintance approached her and asked if he could sit in her car while she washed it. But once inside the car, Whitlock said, the man started it and drove away. About two miles south of Pikes Peak on Academy, the man drove the Eclipse around a mini-van driven by Teresa Weott. The Eclipse hit the van, causing minor damage. Weott was not hurt, Whitlock said. "He was southbound in the northbound lane," said Weott, who at the time of the incident was waiting for the southbound Academy light at Fountain. "Then he swerved and cut across traffic." An officer saw the Eclipse's erratic path and tried to pull the driver over, Whitlock said. "The officer made a U-turn, but the driver took off," Whitlock said. The officer did not pursue the driver, fearing for the safety of other motorists, Whitlock said. The Eclipse then turned west onto Fountain and pulled about one-quarter mile ahead of the officer. The officer saw the Eclipse's driver lose control and then spin across four lanes of traffic, hitting two cars before coming to a stop. "It sounded just like a bomb going off," said Craig Hicks, who had just pulled into a parking space at a nearby apartment complex. "It scared me to death." Witnesses said the Eclipse was traveling at a high rate of speed. Whitlock said tests to determine the speed were not complete late Saturday. The Eclipse clipped an Isuzu Amigo driven by Cheryl Garcia, 37, before slamming into a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville driven by Shirley Sawyer, 45. Garcia, who swerved her Izuzu to avoid the crash, was treated and released from Memorial Hospital. Chester Sawyer was in the back seat of the Pontiac, which was being driven by his daughter-in-law, Shirley Sawyer. Shirley Sawyer and a front-seat passenger, Lloyd Baker, 33, were taken to Memorial. Shirley Sawyer was listed in stable condition and was still being treated late Saturday. Baker was treated for a broken leg and released. Debris from that crash hit Ben Vigil's car as he was heading east on Fountain. Inside were his 3-month-old and 3-year-old children. Just before the crash, the driver of the Pontiac had passed his car, Vigil said. "If she would have switched lanes, we would have been hit," Vigil said. Joseph A. Torres, 24, was taken to Penrose Hospital where he was treated, then released to police. Whitlock said Torres was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence, auto theft and vehicular homicide. Sawyer, John W. John W.

The accident occurred near where the Colorado and Southern tracks cross the Santa Fe, near the smelter. It seams that Sawyer was on his way to work and did not hear the Train approaching. Just below the point where he was struck there is a curve in the track which made it impossible for the engineer on the freight to see the unfortunate man walking on the track. As soon as the engineer discovered Sawyer he blew the whistle, but it seems that Sawyer was slow in getting off the tracks and engine struck him. The body was carried for a distance of almost 200 yards and the sight which met the eyes of the trainmen when they had succeeded in stopping the freight was a sickening one. The body of the victim was horribly mangled and blood, flesh, and parts of clothing were scattered all along the track. A body was probably never worse mangled by a train. Death resulted almost instantly. There was a large gash in his head, his left eye was entirely knocked out, his body disemboweled, the left leg was entirely severed from the body, and the right leg was almost severed. Bert Blanton, who was on his way to work witnessed the accident and was of the opinion that Sawyer had plenty of time to get out of the way after the engine whistle was blown. It was evident that the victim though that he had plenty of time and that he did not start to leave the tracks until the engine was almost upon him and then it was too late. Sawyer was a single man about 35 years of age and was well known in the city. He resided with an aunt, Mrs. Burton, at 819 West Fifth Street. He took much interest in fraternal orders and was an active member in the Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of the World. Coroner McDonnell is of the opinion that the engineer of the freight was not to blame and does not feel that it is necessary to hold an inquest. Sawyer, Nancy F. Nancy F.

Sayles was one of the well-known businessmen of Pueblo. He was a veteran of the Civil War, but a young man of push and energy and a man who was thoroughly popular with everyone in the town. He formed a partnership with John D. Miller, who died here a few years ago, loved and respected by all who knew him and the two embarked in the grocery business on Santa Fe Ave., the firm name being Sayles & Miller, and for a number of years they conducted the largest and best grocery store in Pueblo. They then dissolved partnership and Mr. Sayles went to Calif. and settled at Westgate, where he resided until 23 March, when his death occurred, as the following telegram of the 24th instant, published in a Los Angeles paper, will explain: "Westgate, March 24 Apparently having a premonition of his approaching death, Capt. T. W. Sayles, 78, a Civil War veteran, commonly directed a woman in an adjoining room to send for the doctor. 'Not that it will be of any use, said the man,' 'for I will be dead in half an hour.' "Mrs. A. Lewis the neighbor, sent for a physician. When he arrived, in less than a half an hour, Capt. Sayles was dead. It is believed death resulted from heart trouble. The body is at the Finch Undertaking Parlors at Sawtelle. "And Sayles lived at 1150 Darlington St., Westgate. He suffered from the infirmities of old age, but was as well as usual when he went to bed last night." Mr. Sayles was a single man, and as far as known had no relatives in Calif. or Colo., and for a number of years had lived the life of a recluse. There are many old-timers still living in Pueblo, however, who will regret to hear of the death of "Tommy" Sayles, as his former friends were delighted to call him. Saylor, Kenneth L. Kenneth L.

Sr. Rollie Schafer - Trinidad Times Independent - January 9, 2007 - Pharmacist - Rollie Schafer, 93, of Denton, Texas, died January 2, 2007, at the Lake Forest Good Samaritan Village in Denton. Mr. Schafer was born February 8, 1918, in Higbee, Mo., the youngest of nine children to Frank Henry Schafer Sr. and Henrietta Cruse Schafer. Rollie grew up in the coal camps of Southern Colorado, coming of age in Cokedale, a coal mining community west of Trinidad. When he graduated from Trinidad High School in 1930, his dad told him that he would be the first of his family to go to college. But Rollie protested, saying that he wanted to be a coal miner like his dad and his older brothers. They struck a bargain. Rollie would go to college during the academic year, then return in the summer to mine coal. In the summer of 1931, Rollie suffered a broken leg when the mine roof caved in on him. Returning to the University of Colorado at Boulder on crutches that fall, he never mined again. Mr. Schafer earned one of the last of the University of Colorado's three-year pharmacy degrees in 1933. He stayed on to earn one of the first four-year degrees in 1934. Because pharmacy jobs were hard to get, he stayed on as a graduate student in chemistry, which paid better than any pharmacy job. Rollie married a Boulder girl, Marjorie June Mason on June 6, 1936 in nearby Golden, Colo. After working as a pharmacist in Walsenburg and Denver, he and Lloyd Lohmeyer, a friend from the pharmacy school borrowed money to purchase a drug store in 1946 in rural Akron, Colo. on the wheat growing high plains of Eastern Colorado. The world demand for wheat after World War II buoyed the business and Rollie paid off the loan and bought out his partner in 1951. Mr. Schafer sold the drugstore in 1973 and retired to Longmont where he worked part time at several pharmacies. He later remembered, We had customers in Akron, but we only thought of them as customers. After we retired, we realized that many of our customers were really our best friends. The Schafer's moved to Denton to be near their only son and their grandchildren in 1996. After Mrs. Schafer moved to the Nursing Center at the Lake Forest Good Samaritan Village in 2002, Mr. Schafer moved to his grandson's house near Lake Forest so that he could visit her daily. He moved to Lake Forest in August 2006. A memorial service was held in the Chapel of the Lake Forest Good Samaritan Village in Denton January 7. Mr. Schafer's ashes will be interred at Green Mountain Cemetery in Boulder next summer. Mr. Schafer is survived by his wife Marjorie; his only child, Rollie Schafer Jr., and his wife Sue; his two grandsons, Tony and his wife Shirley and their two children, Christopher and Lindsy, and Ben and his wife Kim, all of Denton. Arrangements were under the direction of Denton Funeral Home and Cremation Services. Schafer, William B. Jr. William (Bill) B.

Reverend Thomas Scheets - Colorado Springs Gazette - August 8, 1996 - 2 Priests Slain in Pueblo - Bodies Found Inside Rectory - Pueblo - Two priests were found slain Wednesday night in a church rectory on the city's east side. When one of the priests did not show up at an evening engagement, a friend went to the rectory of St. Leander's at about 6:15 p.m. and found the victims in separate rooms, according to Charlene Graham, deputy chief of the Pueblo Police Department. The priests were identified by Coroner Jim Kramer as the Rev. Tom Sheets and the Rev. Louis Stovick. Both suffered "multiple trauma" to the torso, but police would not be specific. The men were last seen about 3 p.m. by clerical workers. Graham said nothing appeared to be stolen. A crowd of about 100 mourners milled outside the church early into this morning, consoling one another and reciting the rosary. A 3-foot framed painting of Jesus was propped against a tree, surrounded by candles. Terri Brelsford, a 15-year member of the church, said "Father Tom," as he was known, helped her nephews get a seminary scholarhship. "I don't know what our church is going to do without them (the two priests)." Colorado Springs Gazette - August 9, 1996 - Parishioner Arrested in Slaying of Priests - Pueblo Police Still Seeking Motive in Deadly Attack - Pueblo - As scores of St. Leander Church members prayed over candelight Thursday for the souls of two priests who were slain Wednesday, police arrested a 20-year-old parishioner and jailed him on suspicion of committing the crimes. Police took Douglas James Comiskey into custody Thursday evening and booked him into Pueblo County Jail on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder. Comiskey is a member of St. Leander, a parish of about 1,500 working-class, mostly Hispanic families on Pueblo's east side, said Pueblo Police Chief Ruben Archuleta. Archuleta said investigators still do not know what motivated the attack in which the Rev. Louis Stovik, 77, and Rev. Thomas Scheets, 65, were killed. Scheets had been pastor of St. Leander Catholic Church since 1990, and Stovik was a retired priest who had lived at the church rectory for three years. Deputy Coroner Kim Wittrup said both men had been stabbed in the torso, but Archuleta would not say if a weapon had been recovered. The bloodied bodies of the two men were found in separate rooms of the rectory Wednesday at about 6:15 p.m. by the Rev. William Powers, a fellow priest who stopped by to check in on his friends. Archuleta said physical evidence at the crime scene led them to investigate Comiskey. He declined to describe the evidence. Late Thursday, police literally swarmed over a house near the church, climbing onto the roof, taking pictures and measurements and repeatedly entering and leaving. Comiskey lived with his mother in the house, owned by his grandmother. Detectives also spent late Wednesday and all day Thursday combing every inch of the two-story, blondbrick rectory for blood, fingerprints, hair and other clues. Colorado Bureau of Investigation officers also worked the scene. Officers did find a trail of blood drops leading from the front door of the rectory - which is behind the church and faces north - leading to Risley Middle School to the west. All day Thursday, police had said next to nothing about the investigation. Archuleta said detectives were pursuing a "good lead," but did not elaborate. Then, at 7 p.m., Archuleta announced police would make an arrest within the next couple of hours. "We felt the anxiety in the neighborhood," the chief said. "We wanted them to know we're on top of this. We want to ease the fears in the community. This is still a very safe community." Applause erupted among the 100 or so people gathered outside the yellow police tape surrounding the church and rectory when news of the impending arrest reached them. "They have to answer to the man upstairs. When they do that, they're in trouble," said Robert Lopez, 24, raised from childhood in the St. Leander parish community. Before the arrest, police gathered some of the 54 priests of the Pueblo Diocese at a secret location to discuss their safety. "We have no idea of the motive," Archuleta said at the time, "so we assume other priests could be a target." As news of the slayings spread late Wednesday and early Thursday, hundreds of people assembled an impromptu shrine outside the church. People lined up in the nearby Safeway to buy candles, which were placed along the sidewalk next to St. Leander, along with pictures of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, flowers and a red rose surrounded by blue tissue paper and the single word: "Why?" On the front door of the church, a sign read: "No daily Mass until further notice." Arthur Tafoya, bishop of the Pueblo Diocese, said there would be a Sunday Mass. The diocese had no information about a memorial service or funeral arrangements. Ten Catholic Social Service counselors set up a crisis counseling center in the church gym, where they met with at least 200 people. At noon, about 25 mourners said the Rosary in the sweltering sun in the middle of Seventh Street outside the church. Meanwhile, downtown at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Tafoya led the noon Mass for about 100 people. Two candles glowed on the altar, and many wept as the bishop spoke about Scheets and Stovik. "These men gave their lives to build the Church of God," Tafoya said. Tafoya urged prayers for the slain priests, their families and friends, the parishioners of St. Leander - and the suspected killer. "We must pray for the person or persons who committed this traumatic crime," he said. "May they also know God's love and God's mercy." As investigators continued tight-lipped with their grim work, parishioners, friends and relatives of the slain priests poured out their anguish. "I'm like a fish out of water," the Rev. Powers said Thursday from the living room of his home just a block away from St. Leander. "I've lost my best friend." Both priests had deep ties to the community. Each worked closely on the Catholic High Initiative - a push to get a Catholic high school in Pueblo. Those who knew Scheets said he reached out to younger people, even to the point of wearing a leather jacket, boots and a wallet chain. "Father Tom would give his arm for anyone," said Carlos Arguello, 17, at student at Centennial High in Pueblo. "It's sad to see two good priests go." Stovik was described as a man who held fast to deep Catholic traditions. "He was stern but gentle," said Jeff Moore, whose children were baptized by Stovik. "He was just like a parent. He would tell you what you did wrong, why and then how to fix it." Stovik had just retired from the administrative end of church business. Even so, those who knew him said Stovik would get up at 5:30 a.m. every day to deliver Communion to the sick. And every evening after dinner, he would walk the church parking lot - kicking rocks off it so people wouldn't trip over them. "He would always give me hell for not going to church," Moore said. "He was ornery, but he was the nicest man in the world you'd ever wanted to meet." Many others, including brothers of Scheets, said the priests often would open their door to beggars asking for money or food. "He was a kind and gentle person," said Sam Scheets, brother of Thomas and an employee of the Illinois Department of Public Aid. "I know he was quite often approached by poor people and the homeless and he helped them. It's very shocking." The Rev. Francis Kelley Scheets of All Saints Parish in New York City flew to Pueblo on Thursday after hearing about his brother. "He never turned anyone away," Francis said of his brother. And that, Bishop Tafoya said, might have led Stovik and Scheets to the fateful encounter. "In our violent society, clergy and religious are no longer exempt," Tafoya said. "These men dedicated their lives in the service of the Catholic Church. Sadly, they died while still carrying out their priestly ministry." Brothers In The Cloth - The two Catholic priests slain in Pueblo were raised by hard-working, lower middle class families who were devoutly Catholic, family members said Thursday during telephone interviews. And both had brothers who became Catholic priests. "I've lost a good friend," said Sam Scheets, a younger brother of the Rev. Thomas Scheets. "It's very shocking. I'm upset that he was taken like this." The Rev. Thomas Scheets - The Rev. Thomas Scheets was born March 10, 1931, in Aurora, Ill. He was one of four brothers, said Sam Scheets, 61. The Scheets boys were raised in Minneapolis; their father worked in a flour mill, and their mother was a homemaker. Thomas Scheets followed the footsteps of an older brother, Francis, who is also a priest, Sam Scheets said from his home in Jacksonville, Ill. The brothers attended seminary in Indiana while they were in high school, said Sam Scheets. Thomas Scheets was ordained on May 26, 1956, in Fort Wayne, Ind. He came to Colorado in 1975 as an associate pastor at La Junta Catholic Parish. The following includes highlights of his career, according to the Diocese of Pueblo: Appointed pastor, St. Leander Parish in Pueblo, July 1990; Appointed pastor, La Junta Catholic Parish in La Junta, July 1981; Appointed co-pastor of St. Michael Parish in Delta and St. Philip Mission in Cedaredge, June 1980; Appointed associate pastor, St. Michael Parish in Delta, August 1978. He also served on several diocese boards, including the Clergy Benefit Society Board, Diocese of Pueblo Salary Structure and Policy Committee and Finance Advisory Council. He also was a liaison for the bishop for several parishes in southeastern Colorado near La Junta. The Rev. Louis Stovik - The Rev. Louis Stovik was born Sept. 5, 1918, in Curlew, a small town in Ferry County, Wash. He was one of 11 children - 10 boys and one girl - said his brother, Conrad Stovik, 88, during a telephone conversation from his home in Washington state. The children were raised in a rural area, where their parents were cattle ranchers, Conrad Stovik said. The family was devoutly Catholic and attended Mass regularly, said Conrad Stovik, a retired sawmill worker. Four of the brothers became priests, said Conrad Stovik. Louis Stovik was ordained on June 11, 1949, in Fargo, N.D. He came to Colorado after being appointed assistant pastor for St. Columba Parish in Durango in July 1949, according to the Diocese of Pueblo. The following includes highlights of his career, according to the Diocese of Pueblo: Named diocesan chaplain, for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, 1988; Appointed pastor, St. Therese Parish in Vineland, July 1983; Appointed associate pastor, Christ the King Parish in Pueblo, August 1972; Appointed chaplain, Sacred Heart Orphanage and director of athletics at Pueblo Catholic High School, 1953. The Rev. Stovik held numerous other positions at several parishes, schools and hospitals. Picture caption: Sadie Martinez, left, grandmother of slaying suspect Douglas Comiskey, was planning to dine with the Rev. Thomas Scheets on Wednesday, the same day the priest was found dead, along with the Rev. Louis Stovik, at Pueblo's St. Leander rectory. Martinez, who worked in the rectory for 20 years, is hugged Thursday by fellow parishioner Leroy Garcia hours before it was announced her grandson was a suspect. Colorado Springs Gazette - August 10, 1996 - Pueblo Slayings Suspect Had History of Instability - Preliminary Report Finds Two Priests Bled to Death From Multiple Wounds - Pueblo - The man accused of slaying two St. Leander priests led a troubled life checkered with criminal activity, drugs and mental problems. But those who knew 20-year-old Douglas James Comiskey couldn't fathom him committing the crimes police suspect he carried out. "I've known Doug since he was a baby," said neighbor Jean Gonzalez. "This is sad, very sad. I feel sad for Doug." Comiskey faces two first-degree murder charges in the Wednesday deaths of the Rev. Thomas Scheets, 65, and the Rev. Louis Stovik, 77, both who lived in the rectory of the eastside church. Comiskey remained in the Pueblo County Jail without bail on Friday. No motive has emerged, as Comiskey refused to talk to investigators, said Pueblo Police Chief Ruben Archuleta. Investigators and attorneys surrounding the case were tight-lipped Friday. Police investigators believe Comiskey went into the priests' two-story home behind the church sometime Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. William Powers, who lives nearby, discovered Scheets' bloody body lying face down in the living room. He said he found Stovik, who had suffered a head wound, in an office in the back of the rectory. Comiskey was arrested Thursday night - 28 hours after the bodies were discovered. An autopsy showed both men bled to death from multiple puncture wounds, said Sgt. Dave Santos, the deputy county coroner. He said a pathologist's report, still to be completed, may determine the weapon and the number of wounds. Comiskey waived a hearing advising him of his rights Friday, shortly after being assigned to public defender Doug Wilson. Wilson successfully helped defend Eugene Baylis, who faced numerous felony charges in the 1993 shooting death of two Colorado Springs bar patrons. Tenth Judicial District Attorney Gus Sandstrom asked for Comiskey's file in this case to be sealed, and District Judge Eugene Halaas agreed. Halaas went a step further and slapped a gag order on everyone involved in the case. Neighbors, former classmates and past co-workers describe Comiskey as an unemployed high-school dropout trying to rebound from bouts with drugs, crime and mental problems. Comiskey - known in the neighborhood as "Dougie" - had returned in January after a month long stay in a Denver hospital psychiatric ward. It was the culmination of what appeared to be a troubled few years. In August 1993, Comiskey was present when two friends were hit by gunfire from an Uzi assault rifle, according to published reports. Then in March 1995, he stole his mother's television set and jewelry from her home - after he had been evicted - and hawked them at a neighborhood pawn shop, earlier court documents state. He later admitted the crime, as well as telling police he started drinking alcohol when he was 16 years old and using marijuana when he was 17. The 6-foot, brown-eyed man, who loved to shoot hoops with neighborhood children, lived with his grandmother and his mother in a cream-colored bungalow across the street from St. Leander. Gonzalez, 49, has lived across from the church - and two doors down from Comiskey - for 30 years. Gonzalez said her 15-year-old son, Rafael, would often play basketball with Comiskey. She remembers Comiskey helping set up for the church carnival just last month. The manager of a Pueblo Hardees fast-food restaurant offered Comiskey a job once he was released from the hospital, but he refused because he told her he was on anti-depressant medication. "He was never violent with any of the kids," Gonzalez said. "He was the furthest person in my mind who would do anything to a priest." Comiskey also volunteered for the Boys Club, which met at the St. Leander Gym. Boys Club officials had "no comment" on his work there. "He was a nice kid," Gonzalez said. "He was pretty wild back then, but when he came back from Denver he was reversed. Like a totally different kid." Gonzalez said the change was most evident in his eyes. "His eyes were real funny," she said. "Glaring, looking eyes." Although his parents, Pat and Georgia Comiskey, divorced when he was a child, Comiskey grew up surrounded by the unyielding love of Sadie Martinez, his 84-year-old grandmother who spent two decades cooking and cleaning inside the rectory. Because of Martinez - whom neighbors described as "The Walking Saint" - the church was a part of his life from the beginning. The morning after the killings, Martinez joined mourners in front of the rectory, remembering fondly the two priests to whom she made daily visits. "I don't think she knew," said Marie Labo, 72, a longtime friend. "She was such a lovable woman." Both Martinez and Georgia Comiskey were staying at an undisclosed location on Friday and couldn't be reached for comment. Like many youths in the neighborhood, Comiskey attended East High School. Several former classmates said they most remember his action on the soccer field. In the 1992 yearbook, Comiskey is pictured on both the varsity and junior varsity soccer teams. Comiskey, who has a sister and brother, also was an avid basketball player. "He would walk in front of the house alone or with another boy, bouncing a ball," said Bob Lopez, a 63-year-old neighbor. "He would say `hi' but that was about it." Comiskey is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 19. Funeral services for the priests are tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m. on Monday at the Colorado State Fairgrounds. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 11, 1996 - A Call For Forgiveness - Hundreds Congregate in Pueblo to Grieve and Pray for Slain Priests - Pueblo - They came to pray for the ones who had once led them in prayer. The grieving parishioners filed into St. Leander - 350 strong - genuflected, and slowly filled the wooden pews of the 71-year-old church. The weight of grief pushed down as they gathered Saturday for the first time in many years without their leaders - the Revs. Thomas Scheets, 65, and Louis Stovik, 77. The priests were slain Wednesday just beyond the wall behind the church altar. A parishioner, 20-year-old Douglas James Comiskey, faces two first-degree murder charges in their deaths. It still seems like a bad dream, said John Arguello, 60. It seems like I'm going to walk back in there, and they'll be standing there. To those who attend St. Leander, the church in this close-knit, mostly Hispanic neighborhood is more than bricks and mortar. It is their rock, a gathering place for 1,500 families who attend services. They are a family. And Saturday night, the leaders of the Diocese of Pueblo challenged this family to perform what most would consider a Herculean task: Forgive the killer. What do we pray in the 'Our Father' - Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, Bishop Arthur Tafoya told the parishioners. If you find it hard to forgive, look at the cross with Jesus Christ and his hands outstretched, Tafoya said. The whole world was against him, yelling 'crucify him.' And what did he say: 'Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.' He touched my life in several ways, Dorothy Lopez, 44, said of Father Tom. This leaves a big hole in my life. Scheets had buried Lopez's husband, married her daughter and baptized her son and granddaughter. Many residents say the church is the focal point of this lower-income neighborhood. Students from nearby Risley Middle School attended classes in the church while the school was closed for chemical contamination last spring. Children can often be found playing basketball in the gym - part of a Catholic grade school that closed in the early 1970s. Boys Club members also gather at the gym, which until recently also was the site of weekly bingo games. And every year, residents congregate in the church lot for a fund-raising carnival. That doesn't include all the families who gather for Masses, weddings, funerals, baptisms and first communions. It seems as though someone is always around, said Jean Gonzalez, 49, who has lived across the street from the church for 30 years. We are united regardless of what has happened, said Arguello, a 46-year parishioner. We are one big family. The day after the priests' bodies were discovered, Bishop Tafoya asked people to pray for the person responsible. Tafoya said Saturday he plans to send District Attorney Gus Sandstrom a letter, urging him not to seek the death penalty in the case. The death penalty is not the way to go, he said. That is using violence with violence. I know people are angry, said the Rev. Edward Nunez. But they need to forgive and move on. Nunez, now vicar general for the diocese, accepted his first assignment as pastor of St. Leander in 1975. He stayed in that role for four years. It is important because now is really a time for the community to practice what it preaches, Nunez said. It's what Christ would have done. This is all part of loving your neighbor as yourself. Crisis counselor Frank Dunn sat in the St. Leander gym all day Friday to talk to parishioners. Anger is a natural part of grieving, he said. Without it, the healing can't completely occur, Dunn said. But Dunn acknowledged that finding forgiveness in their hearts will be difficult for some people. The community needs to come together and talk and share their grief, he said. They need to share their faith and stand together. Bob Lopez, 63, also lives near the church. He knows forgiveness would be the Christlike thing to do, but he's not sure it's possible for him. Father Tom was not only my spiritual leader, he was my friend. Lopez's neighbor, Jeff Moore, enjoyed a close relationship with Stovik. The retired priest baptized both his children. What (the killer) did was flat out wrong. He will pay for that come judgment day, Moore said. I'm angry, you bet. Something was taken from me Priests are supposed to stand for all that's good in the human race. To have that thrown away doesn't make sense. Forgiveness? I may be able to forgive the person, but I cannot forgive the act, Moore said. There could be many who feel as Moore does, but Dorothy Lopez feels sure she knew her priest's heart. I do know Father Tom would have forgiven. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 13, 1996 - Saying Goodbye - Pueblo Gathers to Mourn Slain Priests - Pueblo - Heather and Samantha Corral, 12 and 8, came to the Colorado State Fairgrounds on Monday dressed in their Sunday best - frilly dresses and fancy bows - to say goodbye to the priest who had baptized them. The two pretty, dark-eyed girls were joined at the Events Center by 3,800 other people from every neighborhood of this close-knit town, a community that takes family and faith seriously. They came to the indoor arena to celebrate the lives of two Roman Catholic priests - the Revs. Thomas Scheets and Louis C. Stovik - who were stabbed to death in their rectory Wednesday. They came to find solace and strength in the ancient rituals of a Catholic Mass, a ceremony presided over this day by five bishops and an arch bishop, all dressed in cream-colored vestments. But vestments, rituals and liturgy meant little to Heather and Samantha. They just know Father Tom won't be there to greet them at the Spanish-speaking Mass at St. Leander Church on the city's east side. They're really upset about it. They cried for days, said the girls' mother, Sharon, who herself grew up two blocks from the church and remains a volunteer there. They don't want to go to Mass because Father Tom is not going to be there to greet them. He used to tell them he was proud of them for getting up early for the 8 o'clock Mass. But their father, Henry, said, It's reality. They're going to have to deal with it. That's something the city of Pueblo will have to do, too, said usher and Knights of Columbus member Gilbert Pacheco. I think in the long run, the killings are going to unite the community. Something good is going to come out of it. Salesman Jinks Chavez, who is not Catholic but who came to the Mass out of respect, said the packed service itself shows how special his city is, a city where extended family ties link neighborhoods and classes. It's brought the community together, he said. I'm sure people of all faiths are here. We always got along pretty good, but this has brought us even closer together. Across town and four days removed from the anguish, grief and anger that poured out of the community on news of the slayings, the eastside neighborhood surrounding the church was back to normal. Last week was pure hell - not knowing who's who, or who's supposed to be here and who's not. This is how it's supposed to be, said Irene Moore, who lives directly across from the front door of St. Leander. People I've never seen before were standing in front of the church for hours, trying to keep candles lit in the wind, said Irene's husband, Jeff. The Moores opted not to attend the services at the State Fairgrounds; they wanted a break from crowds. I took a ride out to the cemetery, said Irene Moore. Father Scheets is just 11 plots away from my grandmother. I didn't want to see the bodies; I wanted to remember them alive, added her husband. Sadie Martinez, the grandmother of the 20-year-old man suspected in the killings, Douglas Comiskey, attended the funeral with her family. The neighborhood is really worried about her. We hope she has the strength to get through this, said Jeff Moore. At the same time Mass was taking place at the State Fairgrounds, business carried on as usual downtown. But there were some indications the city is still grappling with a return to normality. Sophista Kats Inc., a women's apparel store on Main Street, posted the sign Closed Today in Memory of the Rev. Thomas Scheets and the Rev. Louis Stovik. May They Rest in Peace. In the B & A Bootery, on Main Street, employees Phil Vigil and John Rivera considered what kind of toll the tragedy would take on the community. The wound is never going to completely heal, said Vigil. People will mourn, but life must go on. We can't let this hold the community back, you've got to forgive. The neighborhood's been somber and quiet, but it will come back probably stronger than ever. Many people said they would try to heed the advice of Bishop Arthur Tafoya, who said during the service, In our tragedy, we must learn to love and forgive. But that doesn't mean they'll forget - especially Father Tom, who topped off his all-black wardrobe with a black motorcycle jacket. I told him he looked like a biker - all he needed was a motorcycle, said Henry Corral. It's going to be hard to find someone to replace him, said Sharon Corral. Everyone was so used to his ways, his laughter, his jokes. He always made jokes. Stovik was cut from a stricter, sterner cloth. Bishop Tafoya told mourners that where Father Tom would give him a quick hug and run off to other duties, Father Stovik would look at me and proceed to give me some advice. After the standing-room only Mass, about 200 friends, family members and priests drove to Roselawn Cemetery where Scheets was to be buried. (Stovik will be buried in North Dakota.) Among those saying goodbye was the Rev. Ron Roache. He said the priests who rode to the cemetery together in a bus were talking about how Father Tom would have reacted to the solemn Mass said for him and Stovik. He would have said 'Enough! Enough! Enough!' said Roache. Father Tom was known for his short funerals. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 17, 1996 - Suspect in Priests' Slayings Arrested at Medical Clinic - Pueblo - The suspect in the slayings of two Catholic priests was arrested at a clinic where he had gone to have a cut finger treated, the Pueblo Chieftain reported Friday. The Chieftain said sources told the newspaper 20-year-old Douglas Comiskey was arrested at the Family Medical Center. By coincidence, that is where Pueblo Coroner James Kramer works as a physician's assistant. Kramer is in charge of the autopsies being performed on the Rev. Thomas Scheets, 65, who was pastor of St. Leander Catholic Church, and the Rev. Louis Stovik, 77, a retired priest who lived with Scheets in the parish rectory. Authorities said the men bled to death in the rectory from stab wounds Aug. 7. Comiskey was arrested Aug. 9 and is being held without bond on two counts of first-degree murder. A gag order has been imposed in the case, so information about his arrest and the evidence that led to it are under seal. The Chieftain said it has learned police were alerted to Comiskey through a Family Medical Center staffer who suspected Comiskey might be involved in the priests' deaths. Medical personnel became suspicious when Comiskey told them he had injured his hand by slamming it in a car door, then said he did not recall how he hurt his hand, the Chieftain said. A center staffer called police, according to the newspaper. The Chieftain said its sources reported that Comiskey was accompanied by his mother Thursday morning when he sought medical attention for the cut. When he was arrested, he had a bandaged hand. Pueblo Police Chief Ruben Archuleta confirmed that Comiskey was brought in willingly from there when we started to follow up some leads. Comiskey's first court appearance is Monday in Pueblo District Court, where the judge will review whether bond should be set and schedule further court dates. Colorado Springs Gazette - August 22, 1996 - Priest Slaying Suspect Sought Care, Paper Says - Pueblo - Less than two weeks before he was charged with the slayings of two Catholic priests, the 20-year-old suspect sought psychiatric treatment, according to a newspaper report. The Pueblo Chieftain said in its Wednesday edition that sources said Douglas James Comiskey and his mother went to the emergency room at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital in late July. He was examined by the psychiatrist on duty, who recommended that he be hospitalized, but Comiskey refused hospitalization, the Chieftain reported. Comiskey has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of the Revs. Thomas Scheets, 65, and Louis Stovik, 77. Comiskey lived across the street from the St. Leander Church rectory where they were found dead Aug. 7. Comiskey was arrested the next day at the Family Medical Center when he sought medical treatment for cuts on his hands, the Chieftain reported. Records in the case have been sealed and officials have been ordered not to talk about the case. The Chieftain said the nature of the problem that brought Comiskey to the hospital emergency room before the slayings was not known. Bill Bush, St. Mary-Corwin Hospital's outgoing administrator, would not discuss Comiskey's appearance in the emergency room.

