This union brought together two families and blended them as one, which Linda was very proud of. Linda's first and foremost concern was for her family, friends, and kitties Saturn and Venus. She loved to have any and all of them at family gatherings, as she loved to cook for them, just DON'T be late for dinner! She loved to go on drives to look at God's creations; she was also fascinated by the night sky and spent a lot of time looking up at the nighttime heavens. Her other love and passion was reading, she considered the many books she acquired over the years her friends, and cherished every one of them. In her youth she was active in Job's Daughters and was Past Honored Queen of the Bethel in Colby KS. Her fraternal ties continued into her adulthood where she was President of B.P.O. Does, Gillette Drove No.223 in 1981, Worthy Matron of Gentian Chapter No. 23 Order of Eastern Star in 1986-87, and Queen of Sahida Temple No.86 Daughters of the Nile in 1991-92.

Wagner Pueblo Chieftain December 30, 1917 Pneumonia Is Fatal to Well-Known State Parole Officer William L. Wagner, state parole officer, died at 3 o'clock yesterday morning at a local hospital from pneumonia with which he was stricken on Christmas morning. He was taken to the hospital Friday morning when it was seen that the dread pneumonia was taking virulent form. Despite the utmost efforts of his physicians and nurses, he died within 24 hours after reaching the hospital. William L. Wagner was a unique character in many ways. More than 15 years ago he gave up a lucrative position as foreman of a crew in the furnace dept. at the steel plant, in order to devote his life to religious work. He was trained in the steel mills of Pa. and was in line for high promotion in his chosen work as he was an expert in the "cooking" department of the furnaces. His devout religious sentiments lost him his position at the plant as he gave up his position rather than work on Sunday during a rush of business. Many times he was offered employment at steel plants if he would agree to work on Sunday when the furnaces were in heat, and it was impossible to dispense with the services of the foreman on Sunday. He invariably declined to accept the terms. After severing his connection with the steel plant, he did our jobs, acting as custodian for the old Swift block for years until the block was destroyed by fire. His earnings went to a paroled prisoners and convicts who had served their terms. He was personally known to every prisoner who went through the Pueblo city and county jails and when they finished their terms at Canon City, they invariably sought out Wagner and received aid in obtaining honest employment. He represented the Colo. Prison Association for years. Each Sunday for 15 years or more he has conducted religious services at convict road camps, at the jails, and at the poor farm and each Christmas he has seen that every prisoner was remembered with some sort of Christmas gift. No weather was too severe for "Rev. Wagner" as he was known to "his boys," to pay his visits, making the rounds from the poor farm to the jails and thence to the road camps. He possessed an influence over the rough men whom he tried to help. It is claimed that no prisoner or convict ever told Wagner a lie or broke his promise to Wagner. A couple of years ago Warden Tynan named Wagner as state parole officer. The man followed the same method in handling convicts who had broken their parole and must be returned to prison, as he had followed in helping them to jobs and to better ways of living. He is said never to have handcuffed a prisoner and never to have had a man in his care make an attempt to escape. Warned repeatedly by his friends that his life would be forfeit to his trust in some convicts, the parole officer smiled away the doubts of his friends and continued to treat his prisoners and all convicts with trust and confidence. No prisoner was beyond the measure of Wagner's forgiveness nor unworthy of his confidence and trust. Despite his unique methods his success as a parole officer was marked. He could tap the underground wire through which prisoners in touch with the affairs of each other and could locate a prisoner who had broken parole, with unerring accuracy. Wagner was born in Rochester, N.Y., February 3, 1860. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Susan Wagner, who resides at 212 W. 6th St. He also has a brother and three sisters residing in Hamley, Pa. He was a member of St. Paul's M. E. Church and was widely known in the city. The body is at Davis & Vories and the funeral announcement will be made later. Pueblo Chieftain - January 2, 1918 - The funeral service of the late William L. Wagner will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Davis-Vories Chapel. Rev.

The matter has been reported to the police. Pueblo Chieftain January 3, 1918 The funeral of William L. Wagner, the state parole officer, who died last Saturday, was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Davis-Vories Chapel, and was attended by a large number of friends from this city and from Denver, Canon City, and Buena Vista. Rev. O. K. Maynard conducted the services, assisted by Rev. A. J. Waller and Mr. W. C. Collette, who is secretary of the prison reform association and all three paid glowing tributes to the deceased.

Chester and Mrs. T. H. Gilbert, accompanied by Miss Elva Hillhouse, sang "It Is Well With My Soul," "Saved By Grace," and "God Will Take Care of You." The pall bearers were C. E. Burrows, C. E.

The body is at the Whiton Mortuary and the funeral will be announced later. Walk, Adam Adam Walk - Pueblo Indicator - January 8, 1921 - Short Local Items - Adam Walk, another popular old timer of Pueblo, dating his residence back to 1881, died in this city the 6th inst., after a brief illness. He was prominent in lodge work and politics here. Walk, John M. Jr. John M. Walk Jr. - Pueblo Chieftain - January 29, 1919 - Switchman Killed in Collision of Switched Cars Near Depot - John M. Walk, 24 years old, a switchman for the Denver and Rio Grande railroad was killed when two cars on which he was riding collided with other cars with such force that Walk was crushed between the wreckage. Walk, who lived at 1137 Carteret Avenue, is survived by his wife and one child, also his parents and other relatives who live in the city. Two switch engines were at work in the railroad yards, and one of the engines was disposing of a string of cars. Walk, it is said, was riding on a caboose which was attached to a box car and when near a switch the car on which he was riding collided with a string of other cars with such terrific force that several cars were telescoped. Walk's body was badly crushed and he was hurried to St. Mary's Hospital where he died at 8:30 o'clock. The railroad officials are conducting an official investigation as to the probable cause of the accident. The body of Walk is at the Davis-Vories Undertaking parlors. Walk was reared in Pueblo and was well known and esteemed by all who knew him. Pueblo Chieftain - January 30, 1919 - Inquest Delayed - Inquest on the body of John M. Walk, the Rio Grande switchman, who was killed by being run over near the C. Street viaduct, was begun under the direction of Coroner Campbell at the Davis-Vories parlors yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The jury was empanelled and all was in readiness, when it was noted that the official stenographer was not present; efforts to locate him was unavailing, and the inquest was adjourned until 4 this afternoon. It is stated that thru some oversight the stenographer had not been notified of the date. Pueblo Chieftain January 31, 1919 Company Blamed for Death of Switchman Walk Tuesday "That the deceased John M. Walk, came to his death as a result of injuries received in a collision of two strings of cars in the yards of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad yards in the city of Pueblo, Tuesday morning, January 28, at 5:10 o'clock, due to inadequate rules of the railroad for the protection of switchmen, and to the building of tracks too close to obstructions." Above were the findings of Coroner Campbell's jury after a careful and painstaking inquiry into all phases of the accident yesterday afternoon. Undisputed evidence showed that the crew with which the deceased was at work was pushing a caboose and a coal car westward from below the Union Avenue viaduct, that Walk was riding on the side ladder of the coal car which was ahead of the caboose, and that he had to move to the front end of the car to keep from being struck by a pier of the viaduct which is too close to the track to clear a man on the side of a car; that the engine and cars were traveling westward at the rate of 5 miles an hour; that Walk, discovering the long string of cars coming toward him on the same track, with no one on the approaching end, signaled to stop the train, and his signal was repeated to the engineer by W. J. Bates, the other switchman who was riding on the caboose. Engineer Charles Worth stopped as quickly as possible, but it was just at the instant that the two trains came together. There were 37 cars in the string that collided with a string to which Walk belonged, and it was traveling about 6 miles an hour. Walk was found by his crew lying on his back on the floor of the coal car, which struck the one he was riding on; his right foot was completely severed at the ankle, the right arm was broken in two places, and other portions of the body were badly bruised and it is believed that serious internal injuries were also sustained. When his foreman, S. M. Custer reached him he said: "What's happened, Mart? I am hurting pretty badly." He was taken to a hospital and lived but about three hours. When first reached by his companions he was under the tailgate of the coal car, but was in the clear, and easily extracted. It was easy for his companions to see that he was fatally injured. Members of the crew with which Walk worked stated that it was a company rule to have a man on the end of every string of cars that was being pushed through the yards, but the rule was not always obeyed. Members of the other crew stated that it was neither customary or a rule to have a man in that position when in the yards making up trains if there were no crossings. The assistant superintendent of the road was called for to explain the meaning of Rule 102 regarding this point; he interpreted it to mean that it was not necessary in such cases as the one in hand to have a man on the head of the string being pushed into position desired. Witnesses examined were Dr. Luke McLean who performed the autopsy; W. J. Bates, switchman of the crew with which the deceased was employed; S. M. Custer, foreman of the same crew; Charles Worth, engineer of this crew; John Grogan, switchman on the other string; Frank M. Naughton, foreman of the latter crew; C. J. Shotwell, also switchman of the latter crew. Messrs. Bates and Custer were recalled and asked further questions by Deputy District Attorney Taylor and members of the jury. Adam Walk, an uncle of the deceased, stated last evening that for three generations the Walks have been railroad men, and though there had been some almost miraculous escapes, this was the first fatality in the family due to accident.

Walker, Cleda Hamlin Cleda Hamlin Walker - Trinidad Times - November 13, 2006 - Cleda Hamlin Walker said goodbye to this earth, her family and dear friends on November 8, 2006 to be with her Lord and her husband John Ralph Walker. She was born in Ludlow, Colorado, in 1916, shortly after the Ludlow Massacre. Her father, Guy Hamlin, was a section foreman for the C&S Railroad, so the family lived in two box cars which the railroad supplied for their housing adjacent to the railroad tracks. At age 13 she broke her leg and the "medicine" of the times was unable to ever properly fix the fractures. After being set in the sun for "sun treatments" and weights being hung off the end of her bed to straighten her leg, the "professionals" of the time decided she was to be in a thigh-to-foot homespun steel brace for the rest of her life. This, however, never slowed her will to be "normal". After graduating from Trinidad High School, she attended Colorado University in Boulder, but the love of her life persuaded her to marry him and they loved each other for the next 44 years, until Ralph's death in 1978. Along their journey of marriage they experienced many tough times with the Depression and World War II, but they also had many wonderful times. They had a son in 1936 and named him Ralph Dowell Walker. Eleven years later, after the war, they had their second son, Dwayne G. Walker. Cleda's life revolved around these three men, her husband and sons. She truly believed they could do no wrong and was forever at their sides in times of need. She lost her husband in 1978 and her eldest son in 1994. She loved to dance (steel brace and all), loved her many dogs over the years, and was an extremely kind, generous, grace-filled loving lady to all with whom she came in contact; especially her 8 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and two special daughters-in-law, Cathy Walker of Sharon Springs, Kansas and Lori Walker of Loveland, Colorado. She was very intelligent, quick-witted, and could find the good in everyone. At just 5 feet in height and weighing near 100 pounds or less all her life, she possessed the heart of a locomotive. She was the first women ever hired by the Denver Post Office and persevered down many a rough road with smiles, hugs and hope for all. Though she has left to be with the Lord (who we are sure is saying "job well done", she will always be loved and her smile with those very, very special eyes will never be forgotten. Services will be held on Friday, November 17th at 2:00 p.m. in Trinidad, Colorado at the Mullare-Murphy Funeral Home. Interment will be in the Trinidad Masonic Cemetery at the side of her husband and surrounded by her brothers and parents. Local arrangements in Loveland are with Fred Fishburn of Kibbey-Fishburn.

Walker - Weekly Rocky Mountain News - August 11, 1898 - Brief Telegraphic News - Tuesday - L. W. Walker of Pueblo, one of the commissioners of the State Insane asylum was accidentally shot and killed near La Veta. Note: There is an L. W. Walker buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado, who died on July 8, 1898. Walker, Leona Irene Leona Irene Walker - Pueblo Chieftain - November 9, 1917 - Two Negro Women Lured into Alley and Murdered Crime Discovered by Party Who Falls over One Dead Body - Lured into an alley in the rear of the Tom Protho Negro rooming house at 188 Central Main St., Irene Walker, 20 mullato girl from Denver, and Willie McKenzie, 21 mullato, mother of two children, residing at 217 W. 4th St. were shot to death at 9 o'clock last night. The murderer made his escape and left no clue. The Walker girl has been visiting Willie McKenzie for the past three weeks. The two women and a third woman whose name has not been learned by the police, made their home together at the Fourth Street residence. They were not employed so far as known. At 7:30 o'clock last night Willie McKenzie and Irene Walker went for the usual evening walk through the side streets adjoining the business district. At 9 o'clock last night, a roomer at the Protho house stumbled over the dead body of Willie McKenzie on the sidewalk in front of the Protho house at 118 Central Main. The police and coroner were at once notified and went to the spot where the body was still lying. A crowd of Negroes had congregated and it was stated that the McKenzie woman had been seen a few minutes before in the company of another woman. A search for the other woman was begun. A trail of blood could be followed by the lights of lanterns from the sidewalk where the McKenzie woman was found around the side of the Protho house to the alley. Near the alley in a vacant lot on a pile of tin cans, the body of the Walker girl was found. Evidently the McKenzie woman had dragged herself from the alley to the sidewalk before dying from loss of blood. The remarkable part of the affair is that she was shot directly through the heart, the bullet being a 32 caliber. The Walker woman had been shot four times, once through the right leg above the ankle, once through the left collarbone, once through the right- hand at the base of the little finger, and once through the top of the head, the last shot, shattering the skull and apparently had been fired after the woman was prostrate on the ground. The wounds were apparently made by a 32 caliber bullet. A pool of blood in the alley showed where the McKenzie woman had fallen after being shot, and from this spot the blood trail led from the alley to the sidewalk. Negro admirers of the Walker woman and friends of both women, told a story last night of an undersized white man, probably a Mexican, but at any rate a foreigner, who had followed the Walker girl here from Denver, and who was said to be desperately in love with the negress. He is alleged to have spent yesterday afternoon at the Fourth Street residence of the woman and to have left about 6 o'clock in anger because the Walker girl had invited a Negro admirer to supper. When the two negresses left their home at 7:30 they were said to be in unusually high spirits, although it is denied that they were drinking. Nobody could be found by the police who heard the shots fired when the women were killed. Dr. Ray Taylor, the corner, stated that the women could not have been dead more than a half an hour before their bodies were found. There were a number of people at the Protho rooming house when the double murder must have occurred. The McKenzie woman who is also known as Willie Mitchell has a baby girl seven months old and a boy five years old who are being cared for by her mother, Mrs. Lena Mitchell, who resides in the Grove. The mother of Willie McKenzie called at the Davis & Vories mortuary last night and viewed her daughter's body. She could give no clue as to the murderer, but expressed an opinion that the murderer was after the Walker girl and had shot Willie McKinsey to cover his identity or because he was in a frenzy and happen to meet the two negresses together. A razor was found concealed in the clothing of Willie McKenzie when the body was dressed at the undertaking parlors. The Walker girl was unarmed. Coroner Ray Taylor will hold an inquest over the bodies, probably on Saturday. The police have but little to work on in the case, which might lead to the possible unearthing of the murderer or murderers. Chief Daly came to headquarters and was on the scene of the murder. In company with Night Captain, Jack Sinclair, he conducted a personal investigation into the crime. Up to a late hour last night, no arrests have been made in connection with the case. The mysterious manner in which the women were killed leads the police to believe that the element of cunning and crafting which entered into the murder was not the planning of the brain of a Negro. Pueblo Chieftain - November 10, 1917 - The remains of Leona Irene Walker and Mrs. Willie McKinsey are being held at the Davis & Vories Mortuary where an inquest will be conducted Monday afternoon by Coroner Ray Taylor. Pueblo Chieftain - November 10, 1917 - A. A. Adams, Negro, 40 years old, was arrested by patrolman Windsor and Friend last night in connection with the murder of Willie MacKenzie and Irene Walker, Negro women, Thursday night. The police detectives were searching for Adams, yesterday on a clue picked up by Detective W. W. Green, but Adams could not be located last night. He was arrested by the patrolman on his way home at 104 Summit St. He is tabbed at police headquarters, "hold for investigation." The police, it is stated, do not think that Adams committed the double murder, but they have gathered information about the affair which indicates that Adams may be able to give information that will aid in the capture of the murderer, if he can be induced to talk. The task of getting Adams to reveal all he knows about the killing will be taken up by Chief Daly this morning. The police are investigating a theory of revenge as a motive for the double murder committed in the alley in the rear of the Protho Negro rooming house at 188 Central Main St. less than two blocks from police headquarters. Willie Mackenzie recently gained notoriety when she reported to the police and sheriffs' departments that John Richardson, a Negro steelworker with whom she had been living, had made a confession of murder to her. According to her story which was partially corroborated by her mother, Richard confessed to killing an Italian workman who was found dead inside the steelworks enclosure several months ago. The Italian's head had been crushed. According to the Mackenzie woman, Richardson told her he had killed the Italian and had taken the money belt found on the victim's body from which Richardson was alleged to have obtained $600. Richardson was arrested by the police and later turned over to the county authorities. The case was investigated, but aside from the purported confession made to Willie MacKenzie, there was no evidence against Richardson and he was released about three weeks ago. He left for Mexico and has written several letters to the MacKenzie woman begging her to join him in his new home, to bring their baby, a girl seven months old, and to start life over again by getting married. The letters found by the police in a search of the MacKenzie girl's Fourth Street home, apparently indicated that Richardson had forgiven the girl for her attempt to get him into trouble on the murder charge. Despite his protestations of love, the girl was afraid of him and declined to join him in the Mexican city where he was making his home and working as a minor. Letters had been received from Richardson up to a few days ago. The police are investigating as to whether or not Richardson is still in Mexico. It is thought to be hardly likely that he could pay a visit to this city without meeting some person who knew him as he is widely known here among the Negro residents. The undersized foreigner who was at the Mackenzie girl's home Thursday afternoon to call on the Walker woman, and who followed Irene Walker here from Denver cannot be located. He is known to the parents of the Walker girl in Denver and they have been asked to give his name and address to the police. The police of Denver have also been furnished with a description of the man and asked to pick him up.

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

Ward, Sandy Sandy Ward Pueblo Chieftain June 14, 1918 Sandy Ward, Pueblo Soldier; Suicides As Transport Leaves The last man aboard his ship in the harbor of the Atlantic port, Sandy Ward, a Negro soldier from Pueblo, created a sensation on June 10 when he shot a bullet through his head and fell dead as he stepped on the ship. A long telegram was received yesterday by Mrs. William Greer, aunt of the soldier, in which the death Ward was announced. Previous to the receipt of the telegram he and tab received several letters in which despondency was expressed and Mrs. Grier states that worry over the submarine invasion of American waters and the fact that he was being sent to France, seemed to weigh heavily on his mind. The Army officials gave no explanation as to a possible cause for suicide. They stated that Ward was the last man in a long line of troops to board the ship. The hour for saline was at hand and without the slightest warning despondency soldier drew his pistol and shot himself through the head. Death was instantaneous. The body was returned to the port and will be shipped to Pueblo. Ward was a member of the 166th Depot Battalion, Co. 146. He was born in Tennessee, but came to this city 18 years ago.

Ward was only recently arrested in Pueblo on a charge of desertion. He was caught in the kitchen of a rooming house conducted by colored people on S. Main St. The arrest was made March 4 by Sgt. W. J. Elliott and Officer McClannahan of the Pueblo Police Department just at the time when Sandy was telling his friends goodbye. The arrest was made at the instance of the local exemption board of needles, Calif., by which board Ward had been declared a deserter, and who ordered him taken to the nearest military station and turned over to the military authorities as a willful deserter. The order of the needles, Calif., board was carried out by the Pueblo Police Department, and Sgt. Elliott took Ward to Fort Logan March 9 and delivered him to the commanding officer. Ward said at the time of his arrest that if the officers had not surprised him when they did that he would never have been taken by them. Only a few weeks prior to his arrest on the desertion charge Ward had escaped from Officer McClannahan while the latter had Ward locked up in the patrol station box at Northern and Abriendo Avenues. Ward was known to the police as the most fleet footed Negro in Pueblo, and at police station last night it was stated that at one time or another during his career here Sandy had escaped from nearly every police officer in Pueblo. It was often said at police station that of Sandy got a two-foot head-start of an officer, the foot racing Negro was at least temporarily sure of his freedom.

Wardwell, Gertrude Zell Gertrude Zell Wardwell - Pueblo Chieftain - March 20, 2011 - Gertrude Zell Wardwell passed away on March 5, 2011. Known as Trudy to her family and friends, she was born in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1937 to Postmaster Robert H. and Gladys Knowles Wardwell, a piano teacher and concert performer. Trudy attended Colorado Springs High School, Mills and Whitworth Colleges to name a few. She received her BA in English from the latter in 1962. Trudy married Eugene Cordova in 1953, and had two children, Cathryn Jean Cordova-Garbers (Ward) of Rye, Colo., and Robert Carl Cordova (Lori) of Visalia, Calif., who survive her. Her adult grandchildren number five. She also is survived by her brother, Robert H. Wardwell (Naeda) of Colorado Springs. Her many interests led her to several careers, among which were her favorite as a kindergarten teacher and least favorite as a real estate broker. When she retired from that job in 1981, she left California and moved home to Colorado to a 71-acre homestead ranch in Westcliffe, with her beloved animals. Living in a old log cabin in dense woods and taking care of horses, summer cows and donkeys, to name a few, she penned a column for the weekly newspaper. It was called, "Meanwhile Back at Three Creeks Ranch," about all of the wildlife. When her health failed, she moved to Pueblo, Colo., with her Chihuahua, Tico, Pomeranian, Pumpkin and cat, Rikki. She fell in love with the little town on the prairie with its ethnic mix of open and friendly people. It reminded her of the once small prairie town of Colorado Springs where she'd grown up. The only regret she had about joining her Lord was having to leave her children and beloved pets behind but she firmly believed they'd all be reunited one day. You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you they will be there long before any of us. Robert Louis Stevenson. Ms. Wardwell's remains have been cremated and she asked that no service be held; attending funerals always left her sad.

Warner, Marcos Marcos "Mark" Warner - Durango Herald - September 10, 2004 - No matter where he lived, Durango always felt like his hometown to Marcos Louis "Mark" Warner, 56, who died on Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2004, at his home in Edina, Minn. The cause of death was cancer. Mr. Warner was born on May 5, 1948, in Philadelphia, Pa., to Dr. Arthur and Natalie Warner. The Warner family lived in Durango from 1957 to 1965, where Dr. Warner was the director of the San Juan Basin Health Clinic (now San Juan Basin Health Department). They were active in the First United Methodist Church and the Democratic Party, and Dr. Warner was also a member of the Early Bird Toastmasters Club. The family moved to Denver when Mr. Warner was a junior in high school. He graduated from Lakewood High School and went on to get his bachelor's degree in sociology and psychology from the University of Colorado in Denver in 1974. Mr. Warner later received his master's degree in education from Antioch University. He married Carilee Witta on June 5, 1981, in Colorado Springs. "He always believed that people came from a good place," she said. "He was very disappointed when people were not honest or honorable." Mr. Warner was involved in the administration of nonprofit community development and the creation of affordable housing. "He was driven to create affordable housing," said his wife. "He was a project junkie and loved doing the deal. He probably could have made a lot of money in the private sector, but it was more important to him to find homes for families." When the family lived in Colorado, he was the president of the state chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, an organization he was involved with throughout his career. "He was very curious and always wanted to learn about the latest technology and computers," said his wife, Carilee Witta Warner. "He wasn't a computer nerd, though."

Please take note: Eureka Lodge No. 2 F&AM (PHA). Pueblo Chieftain - January 17, 2002 - Local Children's Advocate Dies Retired Pueblo Army Depot foreman Lud E. Washington died Monday. He didn't quite make it to the 88th birthday he would have celebrated on Wednesday or the 50th anniversary of marriage to his wife, Marguerite. But his son, Kenneth Washington, a local contractor and associate pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, and stepdaughter, Patti Hester of Las Vegas, said their father reached his goals of raising his own children and other needy children, along with broadening opportunities for blacks. Washington helped his wife run the all-black Lincoln Home in its final years, 1950 to 1963. The home served "old folks" as well as children. Hester said the Washington family lived at the Lincoln Home. Sometimes, she said, the arrangement caused hard feelings because the Washington children didn't want to share their parents. In his later years, Washington talked about the need for children to have role models and showing them how to live with honesty and integrity. He used his skills at playing football, basketball and baseball to communicate those messages to the orphanage children. "Those things were passed on to the children, including myself, even though I didn't understand it at the time, Kenneth said. Lud Washington was the first black foreman at Pueblo Army Depot, a supervisor's job he earned by passing a government training course. "He opened the doors for many blacks who later followed and became division supervisors and what have you, said Hester. In the late '40s, Washington and the late Linc Wilson led Pueblo's first, and perhaps only, all-black Boy Scout troop. The men were prohibited from working with Scouts of other races, Washington's children recalled. There were nine Scouts in the group. Several became prominent, including Bob Hawkins, superintendent of the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo; the Rev. Orval Miles of Pueblo and Boston physician Joseph K. Hurd. Hawkins said Washington was "committed to having an opportunity for young blacks to have a Boy Scout experience. Whether it was true or not, the perception was we weren't entirely welcomed by the other troops. Hawkins recalled Washington encouraging each boy to "work hard to achieve your goals, and the importance of staying in school and not dropping out. Kenneth Washington and Hester said their father had lived his advice. He excelled as a running back on Kansas football fields, both in high school and as a college freshman. He did so despite, and partially because of, the hostility he felt from peers, said his son. The pros started to recruit Washington but rejected him, according to his children, mainly because blacks then didn't have fan appeal. Hester added that her father, a lifelong "sports nut who always lamented having "bad knees, followed the Los Angeles Lakers, the St. Louis Rams and the St. Louis Cardinals to his last days. Washington also is survived by two other stepchildren, Shirlea Neal and Prentis Vanduvall of Denver. Services are scheduled for noon today at First AME Church, 613 W.