Schell Pueblo Chieftain March 4, 1918 The many friends in this city will be grieved to learn of the death of Charles H. Schell who died at the home of his nephew, Dr. Edward Schell at Cincinnati, Ohio, Monday of paralysis of which malady he had been a sufferer for some time previously to leaving this city a year and a half ago. He was for some time, years ago, city passenger and ticket agent for the Rock Island lines in this city, and later was in the ticket brokerage business, and also connected with the Union Depot Baggage and Transfer Company. Mr. Schell left here for a lower altitude thinking the change might be beneficial, but gradually grew worse until the end came. Schenk, Paul Paul Schenk - Pueblo Chieftain - July 13, 2011 - Paul Schenk. On July 7, 2011, Paul Schenk took his last road trip. This time the destination was heaven. On this day, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend went to the "Great Spirit" in the sky. Paul was a kind and gentle man who spent his life living for his family, studying the lives of the Native American people, the ways of the "Mountain Man," and was an avid model railroader. He was a graduate of CU-Boulder and proudly served in the United States Navy. Paul also was a lifetime member of the Boy Scouts of America, even retiring as a senior district executive in 2003. Paul stood as the rock of his family. He always was full of wise words and was a hero to many. Paul's life was that of happiness and living. From his days treasure hunting in the backlands of Mexico to his life carrying a muzzleloader in a mountain man camp, Paul lived life and taught those around him to do the same. He was preceded in death by his father, Paul; his mother, Viola; and his brother, Pat. He is survived by his beloved wife, Jeanie, who was his soulmate and best friend; his proud sons, Tony, Donnie, Michael, Thad, Troy and Robert; his beloved daughters, Rebekah, Molly, Dorothy; his baby girl and pride and joy, Haley; his adopted daughters, Anita and Crystal; and his dear daughter- in-law, Rhiannon. He also will be missed by his 12 grandchildren, who were the lights of his life; and last but certainly not least, Paul's four dogs, that relied on his comfort every morning. Paul was a great man who will be missed forever, but his love and spirit will live on until eternity. Memorial service, 10 a.m. today, Adrian Comer Garden Chapel.

Pueblo's sailors who have just enlisted are: Pueblo recruits for the marines: Merle D. Schlageter. Pueblo Chieftain June 19, 1918 Pueblo Boy is Killed in Fighting Line in France Yesterday's war casualty list contained the name of Merle D. Schlageter of Grimaldi, Pueblo County, Colo., as among the dead. The death of Merle Schlageter is the first to occur among Pueblo County boys in the war. The report says he was "Killed in Action" with the United States Marines. The deceased Pueblo County boy is the son of Mrs. Ida Schlageter, residing on a ranch at Grimaldi. Two weeks after the outbreak of the world war young Schlageter enlisted in the United States Marines. It is said that at the time he enlisted he chose to enlist with the Marines in order that he might be "first in the fight." He was sent to Mare Island, San Francisco, where he was in training several months and later was transferred to an Atlantic Coast training station from where he went to France. He had been in France but a short while and evidently was stationed with the Marines who so valiantly fought at the Chβteau Thierry during the last German offensive. He was well-known in Pueblo County, where he resided with his parents on the ranch near Grimaldi. He has written many letters to his parents and to friends and always expressed a desire to get into the battle against Germany. Although no one has known just where he was located in France, it is believed that he was in the Chβteau Thierry sector as there were many Marines there prior to the fierce fighting of last week. Schlageter has another brother also in the service of the country, having been called to Camp Funston in the draft. Pueblo Chieftain July 11, 1918 Mrs. Ida Schlageter of Grimaldi, the mother of Merle D. Schlageter, formerly of Grimaldi, who was the first Pueblo County boy killed in action in France, is quite ill. She was sick for some time before she received word of her son's death and the shock made her worse.

Shot to Death - It was at noon last Monday when two shots were heard in the loan shop at 305 North Union avenue and a young Negro came out with a smoking revolver in his hand. Passing a dozen pedestrians he ran across the street and made his way to the railroad yards where he either hid or else caught a ride out of town. Soon a number of detectives and police gathered at the pawn shop and Chief Grady ordered a general search of Pueblo to be made.

He uttered a few despairing yells, which with the shots, attracted the attention of many in the vicinity. The victim attempted to follow the thug but fell in the doorway and at once lapsed into unconsciousness and soon passed away.

Sclabra, Vito Vito Sclabra Pueblo Chieftain April 1, 1917 Asks Injunction to Secure Corpse Undertaker Holds Coroner Taylor Claims Firm Is Interfering with Official Ray R.

Scorafa, Joseph Joseph Scorafa - Rocky Mountain News - June 3, 1894 - The Death List - Four More Bodies Found in the Pueblo Flooded District - Pueblo, Colo., June 2 - Four bodies are now in the hands of the coroner, having been found since Wednesday's flood. The dead thus far discovered are: Barney Rafferty, 60 years old, laborer, single; Joseph Scorafa, 20 years old, single, laborer; John Coama, 35 years old, single, a stranger, occupation unknown; Mrs. Caroline Izar, 60 years old. Coama's body was found at 9 o'clock this morning, standing bolt upright in a house in the flat back of Lannon's foundry on Santa Fe avenue, near the river. He had been in the city but a few days, and as he was fully dressed it is supposed that he took refuge in the house and escape was cut off by ten feet of water. Mrs. Izar's body was discovered at 3:30 this afternoon in her house at 114 North Mechanic Street, in the flat east of the city hall, where the water was eight feet deep. She had apparently gone to bed, for she was clad only in her night dress. When she awoke escape was impossible. She and her husband, John Izar, a shoemaker, have been living apart and she was alone in the house, which was not known to be occupied and was not approached by any of the numerous rescuing parties. As time goes on grave fears are entertained that the list of fatalities will be increased, and diligent search is being made in the locality where the bodies were found today, that being believed the most likely district of the occurrence of drowning. Something of a sensation was created today when the post mortem was made on the body of Rafferty, the first found, who was supposed to have met death in the swollen waters of the Bessemer ditch. The back of his head was broken and as he had just received a sum of money foul play was thought possible. His lungs contained no water, so that the suspicions are confirmed. His money and valuables, however, he had left at his boarding place and they were recovered. Scott, Aaron Aaron Scott - Trinidad-Times Independent - September 30, 2011 - Aaron W.

The crash happened at 5:59 p.m. about six miles south of Walsenburg. The interstate was closed for about 30 minutes so the medical helicopter could land.

Several of the party, it seems, had been exposed to the infection of small-pox before they left the Plume, and after they had been out some days Mr. Pitcher was taken down with it, abandoned the trip, returned to the Plume, and is now convalescent. The other boys went on to a point about four miles beyond Pueblo, where they had to go into camp, with Scott quite bad; several days afterwards he died; and Bishop and Green buried him.

What a glorious reunion that must have been. Paul is survived by the love of his life, wife, April Scott. They cherished and loved each other from the moment they met. Two hearts, one love; that was their destiny. So, go my love and prepare a place for us ...wherever you are, my love will find you. He also leaves behind his daughter, Brenda Pullen; son, Brad Scott; and five grandchildren. Paul was the middle child of 10; brothers, Bobbie, Billie, Donald, Teddy, James, John, Daniel, and Michael; sister, Rachel; and too many friends and adopted family members to mention. Paul was a proud, devout, beautiful spirit, who loved the Lord with all his heart, and in so doing, taught many others, by example. The Lord shone through Paul's beautiful blue eyes. He always was a hard worker and could do anything with his hands. An excellent carpenter and craftsman; if he saw it, he could build it. Paul also loved to cook, especially for a crowd the more, the merrier. He was well-known in the area for his barbecue sauce, salsa, and smoked goodies. Paul's wit, love of life and gentle good nature will be missed by all. Heaven is a much better place with him there.

Scott, born June 29, 1951, died June 5, 2012. Samme made her journey to be with her beloved Lord Jesus. Preceded in death by her parents, Josephine and Benjamin Fernandez. Her memories will survive through her loving husband of 43 years, Amos "Terry" Scott; her daughters, Rachel (Phil) Tripplehorn, Shannon (Scott) Adams and Tracie (Mike) Gomez; her festive daughter, Jennifer "Ninji" Young; Goddaughter, Marlena Landson; grandchildren, Sarah, Elissah, Caitlyn and Victoria, and her only grandson, Samuel; special aunt, Mary (Claude) Sanchez; sisters, MaryAnn (Ross) Vigil and Susie Gutierrez; and numerous nephews and nieces. Samme loved her family and extended family tremendously. Her grandchildren glowed in her heart with pride and they returned the same love with a simple word "Bamms" started by her eldest grandchild, Sarah. She had a love for intricate needle and bead work. Her Christmas tree would show her talent with the ornaments she would make. Samme also had such a creative spark for piecing together creative and beautiful costumes for her grandchildren and outfits for her girls when they were young. Samme also found such peace in her fishing trips to one of her favorite mountain town, Pitkin. She, as well, devoted a length of time to help others with their own religious faith through the form of Bible study and RCIA at Holy Family. Throughout her life, good times and bad, her faith never lessened. She saw the good in people who could not see it themselves. To honor our Samme's wishes, a memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Monday, June 11, 2012, in the Montgomery Steward Funeral Chapel. Flowers of celebration may be sent directly to the chapel.

Seavy, Jack Jack Seavy - Pueblo Chieftain - October 25, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1984 - 1985 - Pueblo Economy Begins Recovery - They Made a Difference - Jack Seavy - Jack Seavy was viewed as a candid, gruff, to-the-point judge who said the law was not to tinker with, and if politics were the ticket of selecting a jurist, he never would have made it. Seavy first desired to become an engineer, and attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for two years. He then decided to follow his father's footsteps and become a Pueblo lawyer. His father was Vasco Seavy, a man who usually has the word "legendary" placed before his name in news stories. Jack Seavy fought in Europe as a paratrooper in World War II, and five years later, in 1950, graduated from the University of Colorado law school before joining his father's firm. The younger Seavy was first appointed to the bench in 1962, but was voted out months later. In 1969, with the law changed to its current non-political "yes" or "no" vote for sitting judges, Seavy was again named to the bench. He was not the type of man to schmooze or kiss babies in return for votes. Seavy had more than his share of controversial cases, but he concentrated on the complexity of the issues and left the discussion to others. Seavy heard the notorious O.D. Woolsey murder trial in the 1970s, and the double-murder conviction of William Houchin in 1986. But it was the May 1988 case of Donna Yaklich that garnered Seavy the most attention. She was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder for hiring two men to shoot her police officer husband, Dennis, and Seavy shocked most observers when he meted out a 40-year term for Yaklich. Seavy died May 31, 1989, after battling cancer for a year. Almost 400 people attended his services, and judges and lawyers alike praised Seavy for his keen grasp of the law, his fairness and his ability to treat defendants as individuals who were not guilty until proven so.

Sefton, Henry Thomas Henry Thomas Sefton - LaVeta Advertiser - August 28, 1914 - Another Pioneer Dies - There are a number of Alamosa people who remember H. T. Sefton, who in the early days, conducted a general store at old Placer, where one could buy anything from a drink of boose (sic) to red calico; and old Baldy, as he was known, was one of those big hearted men whose heart was as big as charity demanded. Sefton, in later years, moved over on the Huerfano Creek, 20 miles north of La Veta, and conducted a small store at St. Mary's crossing until he became too old to look after his business. He was a thorough western character, rough and uncouth, but he retained a certain amount of refinement that really placed him in the category of an average bright man. But H. T. Sefton passed away last week, over in Huerfano at the advanced age of 80 years. Before the old man died he requested that his remains be buried in an old and almost forgotten cemetery on the Huerfano creek, near the Baxter ranch in which vicinity in the early days he had lived. He leaves four sons and one daughter and one step-son. [Editor's Note: Extracted from the Sefton Cemetery Page: Henry Sefton was the engineer that laid out many of the roads in upper Huerfano County, and built the toll road over Mosca Pass. When he felt it was his time to die, he wanted to be cremated on the top of the hill. He hauled dry timber to the spot to build his funeral pyre and instructed his fellow men to cremate his remains there. Henry Thomas Sefton was born in 1833 at Harrison, Hamilton County, Ohio. On 10-6-1878 in Huerfano County he married Mary Nelson, who was born in Georgia. Their first child, Sarah Catherine was born at Del Norte, Colorado; 2nd was Ora Mae, at Placer, Colorado; 3rd was William Cleveland born at Pueblo, Colorado; 4th was Henry Thomas Sefton Jr. also born in Pueblo; and last Stella Ethel Sefton born at St. Mary's, Colorado.] http://www.kmitch.com/Huerfano/seftoncem.html Sega, Teresa M.

Sena, Serina Serina Sena - 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.

Sharp, Donald Eaman Donald Eaman Sharp - Huerfano Journal - February 28, 2013 - Donald Eaman Sharp, June 11, 1951 - February 2, 2013 - His life began 61 years ago in Dallas, Texas. His Canadian mother, Mary Elizabeth Shaver Eaman (Molly) and New Yorker father, Howard Macdonald Sharp, moved to Texas in search of a job. Day two in Dallas landed his father a job at Tempco. Day three landed his mother with their first born son. They lived in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for the next 9 years, joined by two brothers and a sister. In 1960 the family moved to Littleton, Colorado where Don attended school graduating from Arapahoe High School in 1969, followed with two years at Arapahoe Community College where he studied Art and Biology. An Eagle Scout, who attained God and Country status and Order of the Arrow, Don always enjoyed being outside, hunting rattlesnakes as a teenager and when older searching for mushrooms or spelunking in caves around the country and Mexico. Don enjoyed scuba diving when he was younger, was an expert skier, and often owned horses, pigs, chickens or ducks. He was most passionate though, about flying the Cessna Cardinal he co-owned with his brother. Don's demeanor was generally that of a happy camper and a loyal, courteous and cheerful boy scout. Don spent most of his working life in the families metal stamping and spinning factory, where he was an accomplished metal spinner. In the last 10 years, Don's primary focus was on building his home outside of Walsenburg, where views of the Spanish Peaks, and horses in the pasture hinted at the peace he had always hoped for. Construction on the house lingers to this day due to the insidious servitude alcoholism demands. The shadows of his dream were outlined by the slowly evolving house against the crumbling tack rooms and paddock. The happy camper, having nearly died at least five times since the age of 14, has closed his eyes in peace since the battle is finally over. Don Sharp's lifelong battle with alcoholism, ended when he suffered a fatal heart attack while attempting to get his pickup truck out of the ditch after a recent snow storm. Rest in Peace brother. Don was preceded in death by his mother in 2010, and his father in 2011. He leaves behind his two beloved dogs, Stitch and Bolo, who stood by his side from the moment of death until three or four days later when his body was discovered by a farmer on his way to feed the cows. His brother Ken lives in Pueblo, sister Janet Pritchett lives in Denver and Ridgway, and youngest brother Walter lives in Littleton. Sharp, Harold J. Harold J.

Shaw, Charles Charles Shaw Pueblo Chieftain November 23, 1917 Charles Shaw, age 41 years, died at a local hospital yesterday afternoon. The remains are at Davis & Vories. Pueblo Chieftain November 24, 1917 Coroner's Jury Finds Insane Man Died of Natural Causes An investigation into the death of Charles Shaw, inmate of the state hospital for the insane, who died at the hospital Thursday was held yesterday afternoon by Coroner Ray Taylor, and a coroner's jury at the Davis-Vories Mortuary. Shaw was committed to the asylum Monday from Cripple Creek. His death occurred suddenly and when his wife arrived Thursday afternoon she noticed bruises on his face and head and neck and demanded an investigation by the coroner. Coroner Taylor had a postmortem examination made by Dr. W. F. Rich. Dr. Rich testified at the inquest yesterday afternoon that he found a large number of bruises on the body of Shaw, all of which were of a superficial character and did not cause death and in his opinion were not contributing causes to the death of Shaw. Dr. Rich said that he found the man's stomach, bowels, and kidneys to be diseased and that his brain showed evidence of disease. He declared that death was due to weak heart action brought about by the general run down mental and physical condition of the man. Ward attendants and ward nurses at the asylum testified that Shaw had been admitted to the asylum and that he was assigned to the violent ward after the first day. They said he was affected by insane ideas of a grandiose character. The man was permitted to mingle with the other inmates in the recreation hall for a few minutes Wednesday morning, and while there became involved in a fight. He was thrown down and pummeled by one of the other inmates, but they were separated and Shaw was returned to his room. Wednesday evening he was permitted to leave his room again and meeting another inmate in the toilet he became involved in a second fight. During this fight Shaw was struck with a porcelain vessel before the ward attendants could separate them. Thursday morning Shaw was quite ill and hardly able to stand on his feet and he was in the care of a physician up to the minute of his death which occurred about noon Thursday. The coroner's jury found that Shaw's death was due to natural causes. The jury was in conference only a few minutes when the verdict was reached. The body of Shaw will be returned to his former home in Sydney, Ohio, and will be accompanied by his wife and two children. Before the illness which resulted in his being sent to the asylum here he was employed in Cripple Creek as a barber. He was 45 years old. Pueblo Chieftain November 25, 1917 The remains of Charles Shaw were forwarded by Davis & Vories to Sydney, Ohio, yesterday evening at 7: 05 o'clock.

Shaw, David David Shaw - Rocky Mountain News - October 9, 1887 - David Shaw's Monument - Pueblo, Oct. 8 - On the second of September there occurred on the Denver and Rio Grande railway an accident to a heavily loaded passenger train by its plunging into a land-slide, which must have been a fearsome disaster but for the bravery of the engineer, David Shaw of Pueblo. This noble ____, instead of saving his own life by _____ (jumping?), he could easily have done, deliberately sacrificed it in saving the train and passengers from destruction. The Daily Chieftain has started a fund for the erection of a monument to brave Dave Shaw. This fund has gradually been growing until now it has reached very creditable proportions. Among the contributions is one of $100 from the Denver and Rio Grande Company, $10 from President Moffatt, $10 from General Manager Smith, $5 from Passenger Agent Hooper, and similar amounts from various other people, making a fund which now exceeds $200. It is hoped that it will reach $500 or $1,000, and the money will then be turned over to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for the purchase of the monument.

Sheehan, Amy Amy (Overstake) Sheehan - Pueblo Chieftain - October 30, 2013 - Amy (Overstake) Sheehan, 55, passed away unexpectedly at home on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013. Amy was a vibrant personality and a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She will be profoundly missed. Amy was born on Jan. 28, 1958, in Pueblo, Colo., to Robert and Mary (Stalick) Overstake. Her parents raised her to have a passion for life, to recognize the importance of education and, most importantly, to value a close-knit family, which included her sister, Lynn; her special Grammy; and many relatives and friends. Amy attended Pueblo South High School, where she was an outstanding student and a leader in many activities. She graduated from the University of Southern Colorado and worked for several years as a medical technologist and supervisor at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center in Pueblo. After receiving a master's degree in business administration, Amy embarked on a second career as a health care administrator, first at St. Mary-Corwin and later at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa. At Geisinger, Amy was vice president of operations and was instrumental in the development of their first Women's Health Center. Amy married John C. Sheehan on Sept. 15, 1989, at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Catholic Church in Sun Prairie, Wis. Their life together took them from Pueblo, to Danville, Pa., to Appleton, Wis., to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and this summer to Madison, Wis. During the past 10 years in Cedar Rapids and wherever she went, Amy made many new friendships and touched the lives of many through her energy, generosity and kindness. Amy's proudest moments revolved around her children, AJ and Mary, who were the light of her life. She attended every hockey game, soccer match, horse show, concert and school function she could and, through example, instilled in them high standards and caring hearts. From the age of 6, Amy battled numerous health challenges, brought on by childhood diabetes, with grace and determination. In 1994, Amy received a gift of life from her mother through a kidney donation. She was two years out from her most recent battle with brain cancer and was enjoying some of the best health and happiest times in years. Amy lived life to the fullest, was always game for the next vacation, the next party, or the next shopping spree, and was looking forward to her new life in Madison.

The body of the deceased will be brought to this city, accompanied by the daughter, Miss Queen Shepherd, and a son, Robert Shepherd, whose home is in Pa. the sad news received here by earnest Shepherd was his first intimation that his mother was not in her usual good health; in fact it followed closely the receipt by him of 2 or 3 letters from his mother in which the lady made no mention of any illness or indisposition. It is not impossible, however, that the sudden illness which terminated in Mrs. Shepherd's death, may have been attributable in part to exertion put forth in Red Cross work in which she had been in intensely interested.

Mr. Shepherd died 29 years ago, and since that time, with the exception of four years when Mrs. Shepherd held the office of County Superintendent of Schools in this county, she had taught school in the public schools of the city. About 18 months ago when she resigned her position and went to live with her daughter, Miss Queen Shepherd, at Urbana, Ill. Mrs. Shepherd was the first woman to hold the office of Superintendent of Schools in this county, and one of the first women in Colo. to be elected a County Superintendent of Schools. So efficiently and wisely did Mrs. Shepherd discharge the duties of that office, and so well did she demonstrate the particular fitness of women for that office that it was not long till throughout the state of Colo. the office of Superintendent of schools which had up to that time been filled by the election of a man, was, by general consent of the political parties and the voters of the various counties, set aside as an office to be filled by a woman. Later it became custom in the state to name only women to fill the important office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Today nearly every County Superintendent of Schools in Colo. is a woman, and the standard of instruction has been elevated to a point where the schools of the state occupy an enviable position in the country. A woman today occupies a position of State Superintendent of Public Instruction, as has been the case for many years past. It is only justice done to the splendid work of this quiet, noble, home- loving and scholarly pioneer gentlewoman to say that her splendid work in our institutions of learning, and her able administration of the important public office which she honored, have left a permanent imprint for good on the pages of the school history of the state that was so long her home. Mrs. Shepherd enjoyed the acquaintance of a great host of warm friends, not only in the city, but in surrounding towns and cities. Mrs. Shepherd is survived by 5 children: Ernest T. Of Pueblo; Miss Queen Shepherd of Urbana, Ill., who is an instructor in psychology and the University of Illinois; Robert, residing in Pa., Mrs. E. R. Chew of this city, and Mrs. Horace Lewis of Salt Lake City, Utah. The announcement of the time and place of the funeral services, which will be under the direction of McCarthy's, will be made later.

Jay grew up on the family's cattle ranch outside of Simla and was a member of Saint Michael's Catholic Church of Calhan. He graduated from Big Sandy High School in 2001. While Jay was in school he participated in wrestling, industrial arts, auto mechanics and 4-H. Jay always was pushing himself to work harder and harder, a characteristic he kept with him throughout life. To his family and friends he loved playing practical jokes and most of all just socializing with people. Jay enjoyed the outdoors, whether it was working with his goats, target practice, hunting or fishing. There are not too many third-graders who can say they know exactly what it is in life that they are destined to do. However, when Jay was in third grade, he graduated from the D.A.R.E. program and told his mother then that he wanted to be a police officer. After Jay graduated high school, he worked as an auto mechanic at the same time also completing associate's degrees in automotive and diesel technology at NJC. This wouldn't last long as Jay's calling in life was to wear the uniform. In 2004, Jay realized his dream and graduated the Police Academy shortly after accepting a position with the Limon Police Department. It was there that he assisted, protected and unselfishly sacrificed his life for the community he loved. On July 5, 2008, Jay and Heather Pfeiff were married by Judge Lee Fisher. To this union one child was born, Isabel Marie. Jay was a wonderful father and devoted husband, always putting family first. Jay was preceded in death by his grandparents.

Pueblo Chieftain December 15, 1918 Women's Relief Corps Mrs. Shiller our past president has the deep sympathy of the "Corps " in the death of her soldier boy, "Jack," who died from wounds November 5 in France, also our treasurer, Grace Evans in the death of her husband, last month by "flu." Pueblo Chieftain January 1, 1919 In Memoriam Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in his inscrutable providence, to call to a higher realm our beloved brothers, Daniel Clement Fenton, John S. Shiller, and W. E. Beauvais, who laid down their lives on the battlefield of France, therefore it is Resolved, That every Knight of Columbus throughout the land feels a personal pride in the heroic sacrifice made by them so nobly and unselfishly, upon the altar of their country. They, in the bloom of youth, gallantly went forward to their death, that tyranny and oppression might not obtain a foothold in the land. They fought and died for principles most sacred to the human heart. Their homes and firesides have been made desolate that those of others might remain in peace and security. Such a sacrifice surely must merit the never ending gratitude of all future generations. The heroism of their death will be a consolation to their bereaved relatives, yet we fully realize the void that has come into their lives by the death of those so near and dear to them. We pray that our Divine Savior who said, "Greater love than this, no man hath, than to lay down his life for his friend," will reward them according to the sacrifice they have made. Resolved, that an annual solemn Requiem high mass be sung for them, the first of which will be Thursday, January 2, at 9 o'clock at St. Patrick's Church; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the bereaved relatives, one spread upon the minutes of the Council, and one sent to the local press.

Don was raised on the family farm northwest of Cameron, Mo., attending grade school and graduating from Cameron High School on May 12, 1936. He drove teams of horses from the time he was a small boy through his high school years. His responsibilities were numerous and varied. Through these experiences he developed a sense of commitment to hard work that would remain with him until the day he passed from this life. This sense of commitment to an ideal led him to enlist in the U.S. Army on April 12, 1941. During his service in the 591st Army Air Force, Don spent more than two years in foreign countries. His main duty as crew chief was to maintain the aircraft that flew supplies over the hump in India to supply troops engaged in battle further inland. A gifted mechanic, not only did he service the planes while on the ground, he was an in-flight mechanic, adjusting the engines while in flight to obtain the absolute maximum performance from each engine. He would not talk a great deal about his experiences while in the service, and did not share the fact that he was the recipient of several medals, including the Distinguished Flying Cross for service above and beyond. Only in later years would he acknowledge that he had received this honor for flying many hours more than required. Tech Sergeant Don H.

Sidow, Mary Louise Mary Louise Sidow Pueblo Chieftain June 4, 1917 Slips Away from Dance Kills Self Slipping away from the jolly chatter of a particularly merry dance given on the south side, Mrs. Mary L. Sidow rode 20 miles through the darkness of the late hours to her lonely ranch home, near Huerfano Lake, and there ended her life by swallowing a quantity of strychnine poisoning. No motive has been assigned for the rash act of the woman, who was 40 years old and comparatively well known on the south side. Mrs. Sidow was the wife of a steelworker, who remained in the city while she lived on their farm which the couple were equipping with modern machinery and stocking up with money he earned at the Minnequa plant. Their land had been homesteaded and they some time ago proved up on their claim and were in possession of the deed. Saturday Mrs. Sidow came to Pueblo and did some shopping. In the evening, with her husband, she attended a dancing party in Bessemer. There she met a number of old friends and it was considered that she was having a good time. The party ended, Mrs. Sidow started her team of horses in the direction of her home and made the long journey alone in the darkness. Yesterday morning A. M. Schroeder, a neighbor, went to the home of Mrs. Sidow at 7 o'clock and hearing groans, he entered the house. He found the woman in bed and evidently in convulsions. Schroeder hurried to the home of A. M. Bartlett and the two men returned quickly with what was considered to be an antidote for poison, but when they reached the woman the body was lifeless on the bed, with evidence that she had died in agony. Mrs. Sidow's husband was notified of the tragedy Sunday morning and went to the ranch home. He said his wife was inclined to be somewhat despondent, but he did not consider that she ever had contemplated self-destruction. Corner Ray Taylor investigated the death and decided that the woman had ended her life by swallowing strychnine poison, administered by her own hand. There will be no inquest. The body is at the Davis-Vories parlors. Funeral arrangements have not been made. Pueblo Chieftain - June 7, 1917 - The funeral of Mrs. Mary Louise Sidow was held yesterday morning at 11 o'clock from the Davis-Vories Chapel. The Rev. T. F. Weiskotten conducted the services.

She was an accomplished pianist and played her baby grand piano while lulling her children to sleep. Those who knew her witnessed someone serenely non-judgmental and wise. She may have been an angel. We, the nine grateful children and 10 adored grandchildren, wish to publicly thank our parents for raising us with such tender love and respect. We are fortunate to have been the beneficiaries of mother's extraordinary grace, courage and commitment. Her unconditional love will nourish our hearts forever. It was her gift to all. A life celebration of Jacque will be held Saturday, April 14. Tributes begin at 1 p.m. with reception to follow. Please note this is a compulsory event for Slovenian relatives.

Pauline, as she was known to her family and friends, was born Nov. 12, 1917, in Lamar, Colo., to Lewis M. and Martha P. (Scott) Scheurer. The family soon moved to Pueblo, Colo., where Pauline attended first grade at the old Fountain School, graduating from Centennial High School the night the Fountain River flooded. She met and married the love of her life, Cecil E. Simms at the First Church of the Nazarene, where she had given her heart to Jesus as a teenager. When WWII broke out and Cecil went with the Marines to the South Pacific, Pauline returned from California to Pueblo for the duration of the war. Upon Cecil's safe return, the couple moved with their two small children to Denver, where she worked at several jobs, retiring from Fort Logan Mental Health Center's research department. After her husband's death and fire destroyed their retirement home in Spirit Lake, Idaho, Pauline moved to Casper to be near her daughter and family, where she had lived since 1989. In Casper, she soon became part of the community, volunteering to rock babies for several daycare facilities; helping in the Westwood school library; participating in Christian Women's Club and After 5 Outreach; and helping to deliver Meals on Wheels for several years with her daughter. She enjoyed participating in a weekly Bible study group, where her knowledge of Scripture was inspiring. She loved traveling, camping, fishing and hunting with her family in the West. She also was an avid sports fan of the Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies and Colorado Avalanche. Pauline was preceded in death by her parents; one older brother, James M.

Simola, 69, affectionately known to everyone as "Bronco Bill," went on to his well deserved heavenly reward Aug. 14 in the Denver area. After a gallant fight, Bronco Bill finally succumbed to injuries sustained after he was struck by an automobile. Bronco Bill will be forever remembered as a unique person, gentle soul, a man of strong faith, tireless worker and dependable friend. Bronco Bill was born in 1938 to Efficio and Rose Simola. After attending Holy Trinity schools, Bill began his working career at the Chronicle-News. He later became a custodian at the Department of Social Services and then the Las Animas County Jail, under good friend Sheriff Lou Girodo. Bill finished out his career as a custodian at School District No. 1, where co-worker Bill Nuschy became Bill's special buddy. At each of his employment stops, Bill became a good friend to each and every co-worker and associate. And he wasn't satisfied until his job duties were done to perfection. A devout Catholic, Bill's faith drove him to attend Holy Mass every day, for years at 6:30 a.m., and take part in the community Rosary, Nocturnal Adoration and various prayer groups. He donated countless hours to and raised tens of thousands of dollars for Trinidad Catholic Schools, Holy Trinity Parish, Holy Trinity Clothing Center, the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic and charitable ventures. No one can ever recall Bill saying "no" when it came time to raise money or do good for others. Bill also was a member of the local Elks lodge and regularly took part in meetings and charitable events for that group. In both the Knights and Elks, Michael DiPaolo was Bill's close associate and partner. Although Bill was a worker who never seemed to stop, he also knew how to have fun. His varied interests included antique cars, sports, roller skating, his cherished Jeep Cherokee, horse racing, concerts, biking, dining out, dancing, record and autograph collecting, and, of course, buying everything and anything related to his beloved John Elway and the Denver Broncos in general. His collection was amazing, and his apartment above Skateland resembled a gridiron museum. Bill's trademark, so to speak, were the annual football betting "pools" that he faithfully ran each and every football season for decades. He could often be seen scurrying around town with that big, white pool board, hustling customers and getting the board filled in anticipation of another great season. It's safe to say that football season in Trinidad won't ever be the same without Bill and his pools. In his retirement, Bill never slowed down. Whether it was dog watching for his friend Lynn Smith, attending prayer and pro life meetings, traveling to concerts with Eli and Zak DeBono, working on his Jeep, or doing good for others, Bill made the most of every waking moment. He was a person who truly embraced and enjoyed life and he held his family and friends close to his heart. Everywhere he went, Bill made friends easily and quickly, whether it was a professional athlete at a fund-raiser or a homeless man in Denver. A person of Bill's caliber and character won't ever be replaced. Thankfully, we all have many memories of Bill which can serve us until we join our beloved friend. We should all try to live life the way Bill did: simply and with vigor, faith and excitement. Arrangements pending at Comi Funeral Home.

Pueblo Chieftain September 29, 1918 Carl Simonson Dies of Wounds in France According to a telegram received yesterday by John Simonson of Goodpasture, his son, Carl A. Simonson is dead as a result of wounds received in action, September 7, 1918. Young Simonson was sent to Camp Funston on October 7, 1917 and from there he went to Camp Kearny, where he stayed until he was sent abroad. He was with the 138th Infantry and Company "A." His father is a pioneer of this county and he too is well known both in the county and in Pueblo. He is survived by his parents and three brothers and three sisters. Pueblo Chieftain October 8, 1918 Eight Coloradoans on Casualty List: 2 Killed in Action, 5 Wounded Colorado Boys - Killed in Action: Orlo McRae, La Veta, Colorado; Died of Wounds: Carl A. Simonson, Goodpasture, Colorado. Pueblo Chieftain November 3, 1918 Thought Comrade Alive and Wrote Dead Boy's Folks An example of the comradeship which exists between the soldiers at the front is touchingly shown in the following incident. Cpl. Frank Coleman and Carl Albert Simonson of Goodpasture, Pueblo County, upon entering the fight, agreed that if anything should happen to one of them, that the other would take the best possible care of him and write at once to his parents and keep them posted. Carl was wounded in the left side by a shell and Frank helped to get him to a supply station and had his wound attended to. Thinking that he would be sent to a base hospital and be all right, Frank went back to the trenches. This was on September 6 and on the 7th Carl died. Frank, laboring hard in the trenches, knew nothing of this and wrote the following letter to John Simonson, father of Carl, on September 15: "Will write you a few lines as you will not hear from Albert Carl, for some time. He got a bullet wound in his left side during the battle, we had on 6 September. I was glad that I was near as I helped to take care of him. The first aid man told me that it was not serious, but it will take some time and care for him. Don't be uneasy about him as I will keep posted from his Company Commander as to how he gets along and write you. "We are now back of the lines for a rest and some training. I cannot say anything about the changes we make or what we do. I am still feeling pretty good. "We get along real well with the French people. They are hard to understand, but have a good spirit. "I just mailed the folks a letter, telling them about Albert but I thought that I would write you people too, as he asked me to. He will be all right soon, so don't worry about him." This letter was only received a few days ago, almost a month after the news of the death of his son, Carl, was announced to Mr. Simonson, by the government. 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. Simonson, Judith Judith Todero Simonson - Pueblo Chieftain - November 14, 2012 - Judith Todero Simonson was born April 22, 1942, and passed peacefully from this life on Nov. 7, 2012, while in the loving presence of her very dear and close friend, Darlene, and her little sister, Toni. Judy was born in Pueblo and relocated to California, where she trained as a nutritionist. She devoted her life to educating and helping others through the use of vitamin and nutrition therapy. Judy was an avid tennis player and golfer. She had many talents but she will be remembered for her sharp wit and keen sense of humor, which she had until the end. Judy was preceded in death by father, Joseph Todero; grandmother, Emma Woolen; sister, Henrietta Galasso Thomas. She is survived by her loving husband, Eric Simonson; daughter, Elisa Shelly (Thomas) Tarrant; grandchildren, Justin (Latoya), Jordan (Jessica), Candess, Cody, Cierra, Summer; and great-grandson, Justin Jr. Also survived by her mother, Verlee Galasso; sisters, Patricia (Michael) McClafferty, Toni (Frank) Porreco, Joyce Todero and Jodee Hankins; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, grandnieces and grandnephews; special loving friends and caregivers, Anthony and Darlene Bonfiglio; and numerous compassionate friends, whom she met during her long and courageous battle with cancer, including Don and Helen Banner, Linda Bloom, Deb Quintana and Tamara Stevenson-Wofford. Judy was very appreciative of the wonderful care she received from the Frontier Hospice team, especially nurse Darlene Stoneking, Liz Miera, Nancy Hennegan and Rhonda Effinger. She also was grateful for the care provided to her husband, Eric, from Life Care Center staff. Cremation has taken place. A private memorial service will be held for family and friends. Those who wish, may make contributions to the American Cancer Society, the Alzheimer's Association or Frontier Hospice in Judy's name. The angels came to guide you home, releasing you from pain. You knew that it was time to go, you heard God call your name. Your will was strong, you fought so hard, hoping for the best. The battle's done, you're home again and now it's time to rest.

Simpson, Joseph Merced Joseph Merced Simpson - Rocky Mountain News - December 2, 1890 - Cruelly Murdered - Joseph Simpson Shot from Ambush in a Lonely Canon Near Trinidad - Trinidad, Colo., Dec. 1 - Word was brought to this city Sunday morning that Joseph Merced Simpson had met his death in a lonely canon about nine miles west of the city. Nothing definite in regard to the affair was learned till today, when the remains were brought to this city by Undertaker Turner, and now lie at his establishment, awaiting the action of the coroner's jury. Friday afternoon Simpson left this city to proceed to his home west of Long's Canon. This was the last seen of him alive. He had evidently driven into the canon, where his body was discovered, preparatory to crossing Long's Canon. A shot was fired into him either by someone with him in the wagon or concealed among the trees beside the road. The body seems to have fallen from the vehicle as the horses sprang forward, startled by the shot, and the murderer or murderers fired three more shots into the body after it fell. The remains were not discovered until Sunday morning. The horses were first discovered hitched to a wagon, the latter having brought them to a standstill by a collision with a stump. A short distance away the cruelly riddled body lay beside the trail. Two bullets had entered his head, one exactly in the center of the forehead. Three others had been fired into his body. The coroner's jury is now at work investigating his death, and it is very probably that there will be developments in the next few days that will lead to the apprehension of his murderers. Simpson leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death. He was a son of George Simpson, the hero of the incident which helped to give the bluff north of the city its name - Simpson's rest - and a brother of Mrs. N. T. Cavalier, a well known and estimable lady of this city. Mrs. George Simpson, the mother of the deceased, is still alive, and resides with one of her daughters in this city. Rocky Mountain News - December 11, 1890 - Served With Warrants - Trinidad, Colo., Dec. 10 - The coroner's jury in the Simpson case have made their report and as a consequence two of the Orragons have been served with warrants and they will appear before Justice Cook to-morrow morning for a preliminary trial. The feeling among the Mexicans is very strong in favor of the suspects and every effort will be made to clear them. It is stated that a bond for any amount can be secured for their release in case they are bound over to the district court. That a partial confession has been made there is no doubt, but it is said to be very incomplete, and has not implicated all who were concerned in the affair. The feeling against Simpson was very bitter among the Mexicans and the defense of the prisoners will be strongly backed. The law will not allow race prejudice to interfere in any manner, and the public only desire that justice be meted out. A correct idea of the guilt or innocence of the Orragons will be gained at the trial tomorrow morning.

She leaves behind children, Luann, Gary and Tom; brother, Dr. Mel (Helen) Anzick; and numerous friends and family. Helen's sparkling blue eyes were windows into a sweet, gentle and humble soul. She also possessed a strong character and a spine of steel forged by the unique challenges of her generation, the Greatest Generation. Helen was a proud Slovenian, Catholic, Puebloan and Democrat who pursued her interests with zest and gusto. She loved singing in the Preseren choir, playing piano, dancing to Polkas and listening to Mariachi music. She enjoyed her mountain cabin, was a fantastic cook and always kept a packed suitcase ready for a travel adventure. Cripple Creek was a favorite destination where she gleefully pursued elusive winning strategies to use on her special penny machines. Above all, she cherished her family. For several years, she was the primary caregiver for many elder members who were nourished and sustained due to her unselfish and loving dedication. Her children have indelible memories accumulated over many years and they will never forget her beautiful smile, comforting hugs and most of all the unconditional love that she gave them every day of their lives. Fiercely independent with an indomitable spirit, Helen was able to fully engage in life activities until weeks before her 90th birthday. In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no services. No food or flowers, please. The family only requests that those who knew her and loved her keep a fond memory close to their hearts. Arrangements, George McCarthy Funeral Home. Skul, Violet B. Violet B.