Watkins, Sallie Ann (Dr.)(Sister) Dr. Sallie Ann Watkins - Pueblo Chieftain - December 27, 2011 - Dr. Sallie Ann Watkins. Longtime education advocate Dr. Sallie Ann Watkins, of Pueblo West, Colo., died Dec. 21, 2011, of natural causes. She was 89. Watkins was a professor at the University of Southern Colorado (now Colorado State University-Pueblo), retiring as dean of the College of Science and Mathematics in 1989. After her retirement, she helped to establish a scholarship for physics majors at the university. Watkins received the Outstanding Service to the University Award in 2000 and was a member of the university's Honor Roll of Donors and the President's Club, acknowledging donors who have given $1,000 or more. CSU-Pueblo biology professor Jack Seilheimer remembers Watkins as someone who had always been loyal to CSU-Pueblo. Watkins was born June 27, 1922, in Jacksonville, Fla., the daughter of Howard Rice Watkins and Mary O'Brien Watkins. She was the oldest of three siblings. In a 2003 article published in The Pueblo Chieftain, Watkins told reporter Peter Roper, During my youth, becoming a nun was one of the few ways that society encouraged young women into a career of service. Watkins graduated from Norte Dame College in 1946 and became a chemistry teacher at Norte Dame Academy in Cleveland, Ohio. She earned her doctorate in physics from Catholic University in 1958. In a recent edition of a Notre Dame College alumni publication, one of Watkins' students, Mary Kay Kemenway, a 1965 graduate of the college, was recognized for receiving the 2009 Education Prize from the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., for leadership and dedication to astronomy education. In accepting the honor, Kemenway expressed appreciation to Watkins, who was her undergraduate adviser. Watkins herself was also respected within the national science education community. In 2001, she received the Robert A. Milliken Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers for her lifetime contribution to teaching. She also served on the Governor's Science and Technology Advisory Council, the Governor's Math, Science, and Technology Commission, and the Colorado Teacher's Award Committee. Watkins was a lifelong advocate promoting the need to attract and keep women and minorities in the sciences. She directly oversaw the Pueblo Project, a program designed to improve science teaching and curriculum in Pueblo's District 60 schools. Watkins came to Pueblo in 1966, leaving her Cleveland convent with a group of 10 nuns who came to Pueblo to start the Community of Christian Service. Seilheimer said Watkins came to Pueblo along with other members of her order, and brothers Phillip and Daniel Berrigan, who were known for their involvement with the Vietnam War protest movement. It was through the Vietnam War protest movement that Sallie and I formed a bond of friendship, Seilheimer said. We gave many speeches and participated in marches. Watkins was active in numerous local charities, helping found the Girls Club, which later became part of the Boys and Girls Club of Pueblo. She also volunteered with the American Cancer Society, Business Women's Network Advisory Council, Colorado Association of Mental Health, Family Social Services, YWCA, St. John Neumann Catholic Schools, and Holy Family Church Parish Council. She was a wonderful person and did so many really good things, Seilheimer said. According to the 2003 Pueblo Chieftain article, Watkins was also the first Colorado member of the National Organization of Women and considered herself a feminist in pushing for equal treatment and access for women in political and economic life. Watkins is survived by her sister, Mary Jeanne Logan, of Canon City, Colo.; her nephew, Dennis Logan and his family of Canon City, Colo.; nephew, Kevin Logan, and his family of Auburn, Calif.; nephew, Mike Watkins of Los Angeles; and niece Cathleen Watkins, and her family, also of Glendale. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Howard Watkins, and the many pets that her family says she considered as her children. Memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 2, 2012, at St. Anne Church, 2701 E. 12th St. in Pueblo. Memorial contributions may be made in lieu of flowers to the CSU-Pueblo Foundation or the Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen. Pueblo Chieftain - December 28, 2011 - Sallie Watkins dies at age 89 - Local attorney John Keilbach recalls a conversation he once had where in one sentence he referred to "Dr. Watkins" and in another "Sister Sallie" and the woman to whom he was talking to asked, "Well is she a doctor or a sister?" "She's both, I told her." Keilbach and fellow members of St. Charles Catholic Community as well as retired and current educators at Colorado State University-Pueblo and a broad network of both religious and scientific colleagues are mourning the death last week of the nun and retired physics professor. Sallie Watkins, 89, died Dec. 21 after a few days in hospice care, having had to leave her longtime showpiece home that she shared with her sister, Jeanne Logan, in Pueblo West. Because of her concern about energy conservation long before it became a strong movement, the house was built to make use of passive solar energy and later had one of the first residential photovoltaic systems, years before there were generous rebates from power companies. Members of St. Charles Community, family and friends will gather at 10 a.m. Monday at St. Anne Church, 2701 E. 12th St., in Eastwood Heights for a memorial Mass to be celebrated by another of her longtime friends, Msgr. Leonard Racki. In 1946, Watkins, then-known as Sister Mary Howard, was hired to teach chemistry at Notre Dame Academy in Cleveland fresh out of college. She was drafted to teach a physics class and went on to earn a doctorate in physics. Her staunch support of the reforms of Vatican II, social issues and especially her support for increasing the role of women in the Catholic Church caused her and other nuns to move away from nuns' traditional convent life. They came to Pueblo and formed a new religious community, took back their birth names and left behind their black and white habits. Watkins took a job teaching at the university here and served as dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. All the while, she continued working in religious education, training the children of the families who were part of then-St. Anthony's Community for their first communion and confirmation, and working for social issues alongside the late Bishop Charles Buswell. The group was formed at the old St. Anthony's Church in the Grove neighborhood, where it housed the city's soup kitchen, and remained active as a real-estate-free congregation after the church was demolished. Watkins even lobbied to change the name of the community to St. Charles, settling on St. Charles Borromeo, as a way of honoring the retired prelate in his later years. She was one of the group's members who often would step up and preside at a Sunday communion service if a priest hadn't been scheduled for Mass, even though the late Rev. John Beno and Buswell himself were sitting out in the congregation, encouraging her to preach. As arthritis increasingly impacted her life in the past few years, Watkins had to give up her Prius and rely on other parishioners for a ride into town on Sunday mornings. She also was a longtime advocate of advancing education for girls. Watkins, who once lived in the projects off Prairie Avenue, was one of the founders of the Pueblo Girls Club, which now is part of the Boys & Girls Club. Watkins had been a strong supporter of the university and received a number of honors there. In 2001, she earned the Robert A. Milliken Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers for her lifetime contribution to teaching. Pueblo Chieftain - January 3, 2012 - Several Puebloans among noteworthy deaths in 2011 - Several noteworthy Puebloans passed away in 2011. Sister Sallie Watkins, prominent local educator and Catholic nun/social activist died at the age of 89. She held a doctorate degree in physics, formed a new religious community in Pueblo with several other nuns, each of whom took back their birth names and abandoned their black and white habits, and worked for equality of women and supported other issues. She was dean of the College of Science and Mathematics at Southern Colorado State College (now Colorado State University-Pueblo). In 2001, she earned the Robert A. Milliken Award from the American Association of Physics teachers for her lifetime contribution to teaching. Watkins, William S. William S. Watkins Pueblo Chieftain February 1, 1918 William S.

Watson, John Preston (Rev.) Rev. John Preston Watson Pueblo Chieftain June 22, 1918 Prominent Negro Minister Is Dead at Pueblo Home Rev. John Preston Watson, 73 years old, died from illness, at 4 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 1103 Palmer Ave. First pastor of the first African church erected in this city 28 years ago, one of the organizers of the colored orphanage and old folks home in this city, and noted later an educator among the colored people of this state, his death is sincerely regretted by those of his race who have known and admired him for years. He was one of the most prominent Negro ministers in the state. Born a slave at Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1845, Sold three times in childhood and brought to Marion County, Mo., before the war, the young Negro overcame all the handicaps of his youth, educated himself by hard study and in the prime of his young manhood he had the opportunity to fight for and help win his freedom. He attached himself to the staff of Capt. Thomas Gammon at the outbreak of the Civil War and served as an orderly to the captain during the war, often shouldering a gun and fighting side-by-side with the federal troops. Capt. Gammon is now at the Soldiers Home at Monte Vista and the esteem that existed between the captain and his orderly endured throughout their lives. Rev. Mr. Watson never formally enlisted in the service and hence never received a pension from the government, although he served three years and six months. But he was never in financial need, as he was thrifty and saved a competence out of his earnings. He owned his home in Pueblo and was prosperous. His mother died when he was four years old, and he leaves no relatives except his wife, to whom he was married at Hannibal, Mo., in 1870, 48 years ago. Rev. Mr. Watson and his wife had been connected with the colored orphanage since its organization and Rev. Mr. Watson was, during his residence here, pastor of both the African Methodist Episcopal churches here. He was superanuated four years ago but is a member of the national board of the church.

Pueblo Chieftain - June 18, 1917 - Unable to Locate Relatives, Acquaintances Will Bury Leonard C. Watson - There will be no drying of tear stained eyes, no sobbing of loving parent and fond friends this morning as a funeral procession wends its way out to Roselawn Cemetery - the resting place of Leonard C. Watson. Just a casual glance at the face mangled when a Colorado and Southern Railroad train was wrecked near Lime a week ago - or maybe a half hearted "too bad" as the pall bearers lower the casket. For Leonard C. Watson has no living relatives as far as Pueblo has been able to learn and those who attend the simple formalities - paying their last respects to the victim of the train wreck have known him but a matter of months. There was nothing on the man's body that gave a clew to his relatives. There were no letters from a waiting mother or father. Even his home is not known. A simple service will be held this morning in the Davis & Vories Chapel. Pueblo Chieftain - June 19, 1917 - The funeral of Leonard C. Watson was held yesterday morning at 11 o'clock from the Davis-Vories Chapel. Rev. W. M. Lenox conducted the services. Interment was in Roselawn Cemetery.

Wayt Pueblo Chieftain March 10, 1918 Train Strikes Automobile; Prominent Vineland Merchant Dies From Wounds C. D. Wayt Is Dead: Morris Pierce, Prominent Rancher Injured in Smashup near Divine Railroad Station Struck by Mo. Pacific Train A collision between a light automobile truck and the locomotive of a fast Mo. Pacific passenger train at Devine, a station on the Mo. Pacific railroad ten miles east of Pueblo at 3:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon resulted late last night in the death of Charles D. Wayt, Vineland merchant, and one of the most prominent residents of the Vineland region. Morris Pierce, a Vineland ranchman, son of A. R. Pierce of this city, who was riding with Wayt at the time of the accident, is at Minnequa hospital with a broken left forearm and severe scalp injuries. The automobile truck is a complete wreck. The two men had been to the Santa Fe Railroad station at Devine. They had come from Vineland. At Devine the tracks of the Mo. Pacific Railway and the Santa Fe Railway run parallel east and west and approximately sixty yards apart. The southernmost track is that of the Mo. Pacific. In order to reach the Santa Fe station it is necessary to cross the Mo. Pacific tracks. Wayt was driving the car, a light truck, and Pierce was riding with him. They had just left the Santa Fe station and turned their car around in order to return across the Mo. Pacific tracks to go to Vineland two miles distant. The view of the railroad tracks from the west is said to be obstructed by the sugar beet dump and the railroad station and other buildings. According to the statement made at Minnequa Hospital last evening by Morris Pierce, one of the victims of the accident, the automobile had just been turned around after the stop at the Santa Fe station and was advancing to cross the other tracks when, before either Wayt or Pierce realized the danger, the passenger train shot out from behind some buildings. It was too late to stop the automobile and it hit the locomotive at a point just beneath the cab on the firemen's side of the engine. The force of the impact with the fast-moving passenger locomotive hurled the automobile eastward along the right-of-way of the railroad. Other trucks of the train are thought also to have struck the automobile as the metal boxing of one of the trucks on one of the passenger coaches was broken off and laid beside the track near the scene of the wreck. Word of the accident was telephone to Pueblo and McCarthy's ambulance made an emergency run to the scene. Surgeons who had been notified also hastened by automobile to Devine and rendered temporary relief to the injured men, both of whom were rushed to hospitals in this city. Wayt's injuries resulted from his being hurled high in the air and striking on his head and one shoulder. His skull was split from front to back of the head, and it was necessary for the attending surgeons at St. Mary's Hospital to trepan the skull and remove many fragments of bone. The patient is said to have stood the operation quite well, but in spite of heroic measures taken to save his life Wayt died at 11 o'clock last night without regaining consciousness. Pierce was brought to the city and removed to Minnequa Hospital where his injuries were dressed and the fracture of the left forearm reduced. He is said to be resting easily, and to have suffered no internal injuries and his complete recovery is only a matter of a short time. The train which figured in the accident was the Mo. Pacific Pueblo-St. Louis Ltd. No. 12 leaving Pueblo at 3 p.m. and having no stop at Devine it usually passes that point at a high rate of speed. Wayt, whose age was about 48, had lived in the Vineland section of the county for about ten years, most of which time he had been in the mercantile business. He was married and the family consists of his widow and six children. The eldest, a daughter, attends school at Colorado Springs. The remaining children, five sons, reside at the family home in Vineland. Mrs. Wayt was with her husband at St. Mary's Hospital when death came. Pierce is 28 years of age and unmarried.

Wayt, the Vineland merchant who was accidentally killed in an automobile accident one week ago, took place yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Christian Church and was one of the largest held in the city. Over 1000 sorrowing friends and brothers in the Masonic fraternity passed in review before the flower laden casket. Rev. W. T. Hilton, assisted by Rev. G. H. Bassett, conducted an impressive service. Mrs. J. C. Hayes and Mrs. Si Shonsby, accompanied by Mrs. Louis Kunkel sang "Jesus Savior Pilot Me," "Come and Rest, Come and Rest." Mrs. W. T. Hilton rendered as a solo "The Home of the Soul." Several hundred people attended the funeral from the Vineland district. The floral offerings were extremely beautiful, mute testimonials of the esteem in which the people of Pueblo held the deceased.