Thomas Lynch Smelek, Raymond A. Raymond A. Smelek - Pueblo Chieftain - September 12, 2012 - Raymond A. Smelek, 77, Boise, Idaho, formerly of Pueblo, Sept. 3. Summers Funeral Home, Boise. Idaho Statesman - September 5, 2012 - Raymond A. Smelek, 77, of Boise, died Monday, September 3, 2012 at a Boise hospital. Arrangements are by Summers Funeral Homes, Boise Chapel. The Spokesman Review - September 6, 2012 - Ray Smelek, the man who brought Hewlett-Packard to Boise in 1973 and launched a high-tech industry that transformed the capital city's economy, died Monday at age 77. There's no question that it's changed Boise, Smelek wrote in his 2009 memoir, Making My Own Luck. Highly educated people came here to work for HP and then went on to launch their own tech companies and they stayed in the Treasure Valley. The fact that HP was here drew other tech companies and suppliers who wanted to be nearby. It's given a lot of credibility to Boise as a technology center. Smelek's career with HP started in 1957 as a college intern. He retired from the firm in 1994 and led several other Boise tech businesses, including Extended Systems and The Network Group. In remembrances today, Smelek is being recalled as transformational figure in Idaho's economy. Idaho Statesman - August 1, 2009 - Printer division made Treasure Valley a high-tech center - It wasn't what you might think that made Ray Smelek decide to bring Hewlett-Packard's printer division to Boise in 1973, launching a high-tech industry in Idaho's capital that transformed the city's economy. From a personal point of view it seemed like a nice move for our family, Smelek writes in his new memoir, Ray Smelek, Making My Own Luck. There was an attractive golf course. Ski passes were cheap. And the state's teen driving age of 14, at the time, was appealing to Smelek's kids, who were 7, 10, 12 and 14. Smelek had been mulling three possible cities: Boise, Spokane and Corvallis, Ore. The reality is that HP could have located its printer division in any one of the three cities, he writes. In fact, over time, HP ended up developing facilities in all three of those initial cities. But it was the LaserJet printer, developed in Boise, that became the high-tech company's biggest product ever. Introduced in 1984, 100 million of them sold by 2006. I didn't tell anyone at the time what the truth was about how we site selected Boise, Smelek writes in his book. It seemed such a dumb reason. But in reality, I believe that the decision-maker's affinity for a specific place plays a large part in any site selection when there is no specific business reason, i.e., natural resources, customer proximity, etc. Smelek's career with HP started in 1957, when he became a college intern. He retired from the firm in 1994 and led several other Boise tech businesses, including Extended Systems and The Network Group. His life and career, from a Colorado kid who worked at a gas station and was the first in his family to graduate from college, to a world-traveling high-tech executive, are detailed in his memoir, published by Caxton Printers in Caldwell, Idaho. The company's arrival in Boise had an impact, Smelek said. There's no question that it's changed Boise. Highly educated people came here to work for HP and then went on to launch their own tech companies and they stayed in the Treasure Valley. The fact that HP was here drew other tech companies and suppliers who wanted to be nearby. It's given a lot of credibility to Boise as a technology center. During the current downturn, Boise's tech giants have downsized, including HP. But technology remains a significant factor in the city's economy. In the Boise metro area, 10.4 percent of the jobs were in high-tech in 2007, according to the Idaho Department of Labor. The state Department of Commerce reports that technology is Idaho's largest industry, making up 25 percent of the state's gross domestic product, and the state ranks first in U.S. patents per capita.

Smith, Anna Anna Smith Pueblo Chieftain September 5, 1918 Trainmen Witnesses As Girl Is Murdered Anna Smith Killed by Tony Riazzo on Rio Grande Tracks near the Pueblo Smelter Assassin Pursued and Captured by Witnesses One of the most brutal murders committed in Pueblo in recent years occurred yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock on the Rio Grande Railroad tracks opposite the Pueblo Foundry on Santa Fe Ave. Anna Smith, the 18-year-old girl victim, whose head was almost severed from her body, is at the Davis-Vories undertaking establishment, and Tony Riazzo, an Italian, 22 years old who was arrested by the police soon after the crime was committed, confessed to killing Anna Smith in the presence of Chief of Police Daly and Jailer McDonald. According to statements obtained by the police, it is evident that several persons witnessed the crime. Among the witnesses is Engineer Knox of the D. & R. G. Special, whose train was passing the Pueblo Foundry at 5 o'clock. The police presumed that Knox saw the man and woman struggling on the tracks and that the man was trying to stab the woman; he could not stop his train right away so he blew the emergency whistle and drew the attention of the conductor who then saw the woman lying on the ground and the man running away. The conductor, whose name the police say is Emery, shouted to the Santa Fe crossing man, Edward Kerwin, who is also a Deputy Sheriff, who, as soon as he saw what had happened, pulled his gun from his pocket and fired five shots in the direction of the man, thinking he would stop, but Riazzo kept on running. By this time several men had an inkling to what had happened and they set off after Riazzo, who was doing his utmost to get away. Among those in pursuit were D. N. Wells, an instructor in Central High School, and G. C. Davis, a bookkeeper at the Pueblo Smelter, who after chasing Riazzo several blocks and through wire fences captured him on Santa Fe Ave. He was bleeding from severe cuts on his left hand, and apparently in a sulky mood. The police patrol with Officer McDonald was ready to take the man to the city jail where he was searched. In his possession was found a leather scabbard, two bullets of .33 caliber and some silver. In the meantime Chief Daly had arrived at the scene of the crime just a few minutes after it happened and had obtained the names of witnesses and other evidence. He saw the body of Anna Smith lying on the ground between the double tracks, with a large gash in the throat; the body was not touched until the coroner arrived; then it was removed by Davis & Vories. John Santy, who lives near the poor farm, and Dominick Bucciarilli, whose home is at Salt Creek, were the two men who found the knife, which Riazzo admits was used to kill the girl. Detective Baty of the Police Department after a search found the .33 Special Colt Revolver, that witnesses allege was thrown away by Riazzo when he ran away. The police said the two bullets found on Riazzo exactly correspond with those found in the chamber of the Colt Revolver. When confronted with the crime before Chief Daly and Officer McDonald in the former's office, Riazzo said he committed the murder "because she called me a _____ _____ _____." Chief Daly said, "Did you think that of sufficient cause to kill the girl?" Riazzo did not answer. Anna Smith, whose address was given the police as being 325 Ash St., was employed at the Pueblo laundry. She is survived by her parents and her brother. As soon as the grief stricken mother and brother heard of the unfortunate affair the two started down the tracks to the body and although the brother was allowed to see his dead sister the mother was in such a feeble and critical condition that she was taken back home by neighbors. Tony Riazzo is a laborer, and said his address is 1221 Bohemia Ave. The funeral arrangements will be conducted from the McCarthy undertaking establishment, and will be announced later. The names and positions of the train crew who were passing at the time, and who were responsible in a large measure for the apprehension of Riazzo are as follows: Engineer Knox, Fireman C. Johnson, Conductor Emery, Brakemen Harsh and Fry, all of Denver. These men will be named as witnesses by the police. According to evidence obtained by the police department last night, officers believe that the murder was committed by Riazzo because a girl repeatedly refused to listen to his proposals of marriage. A number of witnesses who were acquainted with the relations between the couple made statements to that effect. The parents of the girl say she was 18 years old while the police declare she was not over 15. Pueblo Chieftain September 6, 1918 The funeral of Anna Smith will be held at the McCarthy Undertaking Company Chapel Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and at Mt. Carmel Church at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in Roselawn Cemetery. Pueblo Chieftain September 7, 1918 Called the Wrong Train Crew for the Inquest A mistake in train crews caused the inquest over the body of Annie Smith, murdered last Wednesday evening, to be adjourned from last evening until Monday at 4 o'clock. Conductor Emery and Brakemen Harsh and Fry of the Rio Grande, were summoned to appear, but when the conductor was called to the stand, he stated that his train left Pueblo an hour before the time stated that the murder took place. It was in fact a Colorado and Southern train crew who first discovered the murder and assisted in the capture of the murderer. Just when the error came in seems not to be known; the coroner secured the list of railway men from the police station, and the police are said to have secured the names from railroad officials. It is supposed that a misunderstanding as to the time or the description the train was the cause of the error as to the names of the men wanted to testify. Dr. Rich who performed the autopsy was the first witness called; he read his report, which showed there had been found 11 wounds on the girl's body; the first described was in the throat severing the large artery, the second was near the first and similar in character, and a third was in the left side. Any one of these would alone have caused death, the physician stated. Besides nine other wounds there were various scratches and abrasions, and these and the wounds were all over the body. Chief of Police Daly told of the call coming to the police station and the rush of himself and jailer McDonald to the scene; also the taking of Tony Riazzo, who was captured when they arrived, to the station. He also told of the prisoner's confession of the crime, and how when the jailer had been called into the room, the prisoner repeated his admissions in Mr. McDonald's presence. Mr. McDonald reiterated the testimony. Ed Kirwin, watchmen at the lower smelter gate, close to the scene of the murder, told about the young girl passing by on the way up the tracks a few minutes before, of the C. & S. Train, following the same direction, coming to a sudden stop, of the flagman on the rear shouting "Catch that man." Kirwin told in detail how he chased after the fleeing figure, shooting first behind him, then in front of him in the hope of causing him to stop. He related all the courses of the chase and told how finally cornering the Italian between a building and a wire fence, he got hold of his pants leg, which giving away, the Italian fell over on the other side of the fence on some lumber and then continued to run. "I did not know what had happened," said Kirwin. "If I had known he had murdered that little girl, I would have killed him the first shot." Kirwin was well winded, but he continued the chase as best he could, and followed until the fugitive was caught by Dan Wells and G. C. Davis, who had taken up the chase in an automobile. This was between some buildings north of the foundry. Dominick Buccinalli and John DiSanty testified to the finding of the huge, blood-smeared dirk with which the girl was killed, at a point about 75 feet from where the girl's body was found and supposedly were Riazzo was when Kirwin fired the first shot. It was following the testimony of Kirwin the name of Conductor Emery was called, and he stated that he knew nothing about the murder as his train left the station about an hour before the murder was said to have taken place; the same statement was made by Brakemen Harsh and Fry, and it was then discovered that the wrong train crew had been summoned. At the results in of the hearing Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, it is expected that the C. & S. crew of train men who were the first to discover the crime, will be present. Pueblo Chieftain September 8, 1918 The funeral of Anna Smith took place yesterday afternoon at 1:30 from the residence, 423 East Ash St. and from Mt. Carmel Church at 2 o'clock. Rev.

Interment was made in Roselawn under the direction of the McCarthy Undertaking Company. Pueblo Chieftain September 10, 1918 Coroner's Jury Accuses Young Italian of Murder "Annie Smith came to her death from the effects of knife wounds inflicted with felonious intent by Tony Riazzo." This was the verdict of the coroner's jury which completed its investigation yesterday afternoon. The inquest which was begun last Friday was adjourned until yesterday in order to have the Colo. & Southern Railway train crew present; all other witnesses testify at the first session of the inquest. Engineer Joseph W. Alexander, whose home is at 3136 W. 23rd Ave., Denver, was the first to testify yesterday. He was pulling the passenger train which left the Union Depot at 4:55 on the evening of September 4, and it was just 4:59 when the train reached the point on the bridge side of the Arkansas River Bridge at Santa Fe Ave., where the crime was committed. "I was running 25 miles an hour when I noticed two persons apparently sitting between the Rio Grande tracks and the smelter fence; a second later I noticed that they seemed to be scuffling and that one was a man and the other a woman; then I heard the woman scream. I set the brakes, at the same time shouting to the firemen, and he quickly as possible blew the whistle to attract attention. I had an my eyes riveted on the couple, the man seemed to be bending over the woman, and as I thought, striking her with his right hand while holding her with his left. The train stopped in three coach lengths." "The man then ran, the woman got on her feet and staggered about 15 feet, and fell on her back. Blowing the whistle caused persons in the vicinity to look toward me, and I pointed to the girl, and a number of people rushed to her while others ran after the fleeing man." Ernest Alexander, firemen, and nephew of the engineer, said the girl went probably five or six steps, staggering; first it seems she would fall on her face, but turning suddenly she fell on her back. L. R. Griner, the conductor, who resides at 2140 W. 27th Avenue, Denver, stated that the first he saw of the girl (having his attention called to something unusual by the sudden stopping of the train and the alarm whistle), when she was rising to her feet. He thought she staggered perhaps as much as 20 feet before she fell between the Rio Grande tracks which run parallel and very close to the track on which his train was standing. J. H. Gormley, 3432 Quitman St., Denver, who was the rear brakeman of the train, saw the engineer pointing, and saw that the girl seemed to be breaking away from the man. He said he shouted for help and ran to the girl who was just gasping her last; others came at the same time, and he then saw men chasing the fugitive. None of the men believed they could identify the murderer for sure, as they had not had a good view of his face. Pueblo Chieftain September 11, 1918 Moved to County Jail Tony Riazzo the Italian who at the inquest yesterday was accused of murdering Anna Smith on the Rio Grande railroad tracks September 4, has been removed from the city jail and taken to the county jail, where he will be held until the day of his trial. Since his arrest by Officer McDonald, Riazzo has been acting in a queer fashion while in his cell. The police say that he is sound mentally and that he is only playing a game of insanity. Pueblo Chieftain October 17, 1918 Files Direct Information Beside filing direct information against Clifford and Mattie Sproule, charging them with murder, the District Attorney's Office yesterday filed murder information against Tony Riazzo, for the killing of Annie Smith on September 4. Indications are that the next term of the criminal division of the District Court will be one of the very heaviest in the line of capital cases ever tried in Pueblo County. Five, or perhaps six cases will be ready for hearing at that time; the next criminal division will be presided over by Judge Essex. Pueblo Chieftain June 1, 1919 Sanity of Murderer To Be Determined Tony Riazzo, the "wild man from Borneo" who killed his sweetheart near the Pueblo smelter gate last fall because she was not ready to marry him, will be given a preliminary examination relative to his mental condition at the regular board of lunacy examiners, Tuesday. This examination will take place in the county court room, and it is not expected to be a final test. The district attorney is desirous that the case be very thoroughly looked into, and a complete determination arrived at as to whether the man is really mentally unaccountable. Pueblo Chieftain June 4, 1919 Apply Wassermann Test to Riazzo "The Wassermann Test" is to be applied to Tony Riazzo, the said to be insane Italian who murdered his sweetheart near the Pueblo smelter last fall. In the county court room yesterday forenoon a preliminary examination of the man was made by the official lunacy board, and a later hearing was set for June 16. During the interim he will be kept at Woodcroft Sanitarium for careful observation by the experts there. All the time he was in the court room he kept up his quiverings and contortions. Several witnesses testified, among them Philip Blanda, who occupied the same cell with him for months; he stated that the body of Riazzo generally continued to quiver even when he was asleep. The Wassermann test is a blood proposition. Blood is extracted from the veins and examined microscopically and chemically to determine whether or not the patient is insane, and if so, what variety of insanity is afflicting him. This is the alienists claim to be able to do so. If the atoms in the germs harbored by the parasites on the microbes in the corpuscles of a drop of blood are unduly antagonistic toward each other, or, on the other hand, if they are found to be unusually intimate in their associations with each other, so to speak, then the patient is insane. Pueblo Chieftain May 3, 1919 Wild Man From Borneo; At Least He Looked the Part Were you horrified, when as a child you gazed for the first time on the portrait of the Wild Man of Borneo, as depicted in all his savage frightfulness on the canvas in front of the side show which was adjunct of the greatest show on earth? If so, you would have been doubly horrified if yesterday you had seen Tony Riazzio, the Italian who killed his sweetheart on the railway tracks near the Pueblo smelter last fall. With other prisoners a dozen or more he was brought to the court house to be present at the setting of criminal cases, but he was such a horrible spectacle that Sheriff Thomas had him taken back to his office and soon thereafter, back to the county jail. This man has been insane or successfully shamming insanity, since the day of the cold blooded murder he committed because the girl was not willing to marry him. The hair on his head had been allowed to grow until it is eight or ten inches long, and stands up all around like bristles; likewise his whiskers have grown to several inches (in) length, and is also unkempt and rough. His head looks as large as a beer keg and as bristly as a porcupine. Facial and bodily contortions are continuous, while the eyes roll like spinning billiard balls all the while. It requires two men to assist him to walk, and all the time several persons have to stand over him even when in a chair. At times he becomes mean in addition to his disgusting acts and looks; then he fights like a demon. However, jail officials and other prisoners state that when absolutely alone, or when he thinks he is, he calms down and lies motionless. At times, when but one person is near him, he talks somewhat intelligently. Action was started in the district court yesterday looking to a thoro examination by expert alienists into this case. Pueblo Chieftain May 11, 1919 To Examine His Sanity Tony Riazzio, the Italian who on September 9 of last year, killed his sweetheart, Annie Incerto, near the Pueblo smelter gate because she was not ready to marry him, is to be examined officially by the local lunacy board, as to his mental condition. An order to that effect was issued yesterday by Judge Trimble, acting on request formally made, by District Attorney Hughes. Pueblo Chieftain May 22, 1919 To Test Sanity Tony Riazzio, known at the county jail as the wild man from Borneo, is to be tried by the local lunacy commission to determine whether or not he is really insane or only shamming. This Italian is the cold-blooded murderer, alleged of an Italian girl named Annie Incerto. The killing occurred near the west gate of the Pueblo plant of the American Smelting and Refining company last fall. Almost from the time he was first arrested, the man has acted like a nerve-wrecked lunatic, tho it is said that a night when all persons are supposed to be out of sight, he becomes calm. The hearing as to his sanity, or the first hearing, as there are likely to be more, will take place June 3.

He married Dorothy E. Eason in Berryville, Arkansas May 6, 1950 and lived various places in the U.S. before settling in Walsh, CO for several years. Later they moved to southwest Kansas where Arlo managed HALACO feed-yard in Satanta, where they raised their 2 children. In 1972 they moved to Tribune, Kansas where he was a part-owner and manager of Oxtown Cattle Feeders, Inc. Arlo and Dorothy spent many years together working as a team. He was a highly respected and admired cattleman, and he fed cattle for people all over the U.S. Their son, Arlo Ray also worked tirelessly along side them, doing anything dad needed done, from being his number 1 feeder to operating all the heavy equipment. Arloa was Pop's cowboy, spending countless hours riding together on horseback. Arlo and Dorothy's grandchildren have many happy memories of helping their Pop while he worked. Arlo and Dorothy retired to Canon City in 1989 to be near their children and grandchildren. In his retirement, Arlo enjoyed fishing with his son, Arlo Ray, playing cards with friends, hosting fiddle parties, and all sorts of gardening. Arlo was one of the local growers who contributed grapes each year to the Abby Winery's Wild Canyon Harvest wine (he is also credited with actually naming the wine). Arlo never knew a stranger and spent the better part of his life helping other people. He served on the ditch board and often spent his time handing out commodities through the senior centers in both Canon City and Florence. He was fair and honest with everyone he met, and cultivated a legacy of hard work and humor in his family. Pop's naturally ornery side kept everyone smiling, even when times were not necessarily fun. Arlo's subtle humor and witty quips, always delivered with a straight face, are an essential part of the family heritage. Pop's bookshelf includes a thick, nicely bound leather book titled Everything I Know About Feedlot Management by Arlo Smith every page is blank! When discussing any subject, Arlo could often be heard to say, Well, I don't know much about that but I do know a lot about cats! When it came to ice cream, Arlo would say between big bites, I don't really like ice cream, but my doctor likes me to have it! Arlo is survived by Dorothy; their children Arloa and Arlo Ray; grandkids Jera Alexander-Dalton (Chris) and Dustin Alexander (Caitlin Murphy); step grandkids, Clint Aragon and Natalie Sullivan; great-grandkids Caden, McKennan, and Laiken Dalton, Calvin Alexander, Trent Sullivan, and Alyssa and Shauna Aragon; sisters, Alta Evans, Doris Stovall, and Arletta Cowan; and countless nieces and nephews.

The longtime educator loved to take classes himself. (Courtesy of the Smith family)Owen Smith, who helped establish the Community Colleges of Denver and was their first president, died in Longmont on March 31. He was 86. Smith "was bigger than life," said Josie Heath, a Boulder county commissioner, who once worked for him at Red Rocks College. "He was a visionary, artistic, athletic, handsome, and could relate to anyone," Heath said. She said Smith drafted legislation that was passed by the Colorado General Assembly to create the community college system. He was the first president of Red Rocks College and hired Heath to open the Women's Center - which was aimed at getting women into nontraditional classes, encouraging women who had left college to return and helping them find child care. The system included Front Range Community College and Community College of Denver, on the Auraria campus. Smith loved to take classes himself, and took welding, jewelry making and stained glass. Always modest, he never told the welding class who he was, except for his name, said his wife, Mary Smith. When the class was nearly over, one of the students, who called Smith "Smitty," said: "You know, you're pretty good at welding. I could get you a job where I work." Smith thanked him but said he already had a job. At graduation ceremonies the welding student said to his friend, "Hey, what's Smitty doing up there in a cap and gown?" Smith's son, Kent Smith of Walsenburg, said he learned discipline from his dad. "You paid attention because you knew he was demanding and didn't expect you to make a mistake the second time," Smith said. Owen Smith's advice always came roundabout, whether the subject was getting more education or climbing some of the state's 14,000-foot peaks, said close family friend Richard Ratliff of Pueblo. An expert skier, Owen pushed himself as well. He rode a bicycle until he was 84, made stained glass windows and doors and made furniture for his Breckenridge cabin. Owen Smith was born in Louisville on March 1, 1922, and was a flight instructor during World War II. He earned a bachelor's degree in science from Colorado State University, a master's in counseling from the University of Denver and a doctorate in education administration from the University of Northern Colorado. He taught science and coached basketball in Pueblo before being named assistant superintendent of School District 60 in Pueblo. He was a past president of the Colorado Education Association, CSU Alumnus of the year in 2001 and a past president of the National Association of State Education Presidents. He and his first wife, Donna Sullivan Smith, had three children. They later divorced. He married Mary Buerger in 1973. In addition to her and his son, he is survived by his daughter, Sally War of Clackamas, Ore., and his stepdaughter, Barbara Matthews of Port Townsend, Wash. His son Greg Smith died in 2003.

Sola, Fred Louis Fred Louis Sola - Trinidad Times Independent - August 16, 2011 - Fred Louis Sola was born in Wooten Feb. 26, 1918, to parents Margaret Ferdinando and Rocco Sola. He was the youngest of three children: Pete and Mary were his siblings. He passed away at home on his ranch in Starkville on Aug. 16, 2011, surrounded by his family. The family moved to Hastings for a short time before moving to Starkville. His parents and his Uncle Andy Boldini bought the family ranch in 1925. Growing up, Fred helped work the ranch milking cows and making cheese and butter. He often talked about the times that he delivered this milk, cheese and butter to the bustling mining town of Starkville. As he made his daily deliveries, he learned to speak several Italian dialects and Spanish. The family also raised cattle and provided meat to the company stores in Morley and Starkville. As a young man, Fred showed Hereford cattle at the National Stock Show in Denver. Fred attended elementary Memorials school at Central Starkville School and graduated from Trinidad High School in 1936. He went to work for Barney's Garage as a mechanic where he met Josephine Iuppa. They were married at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Trinidad Sept. 8, 1945. He began working for Ozzello Construction as a mechanic before going to work at the Allen Mine where he was a mechanic in the shop for many years. Sidles Company (C & M) hired Fred as a machinist/mechanic to run their shop. In 1968, he joined the staff at Trinidad State Junior College as an Auto Mechanic instructor. Because of his experience in farming, he was asked to start a Farm Equipment Mechanics program at the college. Fred then developed a program for Heavy Equipment Mechanics and was the instructor for that program until his retirement in 1984. Fred was often approached by his former students who thanked him for all that he taught them. During all of this time, Fred continued to work his family ranch where he and Josephine raised three children: Carol, Margaret, and Fred. After raising Hereford cattle all his life, in 1996 Fred began developing a herd of Blonde d'Acquatine cattle. The gentle nature of this breed, led him to purchase his first cow and calf pairs. He found great solace in walking among them and talking quietly to them. Although Fred always spent time raising his family and working hard, his creative nature influenced his many diverse hobbies. Fred developed an interest in woodworking when he was in high school where he made his first floor and table lamp. He always had a woodworking shop and most recently made an oak table and chair set for the kitchen. Fred started making saddles and working with leather as a young man. He was well known in the community for his saddle-making ability. As a 4-H leader, he shared this knowledge and skills with many young people. When Trinidad State Junior College offered classes in engraving and knife making, Fred jumped at the chance to learn these arts. While watching PBS, he developed an interest in working with stained glass. As with much of what Fred did, he taught himself this fine art. In 1995, Fred again became a student by taking a class in bronze casting where he made his first sculpture. While he was taking classes, he was asked to assist Ben Johnson, the instructor. Ben, Fred, and Ken Spurlock worked together to cast the Trinidad State Junior College Mascot. Over the years, he has sculpted and casted many bronze pieces, most of which were made in threes, so each of his children could have one. Fred's Italian heritage made winemaking a part of his life. Several times a year, Fred would also make Italian sausage using an old family recipe. Although he shared his sausage, the recipe is still a well kept secret. Many people enjoyed visiting with Fred since he had many stories to share and a wealth of knowledge about the Italian heritage and the history of Trinidad and the coal mines in the surrounding areas. A chance meeting with Giusi Ferrero Merlino, who was visiting from Italy looking for relatives from Starkville, encouraged him to visit Italy. Fred and his two daughters made a trip to Italy in 2001 where they spent time with Giusi and her mother Marta. During this visit, they also met Fred's first cousin Santina Sola and her daughter Rosa (Primo) Rossi and their children Nadia and Marco. Fred lived his life as a devoted, husband and father, influencing the lives of his children. But he also shared his vast knowledge of many things with students and friends.

Solano, Nettie Nettie Solano - Pueblo Chieftain - May 23, 2009 - Annual memorial to honor Pueblo's homeless who died - Fifteen people, aged 37 to 86, will be remembered at observance - Most of them lived an isolated, lonely life. Some were addicted to drugs or alcohol, others had mental or other health issues. All of them had at one time experienced homelessness and for some, that lifestyle may have contributed to their cause of death. Regardless of how they lived their lives, those who interacted with the 15 homeless men and women who died in Pueblo during the past 12 months want to ensure that they are remembered in death. On Tuesday, friends and family of the 15 individuals are invited to remember their loved ones at the sixth annual Pueblo Homeless Memorial service. The annual service is set to begin at noon near the St. Francis of Assisi statue, located on the far northwestern edge of the riverwalk. "We want to make sure that all these people are remembered and recognized for who they were," said LaTanya Yarbrough, a case manager at Posada agency for the homeless and organizer of the memorial event. "Everybody deserves to be remembered and for some, this is the only way that family and friends can gain closure is by holding a service like this." As part of the event, Yarbrough said family and friends are invited to share their memories about those who have died this year. The Pueblo Veterans Ritual team also will offer a 21-gun salute in honor of the two homeless veterans - Daryl Holt and Thomas Reynolds - who died this year.

Sommers - Pueblo Chieftain - April 28, 2000 - A 4-month-old infant who died Sunday under suspicious circumstances was a victim of child abuse, according to the Pueblo County Coroner. Christopher W. Sommers died at 3:34 p.m. Easter Sunday from bleeding on the brain, Coroner James Kramer said on Tuesday. He said Christopher's death certificate will read that the manner of death is pending investigation, but that the death was the result of ongoing child abuse. "The preliminary cause of death was subarachnoid hemorrhaging (bleeding on the brain) associated with acute and healing fractures of ribs and femur cause by child abuse," Kramer said. Kramer said Christopher died as the result of injuries received at an unknown location in Pueblo at the hands of an unknown person. Because some of the infant's injuries had begun to heal, Kramer said more medical tests were being conducted to determine a time period for the abuse. Deputy Chief Charlene Graham said Tuesday that the investigation into Christopher's death is being treated as a homicide probe. "It's our first homicide of the year," she said. "We made it one-third of the way, but not quite one-fourth of the way through the year." Graham, who heads the Pueblo Police Department's investigations division, and Sgt. Richard Lipich, head of juvenile investigations said the investigation is in an early stage. "We're still collecting a lot of medical evidence," Lipich said. "We're focusing on anybody who might have had access to the child." Police were dispatched to an apartment in the 1100 block of East Sixth Street about 2:30 p.m. Sunday to investigate a report of an infant who had stopped breathing. When they arrived, police found Christopher's mother, Nellie Sommers, 18, attempting to revive the baby with CPR. Christopher died about an hour later at Parkview hospital. Ms. Sommers told investigators that she had left the baby in the care of her fiancι, Robert Whitworth, 20, while she went to a nearby store to buy baby formula. When she returned, Whitworth went into the bedroom and found the baby turning blue and not breathing. Ms. Sommers, Whitworth and other friends and relatives have been interviewed as part of the investigation. According to an obituary published in The Pueblo Chieftain on Wednesday, Whitworth was not Christopher's natural father.

Memorial service, 2 p.m. Friday, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 1044 Spruce St. Full military honors by the Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team. Fellowship dinner will be served at the Pueblo Chapter of the American GI Forum, 125 Hector Garcia St. Pueblo Chieftain - July 2, 2010 - Family claims dead veteran was not common-law spouse of local woman - Alfred Spears has been dead for more than a month. But a battle over his remains rages on. Spears, 51, was a retired Army first sergeant who disappeared on May 20 from his hangout at Pueblo GI Forum, located Downtown. His body was found 11 days later in a field just a short walk from the social club for veterans. Spears' family in East St. Louis, Ill., Cleveland, Miss., and St. Louis, Mo., plus his former wife in Colorado Springs are angry because his body was so long undiscovered, because he was cremated and also because they have not received his remains. One memorial service in Mississippi was canceled and another, in St. Louis, scheduled for Saturday, will be held without the earthly remains of Alfred Spears -- a son, brother and uncle in a large family. Spears' family said that Bianka Williams, who said she was Spears' common-law wife, had no right to cremate their relative. "We bury the bodies of our dead," said Lavon Singleton, Spears' great-nephew. "I think there's games going on here," said Singleton, who lives in St. Louis. "Fred dies, and all of a sudden this woman says she's his common-law wife. When she filed the (first) police report, she was identified as his friend. When the police report that was filed when Fred was dead, she's listed as his wife." Because the case is open, a Chieftain reporter was not allowed access to the reports. Spears disappeared on May 20. Williams said she took him to the GI Forum, which sits southwest of Interstate 25 and First Street. She works there as a barmaid. She said Spears, who had been drinking heavily in recent years, fell when he got out of the car and disappeared five minutes after the pair entered the club. Williams reported Spears as missing on May 21. On May 29, a story about his disappearance appeared in The Pueblo Chieftain. Two days later, on Memorial Day, after veterans organized a search starting at the GI Forum, his body was found within 30 minutes. "How does a 6-foot-8 black man lie in a field for 11 days without being discovered?" Singleton asked Wednesday. "And then it takes 30 minutes to find him?" Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said Wednesday that Spears died of natural causes. There was no indication of trauma. Pueblo police closed the investigation into Spears' death, but now have reopened part of the case to look into allegations by Spears' family that Williams attempted to cash in on the veteran's demise. "I was (Spears') common-law wife for over 5 years," Williams said Wednesday. "But I'm not benefiting or anything out of his death." A jumbled tale Spears, who served 24 years before retiring in the early 2000s, mostly in missile defense, met his wife, Barbara, when he was stationed in Germany. "He was a tall, handsome black man, and I was a tall, beautiful German woman," Barbara Spears said Wednesday from her home in Colorado Springs. "We thought we would have beautiful children together." But during their 17 years together, Barbara miscarried eight times. They never had a child. The couple divorced in 2003. "He was back and forth to Pueblo," she said. "When we were married, he drank beer and only occasionally was drunk. But he would move there, move back here and move there. People told me he was drinking a lot." But the two remained close, and he often visited her and called frequently. "He was the best soldier there ever was," she said. "I know he would never marry again, because he never got over me. I will never marry again." The last time she saw Spears, in March, much had changed. "He was always a tall, handsome hunk of a man; he always kept his head clean-shaven. But when I saw him last, he had grown his hair, he had a beard and his clothes hung off him." She said Spears was sick with high blood pressure and degenerative joint disease. The day after he disappeared, word came from doctors that he had diabetes. Barbara Spears said she has met Bianka Williams. "The lady claims to be his common-law wife," Spears said. "He could not stand her. They were not living together. She came by after he died and wanted to get pictures for his obituary." In Spears' obituary in The Chieftain on June 10, Williams is listed as his wife and Barbara Spears as his former wife. "Alfred had been off and on with (Williams), but it was mostly bad, he said," Barbara Spears said. "She told me that Alfred had not been paying his bills, had bad checks. But that don't add up. He always paid his bills." Police investigate Detective Glen Fillmore is assigned to the case to look into any financial improprieties by Williams. But he said the case has a low priority because of a heavy caseload of serious crimes. "At this point, it doesn't look like there has been any criminal activity," Fillmore said. "I've talked with people who have told me that (Spears and Williams) introduced themselves as husband and wife on more than one occasion. In Colorado, all you have to do is announce yourself as husband and wife and you're common-law married." As for the bill for the funeral expenses, Fillmore said, "It may be a civil (court) matter." According to the Colorado Divorce and Family Law Guide, "Colorado is one of a few states remaining which still allows parties to enter into a common-law marriage, or a marriage without formal ceremonies." There are no hard rules on what makes a common-law marriage in the state. But several factors are in play. The one rule is the bond must be between a man and a woman. According to the Guide, the standard Colorado courts have outlined is that a common-law marriage in Colorado requires that the couple cohabit, mutually agree to be married, and openly hold themselves out to the public as married. There are no time frames. A couple that is clearly "boyfriend/girlfriend" could live together for 20 years and not be considered married, and one that declares marriage but lives together for a short time can be considered married, to the point that divorce laws could apply. "What dumb laws," Singleton thundered. "In Missouri, you have to get married to be married. Call me when (Williams) dies and I'll come to Pueblo and claim to be her common-law husband." Remains and money Spears' cremation and funeral were handled by Angelus Chapel Mortuaries. When interviewed Wednesday, an exasperated Charles McCulley, Angelus' owner, said that he had Spears' cremains, and was owed for the balance of funeral and the cremation costs. "Nobody's come forward," McCulley said of why he is still in possession of Spears' remains. "(Spears' family) have not asked me to ship the remains." He said that he thought Williams was Spears' wife because the couple earlier this year talked about buying a home together next door to his business complex on East Evans Avenue. He said he thought most of the expense money he already had received was paid for by donations of veterans and motorcyclists who knew Spears, who was a member of the Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team, a dedicated group of veterans that helps bury other veterans. "The American GI Forum and motorcycle riders paid for part of his funeral," McCulley said. "Bianka said she paid two-thirds of the bill, but we found out she didn't pay anything; the bikers and the veterans did," Singleton said. McCulley said Williams went to Fort Carson to try to get Spears' death and other benefits, but the military "would not give her the time of day." "I paid over two-thirds of the funeral," Williams said. "(Spears') family agreed to pay the rest."They have been slandering me, putting my name out there. If it was not for me and my friends, Alfred would still be lying in that field." She went on to blast his family for not helping find Spears' body and for not attending the funeral. "They call themselves family? I don't think so," she said. "I'd be on the next plane if one of my family was missing." "If she gave us the proper info, we'd be there," Singleton said. "She didn't have permission to cremate my uncle, and we've been lied to and tossed around. We are writing a letter to (Colorado) Attorney General (John) Suthers. "Williams is in it for financial gain, but we're going all the way on this."

Speed, William William Speed - Huerfano Journal - May 17, 2012 - by Nancy Christofferson - The Speed and Profitt families - In mid-May 1931, a true pioneer of Huerfano County died at the age of 81. His name was William Speed and he had lived in Huerfano County for nearly 60 years. Speed was a native of England, born in 1849, who immigrated to Kansas in 1871. In 1872 he moved to Huerfano County and became a sheep raiser. He married Mary Frances Profitt on June 24, 1877 in Badito. Mary Frances is often referred to as Mary Ann, and in the marriage records she is Frances Mary. The 1880 census lists her as Fanny. Ah well. Mary Frances herself was the member of a pioneering family. Her father was William Profitt, who was said to have been a Pony Express rider on the Santa Fe Trail. We take this to mean he had a contract to carry mail from some point to another, since the real Pony Express traveled some 1,900 miles between St. Joseph, MO and Sacramento, CA for just 18 months in 1860-1861, when Speed was only 10 and 11 years old [the term Pony Express was expanded sometime in history to include mail carriers of the frontier and, in fact, you can read about Pony Express riders working in Huerfano County. This has nothing to do with the authentic service of that name]. Another account says William Uncle Billy was a freighter along the Santa Fe Trail, and he may well have been both. Be that as it may, Profitt fought in the Mexican War and must have liked the West better than his native Missouri because he married Mary Nestora Gould in Taos about 1855. Mary Nestora's father was a Scotsman and evidently a trapper or trader who married a Taos woman and settled in New Mexico. The couple had at least seven children with Mary Frances being the oldest girl. Several of their children and grandchildren became coal miners, centered around Pictou. William and Mary Nestora settled near Fort Garland in 1861. He continued freighting and trapping, and was a friend of the famous Kit Carson and infamous Tom Tobin. The family moved into Huerfano County in 1868 and took up land in the vicinity of the Huerfano Butte. They were accompanied by William's father, John. William Profitt, as a farmer, often sold crops and animals in Walsenburg, such as corn, chickens and turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday back in the 1880s and '90s. His son David ran a store in Badito, and also raised crops. In her reminiscences, Mary Frances told of the early days when there was but one store in Walsenburg, an adobe building belonging to Fred Walsen. She no doubt accompanied her father to the town in her youth. After their marriage, William and Mary Frances Speed lived near Gardner before taking up a homestead north of the Huerfano Butte near Apache Creek, but still in the general environs of the old community of Butte Valley. He became a farmer and rancher. Butte Valley in the 1860s and '70s was a thriving place. It had been settled around 1862, supposedly by 10 Frenchmen working as teamsters for the Bent family, and was a stopping place on the stage line running between Denver and Santa Fe. Thus, there were lodging, stables and an eating establishment available to travelers. Several stores, albeit small ones, were in business. The Butte Valley post office was operational between 1869 and 1878. Another pioneer of the neighborhood was John H. Brown who was elected county clerk in 1866, refused to work in Badito or later in Walsenburg and maintained his office in his home into the 1870s. In addition, Brown insisted even the county commissioners meet there. He could do this, because he was not only county clerk, but also a commissioner. The Butte Valley school district was #2, having been formed in the early days of the Colorado Territory. William and Mary Frances had numerous children. These included sons Sidney H. and Fred J. Sidney was born in 1888 on the homestead and married a woman named Kate. They moved to Delta where he died in 1952. The couple evidently had no children. Fred, born in 1894, moved up valley to Redwing, where he was a farmer. He married Mary Josephine Lindley and they had at least one child, Alice Ann, born in 1928. The Speeds also had five daughters. The oldest was Sarah, born in 1878, who married John McMahon in 1898. Sarah died at age 31 in 1906, leaving three small children. After Sarah, the twins Della and Maria Speed were born in April 1885. Maria must have died young. Della married J.A. McMahon, a section foreman for the railroad, in 1903. Then there was Margaret who married a Beeler and Alice who married Frank L. Dancy. William Speed died in 1931 and Mary Frances carried on into her 93rd year, dying in 1952. William Profitt died of extreme old age in 1908 (at age 84). Mary Nestora had died in 1903 at 64 years. The closeness of the two families may be seen in the fact that in the Speed Cemetery at Butte Valley, five of the nine marked gravesites belong to Profitts. There are also two McMahons and two Lewis infants. The E.A. Lewis family were neighbors. The McMahons were Fred, 1902-1930, no doubt the child of Sarah, and Helen Matilda, 1909-1931. Helen had been married to Fred McMahon. The Profitts in the graveyard are children of William and Mary Nestora, including a son with no name who died at almost 24 years in 1885, Martha who died in 1873 at one year, Clara, the wife of John Profitt, who died in 1905 and their child, Rosa, who died in 1895 at five. There is also a stone engraved A.P., who may be Alfred. Ironically, William and Mary Frances Speed are buried in Walsenburg's Masonic Cemetery. Della McMahon's obituary said she was buried in the Speed Cemetery. She died of the Spanish Influenza in November 1918. The Speed burying ground is occasionally called the Butte Valley Cemetery, which causes some confusion. William and Mary Nestora also, according to their obituaries, were buried in the Speed, as is a son of John and Clara who died in 1896, but there are no records or tombstones to show this. There are many others, perhaps 20-25, said to be interred at Butte Valley, but they are probably in the cemetery west of the Speed and north of the Huerfano River. Speer, James A. James A.

The following is a speech entitled; Who is Chelsea Sperandio? Written by Chelsea for one of her college classes. Chelsea Sperandio was born in Colorado Springs on August 21, 1987. It was a great year, Dirty Dancing was hitting the big screen and Don Jovi was still living on a prayer. I moved to Aguilar, Colorado in 1988, where I spent the next 18 years of my life. Growing up, my parents' owned an Italian restaurant call the Iron Horse, in Walsenburg, CO. I spent many years working for them; I also spent many summers working for anyone other than them. In 2006, I graduated from Aguilar High School in a very large class of 7. Shortly after graduation, I moved to Nebraska to further my education. Throughout high school I played all sports that were offered all four years, except track because I just don't understand the running a leaping thing. I learned to play many instruments in the school band because like now, even then I was very indecisive on what I wanted to do. I moved to Nebraska in the summer of 2006 where I attended Northeast Community College in hopes of being a paramedic. My first years of college were fun .I lived in the dorms where I was a student advisor to 300 partying hormonal freshman. I worked at restaurants as a waitress and moonlighted as a life saving member of the local hospital and fire department. In December of 2008, I moved back to Pueblo, CO to attend Colorado State University and be closer to family. While attending CSU the time waiting for the program that I had planned on attending took too long so I decided to move over to Pueblo Community College. In conclusion: During my time here .I have realized that I don't need a career in one particular area, I just need associate degrees in everything. When I grow up I would like to be a dentist, a nurse, a doctor, a paramedic, a ballerina, a social worker, or whatever my little heart decided.

She also loved her Iron Horse family and her Red Lobster family. We, her family and friends can find comfort in knowing that she was welcomed and safely in her Daddy's (James) arms, surrounded by Grandparents Chester and Josephine Sperandio, Grandfather John Swartz, and all our other departed, loved family and friends.

James Spinuzzi - Pueblo Chieftain - August 23, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1966 - 1967 - Vietnam Takes Toll on Pueblo's Sons - Young people shopping at Pueblo music stores were buying the new "Help" album by The Beatles.

The war was on the front pages of The Chieftain and Star-Journal every day, complete with combat photos and maps where the heaviest fighting was taking place.

Spittle, Anthony Anthony Spittle - Pueblo Chieftain - June 28, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1950 - 1951 - Fifties Usher in a New Era - City Gets New Form of Government - Korean War Breaks Out - For many residents, however, the summer of 1951 will be remembered as another terrifying polio summer. In July, the mysterious, crippling disease had sickened 38 people around the city. Five were dead by the first week of August and the sick roll quickly climbed to 54 cases, then to more than 100. Once again there was talk of delaying or even canceling the State Fair but it opened anyway with Gov. Dan Thornton on hand to encourage the crowd. It didn't help much because the Fair only attracted 48,000 people - half the crowd that came in 1950. School districts 60 and 70, however, did not hesitate to delay opening school that year out of fear of spreading polio. The districts pushed the first day back to Sept. 17 and canceled their early season football games. As autumn arrived, the illness went into its usual retreat, leaving a trail of a dozen dead, 245 people hospitalized and 125 people getting home care. 1951 - August 3: Anthony Spittle, 16, is the fifth polio victim to die in Pueblo.

Spoor, Dewey (Mrs.) Mrs. Dewey Spoor - Pueblo Indicator - September 21, 1929 - Fatal Accident on Rye Road - Three persons cremated in burning car following a bump at Fisher Bridge - The most gruesome accident that ever occurred in or near Pueblo took place last Sunday evening at 9 o'clock on the Rye road near Fisher's ranch, eight miles out. C.V. Hunter, driving a new Ford coupe model auto, hurtled the car squarely against the bridge while traveling at 30 miles as it is thought after questioning Lawrence Merrill, 17 years old, the only one of four who were in the ill-fated car to escape. Immediately following the crash the car caught fire from gasoline dripping on the exhaust and ignition spark, or both, and everything of an inflammable nature about the auto was consumed. Merrill was rendered unconscious but his senses returning he managed to extricate himself although severely burned, he could not render aid to the others, and they perished miserably, they being caught like rats in a steel trap. The dead: C.V. Hunter, 35, a steel worker, 1526 Routt avenue. Mrs. Hunter, 27, same address. Mrs. Dewey Spoor, 130 Tyler street. It is thought all of them were so badly shocked by the impact that they were unconscious when the enveloping flames devoured them. The bodies of all three were burned to a black, crisp mass like charcoal. Sheriff Sam Curran, Undersheriff A. L. McAuley, and Coroner C. N. Caldwell hurried to the scene of the wreck, and the Novak garage brought the car in on a truck, the bodies still being held fast in the wreckage. The front axle and the bumper were bent in a U shape as they struck the concrete wall or abutment. The glass in the windshield was melted and the entire car burned and disfigured. The Hunters were in the front seat and Mrs. Spoor and Merrill occupied the rumble seat. All day long Monday hundred and hundreds of people visited the Novak garage in Bessemer to view the wrecked car. The gas tank in the new Ford car is located under the cowl and in front of the driver's seat, and this arrangement caused a great deal of talk, the general opinion being that it is an unsafe arrangement, dangerous, and probably was the cause of the fire that took three lives and burned the car to cinders. The accident was the topic of conversation all day following the fearsome Holocaust. Spoor, James James Spoor Pueblo Chieftain August 20, 1918 Bessemer Pioneer Dead James Spoor, an old-time resident of Bessemer, died at a local hospital last evening.