Survived by her husband, four children, Frank, Harvey, Nellie, and Floyd, two brothers, L. L. Allgren, of Kenton, Okla. the body is at McMinn's parlors. The funeral announcement will be made later.

Mrs. William Young and Mrs. William Preston accompanied by Mrs. Wood sang "Sometime We'll Understand," "Beautiful Isle," and "Abide with Me."

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

A high school in Oklahoma, eight miles south of Elkhart, Kan., is named in honor of him.

Westfall Pueblo Chieftain December 6, 1918 Day's Casualty List: William C. Westfall, 216 W. 6th St., Pueblo, Colo. 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 as 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: William C. Westfall. Pueblo Chieftain November 11, 1919 Lest We Forget Pueblo's Dead Heroes While we Puebloans are celebrating the anniversary of the day that the German war machine admitted that it was defeated, let us not forget those of our number who gave their lives that the victory might be possible.

White, Asbury M. (Lieut.) Asbury M. White Pueblo Chieftain October 20, 1918 Lieut. Asbury M. White Dies of Pneumonia in France Lieut. Asbury M. White son of Asbury White of the White & Davis Store is dead of pneumonia in France, according to a telegram received by his father yesterday morning. Lieut. White was 26 years of age and had been in France about four weeks. He was connected with the Red Cross ambulance service. He was married and his wife is now residing in Calif. Ever since the United States entered the war, young White endeavored to get into the service. Owing to a physical defect he was rejected when he endeavored to enlist but finally, after much effort he was taken into the Red Cross service. He left Pueblo in August. The young lieutenant was a brilliant student and graduated with honors from the Centennial High School. He was honored with a scholarship to the agricultural college at Fort Collins. While in college he made a brilliant record as a student. The death of young White was a severe blow to the members of the family, also to his many friends in the city. Yesterday morning his father came to The Chieftain office and subscribed to The Chieftain to be sent to the Lieut. in France. A half hour later the order was canceled because Mr. White had just received the telegram telling of the son's death. Pueblo Chieftain October 23, 1918 Lieut. White Given Military Funeral by the Red Cross Asbury White has received a letter from the American Red Cross telling him of the death and burial of his son Lieut. Asbury M. White. He was buried with military honors and was attended by his many friends in the Red Cross work at the front. The writer of the letter was Pleasant Payten, Capt. of the Red Cross, and he speaks in glowing terms of the untiring efforts of the boy. He also included a letter which was written by Asbury himself, just one week before his death. He says in the letter that he had an awful cold but thought that he would be better in a few days. This is the last letter that he wrote. He was given the very best of care by the doctors and nurses but because of the over-work which he had been doing for some time, he was unable to overcome the effects of pneumonia. "American Red Cross, Evacuation Hospital No. 6, September 30, 1918. My Dear Mr. White: I have just returned from the funeral of your son Asbury, who died yesterday afternoon after eight days illness of pneumonia. He volunteered to leave Paris, and come up here to help with the canteens in hospitals back of the lines which we have been establishing to feed the wounded as they were brought in, and it was his hard and conscientious efforts to get the food and hot drinks to the men that led to exposure and overwork and brought on his illness. He made friends of everyone and we are all proud of him and the work he did. He died in a great cause and his effort was part of the great fight we are making to beat Germany. Asbury had every advantage Evacuation Hospital No. 6 could afford to help him recover. Two doctors and a special nurse took constant devoted care of him and made his illness as easy as possible. He never suffered from suffocation and died suddenly because his heart gave way under the strain. His funeral was conducted by two Red Cross chaplains, Rev. Dr. Stuart of the Episcopal Cathedral in Baltimore and Rev. Dr. Kelly. Services were held in one of the hospital barracks with his coffin before the altar and covered by the Stars & Stripes. A quartet of men trained by a friend of his, Mr. Humphries, of New York, sang "Nearer My God to Thee," "Abide with Me," and the chapel held a large group of nurses, officers, and men who had been his devoted friends. He was buried on a hillside next to the hospital with military honors and with the sound of the guns roaring in the distance. As Chief of the Red Cross in this district it gives me the deepest pleasure to be able to tell you what a splendid man your son was, how we valued his services, for his untiring energy and for the splendid way he adapted himself to circumstances and stood by us in this emergency. Please express to his mother and to his wife my sincerest sympathy on behalf of the American Red Cross. Very faithfully yours, Pleasant Payten, Capt. A. R. C. Last letter received from Asbury White, Jr.: September 22, 1918. Evac. Hospital No. 7, France. Dear Folks: For a few days I have been in the hospital myself with a heavy cold and no wonder since I have been so busy that from Tuesday until Friday I didn't have my clothes off. You see I have been running a canteen here at the gate of our hospital where we serve the dirty, muddy, tired soldiers passing through the station as well as into the hospital. One day two of us, pouring as fast as we could, served 800 men in 50 minutes. In one day we took care of 15,000 men. Working in warehouse by day and in the canteen by night was a full day's work every 24 hours I can assure you. Our organization, No. 7, is moving this week, and of course I must be up and away with them. I can't tell you where we are going, but it's in the general direction of Germany and nearer the fighting line. Don't try to send any Christmas presents. C'est de fendn (it is forbidden), but do write often and don't worry about me as I shall be up and at it again in a few days. The chaplain is writing for me and I am sending this through him. My affectionate greetings and good wishes. Lovingly yours, Asbury, Jr. 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.

James Pedlow, an officer who was one of the dearest friends of Lieut. Asbury White, Jr., who died from the effects of bronchial pneumonia in France on September 28. He says: "Dear Sir: it is with more than ordinary regret that I take this the first opportunity since the death of your son to send you full particulars of same. Soon after his arrival in Paris he was appointed to a very fine position in the service, but hearing there was a very urgent call for workers in canteens being established along the front, he at once volunteered his services. I was A. R. C. representative at Evacuation Hospital No. 7 and he was assigned bearer with chaplain White and Lieut. Harry Humphries. They built, opened and operated the canteen for some time and were dispensing 15 to 20,000 cups of cocoa per day, also cigarettes, cookies, chocolate, chewing gum, tobacco, writing paper, etc. All of which were very helpful and much appreciated by both wounded and soldiers on the March to and from the front. He was most loyal in his work in every respect. I tried to persuade him not to do any of the night work, but he insisted on doing his full share here. The weather as usual here, came in wet and cold, and I tried again to have him take more care but he felt he was fully able to do all kinds of work. About two weeks before his death he caught a cold but treated it lightly. The Saturday before, however, I took the doctor to see him at the canteen and insisted on his being ordered to bed. He had influenza. He was taken to the officers' ward and given every comfort and attention. A few days later, pneumonia developed and in spite of anything that could be done he died at 3:20 p.m. on September 29, 1918. "At first he complained that his cough hurt him across his stomach. That passed after a few days. I had every pneumonia expert in the two hospitals come to see him but they could not save him. I am glad to report truthfully that he did not seem to suffer any and three minutes before his death I gave him a glass of milk. He seemed just as usual when his heart just stopped beating and I thought at first he was asleep. "During his stay we had become fast friends, and he had requested that if I should be moved to another district that he might come with me. During his illness he seemed to want me with him and at the last I left him as little as possible. He spoke freely to me about his possibly not recovering, and was baptized by the chaplain. He spoke lovingly of his parents and his wife, and his request was that I should write you and that you would tell his wife as you saw fit. A cable was also sent to you which I presume you got. "His funeral was a soldier's, because he died a soldier's death. He lies beside an American aviator shot down the same day. They were buried together. We held service first in the chapel of the hospital. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Kelly both taking part. A special quartet of our men volunteered to sing and the hymns were, "Abide with Me," "Lead, Kindly Light," and "Nearer, My God to Thee." The coffin was draped with the Stars & Stripes and covered with floral pieces. I enclose a few which I took from them for you. At the grave another short service was held, and as we lowered his body there came a burst of sound from our guns at the front, as though to pay honor to a good and faithful soldier. (His affects will be forwarded from here as soon as possible to you. I collected them myself. "I want to say in conclusion that he had made many friends at the hospital amongst the doctors, nurses, and personnel. He was a constant help among the wounded. "As I have said, I feel his death as a great personal loss, as we had become fast friends. "My heart goes out to you, his mother, his wife, but I also want to say that you should think of him more in pride than sorrow. "He did the noblest thing a man could do. He gave his life for his country. If I am proud to have been his friend how much more so should you feel. "With every good wish for you and his family, and offering my services in any way possible, I remain yours sincerely, "James G. Pedlow, A. R. C., "Postal 731, A. P. O." Pueblo Chieftain January 1, 1919 Four of Pueblo's Red Cross Workers Died One Nurse Died When Hun Torpedo Sank Ship She Was Sailing On To France Died in Active Service: Asbury White, front line canteen work; Phoebe Allen, Ft. Slocum; Died en Route: Jane Minor Hendricks, in New York; Died on Torpedoed Hospital Ship Llandorf Castle: Mabel Macdiermid, June 7, 1918. Pueblo county has a notable record in its contribution to the working personnel under the Red Cross both at home and abroad. Before the participation of our country in active fighting, there were residents of the Sunshine county at work wearing the badge of mercy. But in the last twenty months, forty-one women and three men have been accepted by the Red Cross for work at home and abroad. It must not be forgotten that to be fit for such work, candidates must pass a strict, even severe, examination and appraisement of qualifications, physical, mental and moral. The term moral meaning more than mere rectitude of action, and carrying all that subtle power of inspiring courage, and manifesting unflinching devotion under any circumstances. It is the kind shown in an experience in France, when the Hun planes were bombarding a Red Cross hospital tent, and a patient just emerging from the daze of shell shock, heard the sound of nearing bombs, asked the nurse to sit near him while the raid was on. That she did, taking his hand and quietly singing the while. But one of the murderous missiles found the tent, burst so near as to destroy the refuge, killed the nurse, but in one of those strange happenings of war, the patient came thru without a wound, to tell the story of the untrembling courage and heartening, the Red Cross nurse carried up to the very crash of death. The location of these nurses and other workers is given from the last information at hand in the local office. A few are known to be in the service but not where they are at work. Those who were sent to cantonments in this country, may not be there when this copy is printed, so swift are the changes in army movements and of demobilization. Mrs. Henry, the secretary of Pueblo chapter, has given much time to obtaining the data of service by checking up the records of the Pueblo nurses both here and at the state headquarters in Denver The records available show that 23 workers were sent over seas, and eighteen were assigned to this country. The three men workers were all in foreign service. The names follow: Men workers: Perry C. Thatcher, Red Cross field executive, France; J. W. Gulan, front line clerical service; Asbury White, died in active front line canteen work. Pueblo Chieftain January 7, 1919 Was At His Schoolmate's Burial In a letter to H. A. Stetson from his son, Henry A. Stetson, member of the 90th Aereo Squad at the front in France dated December 1, the writer states that he attended the funeral of the late Asbury White, Jr., at Sauilly, France, and did not know the remains of his former townsman and schoolmate were being laid away. "I was one of the burying squad at the cemetery," young Stetson writes, "to lay to rest a plane pilot who had been killed in an air fight and we recovered his body. At the same time another burial was taking place, the two graves being almost side-by-side. A few days after I visited the spot to get a Kodak picture of the pilot's grave, I saw by the headboard on the other grave that it was Asbury White, Jr. He was a schoolmate of mine, and we attended the Centennial High together. I afterwards learned that I was in less than a mile from the hospital at the time young Asbury passed away."

White, a former Pueblo County sheriff's deputy and investigator, died Thursday at a local hospital after a sudden illness. He was 78. White, originally from Babbitt, Nev., was an Army veteran before moving to Pueblo and joining the sheriff's office. He eventually became head of the investigations unit under former Sheriff Dan Tihonovich. White was frequently in the news, figuring in arrests and even jailbreaks at the Pueblo County jail. Some reports weren't flattering. In 1978, White was convicted of assault stemming from an arrest he made in a local tavern. Tihonovich defended White at the time and accused then-District Attorney Joe Losavio of selectively prosecuting his department. White left the sheriff's office shortly afterward to start his own security and investigations company. Among his customers was actor Chevy Chase in 1982, when Warner Brothers was filming in the area. White retired from that business in 1990. He is survived by five children: Alvin Huntington, Edwina White and Eddie White III, all of Pueblo; Marques White of Colorado Springs; and Tamara Corley of Atlanta.

White - Pueblo Chieftain - November 1, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1986 - 1987 - Businesses Find a Home in Pueblo - They Made a Difference - Frank E. White - Frank E. White's voice and influence were behind many of Pueblo's historic moments, such as the creation of the City Charter in 1954, as well as in the predictable yearly battles seeking higher wages for city employees and better funding for senior-service programs. White was at the forefront of a bitter election battle in 1986 over the city's temporary half-cent sales tax. Government and most business leaders wanted to extend the tax for five years and use all the proceeds for economic development at the airport industrial park. White's group, Citizens for Human and Economic Progress, wanted the tax to be extended indefinitely, with some of the profits to be shared with human-service organizations and much-needed capital improvements. The city won, but White was credited with etching accountability into the process of deciding how the sales-tax money would be spent. A career firefighter who made a second career on the Civil Service Commission, White died July 8 of a heart attack at the age of 84. He was a World War II veteran, a tireless worker in the Democratic Party and an avid exerciser who spread his political message to all who would listen each day at the YMCA. Former City Councilman Sam Corsentino said at the time that White had been "a champion for the city, one of those special people you really can't replace. Frank was always active and looking out for the best interests of the city and city employees." White, G. H. Captain G. H.