Sporleder, Charles Siegfried Jr. Charles Siegfried Sporleder Jr. - Huerfano Journal - May 19, 2010 - Sig Sporleder graduates - Charles Siegfried Sporleder Jr., 88, passed away May 12, 2010 surrounded by his family. The term, graduate is a gentle family joke, that a loved one has completed all their studies in this life, and has graduated on to heaven. It is significant that May 12 was his beloved wife's birthday to whom he remained devoted in the 22 years since her death. Sig was born December 19, 1921 in the family home, 114 East Cedar in Walsenburg, Colorado, and was baptized at the Episcopal Church on 5th Street in Walsenburg. He was raised in Huerfano County, and graduated from Huerfano County High School in 1940. He attended Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, and then continued his education in industrial management at the University of Denver until World War II interrupted his studies in April 1943. He proudly served in the European Theater as a Master Supply Sergeant/ Quarter Master with the 124th Quartermaster Company, Service Group (Aviation) in the ground forces of the 8th Air Force under Curtis Lemay. He was in charge of 45 men. After the war, he returned home and bought the feed and flour end of the Sporleder Selling Company, which his grandfather, Louis B. Sporleder, Sr., helped found in 1894. The business, Sig Sporleder Feeds, was further expanded in 1969 with the purchase of the Walsenburg Feed Mill. Sig was an astute businessman, who knew how to run a business in a fair and honest fashion. Special customers and friends knew if they dropped by, he was always happy to talk to them, or give them a pull from the bottle he kept behind the counter during the holiday season. An active cattle rancher, he ran a herd near the East Spanish Peak in the summertime on the family ranch, and wintered the cattle on his Huerfano River ranch. Sig met the love of his life, Ruth Henry, in the autumn of 1953, and they married three months later on Dec. 29. They remained partners for life both before and after Ruth's death in 1988. Sig won the respect of everyone he met with his good natured ribbing and friendly personality. Son was a greeting he used for every male older and younger than him. To him, each person was special. As an example of his ability to accept people for who they were, he earned the respect of the local hippie communities in the 1960's and 70's doing business with them when others wouldn't. Sig was once called as a character witness for a hippie family friend, where he brought the courtroom to a standstill when he openly admitted to selling him grass seed. Sig promptly corrected himself- Not THAT kind of grass seed! He was a great man; fair and honest in all his dealings, with a strong moral sense of right and wrong. He helped countless youngsters get started in agriculture, providing special feeds for their 4-H projects and purchasing their animals at the county fair. In 2000, he and his son Eric received the Outstanding Conservationist of the Year-Ranch Division Award from the Colorado Association of Soil Conservation Districts. On May 8, 2010, he was named the Outstanding Citizen of Huerfano County by the Colorado State Republicans. Sig was proud that his grandfather helped establish Walsenburg in the 1870s. He never considered settling anywhere else but in Walsenburg, his true "home. He truly loved the people in his hometown. He loved the mountains, and his beloved Spanish Peaks, enjoying many family excursions on the family properties there. Sig was preceded in death by the love of his life, Ruth Henry Sporleder; his sisters Virginia Gege (Malin) Anderson and Geraldine Gerry Sporleder; a granddaughter, Allison Todd; and his mother and father, Gertrude and Carl Sporleder. He is survived by his children, Karin (John) Niedfeldt of Salida, CO; Eric (Alice) Sporleder of Walsenburg, CO; Ingrid (Danny) Todd of Magnolia, TX; Gretchen (Brian) Orr of Walsenburg, CO; and Karl (Debi) Sporleder of Walsenburg, CO.

Sig is also survived by his sister-in-law, Trudy Henry of Dodge City, KS; nieces and nephews, Alan (Claudia) Anderson of Salem, OR; Marilyn (Ray) Anderson, Sandy, UT; and Chuck (Tami) Anderson of South Jordan, UT; and Jim (Stephanie) Anderson of Ontario, CA; Jan Scoggins and Dana Howard, of Dodge City KS; Linda Bush of Merriam, KS; Barbara Henry Besser of Colby, KS; Miriam Henry-Weidemeyer and Lorin E.

Sig is also survived by numerous cousins, including Peggy and Bob Meyer, Elaine Levy Lenzini, Katie Gornick Levy, Suellen Levy and Anne Levy all of Walsenburg, CO; Carla Turner, of Calhan CO, and their children and grandchildren. Funeral plans are set for Sunday, May 23rd, 12:30 pm at the United Church in Walsenburg, with a celebration of his life to follow at the Huerfano County Community Center.

Springer, Scott Duane Scott Duane David Springer - Huerfano World Journal - December 8, 2011 - Scott Duane David Springer came into this life on December 13, 1986 waving hello to his parents and left this life on November 12, 2011 near Hartsel, CO while traveling to celebrate and spend time with his family. Scott was born in Pueblo, CO (the same hospital his dad was born in) and he came home to five older siblings. He lived up Ideal Canyon near Walsenburg, CO, where he was a 5th generation cattleman on the family ranch. He attended three years of elementary school in La Veta, CO. In 1995 the family moved to Hartsel, CO. where he graduated from South Park High School, [2005]. While still in middle school Scott got his own brand and started his cattle herd. At such a young age his business plan included passing his ranching legacy on to his kids. Scott had a unique way of solving problems, he could fix almost anything. He had worked as an outfitter, a guide, a lineman, a roughneck on the drilling rigs, and on numerous ranches before returning to the Springer ranch. The three brothers are huge practical jokers. One time the boys came in the house, Scott had on a ball cap and tennis shoes, he slouched and kept his back to his mom, she asked the other two who was with them, and they thought that was hilarious that she did not recognize her own son without boots and a cowboy hat on. Scott, like his siblings, participated in 4-H. He twice took projects to the Colorado State Fair, taking reserve grand champion in plants and soils and later in forestry. Scott had a very generous and caring soul. His last year of 4-H, he gave his hog to a new 4-H'er whose own hog had suffered misfortune getting to weigh-ins. He did not know a stranger, as he made friends quickly. Scott brought home many troubled people for his family to take care of, once he even picked up a homeless person off a street corner. In 2008 Scott reunited with his true love, Joy. They were never apart from that day on. They were married and became the parents of adorable twins. He continued to cowboy and work on the oil rigs with his brothers, Preston and Owen, in order to support his family. He had recently moved his family to Westcliffe, CO and he was quite proud of his home, his family and the beautiful scenery that surrounded them. Scott Springer is and always will be a COWBOY; he loved being in the saddle and soaking in the outdoors. He had a gentle yet efficient way of working animals. His family was so proud of the man he had become and how he was taking such perfect care of his family. He told his mom days before his passing what a lucky guy he was, that he had the most wonderful wife. He loved to spend time with family, friends, children, animals and music. We will continue to talk about his generous heart, his unique outlook on life; the passionate, blissful love he shared with his wife; the way he took care of his children; how he loved his nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents; how hard he played with his friends; the close bond and numerous memories shared between the six siblings; and the deep connection he has with his parents. His passionate care for his whole family and all of his friends will not be forgotten. Scott's mom is compiling a book about the essence of Scott for his children. It would be greatly appreciated if those who knew Scott would email or mail stories to springer1975@gmail.com or PO Box 53, Hartsel CO 80449. A fund for his wife and children has been set up at the Colorado East Bank, PO Box 673, Fairplay, CO 80440. Scott was welcomed to heaven by several family members and friends. He leaves his adored wife, Joy Anna (Bjorklund) Springer, his children, two year old twins, Ely Duane and Kaylie Anna. He is survived by his parents, Dennis and Theresa Springer of Hartsel, CO; and grandparents Glen and Angelina Springer of Brush, CO; and David and Rosemary Smeal of Albuquerque, NM. He leaves his siblings, Wendy (Benny) Nichols and their four children of Molina, CO; Gail Springer of Aurora, CO; Sandy (Jeff) Jones and their two children of Grand Junction, CO; Preston (Erin) Springer and their two children and expecting one of Hartsel, CO; and Owen (Kendall) Springer and daughter Lyla of Hartsel, CO.

Later, Dick was the managing broker for the Sam Jones Agency. Dick, along with Mario Bassi and Jack Cox, formed Jadima Construction & Investment in the early '70s, which became one of the largest builders in Pueblo. Paul Jones and Sam Sharpe came along and wanted to start a convenience store chain and call it the catchy name "Loaf 'N Jug." Jadima owned the real estate and built and owned half of the first 30 stores. Jadima Construction also started the Sonic drive-in restaurant franchises in Pueblo and Denver. After selling the Loaf 'N Jug business and stores, Dick became a commodities broker with E.F. Hutton. He enjoyed the last 15 years of his working life owning Springfield Appraisal. He was an accomplished instrument-rated pilot, excelled at woodworking, made powered remote-controlled model aircraft and became computer literate for his businesses before most people knew there was any value to computers.

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

Information obtained yesterday was to the effect that Mrs. Stahl is an invalid and is living with her sister, Mrs. O. R. Rutherford, 110 west 12th street. Pueblo Chieftain April 24, 1917 The body of Zackary T. Stahl who was killed in an automobile accident at Fowler Saturday, arrived in the city yesterday.

Stanifer, David Roy David Roy Stanifer - Pueblo Chieftain - May 10, 2012 - David Roy Stanifer passed away suddenly. As he lived, so he died - a quiet, humble man. He was a gentle giant with a rapier wit and shy smile, a man of subtle inspiration. Though his voice seldom rose, one felt compelled to heed his clever wisdom. He was an engineer and an artist, a thinker and rogue, a biker and a baker. Whatever the endeavor, Dave approached it with mindfulness and precision. He lived a life of elegant simplicity. We mourn the passing of this modest man of integrity, who earned the respect and regard of his colleagues at the Department of Transportation. As project manager, he required perfection. His distinguished 30-year career was highlighted by many successful projects. Dave's two true loves in his life were his beautiful daughters, Beth and Sarah. His devotion and pride were ever present to his girls. He was a devoted son, trusted friend, a faithful brother, and a loving uncle. Always the helper in times of need, his burly embrace eased the pain and fear of his loved ones. Dave was not a man of boast or swagger, though he possessed keen intelligence and talent. He was more comfortable in the shadow, content to appreciate the vanity of others and be still in his voice. He was loved by all who knew him as a true and loyal friend. We will all miss his laughter, his crushing hugs, and his counsel. He will live in our hearts forever. Dave was preceded in death by his father, Glenn Stanifer; and his brothers, Jack Stanifer and Rick Stanifer. Dave is survived by his daughters, Beth Stanifer and Sarah Stanifer; his mother, Margaret Stanifer; his brothers, Gary (Kathy) Stanifer, Pat (Brenda Oliver) Stanifer and Mike Stanifer; and his best friend, Sam Pisciotta. A celebration of Dave's life, 7 p.m. today at The Albany Event Center, Seventh and Albany. Stanko, Clarence J. Clarence J. Babe Stanko - Pueblo Chieftain - October 9, 2013 - Clarence J.

Stansfield, Richard Habberton Richard Habberton Stansfield - Pueblo Chieftain - May 7, 1991 - Dick Stansfield died doing thing he loved Richard H. Stansfield had the last word - Richard Habberton Stansfield got his wish. He died the way he wanted to, in his beloved Rocky Mountain high country, looking for a ghost town. Stansfield was killed Saturday in an auto accident near Salida where he and a small group of Pueblo Rock Club members had been gathering specimens at an old mine. After the group's climb, Stansfield and Charles Akers hopped into Stansfield's four-wheel drive to check out a ghost town on up Colorado County Road 185. The vehicle ran off the road, flipped two and a quarter times. Stansfield, 70, was pronounced dead at Salida Medical Center. Akers' left arm was broken in four places and he was transported to St. Mary-Corwin Hospital in Pueblo. Mrs. Stansfield said Monday that her husband would have wanted a death doing something he loved - exploring ghost towns. Nearly a decade ago he reported that the two of them had worn out three Jeep Cherokees exploring Colorado and crossing 64 passes, more than 50 of them off-road. Stansfield was known for years throughout Southern Colorado as a man of strong convictions. His extensive obituary, which appeared Monday in The Pueblo Chieftain reflected his intense devotion to God, country and the independent conservative movement. It should. He wrote it himself about two years ago, according to his widow. "There, I'll get even with them," Mrs. Stansfield quoted him Monday, indicating that he would get the last word in his long-standing debate with more liberal points of view. Stansfield was born Feb. 18, 1921, in Mt. Carmel, Ill. He attended the University of Illinois, Aurora College and Northwestern University before entering his life-long advertising career. He began that career in Chicago as advertising manager, first for the Diamond T Motor Truck Co., then vice president of Waldie & Biggs Inc., then ad manager of Lindberg Hevi-Duty. He took a year out to write a 1,500-page book, the Advertising Manager's Handbook, then joined Mack Trucks Inc. in 1969. In 1971 he was named advertising manager of CF&I and the couple moved from Cooperstown, Pa., to Pueblo. He came to love the city. "You must be mentally weak to want to leave here," he said in a 1983 interview. In 1975 he wrote "How to Get the Job You Want: Where You Want It." Then he began his own publishing company, Western Research Inc., a venture Mrs. Stansfield said she will continue. About the same time he opened Arrow Liquors in the Pueblo Mall Convenience Center. It was there that he went to the aid of the owner of another shop who was being threatened by a man with a knife. The act earned him the Optimist award for "willingness to become involved." Stansfield, a devout born-again Christian, sold the liquor store several years ago, a reflection of his Southern Baptist faith. Among a broad range of activities, he was a Shriner and member of the National Rifle Association. He is survived by his widow, the former Jane McDowell, and a son, Robert B.

Stanton, Sadie M. Sadie M. Stanton Pueblo Chieftain October 13, 1917 Youth Held in Jail for Death of Mrs. Stanton Mrs. Sadie M. Stanton who was struck by an auto driven by Raye Young of Wiggins, Colo., at noon Thursday at Tenth and Greenwood, died at 4 o'clock yesterday morning at St. Mary's Hospital. Dr. W. F. Rich who performed an autopsy on the body declared that five ribs were broken and that the lungs were pierced by broken bones, creating internal hemorrhages which caused his death. Mrs. Stanton leaves a husband and 2 daughters and the family is well known in the city. Coroner Ray Taylor held an inquest at the Davis & Vories mortuary at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The jury was taken to the scene of the accident and later inspected the auto would struck Mrs. Stanton. R. T. Covey was foreman of the jury. The jury heard evidence from 10 witnesses and Ray Young also gave his statement of the accident. Following the hearing the jury returned a verdict as follows: "We the jury find that Mrs. Sadie M. Stanton came to her death as a result of being struck by an auto driven by Ray Young in the city of Pueblo on October 11 and that the auto was exceeding the city speed limits." Assistant Dist. Atty. L. E. Langdon who conducted the examinations of witnesses at the inquest ordered Young held following the verdict of the jury and Deputy Sheriff Deliquadri returned Young to the county jail where he has been held since the accident. The car which Young was driving was a 6-cylinder Ford of a type not now on the market. It is a runabout and has been stored in the Arkansas Valley garage for 3 years until Thursday when Young and his grand-uncle, G. W. Bowers of Wichita, Kan., owner of the auto, called for it. Young was to take the car to Wiggins, Colo., and it was to have been a present for him on his 18th birthday from his granduncle. Mr. Bowers claimed there were only 50 of the cars made and that it could attain a speed of 83 miles an hour. A dramatic feature of the inquest occurred when the aged grand-uncle asked permission from the prosecuting attorney to make a statement. He talked at length about how the car came to be in Pueblo and explained that his grand-nephew had never driven a car but a 4-cylinder Ford and had never driven an auto in a city. He said that he called up the garage and urged that an expert mechanician be sent out with Ray Young to instruct the boy as to handling the auto. To machinists were sent out with Young, one the foreman of the garage. They testified that they repeatedly warned Young during the ride to slow down and that he did not follow their instructions. They rode from the garage at Seventh and Court to Mineral Palace and drove to Greenwood Street on Fifteenth. They were driving south on Greenwood to return to the garage when the accident occurred at Greenwood and Tenth. Young was driving the car with the garage employees standing on the running boards. Young stated to the jury that he found difficulty in operating the auto and that when the car turned off Greenwood onto Tenth he could not control it and that it was going at a terrific speed and struck Mrs. Stanton despite the fact that he was using the brakes. He admitted he did not apply the emergency brake. Mrs. Stanton was standing at the curbing waiting to board and Irving Place car. The employees of the garage testified that they had warned Young to look out for the car. Sam Church, motorman on the streetcar, said he saw the approaching auto traveling at a speed which he estimated to be over 45 miles an hour, and he stopped his streetcar for fear of a collision, realizing that it was not within human power to stop the auto. The auto is of the converted runabout type, weighs 3,600 pounds and has a large wheelbase. Both wheels on the right-hand side of the auto were smashed to kindling and the car is only fit for the junk pile as a result of the collision with the curbing. It traveled over 50 feet after both wheels had crumpled, sliding on the axles. Both of the mechanicians were hurled from the car when it collided with the curb and both were slightly bruised. Young was not injured. The father of Young came to Pueblo from Wiggins with his son and their uncle in a Ford car and were to return to Wiggins today. The uncle, Mr. Bowers, had planned to go to Calif. by rail to join his own son, who is in that state. Patrolman Johnson and McDonald who were sent out to investigate the accident when it was reported to the police department, were witnesses at the inquest. They had taken measurements of the streets and the marks left in the gravel pavement by the skidding auto and the city engineering department had made a blueprint diagram of the scene which was such an excellent piece of work that the district attorney retained it to reuse later in the case which it is likely will be filed against Ray Young if relatives of Mrs. Stanton care to prosecute Mrs. Stanton resided Greenwood and Ninth streets and was a member of the Pythian Sisters and of the Pueblo Division, G. I. A. to B. of L. E. Pueblo Chieftain October 16, 1917 The funeral of Mrs. Sadie M. Stanton was held yesterday morning from the Davis & Vories Chapel. Rev. A. J. Waller conducted the services.

Stevens, Herbert Humphreys Jr. Herbert Humphreys Stevens, Jr. - Davis Mortuary - July 26, 2013 - Herbert Humphreys Stevens, Jr. Herb was born June 30, 1927 in Springfield, Ohio. The family moved to Evansville, Indiana for two years and then to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1929. Herb attended school in south Minneapolis until a new home was built in St. Louis Park. He graduated from high school in 1946. After graduation he enlisted in the United States Army and basic training in Ft. Bliss, Texas. He was assigned to the Army of Occupation in Japan. Returning to Minnesota, he enrolled at the University of Minnesota, where he graduated with the Centennial Class of 1951 from the Institute of Technology. He was a member of Triangle Fraternity, Engineers and Architects. Herb met Elaine in 1949, while she was living next door, at the home of Jim and Hope Mitchell, while attending Minneapolis Business College. She was a nanny for their two daughters. The eldest daughter, Bam, kept talking about the people next door, including Marge and Herb, giving Elaine the impression that they were a married couple. Marge was married to Jerry Dirks. Friendly conversation and dating followed, with Jim Mitchell loaning Herb a car for dating. Three months after college graduation, Herb and Elaine were married at First Lutheran Church, Olivia, Minnesota. It was an evening wedding with a reception in the church basement. Most receptions were simple, ice cream, cake, nuts and mints. Hope Mitchell poured coffee. And of course, the church basement ladies hosted the reception. Herb's family were members of the Cathedral Church of St. Mark (Episcopal) where he was confirmed and then a crucifer for worship. In our transfers, we became active members of the Lutheran Church. Friendships made through our churches are continued blessings. Our first move and apartment was in District Heights, Maryland Moves followed to Lincoln, NE, Columbus, Ohio, Minneapolis, Portland, OR, Slidell, LA, and to Littleton, 40 years ago. Four daughters arrived in the cities of Lincoln, Columbus, Minneapolis and Portland. Herb was a fantastic father, often getting up at night with them for their needs. The years added sons-in-law, Scott, Bob, Gary and Chris. Eight grandchildren add the grand total of eighteen to our family. Woodworking and gardening were two of Herb's favorite things to do. Traveling by car with the family meant trips to see the Minnesota family. The grandparents were thrilled and seeing cousins for the girls was important. Our overseas travel included cruises, two trips to Australia where we established our friendship with the Bega-Littleton Sister City Exchange, New Zealand, a first trip in 1990 to the Scandinavian countries and visiting Elaine's relatives and our friends. In 2005 , we and ten from our family, visited Sweden during Midsummer, and seeing family and friends. Herb was Swedish by marriage. He always said that he could speak his own language, English! He attended Swedish class and called it the "eating and drinking society" because of the refreshments. All of the food served at Swedish Club of Denver, except lutfisk, were his tummy favorites. He was proud that we had family member's participation and two granddaughters were Lucia Queens. The joy of Herb's working for the U.S. Geological Survey, as a research hydrologist, working on the Columbia River and the Mississippi River, kept a small part of American history alive for him. He retired in December of 1989 and enjoyed almost 24 years of retirement. His last Minnesota trip was in October of 2010. Herb died peacefully on July 24, 2013 at 1:15 AM in the loving presence of family members, wonderful nurses, and doctors in the Emergency Room at Littleton Adventist Hospital. Stevens, Kezia J.

Stevenson, Peter Thompson Peter Thompson Stevenson Pueblo Chieftain March 16, 1919 Mother's Search for Son Starts in Scotland Ends in Pueblo Hospital Ward "That's my mother, I know her I know her." Those were the feeble words of Peter Stevenson as he lay on the bed in his ward in St. Mary's Hospital yesterday just hanging to life by a thread. Standing aghast and dazed with shock and doubt, stood Mrs. Martha Thompson Stevenson gazing into the distorted, death palette and emaciated face instead of that of her buoyant boy of 14. It had been 16 years since she had last looked into his face, in Bonnie Scotland. He now is 30. Mrs. Martha Vannornan, a younger sister gained composure enough to interrogate and converse with the brother and convinced the mother that it was her son. The reunion was an affecting scene - one of life's thrilling emotions. The mother and daughter came from Fort William, Canada, and reached Pueblo yesterday morning. They were met at the depot by Sec. Charles Kincaid of the R. R. Y. M. C. A. and accompanied to the hospital, to meet the son that can hold to life but a few days longer at best says the physicians. He is in the last stages of tuberculosis. There is a human interest story that attaches to this incident. Back in Scotland, young Peter Stevenson acquired the wanderlust and left home and journeyed to America, where he continued to roam. He kept in partial touch with the mother until 1913, when all trace of each other disappeared. It was a longing for her boy that brought the mother from Scotland to Canada, but Peter kept roving and the mother could not locate him. Although she would hear from him occasionally, he was never stationed long enough to hear from her - until he finally lost her address except "330 Brock St." somewhere in Canada. A year or so ago, from exposure in Idaho, he contracted tuberculosis. He came to Colo. and for a time was on a ranch at Stone City. It was only recently that he came to Pueblo, and walking the streets with 104° of fever, he attracted Red Cross notice, and Miss Burns, Assistant Secretary of the Red Cross, called to her assistance David Graham, Assistant Secretary of the Railroad Y. M. C. A., Secretary Kincaid being absent at the time. Mr. Graham is also a Scotchman and new the Scotch home of Peter Stevenson. He at once put the case before the National Council of Y. M. C. A.'s at Toronto, Canada, and they caused a search through the post office department for the mother at "330 Brock St." The search was successful within two weeks, and now the mother and daughter are here to be with a son and brother in his last hours. In this human work, Miss Burns of the Red Cross, Miss Loop of the city Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Graham of the R. R. Y. M. C. A. played a part. When first discovered at the emergency hospital they secured his transfer to St. Mary's. And the Red Cross never ceased to minister to young Stevenson's needs. Pueblo Chieftain March 17, 1919 Young Man Who Had Not Seen His Mother for Years Dies at Hospital Peter Thompson Stevenson, age 30, died at St. Mary's Hospital yesterday morning. This is the wandering Scotch young man whose mother and sister reached Pueblo Saturday to find the boy for whom they had been searching and had not seen for 16 years just on the verge of death. He recognized his mother, and conversed with her which sweetened his last few hours. And the consolation was great for the mother who was permitted to minister to the son in this crucial moment. The story of the long search was told in yesterday's Chieftain. Mrs. Martha Thompson Stevenson, his mother, and Mrs. Martha VanNorman, his sister, reside at Fort William, Ontario, Canada. They will have the body buried here, however. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the United Funeral Home, with Rev. F. A. Hatch officiating. Interment will be at Roselawn.

More than a score of lives were reported lost when both the Missouri Pacific and the Denver and Rio Grande passenger trains were swept into the river near Nuckolls Packing company last night. Many others were reported dead. Scores of persons were caught as the rushing torrents in the lead of the flood swept around Fourth Street and down Main. Most of them escaped by climbing out the second stories of the buildings The following information was obtained by the Chieftain representative as authentic at 3 p.m. Monday, afternoon of bodies in the morgues of the city: Temporary morgue at T.G.

Pressy, in Charge of Identification Pueblo, June 7 Forty-two bodies of flood victims were in the morgues of the city tonight. Five additional bodies were recovered and one of the unidentified bodies was identified The official list of dead follows: Samuel Still, Pueblo.... None of the 31 (?) recovered bodies between Pueblo and Boone reported last night by the rangers are included in this list. Likewise it does not contain the names of persons merely believed to have perished. Only bodies actually in the three morgues that are in operation are included. Estimates of the deaths last night included 10 bodies reported to have been recovered on the St. Charles Mesa and a number of bodies not yet recovered but declared by searching parties to have been located under water and debris which made their removal impossible.

After more than 13 years as a PE teacher and football coach at Pueblo County High School, he retired, and shortly after accepted a job as Runyon Sports Complex assistant field director, a job he dedicated himself to until the time of his death. Denny was proud to be from Pueblo. He loved this town and the great people who surrounded him. Wherever he went he always was fondly greeted with a "hi coach." He touched the lives of many, on and off the football field. He will be remembered for his dedication to kids, his bold demeanor and compassionate heart.

Story, Robert Joyce Robert Joyce Story - Pueblo Chieftain - June 3, 1994 - Veteran Recalls D-Day Trip - Picture Caption: Robert Story, veteran at the Memorial Day services on Monday at Colorado State Veterans Center, Homelake. Monte Vista - Robert Story remembers exactly where he was on D-Day, June 6, 1944. "I was driving a Jeep from Rome to Naples," the 84-year-old Army veteran and resident of the Colorado State Veterans Center at Homelake recalled. Story missed the Normandy Invasion but was involved in other well-known World War II battles at Salerno, Anzio, and Monte Casino, all part of the Allied offensive during the last crucial year of the war in Europe. He also was on the fringe of the Battle of the Bulge near Bastogne. Story served in the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division. At some times, his unit was under Gen. George Patton. Story was on detached services, being transferred around outfits and was a private first class when he enlisted July 4, 1942, and when he returned in September 1945. He returned to his childhood Colorado with two Purple Hearts after being wounded twice. "I zigged when I should have zagged," he noted. Today, Story is a life member of the Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars and a member of the American Legion and active in all three organizations. On Memorial Day, he laid the DAV's wreath on the Civil War-Spanish-American War dead monument here. Born in Missouri, he moved with his family to the Pueblo area as a lad and spent some time in a Pueblo orphanage with his two sisters after their mother died. He grew up in Meeker where he lived with his grandmother. After World War II, he spent 11 years as a Linotype operator and proof reader at The Pueblo Chieftain. Rio Blanco Herald Times - June 5, 2003 - Robert J. Story died of lymphoma at the Colorado Veterans' Home in Homelake, near Monte Vista, on Friday, May 30, 2003. He was born in 1909. Bob was a long-time employee of the Meeker Herald. He was an infantryman in the Seventh Division and fought under General Patton from Africa to Austria. The Seventh Division was one of the longest in combat service of any American unit in any war. Among his military decorations is the Purple Heart. Bob was active in the American Legion and in Masonic bodies in Meeker. He is survived by his daughter Karin Kruger of Oklahoma City. There will be cremation. Services in July, both at St. James Church and a military burial service, will be announced later. Meeker Mortuary will be in charge of the arrangements and a more complete obituary will be published at a later date.

Stovall, Dusty Dusty Stovall - Colorado Springs Gazette - April 29, 1999 - Body of Woman Identified as Pueblo Mother of Four - The partially clad female body found off Colorado Highway 24 near Cascade on Tuesday has been identified as Dusty Lorne Thomas, 29, of Pueblo. The mother of four young children, Thomas, also known as Dusty Stovall, was last seen March 30, said El Paso County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Ken Hilte. She was reported missing April 5. The body was found about 40 feet down an embankment by four teen-agers who were having a snowball fight. An identification was made using fingerprints. Though investigators are calling Thomas' death suspicious, the cause and time of her death will not be known until the county coroner completes an autopsy, possibly today, Hilte said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 520-7155 or 520-7111. Colorado Springs Gazette - April 30, 1999 - Pueblo Woman a Homicide Victim - Body Found Near Cascade Reveals Bullet Wound - The death of a woman whose body was found near the town of Cascade this week was ruled a homicide Thursday. An autopsy revealed that Dusty Lorne Thomas, 29, of Pueblo, died of a single gunshot wound in the back, said El Paso County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Ken Hilte. Four teens who were having a snowball fight found the partially clothed, decomposed body Tuesday in a wooded area about 70 feet down an embankment off U.S. Highway 24. Identification was made by comparing fingerprints. Detectives would say little about how Thomas was killed because the investigation is ongoing, but they believe she was shot elsewhere and dumped where snow and a remote location would hide the crime indefinitely, said Lt. Joe Breister, who heads the major crimes unit. The cold weather made it difficult for investigators to determine exactly how long Thomas' body went undetected. Investigators returned to Pueblo on Thursday afternoon to question Thomas' acquaintances and family about the hours before she disappeared. "She has a real large family, and we've questioned everyone but don't have any promising leads," Breister said. Thomas was reported missing to Pueblo police April 5, but she was last seen March 30, Breister said. Lola Penny plastered pictures of her missing granddaughter on light poles and in windows of businesses in Pueblo looking for leads, Breister said. "It was really uncommon for her to go five or six hours without contact," Breister said. Thomas was the mother of four young children, ages 5, 8, 9 and 10. They lived with Penny, who is now raising the youngsters. Anyone with information is asked to call the El Paso County Sheriff's Office at 520-7155 or 520-7111. Stovall, John Richard John Richard Dick Stovall - Pueblo Chieftain - April 19, 2012 - John Richard Dick Stovall died peacefully in his sleep April 14, 2012, in Pueblo. He was born in Swallows, Colo., on Sept. 29, 1921, and lived here most of his life. Dick was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving in WWII, and graduated from the University of Colorado in 1948 with an electrical engineering degree. Mr. Stovall is survived by sons, Fred and Patrick Stovall; daughters, Susan Turowsky and Linda Stovall; stepdaughter, Sandra (Bill) Yalotz; seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren with another on the way in September. Cremation. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, 2012, in the Davis Memorial Chapel. Stover, Alice M. Alice M. Stover - Pueblo Chieftain - March 28, 2013 - Alice M.

Interment will follow at the Mountainview Cemetery in Manzanola. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the First Christian Church of Manzanola. Stovik, Louis C. Reverend Louis C. Stovik - Colorado Springs Gazette - August 8, 1996 - 2 Priests Slain in Pueblo - Bodies Found Inside Rectory - Pueblo - Two priests were found slain Wednesday night in a church rectory on the city's east side. When one of the priests did not show up at an evening engagement, a friend went to the rectory of St. Leander's at about 6:15 p.m. and found the victims in separate rooms, according to Charlene Graham, deputy chief of the Pueblo Police Department. The priests were identified by Coroner Jim Kramer as the Rev. Tom Sheets and the Rev. Louis Stovick. Both suffered "multiple trauma" to the torso, but police would not be specific. The men were last seen about 3 p.m. by clerical workers. Graham said nothing appeared to be stolen. A crowd of about 100 mourners milled outside the church early into this morning, consoling one another and reciting the rosary. A 3-foot framed painting of Jesus was propped against a tree, surrounded by candles. Terri Brelsford, a 15-year member of the church, said "Father Tom," as he was known, helped her nephews get a seminary scholarhship. "I don't know what our church is going to do without them (the two priests)." Colorado Springs Gazette - August 9, 1996 - Parishioner Arrested in Slaying of Priests - Pueblo Police Still Seeking Motive in Deadly Attack - Pueblo - As scores of St. Leander Church members prayed over candelight Thursday for the souls of two priests who were slain Wednesday, police arrested a 20-year-old parishioner and jailed him on suspicion of committing the crimes. Police took Douglas James Comiskey into custody Thursday evening and booked him into Pueblo County Jail on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder. Comiskey is a member of St. Leander, a parish of about 1,500 working-class, mostly Hispanic families on Pueblo's east side, said Pueblo Police Chief Ruben Archuleta. Archuleta said investigators still do not know what motivated the attack in which the Rev. Louis Stovik, 77, and Rev. Thomas Scheets, 65, were killed. Scheets had been pastor of St. Leander Catholic Church since 1990, and Stovik was a retired priest who had lived at the church rectory for three years. Deputy Coroner Kim Wittrup said both men had been stabbed in the torso, but Archuleta would not say if a weapon had been recovered. The bloodied bodies of the two men were found in separate rooms of the rectory Wednesday at about 6:15 p.m. by the Rev. William Powers, a fellow priest who stopped by to check in on his friends. Archuleta said physical evidence at the crime scene led them to investigate Comiskey. He declined to describe the evidence. Late Thursday, police literally swarmed over a house near the church, climbing onto the roof, taking pictures and measurements and repeatedly entering and leaving. Comiskey lived with his mother in the house, owned by his grandmother. Detectives also spent late Wednesday and all day Thursday combing every inch of the two-story, blondbrick rectory for blood, fingerprints, hair and other clues. Colorado Bureau of Investigation officers also worked the scene. Officers did find a trail of blood drops leading from the front door of the rectory - which is behind the church and faces north - leading to Risley Middle School to the west. All day Thursday, police had said next to nothing about the investigation. Archuleta said detectives were pursuing a "good lead," but did not elaborate. Then, at 7 p.m., Archuleta announced police would make an arrest within the next couple of hours. "We felt the anxiety in the neighborhood," the chief said. "We wanted them to know we're on top of this. We want to ease the fears in the community. This is still a very safe community." Applause erupted among the 100 or so people gathered outside the yellow police tape surrounding the church and rectory when news of the impending arrest reached them. "They have to answer to the man upstairs. When they do that, they're in trouble," said Robert Lopez, 24, raised from childhood in the St. Leander parish community. Before the arrest, police gathered some of the 54 priests of the Pueblo Diocese at a secret location to discuss their safety. "We have no idea of the motive," Archuleta said at the time, "so we assume other priests could be a target." As news of the slayings spread late Wednesday and early Thursday, hundreds of people assembled an impromptu shrine outside the church. People lined up in the nearby Safeway to buy candles, which were placed along the sidewalk next to St. Leander, along with pictures of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, flowers and a red rose surrounded by blue tissue paper and the single word: "Why?" On the front door of the church, a sign read: "No daily Mass until further notice." Arthur Tafoya, bishop of the Pueblo Diocese, said there would be a Sunday Mass. The diocese had no information about a memorial service or funeral arrangements. Ten Catholic Social Service counselors set up a crisis counseling center in the church gym, where they met with at least 200 people. At noon, about 25 mourners said the Rosary in the sweltering sun in the middle of Seventh Street outside the church. Meanwhile, downtown at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Tafoya led the noon Mass for about 100 people. Two candles glowed on the altar, and many wept as the bishop spoke about Scheets and Stovik. "These men gave their lives to build the Church of God," Tafoya said. Tafoya urged prayers for the slain priests, their families and friends, the parishioners of St. Leander - and the suspected killer. "We must pray for the person or persons who committed this traumatic crime," he said. "May they also know God's love and God's mercy." As investigators continued tight-lipped with their grim work, parishioners, friends and relatives of the slain priests poured out their anguish. "I'm like a fish out of water," the Rev. Powers said Thursday from the living room of his home just a block away from St. Leander. "I've lost my best friend." Both priests had deep ties to the community. Each worked closely on the Catholic High Initiative - a push to get a Catholic high school in Pueblo. Those who knew Scheets said he reached out to younger people, even to the point of wearing a leather jacket, boots and a wallet chain. "Father Tom would give his arm for anyone," said Carlos Arguello, 17, at student at Centennial High in Pueblo. "It's sad to see two good priests go." Stovik was described as a man who held fast to deep Catholic traditions. "He was stern but gentle," said Jeff Moore, whose children were baptized by Stovik. "He was just like a parent. He would tell you what you did wrong, why and then how to fix it." Stovik had just retired from the administrative end of church business. Even so, those who knew him said Stovik would get up at 5:30 a.m. every day to deliver Communion to the sick. And every evening after dinner, he would walk the church parking lot - kicking rocks off it so people wouldn't trip over them. "He would always give me hell for not going to church," Moore said. "He was ornery, but he was the nicest man in the world you'd ever wanted to meet." Many others, including brothers of Scheets, said the priests often would open their door to beggars asking for money or food. "He was a kind and gentle person," said Sam Scheets, brother of Thomas and an employee of the Illinois Department of Public Aid. "I know he was quite often approached by poor people and the homeless and he helped them. It's very shocking." The Rev. Francis Kelley Scheets of All Saints Parish in New York City flew to Pueblo on Thursday after hearing about his brother. "He never turned anyone away," Francis said of his brother. And that, Bishop Tafoya said, might have led Stovik and Scheets to the fateful encounter. "In our violent society, clergy and religious are no longer exempt," Tafoya said. "These men dedicated their lives in the service of the Catholic Church. Sadly, they died while still carrying out their priestly ministry." Brothers In The Cloth - The two Catholic priests slain in Pueblo were raised by hard-working, lower middle class families who were devoutly Catholic, family members said Thursday during telephone interviews. And both had brothers who became Catholic priests. "I've lost a good friend," said Sam Scheets, a younger brother of the Rev. Thomas Scheets. "It's very shocking. I'm upset that he was taken like this." The Rev. Thomas Scheets - The Rev. Thomas Scheets was born March 10, 1931, in Aurora, Ill. He was one of four brothers, said Sam Scheets, 61. The Scheets boys were raised in Minneapolis; their father worked in a flour mill, and their mother was a homemaker. Thomas Scheets followed the footsteps of an older brother, Francis, who is also a priest, Sam Scheets said from his home in Jacksonville, Ill. The brothers attended seminary in Indiana while they were in high school, said Sam Scheets. Thomas Scheets was ordained on May 26, 1956, in Fort Wayne, Ind. He came to Colorado in 1975 as an associate pastor at La Junta Catholic Parish. The following includes highlights of his career, according to the Diocese of Pueblo: Appointed pastor, St. Leander Parish in Pueblo, July 1990; Appointed pastor, La Junta Catholic Parish in La Junta, July 1981; Appointed co-pastor of St. Michael Parish in Delta and St. Philip Mission in Cedaredge, June 1980; Appointed associate pastor, St. Michael Parish in Delta, August 1978. He also served on several diocese boards, including the Clergy Benefit Society Board, Diocese of Pueblo Salary Structure and Policy Committee and Finance Advisory Council. He also was a liaison for the bishop for several parishes in southeastern Colorado near La Junta. The Rev. Louis Stovik - The Rev. Louis Stovik was born Sept. 5, 1918, in Curlew, a small town in Ferry County, Wash. He was one of 11 children - 10 boys and one girl - said his brother, Conrad Stovik, 88, during a telephone conversation from his home in Washington state. The children were raised in a rural area, where their parents were cattle ranchers, Conrad Stovik said. The family was devoutly Catholic and attended Mass regularly, said Conrad Stovik, a retired sawmill worker. Four of the brothers became priests, said Conrad Stovik. Louis Stovik was ordained on June 11, 1949, in Fargo, N.D. He came to Colorado after being appointed assistant pastor for St. Columba Parish in Durango in July 1949, according to the Diocese of Pueblo. The following includes highlights of his career, according to the Diocese of Pueblo: Named diocesan chaplain, for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, 1988; Appointed pastor, St. Therese Parish in Vineland, July 1983; Appointed associate pastor, Christ the King Parish in Pueblo, August 1972; Appointed chaplain, Sacred Heart Orphanage and director of athletics at Pueblo Catholic High School, 1953. The Rev. Stovik held numerous other positions at several parishes, schools and hospitals. Picture caption: Sadie Martinez, left, grandmother of slaying suspect Douglas Comiskey, was planning to dine with the Rev. Thomas Scheets on Wednesday, the same day the priest was found dead, along with the Rev. Louis Stovik, at Pueblo's St. Leander rectory. Martinez, who worked in the rectory for 20 years, is hugged Thursday by fellow parishioner Leroy Garcia hours before it was announced her grandson was a suspect. Colorado Springs Gazette - August 10, 1996 - Pueblo Slayings Suspect Had History of Instability - Preliminary Report Finds Two Priests Bled to Death From Multiple Wounds - Pueblo - The man accused of slaying two St. Leander priests led a troubled life checkered with criminal activity, drugs and mental problems. But those who knew 20-year-old Douglas James Comiskey couldn't fathom him committing the crimes police suspect he carried out. "I've known Doug since he was a baby," said neighbor Jean Gonzalez. "This is sad, very sad. I feel sad for Doug." Comiskey faces two first-degree murder charges in the Wednesday deaths of the Rev. Thomas Scheets, 65, and the Rev. Louis Stovik, 77, both who lived in the rectory of the eastside church. Comiskey remained in the Pueblo County Jail without bail on Friday. No motive has emerged, as Comiskey refused to talk to investigators, said Pueblo Police Chief Ruben Archuleta. Investigators and attorneys surrounding the case were tight-lipped Friday. Police investigators believe Comiskey went into the priests' two-story home behind the church sometime Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. William Powers, who lives nearby, discovered Scheets' bloody body lying face down in the living room. He said he found Stovik, who had suffered a head wound, in an office in the back of the rectory. Comiskey was arrested Thursday night - 28 hours after the bodies were discovered. An autopsy showed both men bled to death from multiple puncture wounds, said Sgt. Dave Santos, the deputy county coroner. He said a pathologist's report, still to be completed, may determine the weapon and the number of wounds. Comiskey waived a hearing advising him of his rights Friday, shortly after being assigned to public defender Doug Wilson. Wilson successfully helped defend Eugene Baylis, who faced numerous felony charges in the 1993 shooting death of two Colorado Springs bar patrons. Tenth Judicial District Attorney Gus Sandstrom asked for Comiskey's file in this case to be sealed, and District Judge Eugene Halaas agreed. Halaas went a step further and slapped a gag order on everyone involved in the case. Neighbors, former classmates and past co-workers describe Comiskey as an unemployed high-school dropout trying to rebound from bouts with drugs, crime and mental problems. Comiskey - known in the neighborhood as "Dougie" - had returned in January after a month long stay in a Denver hospital psychiatric ward. It was the culmination of what appeared to be a troubled few years. In August 1993, Comiskey was present when two friends were hit by gunfire from an Uzi assault rifle, according to published reports. Then in March 1995, he stole his mother's television set and jewelry from her home - after he had been evicted - and hawked them at a neighborhood pawn shop, earlier court documents state. He later admitted the crime, as well as telling police he started drinking alcohol when he was 16 years old and using marijuana when he was 17. The 6-foot, brown-eyed man, who loved to shoot hoops with neighborhood children, lived with his grandmother and his mother in a cream-colored bungalow across the street from St. Leander. Gonzalez, 49, has lived across from the church - and two doors down from Comiskey - for 30 years. Gonzalez said her 15-year-old son, Rafael, would often play basketball with Comiskey. She remembers Comiskey helping set up for the church carnival just last month. The manager of a Pueblo Hardees fast-food restaurant offered Comiskey a job once he was released from the hospital, but he refused because he told her he was on anti-depressant medication. "He was never violent with any of the kids," Gonzalez said. "He was the furthest person in my mind who would do anything to a priest." Comiskey also volunteered for the Boys Club, which met at the St. Leander Gym. Boys Club officials had "no comment" on his work there. "He was a nice kid," Gonzalez said. "He was pretty wild back then, but when he came back from Denver he was reversed. Like a totally different kid." Gonzalez said the change was most evident in his eyes. "His eyes were real funny," she said. "Glaring, looking eyes." Although his parents, Pat and Georgia Comiskey, divorced when he was a child, Comiskey grew up surrounded by the unyielding love of Sadie Martinez, his 84-year-old grandmother who spent two decades cooking and cleaning inside the rectory. Because of Martinez - whom neighbors described as "The Walking Saint" - the church was a part of his life from the beginning. The morning after the killings, Martinez joined mourners in front of the rectory, remembering fondly the two priests to whom she made daily visits. "I don't think she knew," said Marie Labo, 72, a longtime friend. "She was such a lovable woman." Both Martinez and Georgia Comiskey were staying at an undisclosed location on Friday and couldn't be reached for comment. Like many youths in the neighborhood, Comiskey attended East High School. Several former classmates said they most remember his action on the soccer field. In the 1992 yearbook, Comiskey is pictured on both the varsity and junior varsity soccer teams. Comiskey, who has a sister and brother, also was an avid basketball player. "He would walk in front of the house alone or with another boy, bouncing a ball," said Bob Lopez, a 63-year-old neighbor. "He would say `hi' but that was about it." Comiskey is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 19. Funeral services for the priests are tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m. on Monday at the Colorado State Fairgrounds. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 11, 1996 - A Call For Forgiveness - Hundreds Congregate in Pueblo to Grieve and Pray for Slain Priests - Pueblo - They came to pray for the ones who had once led them in prayer. The grieving parishioners filed into St. Leander - 350 strong - genuflected, and slowly filled the wooden pews of the 71-year-old church. The weight of grief pushed down as they gathered Saturday for the first time in many years without their leaders - the Revs. Thomas Scheets, 65, and Louis Stovik, 77. The priests were slain Wednesday just beyond the wall behind the church altar. A parishioner, 20-year-old Douglas James Comiskey, faces two first-degree murder charges in their deaths. It still seems like a bad dream, said John Arguello, 60. It seems like I'm going to walk back in there, and they'll be standing there. To those who attend St. Leander, the church in this close-knit, mostly Hispanic neighborhood is more than bricks and mortar. It is their rock, a gathering place for 1,500 families who attend services. They are a family. And Saturday night, the leaders of the Diocese of Pueblo challenged this family to perform what most would consider a Herculean task: Forgive the killer. What do we pray in the 'Our Father' - Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, Bishop Arthur Tafoya told the parishioners. If you find it hard to forgive, look at the cross with Jesus Christ and his hands outstretched, Tafoya said. The whole world was against him, yelling 'crucify him.' And what did he say: 'Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.' He touched my life in several ways, Dorothy Lopez, 44, said of Father Tom. This leaves a big hole in my life. Scheets had buried Lopez's husband, married her daughter and baptized her son and granddaughter. Many residents say the church is the focal point of this lower-income neighborhood. Students from nearby Risley Middle School attended classes in the church while the school was closed for chemical contamination last spring. Children can often be found playing basketball in the gym - part of a Catholic grade school that closed in the early 1970s. Boys Club members also gather at the gym, which until recently also was the site of weekly bingo games. And every year, residents congregate in the church lot for a fund-raising carnival. That doesn't include all the families who gather for Masses, weddings, funerals, baptisms and first communions. It seems as though someone is always around, said Jean Gonzalez, 49, who has lived across the street from the church for 30 years. We are united regardless of what has happened, said Arguello, a 46-year parishioner. We are one big family. The day after the priests' bodies were discovered, Bishop Tafoya asked people to pray for the person responsible. Tafoya said Saturday he plans to send District Attorney Gus Sandstrom a letter, urging him not to seek the death penalty in the case. The death penalty is not the way to go, he said. That is using violence with violence. I know people are angry, said the Rev. Edward Nunez. But they need to forgive and move on. Nunez, now vicar general for the diocese, accepted his first assignment as pastor of St. Leander in 1975. He stayed in that role for four years. It is important because now is really a time for the community to practice what it preaches, Nunez said. It's what Christ would have done. This is all part of loving your neighbor as yourself. Crisis counselor Frank Dunn sat in the St. Leander gym all day Friday to talk to parishioners. Anger is a natural part of grieving, he said. Without it, the healing can't completely occur, Dunn said. But Dunn acknowledged that finding forgiveness in their hearts will be difficult for some people. The community needs to come together and talk and share their grief, he said. They need to share their faith and stand together. Bob Lopez, 63, also lives near the church. He knows forgiveness would be the Christlike thing to do, but he's not sure it's possible for him. Father Tom was not only my spiritual leader, he was my friend. Lopez's neighbor, Jeff Moore, enjoyed a close relationship with Stovik. The retired priest baptized both his children. What (the killer) did was flat out wrong. He will pay for that come judgment day, Moore said. I'm angry, you bet. Something was taken from me Priests are supposed to stand for all that's good in the human race. To have that thrown away doesn't make sense. Forgiveness? I may be able to forgive the person, but I cannot forgive the act, Moore said. There could be many who feel as Moore does, but Dorothy Lopez feels sure she knew her priest's heart. I do know Father Tom would have forgiven. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 13, 1996 - Saying Goodbye - Pueblo Gathers to Mourn Slain Priests - Pueblo - Heather and Samantha Corral, 12 and 8, came to the Colorado State Fairgrounds on Monday dressed in their Sunday best - frilly dresses and fancy bows - to say goodbye to the priest who had baptized them. The two pretty, dark-eyed girls were joined at the Events Center by 3,800 other people from every neighborhood of this close-knit town, a community that takes family and faith seriously. They came to the indoor arena to celebrate the lives of two Roman Catholic priests - the Revs. Thomas Scheets and Louis C. Stovik - who were stabbed to death in their rectory Wednesday. They came to find solace and strength in the ancient rituals of a Catholic Mass, a ceremony presided over this day by five bishops and an arch bishop, all dressed in cream-colored vestments. But vestments, rituals and liturgy meant little to Heather and Samantha. They just know Father Tom won't be there to greet them at the Spanish-speaking Mass at St. Leander Church on the city's east side. They're really upset about it. They cried for days, said the girls' mother, Sharon, who herself grew up two blocks from the church and remains a volunteer there. They don't want to go to Mass because Father Tom is not going to be there to greet them. He used to tell them he was proud of them for getting up early for the 8 o'clock Mass. But their father, Henry, said, It's reality. They're going to have to deal with it. That's something the city of Pueblo will have to do, too, said usher and Knights of Columbus member Gilbert Pacheco. I think in the long run, the killings are going to unite the community. Something good is going to come out of it. Salesman Jinks Chavez, who is not Catholic but who came to the Mass out of respect, said the packed service itself shows how special his city is, a city where extended family ties link neighborhoods and classes. It's brought the community together, he said. I'm sure people of all faiths are here. We always got along pretty good, but this has brought us even closer together. Across town and four days removed from the anguish, grief and anger that poured out of the community on news of the slayings, the eastside neighborhood surrounding the church was back to normal. Last week was pure hell - not knowing who's who, or who's supposed to be here and who's not. This is how it's supposed to be, said Irene Moore, who lives directly across from the front door of St. Leander. People I've never seen before were standing in front of the church for hours, trying to keep candles lit in the wind, said Irene's husband, Jeff. The Moores opted not to attend the services at the State Fairgrounds; they wanted a break from crowds. I took a ride out to the cemetery, said Irene Moore. Father Scheets is just 11 plots away from my grandmother. I didn't want to see the bodies; I wanted to remember them alive, added her husband. Sadie Martinez, the grandmother of the 20-year-old man suspected in the killings, Douglas Comiskey, attended the funeral with her family. The neighborhood is really worried about her. We hope she has the strength to get through this, said Jeff Moore. At the same time Mass was taking place at the State Fairgrounds, business carried on as usual downtown. But there were some indications the city is still grappling with a return to normality. Sophista Kats Inc., a women's apparel store on Main Street, posted the sign Closed Today in Memory of the Rev. Thomas Scheets and the Rev. Louis Stovik. May They Rest in Peace. In the B & A Bootery, on Main Street, employees Phil Vigil and John Rivera considered what kind of toll the tragedy would take on the community. The wound is never going to completely heal, said Vigil. People will mourn, but life must go on. We can't let this hold the community back, you've got to forgive. The neighborhood's been somber and quiet, but it will come back probably stronger than ever. Many people said they would try to heed the advice of Bishop Arthur Tafoya, who said during the service, In our tragedy, we must learn to love and forgive. But that doesn't mean they'll forget - especially Father Tom, who topped off his all-black wardrobe with a black motorcycle jacket. I told him he looked like a biker - all he needed was a motorcycle, said Henry Corral. It's going to be hard to find someone to replace him, said Sharon Corral. Everyone was so used to his ways, his laughter, his jokes. He always made jokes. Stovik was cut from a stricter, sterner cloth. Bishop Tafoya told mourners that where Father Tom would give him a quick hug and run off to other duties, Father Stovik would look at me and proceed to give me some advice. After the standing-room only Mass, about 200 friends, family members and priests drove to Roselawn Cemetery where Scheets was to be buried. (Stovik will be buried in North Dakota.) Among those saying goodbye was the Rev. Ron Roache. He said the priests who rode to the cemetery together in a bus were talking about how Father Tom would have reacted to the solemn Mass said for him and Stovik. He would have said 'Enough! Enough! Enough!' said Roache. Father Tom was known for his short funerals. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 17, 1996 - Suspect in Priests' Slayings Arrested at Medical Clinic - Pueblo - The suspect in the slayings of two Catholic priests was arrested at a clinic where he had gone to have a cut finger treated, the Pueblo Chieftain reported Friday. The Chieftain said sources told the newspaper 20-year-old Douglas Comiskey was arrested at the Family Medical Center. By coincidence, that is where Pueblo Coroner James Kramer works as a physician's assistant. Kramer is in charge of the autopsies being performed on the Rev. Thomas Scheets, 65, who was pastor of St. Leander Catholic Church, and the Rev. Louis Stovik, 77, a retired priest who lived with Scheets in the parish rectory. Authorities said the men bled to death in the rectory from stab wounds Aug. 7. Comiskey was arrested Aug. 9 and is being held without bond on two counts of first-degree murder. A gag order has been imposed in the case, so information about his arrest and the evidence that led to it are under seal. The Chieftain said it has learned police were alerted to Comiskey through a Family Medical Center staffer who suspected Comiskey might be involved in the priests' deaths. Medical personnel became suspicious when Comiskey told them he had injured his hand by slamming it in a car door, then said he did not recall how he hurt his hand, the Chieftain said. A center staffer called police, according to the newspaper. The Chieftain said its sources reported that Comiskey was accompanied by his mother Thursday morning when he sought medical attention for the cut. When he was arrested, he had a bandaged hand. Pueblo Police Chief Ruben Archuleta confirmed that Comiskey was brought in willingly from there when we started to follow up some leads. Comiskey's first court appearance is Monday in Pueblo District Court, where the judge will review whether bond should be set and schedule further court dates. Colorado Springs Gazette - August 22, 1996 - Priest Slaying Suspect Sought Care, Paper Says - Pueblo - Less than two weeks before he was charged with the slayings of two Catholic priests, the 20-year-old suspect sought psychiatric treatment, according to a newspaper report. The Pueblo Chieftain said in its Wednesday edition that sources said Douglas James Comiskey and his mother went to the emergency room at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital in late July. He was examined by the psychiatrist on duty, who recommended that he be hospitalized, but Comiskey refused hospitalization, the Chieftain reported. Comiskey has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of the Revs. Thomas Scheets, 65, and Louis Stovik, 77. Comiskey lived across the street from the St. Leander Church rectory where they were found dead Aug. 7. Comiskey was arrested the next day at the Family Medical Center when he sought medical treatment for cuts on his hands, the Chieftain reported. Records in the case have been sealed and officials have been ordered not to talk about the case. The Chieftain said the nature of the problem that brought Comiskey to the hospital emergency room before the slayings was not known. Bill Bush, St. Mary-Corwin Hospital's outgoing administrator, would not discuss Comiskey's appearance in the emergency room. Strachan, Duane Scott Duane Scott Strachan - Pueblo Chieftain - March 30, 2012 - Duane Scott Strachan, beloved son, brother, uncle, father and grandfather, died unexpectedly in his home on March 21, 2012. He was 64 years old. Duane was born in Fort Collins, Colo., on Sept. 3, 1947, to Edwin Duane Strachan and Nina Lynn Scott and grew up in Pueblo, Colo. He graduated in 1965 from Centennial High School in Pueblo, where he was active in academics and athletics. His primary love, though, was music. Taking after his father, Duane played the horn (he would never forgive us if we referred to his instrument as the French horn) and was the drum major for both the high school and Pride City marching bands. After high school, Duane attended Colorado State College (now UNC), where he majored in music education with horn as his major instrument. In addition to symphonic winds and orchestra, he repeated his run as drum major at CSC during his junior and senior years. He graduated in 1969. Duane served as a music teacher in the Plainview, Weld County and Jefferson County school districts until 1980. After teaching, Duane moved on to a successful career in sales and marketing, spending the most time with Larson Distributing and the Boyd Corp. Most recently, he enjoyed operating a bus for RTD's Boulder District. Duane is survived by his father, E. Duane Strachan; his children, Kelly (Richard) Denning and Eric (Jennifer) Strachan; and his beloved grandchildren, Chloe Denning and Oliver and Elliott Strachan. Duane also is survived by his two brothers, Doug and John Strachan; and his nieces, Brittany, Lara, Ida, Siri and Mia, whom he loved so much. All those who knew him loved his infectious laugh, smile and continuous jokes. He was an incredible father who gave everything he had to his children. His wisdom, love, strength and guidance created the foundation for us to succeed in our own lives and as families. Duane will be missed; our hearts are broken that we have to live without him. Service will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 1, at Columbine United Church in Littleton, Colo. To celebrate his life, please do something wonderful for someone every chance you have just as he did.