Pueblo Chieftain July 26, 1919 John White Dead Following Blow from Man's Fist Coroner Campbell Calls Jury to Investigate Vanattan in Jail Awaiting Action John white, 56 years of age, who got into a fist fight with I. F. Vanattan, 25 years old, at the county corral, Fourteenth and Water St., Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, died at the St. Mary's Hospital yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. It is said that Vanattan struck White on the jaw knocking him down with terrific force. White arose from the ground to strike Vanattan, but fell unconscious. Immediately the Cowhick ambulance was summoned, and he was taken to the St. Mary's Hospital for medical treatment. Vanattan was arrested yesterday morning by the police at his home, 905 E. 4th St. and placed in the city jail. So far as is known by John Stamm, Superintendent of the county roads, the 2 men were in friendly relations and no enmity existed between them. Both were good workers and liked very much by Superintendent Stamm. There were no eyewitnesses present when the 2 men in gauged themselves in the fistic fight, it is said. Coroner Campbell has called a jury for this morning at 8:30 o'clock at the McCarthy Chapel. It is believed that death was due to concussion of the brain resulting from a blow struck by Vanattan. Vanattan is married and has 2 children. They reside near Rosita on a ranch, 5 miles east of Silver Cliff. White is the brother to Crum White, well known rancher. He was in charge of the teams and horses at the county corral, and was well known in the city. Pueblo Chieftain July 28, 1919 Inquest Today over Body of John White Coroner W. H. Campbell and a jury of 6 men already impaneled and sworn, will hold an inquest this afternoon, beginning at 4 o'clock, at the McCarthy Chapel, over the body of John White, who died at St. Mary's Hospital as a result of a blow of some kind on the chin and head. As the story goes, White became engaged in an altercation with J. F. Vanattan, also employed in roadwork under County Road Superintendent John Stamm, and the trouble occurred at the corral near Water and 14th Streets, Thursday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. A fight with fists, it is said, resulted from the quarrel which came up over the use of a hose said to be the personal property of White. A blow by Vanattan on White's chin is said to have knocked him down, and it is believed his head struck some hard object. At any rate he was rendered unconscious and never came to. Both of the men have worked on the road department for some time. White leaves a wife in this city, and Vanattan, who was lodged in jail to await official investigation, has a wife and 2 children residing on a ranch in Custer County, not far from Rosita. Several conflicting and rather peculiar stories have been circulated regarding the unfortunate affair, but it is expected the inquest will be able to clarify the situation. Pueblo Chieftain July 29, 1919 Rather Indefinite Coroner's Jury Verdict; Van Natta Still Held "John C. White came to his death as a result of injuries to the head caused by a fall over a blow which was a result of a blow inflicted by Ivan E. Van Natta, at 14th and Water Streets on July 25, 1919." This was the verdict returned by Coroner Campbell's jury after making as full an examination as possible yesterday afternoon into the causes of Mr. White's death. It will be noted that the jury does not say that the blow was or was not struck with felonious intent; neither does it say that the blow or blows were struck during the course of a fight between the 2 men, for there was no proof of either of those conditions. Evidence was clear that there had been a misunderstanding between Van Natta and White concerning the use of a water hose belonging to White, and following some words on the subject, Van Natta was seen to have hold of both White's hands and holding them behind the owners back, but it was not shown in the evidence that White ever struck a blow. Superintendent Stamm of the County Road Department, testified that Van Natta told him since the trouble that he did strike White and that he fell and struck his head on the end of a bridge plank which extended slightly from the end of a pile of lumber. At the close of the evidence Van Natta was asked by Deputy Dist. Atty. Taylor if he desired to make a statement, and he said he did not. Frank Yarberry, who previously had had some controversy with White, and John Nassen, also employed with the road crew, stated they were in the garage at the time of the trouble which resulted in White's death, and that Van Natta called them out saying he had had trouble with White, and that they found him lying on the ground near the lumber pile in an unconscious condition. Carrying him into the house and the calling of Dr. W. H. Baker, was related by the before mentioned two witnesses, and by Joe Malin who knew the men were quarreling, and who saw Van Natta holding White's hand, but did not see any blow struck. Dr. Baker, who performed the postmortem, and Dr. Killough who examined White both before and after he died, testified as to conditions, but neither of the physicians referred to a blue-black bruise on right side of chin which all members of the jury discussed when they viewed the body on Saturday morning; it was concluded that the bruise became apparent longer after death than the physicians had seen the body. Both told of the scratches on the nose, and the bruise on the head back of the left ear, and of the hemorrhages about the lobes and at the base of the brain. It was testified to that the bruise back of the temporal bone was not discovered until the scalp was removed. From testimony adduced at the inquest and from other information, it seems that the whole trouble arose over the use by the man of a hose which White had brought for his own use, largely to sprinkle his garden, and which Van Natta was using to wash his auto truck when White drove into the corral. Van Natta is still in charge of the sheriffs' office and it is understood that an information would be filed against him today regardless of the coroner's jury verdict. Pueblo Chieftain August 1, 1919 The funeral of John White will take place Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the McCarthy Chapel. Burial at Roselawn. Pueblo Chieftain August 2, 1919 The funeral of John White will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from McCarthy's Chapel; burial will be at Mountain View. Pueblo Chieftain August 3, 1919 The funeral of John White was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from McCarthy's Chapel. Rev. Frank E. Eden conducted the services. The pallbearers were Sterling Cawlfield, J. B. Cawlfield, Milton Yarberry, B. L. Hewitt, L. Accola, and C. H. Carlton. The burial was at Mountain View. Pueblo Chieftain August 6, 1919 Van Nattan is Arraigned on the Charge of Murder Ivan E. Vanattan was yesterday arraigned before Justice Corson and to answer to a charge of murder preferred by the Dist. Atty.'s office. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and was remanded to jail in default of bonds for his appearance for a preliminary hearing in the same court on August 8 at 2 o'clock. This charge grows out of the death of John C. White, foreman of the corral of the county road crew, located at Fourteenth and Water Streets, this city on July 24. Evidence showed that White was the owner of a garden hose which had been attached to one of the hydrants in the corral; that when he drove into the corral on the afternoon of the day of the fatality he found Vanattan using the hose to wash a truck he was driving. White told one of the other men to watch his team while he went to where Vanattan was using the hose; he was very angry, according to the testimony, and after the two came together one witness saw Vanattan have hold of both of White's hands behind his back. The next the witness knew, according to what he said on the stand, was when Vanattan called for someone to come and look after White, saying he had had trouble with him. The physician who performed the autopsy, and another who was called to examine the injured man while he lay unconscious at a hospital, and also after death, stated that they found an abrasion on the nose and the bruise on the left side of the head above the temple, and on removing the skull they found heavy hemorrhage around both lobes of the brain and at the base of it. The theory advanced at the inquest was that Vanattan struck White and that he fell and struck his head on the end of a protruding bridge timber, but there seemed to be no eyewitness to the exact manner in which the bruise or bump was received, though there has been a considerable amount of talk and theorizing since the inquest. White never regained consciousness and died a few hours after the injury was inflicted. White, John J. John J. White - Pueblo Chieftain - January 7, 1909 - John J.

White - Rocky Mountain News - February 16, 1889 - Death of a Good Man - Longmont, Colo., Feb. 13 - Rev. J. W. White, a former pastor of the Congregational church in this city, died in Pueblo last Monday, February 11, of consumption at the age of about 65 years. He was one of the great army of consumptives who come to Colorado in the hope of prolonging their lives. He has been a resident of Longmont for eight or nine years, but during the past three or four years was unable to preach. Late last autumn he went to Pueblo to spend the winter with his children who reside there, intending to return to his home in this city next spring. But he grew rapidly worse after leaving home, and as before stated, he passed over the river last Monday. The news of his death has carried sadness to the hearts of his many friends in this city. Appropriate memorial services will be held next Sunday forenoon in the Congregational church in this city, where he preached nearly six years until failing strength compelled him to retire from pulpit labor. Rocky Mountain News - February 18, 1899 - Memorial Service - Longmont, Colo., Feb. 17 - An exceedingly interesting service was held in the Congregational church in this city this forenoon, in memory of the late Rev. John Wesley White, who died in Pueblo, February 11, while on a visit with his children, who reside in that city. As three of his four children have their homes in Pueblo, the burial took place there with appropriate funeral services. But as Longmont had been his home for nearly ten years, and he had served the Congregational church as pastor for nearly seven years, it was decided to hold a memorial service here this Sunday morning. The audience room of the church was filled to the extent of its seating capacity, the usual Sunday services in the Presbyterian church having been omitted and its pastor, Rev. W. O. Thompson, with his congregation, attending in a body. A very tender and affectionate tribute of respect and personal esteem was paid to the deceased clergyman by Rev. Mr. Thompson, whose personal acquaintance with him covered only four years, but was of the most intimate character. Following Mr. Thompson's address was the memorial sermon by the present pastor of the church, Rev. H. E. Thayer, formerly of Denver, in which he incorporated a brief personal history of the deceased as a man and preacher. It brought out the fact that during nearly twenty years of his ministerial experience he had struggled with pulmonary disease, which even the climate of Colorado could not cure, but only alleviate. He continued to preach for months after those who knew his physical condition the best felt that in justice to himself and family he ought to withdraw from all pulpit and pastoral work and rest from his labors. He was a man in whom there was no guile, who faithfully lived the religion he preached, and the good influence of whose counsel and example will long survive his death. White, Josephine V.

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

One might be disposed to think there was no occasion for a man to take his own life where the chances of getting killed are so numerous as in that vicinity. Civilization is to blame for it, no doubt.

A memorial service will be held Sunday, Oct. 20 at Central Christian Church, where he was minister for 28 years. Life Legacy - Vistoso Funeral Home - October 13, 2013 - Dr. Charles Whitmer grew up in a world of poverty and neglect during The Great Depression. But Charles knew that this was not to be his destiny. He persevered, escaped from his oppressive family environment, and became a shining example to all who knew him. Life was good for Charles until his father died when he was eleven. Charles had few memories of his father but the one thing he did remember was the revival meeting where his father walked down the aisle to profess his faith in Christ. Charles followed him and they were baptized together. It was this event that most likely directed the course of Charles' life. After his father's death, Charles' mother, although educated and talented, became involved with a man who squandered the little money they had on alcohol and partying. Charles and his seven brothers and sisters endured nothing but hard times. Somehow, through all of this, Charles realized that he didn't belong in the slums of Muskogee. One afternoon when he was 16 years old, Charles came home to find his brother Joe and his new wife Veneta, who had stopped by Muskogee on their way to graduate school in Tennessee. Jokingly, they asked Charles if he would like to come and live with them. Within an hour, he had all his belongings in a paper grocery sack and was on his way to a better life. When Joe and Veneta left Nashville for the mission field in the Belgian Congo, Charles hitch-hiked to Enid, Oklahoma with plans to attend Phillips University and become a minister of the gospel. Although he had not yet graduated from high school at the time, he convinced the Dean to admit him on probation, promising to make up the missing credits. He kept that promise, graduated, and went on to seminary to become a minister like his brother. Two and a half years later, when the Dean visited the church where Charles served as a student minister, he was impressed by the large attendance and the way the congregation responded to Charles. The Dean remarked, "Charles, you sure have proven yourself. You may have entered the university without qualifications but you are one of the best student ministers Phillips University has ever produced." It was when Charles was a student minister that he met his future wife, Jean. She visited his church and noticed the handsome young student minister immediately. He was friendly, outgoing "never met a stranger" Charles Whitmer. He asked her if she would like to help him with the youth groups. She wanted to make sure she saw him again so she accepted. They fell in love, stayed in love and celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary on June 7, 2011 Charles was then called to serve in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Here he baptized over 100 people a year and led the congregation to build a new church. One of the elders said, "Preacher, where are you getting all these members?" Some say he followed the newcomers to their home and invited them to church. He was always happy, smiling, joking, and ALWAYS first in line at the covered dish suppers! Soon he was looking for a new challenge and after a short stay in Breckenridge, Texas the mountains of Colorado beckoned them to Pueblo, where he became minister of Central Christian Church. During his first year at Central Christian, Charles increased the membership of the small church by 230 members. Again he led the congregations to build a new church. He had a friendly, magnetic personality and was as outstanding in the pulpit as he was in his relationships with people. He was also known for his evangelistic qualities. He spent a huge portion of his ministry calling on shut-ins, visiting the sick in hospitals and visiting new and prospective members in their homes. He was so successful in Pueblo that he stayed for 28 years and by the end of his tenure the church roll peaked at 1,546 members. On the last Sunday of his ministry at Central Christian the Pueblo City Council declared Charles "outstanding religious servant of 1985, having excelled as one of Pueblo's foremost religious leaders," and The Pueblo Chieftain headline read: "A Day in Honor of Dr. Charles R. Whitmer!" When asked about his 28 years of service at his retirement celebration he said, "It's not that bad things didn't happen, but I remember only the good." That's the way Charles lived his life and the way he saw people all around him. He looked for the positive and he only saw the good. He loved his work and he was proud of the fact that throughout his ministry of 44 years he led close to 2,000 people to Christ. One of Charles' Timothys, Mark Pumphrey, who is minister of a large church in Denver once said of Charles, "I went to Phillips University Seminary, but Charles Whitmer taught me more than any class I ever took. At a time when I had lost my way, Charles believed in me and loved me back into the faith and the ministry." Mark was instrumental in Charles receiving his honorary Doctorate from Phillips University, which was one of the highlights of his career. Charles loved all people, especially his wife Jean and his two daughters, Nancy and Cheryl. After retiring, he and Jean moved to Tucson, Az., and enjoyed hiking in the beautiful mountains of Arizona and New Mexico. They also loved traveling, especially to Hawaii. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in Maui with Nancy, Cheryl and their families. His daughter Nancy and her husband Paul live in Saddlebrooke and Charles was always happiest when they were around. He loved Paul like a son. He always looked forward to visits from Cheryl and Stephen and all the grandchildren as well, eager to take them to Sabino Canyon or the Desert Museum. After Jean died in June of 2011, Charles acquired two more sons. Robert was first and he lived with Charles and cared for him for the last 2 years of his life. Charles was not too happy about the arrangement in the beginning but he grew to love Robert and enjoyed being waited on hand and foot. Then along came Bill. For the last seven months Robert and Bill were both there for Charles. They were angels sent from God and became a part of our family. We couldn't end the last chapter of Charles' life without including them.

Wiggins, John John Wiggins - Trinidad Times - November 16, 2010 - Aguilar town marshal found dead - Aguilar's town marshal was found dead at his home Sunday. John Wiggins, 31, had been town marshal since July 4, 2010. A native of Walsenburg and the father of two children, Wiggins was remembered fondly by Aguilar town secretary Tyra Avila. I know that he was great at the school, Avila said. He really worked to make sure those kids were safe. The kids all seemed to like him, too. Authorities are not sure of the cause of Wiggins' death at this time. Las Animas County Sheriff Jim Casias said the matter is under investigation by his department and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Casias said that he expected an autopsy would be performed, but said he had no further information to release by the time this newspaper went to press Monday afternoon. The mayor of Aguilar was not accepting phone calls Monday morning, according to town secretary Avila. Pueblo Chieftain - November 17, 2010 - Autopsy: No exact cause of death for Aguilar marshal - John Wiggins was found dead at his home Sunday - Aguilar - An autopsy, performed on the body of Town Marshal John Wiggins, has not determined his cause of death. Wiggins, 31, was found dead Sunday at his home on Main Street. Authorities said Tuesday there was no obvious sign of foul play. An autopsy was conducted to find the cause of death Tuesday morning. A spokesman with the Las Animas County Coroner's office said Wiggins appeared to be very healthy. The spokesman said the coroner has to wait for the results of a toxicology report to determine a cause of death. Toxicology tests can take more than a month to complete. Wiggins had been town marshal for a little more than four months and was a former police officer in Walsenburg. Wiggins lived in Aguilar Housing Authority apartments on Main Street. Family members said he had been ill recently. He is survived by two children. Sheriff's deputies responded to his home after neighbors and town officials reported that he had not been contacted in several days. In an e-mail to The Pueblo Chieftain a family member said they are all going through a difficult time. "He has two children and a family that loves him very much and will miss him deeply," the family member said. The family member said that Wiggins had been sick and very tired recently and wanted some space. "It wasn't uncommon for John to spend time alone when he was under the weather. We last saw him and talked to him (last) Tuesday night when he said he was sick. "When he didn't return our calls and texts, we assumed he was still sleeping on and off, plus his personal cell phone didn't have good service in Aguilar."

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

Phillip Wiley - 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. Yet, they were also buying Army Sgt. Barry Sadler's "Ballad of the Green Berets." Even in pop music, it was impossible to ignore the growing war in Vietnam. 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. More chilling were the small stories that were cropping up showing the smiling faces of young Pueblo men, in Army caps or Marine helmets, along with the news they had been killed in action. Over the next two years, 16 Pueblo men would be killed in action: Cpl. James Spinuzzi, Sgt. Alex Montoya, Sgt. David Garcia, Pfc. John Robbins, Pfc. Pete Martinez, Pfc. Phillip Wiley, Pfc. Manuel Herrera. The list would go on through the war until it totaled 58 dead. Wilford, John W. John W. Wilford - Pueblo Chieftain April 2, 1918 Two Brothers Killed by Poisonous Gases John W. Wilford, 36 and Lovell K. Wilford, 25, brothers, were instantly killed at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by inhaling poisonous gases in a well they were digging on the Freeman farm at Goodpasture, 28 miles Southwest of Pueblo. John died first and Lovell gave up his life in a vain attempt to rescue his brother from the bottom of the well. Leonard Wilford, 22, a third brother, defied the fate that had overtaken his two older brothers, went into the "death toll," fastened a rope around the bodies of his brothers, and they were drawn to the surface. Both were dead when they were taken out of the well and failed to respond to her heroic efforts made to resuscitate them. The aged father of the three boys witnessed the brave attempt at rescue by the youngest son. The air and the well had been fanned with a blanket tied to the end of a rope before Leonard Wilford was permitted to attempt the rescue. He felt no ill effects from the gas fumes which killed his brothers. The Wilford brothers who were born in the Goodpasture district, where the family had been residing for years and is prominent, were "trading labor" with Mr. Freeman, a neighboring farmer. They had agreed to help dig the well for him and the well had attained a depth of 58 feet. Yesterday noon a blast was set off in the well. After dinner the Wilford boys entered the whole to resume their digging. The gas was so bad that they remained in the well only a few minutes when they return to the surface and complained that the gas gave them headaches. They did not try to resume digging until late in the afternoon when John Wilford entered the well. He was seen to fall to the ground after climbing out of the derrick bucket in which he was lowered. Lovell Wilford instantly raised the bucket and was lowered into the well to rescue his brother. When the bucket was lowered to within about five feet of the bottom, Lovell Wilford was overcome by the gas, and fell out of the bucket. Leonard Wilford, who had been hurriedly summoned, immediately volunteered to rescue his brothers. The aged father, who had come to the scene, insisted that the well be fanned and this was done by lowering a blanket on a rope and drawing it up and down rapidly. Leonard then entered the well and found the gas had been fanned out. He fastened the rope beneath the arms of his brothers and they were taken out, but the deadly gas fumes had proven fatal to both and neither regained consciousness. The two Wilford brothers who met death, were married to the Hartman sisters, members of a pioneer Goodpasture family. John was married in June of 1917 and Lovell was married in January of this year. Both were engaged in farming at Goodpasture and were prosperous. The wives of the brothers were almost prostrated when the bodies of their husbands were brought home. The little community of Goodpasture is plunged into grief, the boys being well known and highly esteemed by their neighbors. The mother of the Wilford boys is at present visiting in Calif. and a telegram was sent yesterday afternoon apprising her of the accident. The United Undertaking Co. ambulance made the trip to the Goodpasture district and Corner Ray Taylor also visited the well and viewed the bodies. An inquest will not be held. The bodies of the brothers are at the United Undertaking Co. funeral home, and the funeral arrangements will be completed upon the arrival from Calif. of Mrs. Wilford, mother of the boys. John Wilford was a member of the M. W. A. of Jackson, Mississippi, and of the Woodmen of Woodcraft of Goodpasture. Besides their wives and parents, the brothers leave two sisters, Mrs. William Opp of Goodpasture and Mrs. Alta Nichols of Fowler, and two brothers, Marion of Sherburh, Minn., and Leonard of Goodpasture.

Williams, better known as "Jack" which occurred in Fowler, December 6, 1918, as a result of an attack of influenza, one of Fowler's most prominent citizens passed away. He had been manager of the Fowler and Manzanola branches of the Mountain States Telephone Company for several years past. Previous to accepting the position which he held in Fowler he was connected with the same company in Pueblo. He was the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Isgrig, of Pueblo, having been married to their daughter, Miss Esther Isgrig about 4 years ago. In discussing his death the Fowler Tribune of December 13, says: Again the force and awfulness of the influenza epidemic made itself felt in this city last Friday, when C. A. Williams, better known as "Jack," succumbed to the dread disease and passed out of life. Mr. Williams, genial manager of the Fowler and Manzanola branches of the Mountain State Telephone Company, died Friday night at 9:25, at his home, corner Ninth and Florence Avenue. He had been sick 6 days. His death cast a gloom over the city from which it has not yet emerged. We were so used to seeing him every day enjoying his jolly good nature; so used to calling on him for his every ready assistance in various branches of war work and had come to know him as a strapping big, strong, muscular man who had the appearance of being able to successfully cope with every obstacle the confronted him; that the thought of "Jack" being the next to answer death's call had not entered our minds. The public was not prepared for such an announcement, and the news of his passing away came with terrific force. Then, too, circumstances surrounding his death added to the shock, his wife and his sister, Mrs. Glass, also being confined to their beds at the time. Neither was able to see the body after the spirit of life took its departure, and neither was able to attend the funeral services or to accompany the body to its last resting place in Roselawn Cemetery, Pueblo. Bighearted, loving, devoted "Jack" was suddenly removed from them and they were not privileged to even say to him "Goodbye." Fate, however, does not remove the precious memory of a good life, the memory of kindly deeds of love and devotion, and remembrance of his cheery disposition and ever-ready wit. Charles Ayers Williams was the son of DeLong and Florence Ayers Williams. He was born in Colorado Springs July 10, 1889. Most of his life was spent in Pueblo, where after receiving his education he was employed by Swift & Co., Armor & Co., and the Mountain States Telephone Company, successively. He was sent to Fowler about 3 years ago by the Telephone Company to take charge of the office at this place and the branch at Manzanola. He handled the local business in an efficient manner and his services are spoken of only in terms of highest praise and by the telephone company officers and by the people of Fowler as well. Mr. William's marriage to Miss Esther Isgrig, of Pueblo, daughter of Mr. Mrs. W. O. Isgrig, occurred about 4 years ago. Mrs. Williams survives and to her much sympathy is expressed by the people of the community, all of whom have learned to love these young people dearly during their several years of residence here. Mr. Williams was a member of the Christian church, the Christian Brotherhood, Elks Lodge No. 90 of Pueblo, Ashlar Lodge No. 115, A. F. & A. M. of Fowler, and the Order of Yeomen. He was leader of Troop 3 of the local Boy Scouts, and as such was greatly admired by the boys of the troops. Mr. Williams possessed a strong voice and was often called upon for vocal solos at church services and public entertainments. Out of a family of 7 children "Jack" is the first to be called by death. The remaining brothers and sisters are: Joseph L. of Alamosa; William D. of Pueblo; Mrs. Mary E. Atkins of Powell, Wyo.; Mrs. Florence H. Wheatley, Pueblo; Mrs. Laura Glass, Fowler; Mrs. Thelma A. Dickson, Philadelphia, Pa. The father and mother previously passed away. Funeral services were held at the H. A. Larson parlors Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, the friends assembling in front of the parlors, in compliance with a request of the health officer. Rev. Mr. Lucas, pastor of the Methodist Church, had charge of the service in the absence of the pastor of the Christian Church. Mrs. Koch sang beautifully, "The Sands of Time," and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." The body was taken to Pueblo on No. 612 Sunday at 1:50 p.m. where the Elks had charge of the services at the grave in the family lot in Roselawn. Undertaker Larson accompanied the body to Pueblo, as did Mrs. G. T. Bauer and J. H. Wilson, the latter 2 being pallbearers. The large number of floral offerings, from Fowler and out-of-town points, attested to the popularity of "Jack" and the high esteem in which he was held by his large circle of friends. The local branch of the American Red Cross feels keenly the loss of Mr. Williams from the community, and the officers asked the Tribune to mention their appreciation of his ever-willingness to respond to any request they made of him for service or assistance. Never once did Mr. Williams fail to comply with a request from the local branch of the Red Cross organization. He was always ready and very willing no matter how large or how difficult the task. "Jack" was at the head of the Red Cross auction and it was largely through his ardent efforts this bit of enterprise was successfully handled with big profits to the local organization. Space will not permit separate mention of the various branches of the Red Cross work that Mr. Williams had a prominent part in, but the Tribune cheerfully gives him credit for his deep interest in the organization, his untiring effort to assist the ladies in whatever there was to do, and for his generous contributions of time and money. Williams, C. H. C. H. Williams Pueblo Chieftain January 15, 1919 Father Dead Patrolmen J. M. Williams received a telegram from Williamstown, Ky., yesterday morning stating his father, C. H.