Stradjet, Joe Joe Stradjet - 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. Strah, Phyllis Phyllis Strah - Pueblo Chieftain - June 18, 2014 - Phyllis Strah, 97, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2014, in her home with her family by her side.

He received his law degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Mr. Strain married Helen May Frye, his high school sweetheart, June 19, 1940, in La Junta, and enjoyed 68 years of marriage before her death in April 2009. During World War II, Mr. Strain was a Special Agent for the FBI serving in Detroit, Buffalo, N.Y., Louisville, Ky., New York and Washington. He was active, throughout his life, in the Ex-FBI Agents Association. Following his FBI service, he and Helen returned to their hometown of La Junta, where he practiced law, became a prosecutor, judge and father of four children. After enjoying a summer cabin in Beulah Valley for many years, George and Helen moved to Beulah in 1992, and became full-time residents, while remaining closely connected to La Junta through family and friends. Mr. Strain was an active member of the Colorado bar for more than 60 years. He first practiced law with Marion F. Miller and Harry Allen, two La Junta pioneers. Their original firm was known as Miller, Allen and Strain, with offices on the second floor of the Lamb Building on Santa Fe Avenue, which still stands across the street from the Otero County Courthouse. Over the years, the firm evolved to Allen & Strain and then to Strain & Kolomitz. Throughout his career, his clients appreciated his wise and practical advice. Early in his career, Mr. Strain became a prosecutor and later served as District Attorney for Bent, Crowley and Otero Counties, and president of the Colorado District Attorney's Association. In 1976, Mr. Strain was appointed as the Otero County Judge, where he served until his retirement in 1988. He then served as senior judge, presiding in courts across the state of Colorado, a role he very much enjoyed. Always an advocate for Southeastern Colorado, Mr. Strain was most proud of his role in the creation of the 16th Judicial District. In 1953, he was instrumental in convincing the Colorado General Assembly of the need for a new Judicial District for Bent, Crowley and Otero counties. Prior to this time, the three counties were part of the 10th Judicial District in Pueblo County. After intense and sustained efforts, the creation of the 16th Judicial District was authorized giving the citizens of Bent, Crowley and Otero their own Judicial District.

Stransky, Bess Bess Stransky - Huerfano World - June 19, 2014 - Bess Stransky, October 3, 1922 - April 27, 2014 - Some Lessons My Mother Taught Me Be inquisitive about all things surrounding you. Explore different cultures, viewpoints and do not be afraid to ask questions. Respect nature and all of her wonders and resources Get your hands dirty. A little dirt, sweat, or grease will not kill you. Learning to plant, chop, push, pull, mow, or repair equals self-reliance. How to deliver a joke and get the punchline correct. Laughter, especially at oneself, is priceless. Keep things simple. (A warm bath and a good night's sleep will help solve a lot of problems.) Clean up your own messes. This lesson could encompass everything from taking your dirty dishes to the sink, to paying off your debts. Go rest high on that mountain, Mom.

Strawn, Antonio Angel Antonio Angel Strawn - Pueblo Chieftain - December 17, 2011 - Mother gets bail reduced - The mother of a 5-month-old boy who police say was killed by his father saw her bail on separate charges reduced Thursday. Brandi Strawn is scheduled to enter a plea next month on charges of theft and providing false information to a pawnbroker. She is not charged in the death of her child. District Judge David Crockenberg reduced her bail to a $10,000 personal recognizance bond Thursday. Strawn was booked on suspicion of theft and providing false information to a pawnbroker on Nov. 29, the same day Anthony Angel, 23, the father of her baby Antonio, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder. The theft charges stem from a cross-city trek police claim the couple made with the boy trying to sell gold nuggets and then cash the check issued to them for the proceeds. Investigators believe the nuggets were stolen from Strawn's neighbor. Police also believe that Angel abused his son some time after he split from Strawn that day. Antonio Angel was removed from life support Nov. 21. Doctors determined he died from an acute brain injury. Angel's case is ongoing. Pueblo Chieftain - January 20, 2012 - Mother of slain infant pleads to theft - The mother of a 5-month-old boy who was killed in November pleaded guilty in her theft case. Brandi Strawn, 22, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of theft in exchange for the dismissal of a charge of providing false information to a pawnbroker. District Judge David Crockenberg sentenced Strawn to one year of probation and required she complete 50 hours of community service. She is also required to undergo a mental health evaluation. Strawn was arrested shortly before her son, Antonio Angel, died at Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora. She is not charged in connection with the infant's death. Police believe Antonio died as a result of child abuse inflicted by his father Anthony Angel, 23, who is charged with first-degree murder. The infant died the same day Strawn pawned a gold nugget allegedly stolen from a neighbor. On Thursday, Strawn's attorney Michael Gartner, told the court the theft happened in a moment of desperation. Strawn told police she was trying to get enough money for an apartment with running water.

Jack was a life-long rancher and a consummate advocate for agriculture. He served many years on Soil Conservation District boards, was a member of Farm Bureau and the Cattlemen's Association his entire adult life, serving in leadership roles in all of those organizations. Jack attended Colorado A & M (now Colorado State University) in Ft. Collins, majoring in Agronomy. His passion was the proper management and care of the land and the improvement and care of his cattle. Jack was an early breeder of Scottish Highland cattle, starting in 1956, and initiated various crossbreeding programs in search of better beef and efficient natural production. He served as National President of the American Highland Breeders Association, and was instrumental in opening up the National Western Stock Show to breeds other than the standard three English breeds. At National Western Stock Show, his cattle won the carcass contest 11 times with Scottish Highland and Highland-cross cattle. For his contribution to the industry, he was awarded a Life Member status of the National Western Stock Show. As one of the foremost authorities on the Scottish Highland breed, Jack was highly sought after to judge many livestock shows throughout the United States and internationally in Canada and Scotland, where he had audience with Queen Elizabeth II after unknowingly selecting one of her heifers as Grand Champion. Once retired from active ranching, Jack entered into a successful career as a Real Estate Broker with his son John, focusing on agricultural properties.

He served many years as Sunday School Superintendent at Last Chance Methodist Church, and as Chairman of the Administrative Board of United Church in Walsenburg. He provided leadership and Christian witness to all who knew him. His 68-year loving marriage to Marjie was an inspiration. His family was most important to him; he nurtured and guided them, and served as an example of a faith-based life well-lived. He was always a man of principle who served others through his hard work and steadfast beliefs. He readily accepted the responsibility and challenge of being a man of God.

Studzinski, Julius Julius Studzinski - Central City Daily Register-Call - February 28, 1881 - Julius Studzinski, a prominent citizen of Pueblo, died in that city Friday last. His remains were buried yesterday, under the auspices of the order of Odd Fellows, of which he was an honored member. Studzinski, Laura Laura Studzinski Pueblo Chieftain November 24, 1919 The many friends of Mrs. M. Studzinski, wife of Mayor Studzinski, will regret to learn that Mrs. Studzinski is at St. Mary's Hospital quite seriously sick with heart trouble. Pueblo Chieftain November 29, 1919 Wife of Mayor Studzinski Dies; Was Pueblo Pioneer It will be with sincere feelings of regret and sorrow that the people of Pueblo will read this morning of the death of Mrs. Laura Studzinski, beloved wife of Mayor M. Studzinski, of this city, her passing away having occurred at 12:10 yesterday afternoon at St. Mary's Hospital, where she had been taken a week ago Wednesday suffering from high blood pressure and heart trouble; it being hoped by her husband, the members of her family and the attending physicians that complete quiet and rest and the best possible care would benefit her. And while she seemed to rally under the treatment and careful nursing, it was only temporary and there was never any feeling among those familiar with the condition of the patient that there was much hope for her ultimate recovery. Mrs. Studzinski was a patient sufferer and did not fear to go, but like every loving wife and mother she did not want to leave behind her husband and children bereft of her ministering care and thought; though wintertime came and the Master called her, she passed peacefully and quietly away, commending her loved ones to the care of Him who has always been a source of comfort to her. Mrs. Laura Studzinski was a woman honored and loved devotedly by her husband and family, and highly esteemed and respected by the men and women of Pueblo who had the good fortune to know her. She was a woman of high ideals and led an exemplary home and church life, being a member of the congregation of Temple Emanuel, a life that could not fail to commend her to all who came in contact with her. She was one of those sweet, gentle women who to know is to love and honor. She was very charitable and warm-hearted and many a poor soul who she has unostentatiously helped and blessed by her comforting words, will mourn her taking away as the loss of one who cannot be replaced. She was a sincere, steadfast, courageous, helpful friend, and as a neighbor she was loved and esteemed by all alike. Her death will leave a vacancy in the neighborhood where she has lived so long that no one else can fill, and this entire community, where Mr. Studzinski has lived for 46 years, will feel a distinct sense of loss at her taking away, and the warm-hearted sympathy of all will be extended the bereaved husband and sons in the great loss that has come to them. Deceased was 64 years of age at the time of her death and had resided in Pueblo for 46 years. It was here that she became the wife of Mr. Studzinski, and it was here that she lived and reared her family and made an ideal home for her husband and children. She leaves her husband and 2 sons, Charles Studzinski, a prominent attorney of New York City, and Clarence Studzinski, building inspector of Pueblo, to mourn her loss, the only daughter of the family having passed away several years ago. Mrs. Studzinski also left 4 grandchildren, 3 grandsons, and one granddaughter to mourn the loss of a grandmother's never-failing love. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Rose Lehman, of Des Moines, Iowa, and was a sister of the late Mrs. I. Freund of this city and a brother of the late A. Heitler of Trinidad, all at one time well and favorably known in this community. Two nephews, Charles and Louis Freund, of this city, also survive the deceased. The body is being cared for at the family home, 616 W. 10th St., by the McCarthy Undertaking Company, and the funeral announcement will not be made until it is known just when Mr. Charles Studzinski will reach the city.

Her sister, Gretchen Casner mourns her deeply and is being fully supported by Dorothy's family and her own. They were very close, visiting often even after they were ill and speaking almost daily. Dorothy lived most of her life in Springfield, where she raised her family and managed several businesses including the Springfield Department Store and the local office of Heritage Savings and Loan. In her later years, she lived with her son, Don outside of Strasburg. Her friendships were enormously important to her. Once made, she committed to them for life and they to her, with ongoing mutual support. Dorothy was an active leader, serving on the Southern Colorado Economic Development board with Henry D. Williams of Pueblo, among others; and the Victims Compensation Board for the State of Colorado. She actively developed affordable senior housing in several Southeastern Colorado communities. In a 2006 letter from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, the director said, You have always had the wonder-filled and kindness-laced approach to the residents of Springfield West Working with you, I felt that we were on the same side looking for solutions. And look at what we accomplished: one success after another. She was an accomplished bridge player and craftsman. As her sister Gretchen has often said, My sister can do anything. Woodwork, knitting, fixing bicycles and cooking were just a few of the skills where she excelled. She was elegant and stylish, quick witted and capable, but most notably, she had a magnetic personality, bringing joy to everyone around her. Even as she became increasingly ill, she gave comfort to others and issued common sense wit and wisdom. She died the way she lived, independent and strong, surrounded by adoring and lively supporters. Dorothy donated her body to the University of Colorado Medical Sciences Center for use in science and education. The family wishes everyone in Colorado to know that the CU Medical Sciences Center has been completely respectful, professional and grateful.

Bob grew up playing baseball in Brooklyn, and eventually became a pitcher in the minor leagues for the former Brooklyn Dodgers, which originally brought him and his family to Pueblo in 1950, where he would pitch for the Pueblo Dodgers at Runyon Field. After retiring from baseball, he worked as a weapons inspector at the former Pueblo Army Depot and eventually moved his growing family to Rocky Ford where he continued to be involved with coaching local baseball teams and was instrumental in planning the building of the Babcock Park in Rocky Ford. In 1975, he moved his family overseas to Germany and worked there in civil service for many years until his retirement as a quality assurance inspector. In 1998, he and his wife, Betty, returned to Pueblo to enjoy their retirement years. Ever the avid sports fan, he actively supported local baseball and softball programs throughout his life and often worked tirelessly to promote and further the sport for younger generations. Baseball was the centerpiece of his life to the end, and though humble about his "celebrity" as a minor league pitcher, through the years many enjoyed the interesting stories he willingly shared from his baseball experiences as well as the knowledge he was able to pass along about the game. He was a kind and generous man who always tried to help others before himself. His family will always remember him fondly as the "Big Swede."

She has been a great inspiration to her family and friends, doing so, while having fun with them dressing for the occasion, playing kickball and jumping on trampolines, riding four-wheelers, fishing, shooting paper wads through a straw, having water gun or ice fights and sometimes chasing a 6-foot-3-inch grandson through the house with a belt for his pranks. She did not have idle hands, as they always were busy crocheting, working in the yard or making 130-some ornaments for her family for the coming Christmas.

Swigle, Eda P. Eda P. Mongiat Swigle - Trinidad Times Independent - October 28, 2010 - This story is of Eda Swigle in obituary form - the perfect frame for the picture of a life. Confirmed Eda Perina Mongiat, she was daughter, sister, nurse, wife, aunt and friend. She was born Aug. 23, 1911, in Crested Butte. At a year old, her family moved to Delagua, an immigrant mining camp named Bear Canyon Mine. At six her family moved to Berwind, where she attended Corwin School in Tabasco, graduating as salutatorian in 1930. After high school Eda attended nurses training in Trinidad at Mt. San Rafael Hospital, where she graduated in June 1933. She did private-duty nursing, general nursing at the hospital, and public health nursing. I chose nursing, she said, because I loved it, all of it. She worked in obstetrics/gynecology, surgical, emergency room and did not like one area more than the other. She worked for local Trinidad physician Dr. James Donnelly for 26 years until his death. After that, she worked for Dr. Sally Fabec. Eda's knees gave out and she retired in March 2000. She stayed home after that until she moved to the Trinidad State Nursing Home. Eda was involved at its infancy in, what years later, became an immunization given today to women who miscarry. The shot is now given to RH negative mothers after their first miscarriage, which protects subsequent pregnancies with a high degree of efficiency. A Catholic Sister, who had just received training in the new area of blood types, asked Eda to draw her blood to practice identifying blood types. Eda's was RH negative. A second test confirmed the type. At the same time, Eda was caring for a woman who had already miscarried a number of times. The Sister tested the mother (RH negative) and father (RH positive) and at their next birth, Dr. Donnelly gave the premature infant donated RH positive blood. The baby improved quickly. Eda met her husband, John Swigle, before he left for WWII. John served in England and on D-Day, 6 June 1944, Normandy, France, a bomb exploded near him - throwing shrapnel into his body. He remained in England for a year's recovery and was discharged in September 1945. On returning to Trinidad, Eda and John began to see one another and they married Oct. 12, 1946, in the Chapel at the Mt. San Rafael Hospital. They lived at 108 Spruce with Eda's mother and sister. They purchased a home at 1314 Nevada December 1949. They lived there until John Swigle first, and then Eda moved to the Trinidad State Nursing Home. Preceding her in death are parents, Santa and Pietro Mongiat, husband John Swigle, sisters Mary (Guy) Montera, Amelia Vallar, Angelina Mongiat, nephews and nieces, John Montero, Frank Montera, Edith (Lee) Stancato, Rose (Joe) Marchiol, and Thelma Montera. Eda is survived by nephew Pete Montera, Trinidad, nieces, Angelina Montera, Pueblo, Josephine Montero, Trinidad, and numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, and friends, including Winnie Modica, Dr. Sally Fabec, Johan Sayre and Mary Jane Yhitcaga. We will remember Eda as 'the stern nurse' we came to appreciate, but feared at the time. She was there whenever called. She was strong in her passion for serving others. She witnessed birth and death, sometimes all in the same day. She was the rock at the base of the family, a wife and a friend. As she said: I got scared most of my time in nursing. I wanted to save everybody and was sad when I couldn't. Our memories of her are what will save us. Funeral Services were Friday, Oct. 29, 2010, with Rosary at Comi Funeral Home Chapel, followed by the Funeral Mass at 10:00 am at Holy Trinity Church. Interment followed at the Trinidad Catholic Cemetery. Active pallbearers are John Marchiol, Steve Marchiol, Eddie Griego, Jim Montoya, Paul Montera and Frank Montera Jr. Arrangements made under the direction of the Comi Funeral Home.