Williams Called; Chivalrous Young Southerner Long Fight for Life Lost One Popular Man Is Called Last Evening After a long stubborn fight to live, during which time he never lost hope for so much as a moment, Charles H. Williams, prominent as a stenographer and Pueblo County public administrator, associated with the County Court, died last evening at his home, 2323 Greenwood St. He was a victim of a form of lung trouble from which he had suffered for 8 years, following a breakdown in Chicago that cut short what promised to be an exceedingly brilliant career for the young, ambitious southerner. Williams had resided in Pueblo 5 years during which time he made a host of friends, who will regret to learn of his taking off. Member of prominent Southern family he had been highly educated, graduating from Suwanee University and specializing in different branches, and he was an instantaneous favorite in this city, his delightful personality, degree of polish and courteous chivalrous ways winning for him the admiration of all with whom he came in contact. Health Breaks Down Finishing his education in the South Williams went to Chicago where expertness as a stenographer secured him a high salaried court position. His health gave way, however, partially due to overexertion in college athletics in previous years, and he came to Colo. in search of health. He sojourned at Denver and Colorado Springs, and 5 years ago located in Pueblo. He worked as a newspaper reporter for a year and then went into the offices of Hartman & Ballreich, attorneys. From that position he was appointed reporter in the County Court and public administrator. He officiated in that capacity, making a splendid record, until he was stricken following an extended trip to his old home at Jackson, Tennessee, and to New York City and other eastern points. The change in climate did not agree with him and after that trip he never regained his strength. For the greater part of the past year he had been confined to his home and at a time when it was considered that a sojourn in the country would be undertaken to Williams' advantage, he took a turn for the worse a few days ago and death resulted last evening. 3 years ago Williams was married to Miss Mary Allsop of Pueblo and to the brave little wife who gladly gave every moment of her well directed time to her stricken husband, belongs the credit of prolonging the end that came last night, long after attending physicians had considered the Grim Reaper would claim the patient. In his youth Williams had developed almost uncanny skill as a stenographer, both for speed and accuracy. His good education and alertness stood him in good stead and he was in great demand as official reporter for conventions and other large gatherings. Williams was born in Jackson, Tennessee, and was 32 years old. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Williams, prominent in Tennessee, and in addition to his parents, leaves a brother, Jack, and a sister, Rose, all residing at Jackson. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 5: 40 5 o'clock at the United Chapel. The Rev. Thomas Cassady, of the Church of the Ascension, will conduct the services. The body will be sent to Jackson, Tennessee, for burial at 7:05 o'clock, accompanied by the widow and her brother, Dr. W. K. Allsop, of Steubenville, Ohio, who arrived here several days ago.

He graduated from Pueblo Centennial in 1974 and CSU-Fort Collins with a Bachelor of Science degree in horticulture/floriculture in 1979. While in college, he did internships at Sunnyside Nurseries, Gilroy, Calif., and Irwin Greenhouses, Amarillo, Texas. He was involved with kalanchoe production at Irwin Greenhouses from 1979 until 1985, when he became employed at the Paul Ecke Ranch and moved to Encinitas, Calif. As a technical specialist for Ecke Ranch and Ecke Europe, Jack visited greenhouses and trial sites throughout Asia, Africa, Australia, India, Europe and all around the Americas to evaluate crops, production systems and access the need and market for not only the poinsettias that Ecke Ranch is famous for, but all the annual bedding plants, geraniums, kalanchoe and other vegetative annual crops produced and sold by the Ecke companies. In addition to working with product development, production and the sales and marketing groups for new plant introductions, Williams supported these crops through technical support in the form of production documents, magazine articles, crop production books and grower seminars.

Everyone knew Jack would be the guy who could help make them successful." Throughout his life, Jack welcomed each day and what it might bring. His quick wit, ready smile, easy laugh, intelligence, loving and caring ways made him a friend of many throughout the world. Many will remember him as a mentor or for his zest for life and how he appreciated and loved the plants and world around him. His immediate and extended family and friends will always remember him for exhibiting and expressing his ever increasing love for them, his honesty, his humbleness and the fact that they and the world have been blessed by his presence which was so suddenly shortened. Celebrations of Jack's life will be held in Encinitas, Calif., on Oct. 30, 2010, and in Pueblo on Nov. 5, 2010. The Pueblo service will be held at 2 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church.

The beauty and enjoyment that plant will provide is a great way to remember Jack.

Pueblo Chieftain September 13, 1918 Thousands Pay Respects to Cadet James Edward Wilson A comfort which may be denied many fathers and mothers when more Pueblo lads begin to pay the supreme sacrifice was given Mr. and Mrs. John E. Wilson yesterday morning when they were able to have the funeral services of their son, Cadet James Edward Wilson, from their home instead of "at sea" or "on the battlefield in France." No more eloquent eulogy could be paid a soldier than that of the presence of the 5,000 friends who crowded the Sacred Heart Church to the sidewalk when Rev. Father Thomas J. Wolohan in conducting the services, emphasized the glory of the cause for which the young soldier had given his life. In so far as was possible, the services were military, the khaki being represented by the veterans of the Spanish-American War and the high school cadets; older veterans in blue, who had offered their lives for the same flag under which the body of the cadet lay. Canteen and Red Cross workers, members of the motor corps, Marine, Army, and Navy recruiting officers, as well as several hundred students from Centennial High School, from which Wilson had graduated, and thousands of friends were present to pay their silent tribute. The war veterans and the high school cadets mind the steps of the church, and the high school students form two walls a block and a half long between which the funeral procession passed. Three salutes were fired at the Mountain View Cemetery by the firing squad of the Spanish-American War Veterans as the Rev. Father Wolohan had conducted the committal service. The flower girls, whose arms were laden with the profuse floral offerings, were Mrs. Stewart N. Seeyle, Miss Edwina Vories, Miss Julia Mount, Miss Jessie Eberenz, Miss Margaret Retberg, Miss Marion Retberg, Miss Shirley Russell, Miss Hazel Watford, Miss Margaret Harpster, Miss Florence Haines.

Williams, Paul Amos Paul Amos Williams - Pueblo Chieftain February 11, 1918 Names of Those Not Listed among Tuscania Survivors Wash., February 10 Eighteen hundred and thirty-two names of American soldiers rescued from the torpedoed liner Tuscania had been reported tonight to the War Dept. leaving 345 of the soldiers on board unaccounted for. No official report has reached the department to change the estimate that all except 113 of the men were saved, but the names have been coming in very slowly over the cables, and there is no assurance as to when the list will be complete. From the names so far received in the passenger list of the lost steamer, The Associated Press has compiled the record of those still not reported. Probably more than 200 of the men whose names appear on this record are safe in Ireland and will be so reported soon. The preparation of this list, even in its incomplete form, represents an aggregate of one hundred and forty hours of labor. The war department has only issued an official roll of those on the ship. The committee on public information has made no effort to compile a list of the missing, merely issuing lists of survivors. In order to complete a list of missing and unreported, it was necessary to search for each name in both lists, a laborious process in dealing with more than 2,000 names. Thirty-six names on the list of survivors given out by the public information committee do not appear on the war department roster of those on board. It is assumed that some soldiers possibly were sent aboard the steamer at the last moment without having their names reported for the passenger list records on this side, and also that some members of the ship's crew may have been erroneously reported among the military survivors. Pueblo Chieftain February 11, 1918 Pueblo Youth on Board the Tuscania; May Have Perished Name of Paul A. Williams Not on List of Survivors Received Announcement is made by the Associated Press that a Pueblo boy, Paul Amos Williams, was aboard the transport U. S. Gagne when it was torpedoed and sunk off the north coast of Ireland last Wednesday. Reports of survivors thus far received at Wash. do not contain the name of the Pueblo man, and unless later reports show him to have survived the disaster Pueblo will have given one of her valiant sons - probably the first Pueblo boy to die abroad - to the cause of world freedom. Paul Amos Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Williams, residing at 3009 Court St., was 22 years of age, an automobile machinist by trade, and left Pueblo Monday, October 1, with a large contingent of Pueblo sons going to war. Later he went to Woodarl, Okla., where he underwent examinations and was sent to Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. Williams was married here two years ago and his wife is at present on a visit to Okla. They have no children. The brothers and sisters of the soldier are Donald E., James A., J. Theodor, Charles, Miss Florence, Miss Otie, and Mrs. Josie Thompson, the last named residing at Casper, Wyo. All the others resided here. In a letter to his mother written from Camp Travis January 7, Williams stated that the boys of his company knew they were to start for "somewhere in the good old U.S.A." very soon, and expressed regret that they were not moving to France at once. In another letter to his mother just one week later, written from Spartanburg, S. C., Williams stated that they were then on the way to N.Y., and might go to France. He begged his dear old mother to be of good cheer and not to worry about him and stated that when he got to France he would send her some souvenirs of the country. The last letter closed with the words "Goodbye for this time, your affectionate son, Paul." When seen at the family home at an early hour this morning and told that their soldier boy had not yet been accounted for on the survivors list of the Tuscania, the father of the soldier said that he had had no word from his son since he had left Spartanburg, S. C., but had been wondering whether or not it were possible that his boy had been on the ill-fated transport. The word received last night is the first intimation the family here had had of the presence of their son on the Tuscania, and the aged parents were deeply affected by the news, but nevertheless clinging to the hope that later reports would reveal their soldier son among those saved. The father is an employee of the Stearns-Roger Manufacturing Co. and has resided here several years. The family came to Pueblo from Hutchinson, Kan., which was the birthplace of the missing soldier boy. Pueblo Chieftain February 12, 1918 The above is a photograph of Paul A. Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Williams, 3009 Court St. He was on board the Tuscania when she was torpedoed last Wednesday and his name has not yet been received by the War Dept. as a survivor. Indications are that he was among those lost, but there is yet a chance that he was saved, because the complete list of survivors has not yet been cabled to the United States. Pueblo Chieftain February 14, 1918 More Evidence of Death of Pueblo Soldier Boy That a man by the name of Williams lost his life when transport Tuscania was torpedoed off the north coast of Ireland February 6, is known to the government officials, and that the body of a man by the name of Williams was buried on the coast of Scotland is also revealed in cables from across the sea, but whether or not the body buried in Scotland is that of Paul Amos Williams of this city is not yet definitely established. Cabled messages to the government in Washington of the lists of dead contain the name "William O. Williams" as buried in Scotland. The passenger list of the Tuscania shows the name of Bell M. Williams of Glenwood, Ark., and Paul A. Williams of Pueblo, Colo., but no William O. Williams. The fact that the name of Paul A. Williams has not yet appeared in any of the lists of survivors of the Tuscania disaster coupled with the appearance of the name (Williams) as among the known dead, leads to a growing belief that when the records are complete, if they ever can be completed, that a Pueblo soldier boy gave his life to his country's cause, though all Pueblo still clings, with the parents and relatives of Paul A. Williams, to the thread of hope that the young Puebloan will yet be accounted for among the living. Pueblo Chieftain February 16, 1918 Indications More Conclusive That Pueblo Soldier Perished Although definite information has not been received as to whether or not Paul A. Williams of Pueblo was killed when the transport Tuscania went down last week, indications more clearly point to this sad possibility. While his name has not been included in a list of survivors or any list of dead, a name garbled in transmission by cable across the seas may have been his. On February 13, a cablegram from a Scottish port giving the names of the dead buried at that place carried the name of a William O. Williams. The passenger list showed no Williams with those initials but did show a Paul A. Williams of Pueblo and a Bell M. Williams of Arkansas. Last night a cablegram giving the names of 10 additional victims of the disaster carried the name of Bell M. Williams. It appears, therefore that there are two men by the name of Williams dead, and this would lead to the conclusion that the Pueblo boy perished. The dispatches from Washington on the subject follows: Washington, February 15 Eighty-two names of known dead among the American soldiers who were on board the torpedoed liner Tuscania were received by cable tonight at the war department. An Associated Press dispatch last Tuesday announced that 164 soldier victims had been buried on the Scottish coast and gave the names of 131 identified, but tonight's message was the first official partial list to reach the department. Ten names that did not appear on the list of dead buried on the Scottish coast are given in the department's dispatch. They are: Cpl. Clear Bargerstock, Marienville, Pa.; Private Russell F. Bennett, Plainfield, Wis.; Private Franklin A. Church, Providence, R. I.; Private William A. Dinter, Cuero, Texas; Private Roy W. May, Lindale, Texas; Private Henry Oxfort, Turnersville, Texas; Private Otto Ray, Coleman, Texas; Private James F. Sparkman, Frisco, Texas; Private Bell M. Williams, Glenwood, Ark.; Private James C. Wood, Yantis, Texas. No new estimate of the total number of dead was made at the department tonight. It has been believed that the total would not exceed 170 but the above 10 apparently brings the list of known dead up to 174. Franklin A. Church was reported in the cablegram from the Scottish coast as "E. F. Church," and James C. Wood was reported as Paul John C. Wood. The Scottish coast list gives the name William O. Williams. The passenger list shows Bell M. Williams, now reported dead in the department's cable, and Paul A. Williams who has not been reported lost although his name has not yet appeared on a list of survivors. The war department's report of survivors still is far from complete. More than 200 men remain to be accounted for. Pueblo Chieftain February 18, 1918 Memorial Services for Victims of Tuscania - New York, February 17 Memorial services for the American soldiers and British soldiers who lost their lives on the transport Tuscania were held here today. Telegrams were received from many men, including Sec. of the Navy Daniels and Earl Reading, British High Commissioner and special ambassador to the United States. Pueblo Chieftain February 27, 1918 Pueblo Boy Was Tuscania Victim Is Most Certain There appears to be no doubt at this time that Paul Williams of Pueblo was among those lost when the transport Tuscania was sunk by a German torpedo. His name has not been listed among the survivors and one man by the name of Williams was listed among those killed and must be the Paul Williams from Pueblo since no further word has been received regarding him either as among the survivors or among the dead. Therefore it is presumed that without doubt he was a victim of the disaster. The final checking up by the War Dept. is contained in an Associated Press dispatch received yesterday, it follows: Washington, February 26 A partial list of the officially reported missing and unidentified dead of the troop ship Tuscania, issued today by War Dept. contains 61 names, all previously having been included in the Associated Press unofficial list which still contains seven names on which no reports have been made by the War Dept. Four names were added to the list of those officially reported missing or among the unidentified dead in a statement by the department. All four had appeared on the Associated Press list of those unaccounted for in any way. Only three names are now left on that list. They are Amos McDaniel, Stockdale, Texas; George Moutray, Grandview, Ore.; Carroll Scully, Toledo, Ohio. Pueblo Chieftain January 1, 1919 3,000 From Pueblo in Great War Every Branch of War Service Represented by Men From This City Based on the best figures available, estimates show that Pueblo and Pueblo County gave over 3,000 men to the army, navy, marines, aero service, and other branches of the war service The first Pueblo soldier to die over seas, so far as available records show, was Paul Amos Williams, whose parents reside at 3009 Court street. He was a victim of the torpedoing of the Tuscania Feb. 6, last. 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. Williams, Ramona B. Ramona B. Williams - Pueblo Chieftain - April 8, 2009 - Ramona B. Williams, 87, passed away April 7, 2009.

Pueblo Chieftain - March 28, 2009 - Homeless man's death a reminder of fragility of life - Nothing like a sudden winterlike storm and the death of a homeless man to remind us how vulnerable we are against the forces of nature. Most of us saw it coming. The National Weather Service issued storm advisories overnight Tuesday. Wednesday's Chieftain warned "Forecast calls for snow, colder temps." Television weather reports warned viewers to expect 2 feet of snow in the mountains and as much as 8 inches in Pueblo. Early Thursday from the comfort of my home, I watched the storm move into Colorado on Internet weather sites. By the time I drove the 8 miles to work, blowing snow had reduced visibility to about 50 feet and the temperature was dropping like the DOW after an Obama speech. Even though I had seen it coming, the storm was worse then I had expected. Sometime about 5:15 p.m. when the blizzard was wreaking havoc on anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves outdoors, we heard a report on the newsroom police scanner of a dead body under one of the bridges over Fountain Creek. Within an hour, a body was found wrapped in a blanket under the U.S. 50 Bypass bridge over the creek. Later, police theorized the victim as a transient because his identification gave Posada as his address. Little more was known and Friday's heartbreaking headline read, "Transient found dead under bridge." As I wrote the headline, I wondered, "When did this poor guy find out about the pending storm and cold snap, or did it catch him by surprise?" Police said he was found in a hobo camp, so apparently he was living outdoors for some time. There was no TV, Internet, newspaper to warn him of the imminent, life-threatening change in the weather. On Friday, County Coroner James Kramer identified the man as Robert Williams, 49. Kim Bowman of Posada, the agency charged with providing basic services to the homeless in our community, said Williams was a frequent visitor to the agency. He had been in a week ago to check his mail and pick up a shower voucher, she said. According to Posada records, Williams first registered with the agency two years ago. He said he had been homeless for the six years prior to that. He had severe problems with alcoholism and had completed more than one rehabilitation program. Attempts at long-term rehabilitation failed and the booze was taking a toll on the man's health. He told someone at Posada he had an 11-year-old daughter. One of the ironies of the Williams' tragic death is that, according to Bowman, Posada had arranged for numerous warm emergency shelters in preparation for the storm. "There was no reason anyone had to be out in that weather," Bowman said. Authorities called Williams a transient, but Bowman said he had a Colorado birth certificate and was born in Pueblo. He wasn't just passing through or some unfortunate soul from somewhere else. I don't know why, but that made me even sadder. Williams was a homegrown Puebloan whose 11-year-old daughter is somewhere in our community learning that her Daddy died under a bridge. Kramer said Friday that Williams died from internal hemorrhaging, not from the cold. For all we know, he may have been dead before the storm hit. Maybe he would have died even if he were in a hospital bed. Heck, he might have died two years ago if Posada hadn't been there. How many more people might have died this week if Posada, the Salvation Army, the Community Soup Kitchen, Wayside Cross Mission, or the American Red Cross had not been there? These groups, and I'm sure there's others, deserve our gratitude and continued support. I am reminded of Anatole France's quote: "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." We would do well to count our blessings.

Pueblo Chieftain September 13, 1918 Thousands Pay Respects to Cadet James Edward Wilson A comfort which may be denied many fathers and mothers when more Pueblo lads begin to pay the supreme sacrifice was given Mr. and Mrs. John E. Wilson yesterday morning when they were able to have the funeral services of their son, Cadet James Edward Wilson, from their home instead of "at sea" or "on the battlefield in France." No more eloquent eulogy could be paid a soldier than that of the presence of the 5,000 friends who crowded the Sacred Heart Church to the sidewalk when Rev. Father Thomas J. Wolohan in conducting the services, emphasized the glory of the cause for which the young soldier had given his life. In so far as was possible, the services were military, the khaki being represented by the veterans of the Spanish-American War and the high school cadets; older veterans in blue, who had offered their lives for the same flag under which the body of the cadet lay. Canteen and Red Cross workers, members of the motor corps, Marine, Army, and Navy recruiting officers, as well as several hundred students from Centennial High School, from which Wilson had graduated, and thousands of friends were present to pay their silent tribute. The war veterans and the high school cadets mind the steps of the church, and the high school students form two walls a block and a half long between which the funeral procession passed. Three salutes were fired at the Mountain View Cemetery by the firing squad of the Spanish-American War Veterans as the Rev. Father Wolohan had conducted the committal service. The flower girls, whose arms were laden with the profuse floral offerings, were Mrs. Stewart N. Seeyle, Miss Edwina Vories, Miss Julia Mount, Miss Jessie Eberenz, Miss Margaret Retberg, Miss Marion Retberg, Miss Shirley Russell, Miss Hazel Watford, Miss Margaret Harpster, Miss Florence Haines. The ushers were Miss Marian Brown, Miss Clara Curran, Miss Mary Elizabeth Jones, Miss Georgette Talbot, Miss Frances Hurst, Miss Josephine Parlipiano, Miss Gladys Cambron, Miss Della Hurley, Miss Carolyn Brown, Miss Genevieve Raum, and Miss Lillian Marmaduke. The pallbearers were: Ernest Goldsmith, George Bolt, George Keif, Charles Crockett, Herbert Allen, and Lynn Belcher. Interment was in charge of the McCarthy Undertaking Company.

Roland, a military funeral was held in Sacramento, Calif., for the two cadets who were fatally injured in the airplane collision near Mather Field last Saturday.

His death was greatly our loss as well as yours, for he was an excellent soldier, and fast becoming a valuable pilot in the air service. He has won a place of high esteem in the hearts of all of his comrades in flying at this field, and was rated as the kind of man we could depend on in the flying service. "He met his death in the line of duty and his services are as great as if he had died over the lines in France. A certain number of deaths are in evitable in the development of flying pilots, and the record of every man who loses his life in this way will be remembered.

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

Wolf, Osa Osa Wolf Pueblo Chieftain August 6, 1917 Man Found Injured Near Tracks; Dies Some mystery surrounds the accident which caused the death of Osa Wolf at the Minnequa Hospital yesterday morning. Wolf was found lying beside the Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks, 6 miles East of Pueblo Saturday morning, by the crew of Missouri Pacific passenger train, No. 1, and brought to Pueblo, reaching here at 11:50 o'clock. He was removed to the Minnequa Hospital in the United Undertaking Company ambulance and he died there about 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning. His skull had been crushed. How the man was injured probably will always be a mystery. Papers found on his person show that he was on his way to Springdale, Arkansas, and had government transportation. According to letters in his pocket, it is believed that he had joined the Army and had been summoned to join his regiment. It is thought that he had come from Montana and was in route to Springdale to visit his parents before joining his regiment. With this information available, the authorities are of the opinion that he fell off an eastbound Missouri Pacific train and was not found until the westbound train came along. The body is being cared for by the Davis Vories Undertaking Company awaiting instructions from relatives in Arkansas.

He came to Fort Hays in 1949 from Adams State College where he had been for eight years. Prior to teaching at Adams State, he served for ten years as a teacher, elementary principal, assistant high school principal and superintendent in Colorado public schools. His intention was to remain about three or four years in Hays, then move on. However, circumstances altered this goal as the position became more and more challenging each year, largely because of increased enrollment and favorable conditions for growth in Teacher Education programs. During the 25 years, 1949-1974, Clem witnessed Fort Hays becoming a recognized teacher education institution not only in Kansas, but in surrounding states and in the nation. By the time he retired, over 500 teachers were graduating annually. In addition , more than 60% of the superintendents in Kansas were master degree or Ed.

Locally he served as United Fund Chairman, President of Rotary Club and as Elder in the First Presbyterian Church. His peers have honored him by presenting him the Phi Delta Kappa Outstanding Achievement Award and by designating him as an Outstanding Educator of America. Dr. Wood is listed in several Who's Who publications and he was a member of numerous other professional and honorary organizations. Clem eventually focused his days on recreation which included a daily 18 holes of golf, gardening and travel. Some of his greatest pleasures came from visits with family, friends and the "Forum" (coffee group), who kept each others' minds active. Clem was born in 1909 in Carrollton, Illinois and grew up in Canon City, Colorado where he completed elementary and high school. He received all of his college education in Colorado institutions with the highest degree, Ed.D, being completed at the University of Colorado in 1951.

Born in Wiley, Colo., on April 10, 1927, Iola was the third child of Albert and Savola Schroeder. The family moved to Las Animas, Colo., in 1939, and she graduated from Bent County High School in 1943. She married Phillip "Jack" Woods on June 20, 1946, and they had three children, Jacque, Ron, and Kevin, who survive her. Their marriage ended in 1999, at which time she moved to Denver, where she found much joy in her involvement with Trinity United Methodist Church and the community at Windsor Gardens where she lived. At Windsor, she was president of the Symphony Guild and also served as a building rep. A self-taught musician, she was the organist for many years at the Methodist church in Las Animas, and brought comfort to many as she never turned down a request to serve in that capacity for weddings and funerals of acquaintances and strangers alike. In addition to her children, she is survived by eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren and her ex-husband. A grandson, Whitney Woods, predeceased her in 2000. Her passing, though sad, pales in comparison to the compassion and love for life she freely shared.

Woods, Victor Lee Victor Lee Woods - Colorado Springs Gazette - May 16, 1988 - Skull Found in Rye ID'd as That of Man Who Lived With Killer - Pueblo - A Colorado Springs man serving a life sentence for two murders was the roommate of a man whose skull was found in Rye a week ago, authorities said. The skull was identified as that of Paul Lawrence Vosika of Pueblo. Authorities say Vosika lived for an undetermined period of time with Ronald Lee White, 32, who pleaded guilty to two murders last month. Pueblo County Sheriff's Capt. Dan Corsentino said there are no suspects yet in the apparent murder of Vosika. Pueblo County authorities are trying to determine if the skull belongs to a torso found in Colorado City March 26. "When an identification comes back matching the torso to the skull, the department will be in a much better position to make a comment on the case," Corsentino said. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer was awaiting test results to see if the torso matches the skull. White confessed he began a nine-day crime rampage on Jan. 26, when he killed Colorado Springs bicycle salesman Victor Lee Woods, 31. Two days later, White robbed the Hampton Inn Hotel in Pueblo. He returned to the hotel Feb. 3 to rob it again, and shot and killed 26-year-old Raymond Allan Garcia, a clerk and night auditor from Boone. White also shot hotel guard Robert V. Martinez in the head, but Martinez survived. White was arrested outside his Alikar Gardens apartment, 1131 Verde Drive, on Feb. 3 by the Colorado Springs Police Tactical Enforcement Unit. White pleaded guilty in both slayings April 12 in a plea bargain made with El Paso and Pueblo counties and avoided the death penalty. He was sentenced to concurrent life sentences. He'll be eligible for parole in 40 years. Woods, W. E. (Mrs.) Mrs. W. E.

Woolsey - Pueblo Chieftain - June 12, 2011 - Charlotte J. Woolsey, 84, passed away on June 9, 2011, after fighting a courageous and long-standing battle with chronic leukemia. Charlotte was born on Feb. 24, 1927, to Charles and Amelia Woolsey of Pueblo, Colo. She would go on to graduate with honors from Centennial High School. Immediately following her matriculation, she went to work as a clerk for MONY Insurance Company. She would spend the next 38 years of her life as a dedicated and talented employee, remaining with the company even following its relocation to Colorado Springs. Charlotte became an office fixture, known for her accumulated knowledge, attention to detail, and near flawless attendance. Over the course of nearly 40 Colorado winters, Charlotte would never let sleet or snow deter her from her duties. Some days she would make the journey all the way from Pueblo, only to find that many of the local employees had not been so brave. On her last day in 1983, a top MONY agent paid for her to travel to and from home in the back of a limousine. To Charlotte, her professional excellence was not exceptional, but merely the expectation. While many described her as shy and reserved, Charlotte was known for her ability to form long, meaningful friendships with people from all walks of life. When she attended her 60th high school reunion in 2005, several attendees had been communicating with her since graduation. Charlotte also took her interest in people and applied it to charitable works. Following her retirement, she spent over a decade volunteering for the Meals on Wheels program, delivering hot nutritious meals to the ill and homebound. While she never sought plaudits or recognition, those she touched would say she had nothing but a heart of gold. In her spare time, Charlotte had an undying love of cats, owning several over the course of her life. She also enjoyed spending time with her siblings and regularly participating in activities at her parish. From family to friends to colleagues, everyone knew her by the warmth of her laugh, the modesty of her manner, and the dignity with which she lived. She is survived by her sister, Lenita L. Woolsey of Pueblo, Colo.; her brother, Leonard L. Woolsey and his wife, Brenda S. Woolsey of Littleton, Colo.; and her nephew, Fletcher L. Woolsey of Greenwood Village, Colo. She was preceded in death by her father, Charles F. Woolsey, and her mother, Amelia Woolsey.
