He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer P. Yaden Sr. and Ina (Silcox) Yaden; his brothers, Hoyle G. Yaden, James W. Yaden; and his sister, Barbara (Yaden) Ladner. He made his home in Pueblo except for short periods of time in other cities as result of his employment.

Elmer worked on the Missouri Pacific Railroad for many years. Then he decided to go back to college, where he earned a teacher's certificate and began employment as a teacher. He later became a high school principal and lastly superintendent of schools. He retired in 1986. When he started taking college courses, he found that his love of drafting that had begun in high school was re-ignited. He took many classes in the industrial arts and as he started teaching, these were the classes he enjoyed as a teacher. They also helped when later on he decided to remodel one house and actually build two houses. His greatest asset was his ability to laugh and make people feel welcome in his home. He will be missed.

Yaklich, Barbara Barbara Yaklich - Colorado Springs Gazette - May 13, 2006 - Panel: No Proof '77 Death Homicide - Investigation: Initial Inquiry Into Death of Pueblo Detective's Wife Faulty - The 1977 death of a Pueblo police detective's wife was suspicious, and the investigation into it was handled poorly, a panel of investigators found, but it has no proof the death was homicide. Pueblo County Sheriff Dan Corsentino on Friday announced the findings of a special task force he formed to look into the death of Barbara Yaklich. She was the first wife of detective Dennis Yaklich. Dennis Yaklich was killed in 1985 by two teenagers hired by his second wife, Donna Yaklich. Donna Yaklich, whose case brought national headlines and inspired a 1994 made-for-TV movie, claimed her husband had abused her. She also told a psychologist hired by her attorney that Dennis implied he'd had a part in Barbara's death and could kill her, too, and make it look like an accident. Barbara Yaklich's death was ruled an accident when the coroner determined she fainted from taking diet pills and her husband inadvertently caused liver damage while trying to resuscitate her. The case was reopened last year when a Denver television station asked two forensic pathologists to review the findings, and they concluded the damage could have been done by a punch to the stomach. The team of investigators appointed by Corsentino determined the death was suspicious but not conclusively a homicide. They were hampered by the fact that Pueblo police did not do a complete investigation. There was no indication that witnesses were interviewed. "This case needed some good, basic and old-fashioned police work," said the head of the team, Steve Johnson, of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The team noted they found no evidence of collusion or a cover-up by police at the time. Lacking more information from 1977, the investigators were forced to leave the case how they received it: open. "The team leaves the case open for anyone that can provide additional information that may lead them to finally bringing this case to a close," the Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Donna Yaklich was released from prison to a halfway house last fall after serving 18 years of a 40-year prison sentence. Yaklich, Dennis Dennis Yaklich - Pueblo Chieftain - October 25, 1999 - Our Past Century, 1984 - 1985 - Pueblo Economy Begins Recovery - The year (1985) ended in tragedy, as Pueblo narcotics officer Dennis Yaklich was gunned down in the driveway of his Avondale home on Dec. 12. Yaklich had returned home early from a shift, and was hit at least four times. Police looked in vain for suspects, and District Attorney Gus Sandstrom revealed a list of several Pueblo lawmen who were allegedly also targeted for death - including Sandstrom himself. In early 1986, one of Yaklich's assailants, Charles Greenwell told acquaintances about his part in the assassination. He quickly confessed on Feb. 26, 1986, and told of a murder-for-hire plot hatched by Yaklich's wife, Donna. She offered Charles and his brother, Eddie, about $50,000 each for shooting her husband, claiming he had abused her often. Charles Greenwell is now doing 20 years; his older brother, Eddie, is doing 30 years because he plotted the murder for a year with Donna Yaklich. She was arrested in March 1986 when she returned to Pueblo from a Jamaican vacation, and received a 40-year prison sentence after her conviction for conspiracy to commit murder in July 1988 in one of Pueblo's most sensational trials ever. Pueblo Chieftain - July 12, 2006 - Yaklich denied parole in 1985 slaying - Donna Yaklich, convicted of hiring two men to kill her husband, Pueblo police detective Dennis Yaklich, was denied parole Tuesday. - KUSA-TV reported late Tuesday that Yaklich was denied parole after spending close to a year living in a halfway house in Arapahoe County. She can apply for parole again in three years. Yaklich hired two men to kill her husband in 1985. She was found guilty and sentenced to 40 years in prison. She was released to community corrections and a halfway house last year. Her attorney, Phil Cherner, has argued the murder was a result of domestic abuse. "The parole board was afraid to do the right thing," Cherner said Tuesday. Cherner says Yaklich will consider other options, but in the meantime, she will keep working at her job and live in the halfway house. Edward "Eddie" Greenwell, 45, has served 19 years of a 30-year prison term after pleading guilty to second-degree murder for the shooting death of Dennis Yaklich. Greenwell is expected to be released from prison no later than April 2010. His brother, Charles Greenwell, 36, was released from prison in November 2003. He had served 18 years of a 20-year prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Dennis Yaklich was gunned down by the Greenwell brothers on Dec. 12, 1985, in the driveway of his Avondale home. Donna Yaklich, now 51, was granted her release from prison in October. Pueblo Chieftain - August 30, 2006 - Yaklich killer given 16 years for assault - Convicted murderer Charles Greenwell, who took part in the 1985 slaying of a Pueblo narcotics detective, on Tuesday was sentenced to a new 16-year prison term on a second-degree assault case. Greenwell, 37, was convicted of the new assault charge earlier this month after a jury found him guilty of hitting Alan Rogers, 59, in Florence in March. The incident occurred because of a dispute over an antique table Rogers was refinishing for Greenwell's wife, Cynthia Greenwell. Greenwell was 16 when he initially was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his part in the murder of Dennis Yaklich. Greenwell and his brother, Eddie Greenwell, who remains in prison, ambushed Yaklich on Dec. 12, 1985. The brothers used .12-gauge shotguns to kill the detective in the driveway of his Avondale home as part of a murder-for-hire plot devised by Yaklich's wife, Donna, who remains incarcerated at a halfway house. Although Charles Greenwell was released from prison two years ago and completed parole, he had recently been arrested twice for alleged assaults on both Rogers and Cynthia Greenwell. "You ambush people from behind - where is the pride in that?" said Linda Rogers, the victim's wife, during the sentencing hearing. "Soon you will be back in prison and others will be safe from you." Rogers told Greenwell the defendant bushwhacked him just as the Vietnam vet had been treated by the enemy during the war. "You broke the sanctity of my home for no reason," Rogers said. "(Rogers) could have died and for what - a stupid table. I am angry, hurt and disgusted," said Chantel Lynch, Rogers' daughter. Public Defender Daniel Zettler tried to delay sentencing for Greenwell based on a pending motion for new trial, a request that was denied. Zettler presented letters on behalf of Greenwell, including a plea for leniency signed by the Avondale neighbors of his parents, Tom and Ida Greenwell. Zettler urged a lenient sentenced based on the fact that there was no weapon proven to be used, there was no proof of the victim received more than one blow and based on Greenwell's medical condition which includes Hepatitis C and HIV which he said will dramatically shorten Greenwell's life span. Assistant District Attorney Kathy Eberling pushed for the maximum 16-year sentence based on Greenwell's history. "Mr. Greenwell ambushed Mr. Rogers the same way he ambushed Dennis Yaklich. You can consider his entire criminal history and the fact that he assaulted a 59-year-old man who is blind in one eye over a lousy $50 table," Eberling said. Judge Julie Marshall sentenced Greenwell to 16 years in prison plus a three-year period of parole. "The letters I have speak more about your parents than they do about you. You brought trouble to their doorstep when you were 16 and you continue to bring trouble to their doorstep," Marshall said. Pueblo Chieftain - August 4, 2008 - Murder trials for women are rare in Pueblo County - Recent conviction of a homeless woman the first murder trial of a female since Yaklich case in 1980s. - Twenty years passed between their trials, and the circumstances of their cases further separate Donna Yaklich's case and Georgia Lufkins'. Yet they have something significant in common: They were the last two women to roll the dice by going to trial on murder charges in Colorado's 10th Judicial District in Pueblo. Members of the defense bar, prosecutors, judges and other venerable lawyers could not recollect another woman going to trial on a charge of murder between Yaklich's trial and Lufkins'. Yaklich, now 53, was charged with first-degree murder, but was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder for the 1985 murder-for-hire shooting death of her husband, Pueblo police Detective Dennis Yaklich, by brothers Edward and Charles Greenwell. She was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Two years ago, she was released from prison to a halfway house in the Denver area. Lufkins, 50, also was charged with first-degree murder. Last month, she was convicted of the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Lufkins, who was homeless, was accused along with a male codefendant of slashing the throat of Raymond "Blueman" Franklin, 57, who also was homeless. Lufkins faces 23 to 48 years in prison. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 25. Plenty of women have been charged with murder in Pueblo County during the two-decade span between trials. Most of those cases involved child abuse or domestic violence. Some resulted in dismissal of charges on grounds that the homicides committed by women were justifiable self-defense. Others reached plea agreements before going to trial. During the past year, Pueblo prosecutors have twice ruled the homicides of men by women as justifiable self-defense and dismissed charges against the women. Both were instances of domestic violence. A third woman who already had served four years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the slaying of her last boyfriend saw charges dismissed for a knife fight with her new boyfriend that took place within days of her release from prison. During the past year, one man who committed a homicide in Pueblo was not charged because prosecutors said he acted justifiably. District Attorney Bill Thiebaut said every case is assessed on its individual merits, taking into consideration the likelihood of conviction based on the facts in evidence. Sometimes, he said, those facts warrant dismissal of a case, or pleading it out. "There's a practical side to every decision that's made," Thiebaut said. "Sometimes there's no choice but to proceed to trial. When there's a female defendant, it's really not that different than dealing with a male."Thiebaut acknowledged that more men are charged with murder than women in Pueblo and elsewhere, so it makes sense that men would take more cases to trial. But as for the phenomenon that just two women have taken their homicide cases all the way to trial, he had no explanation. "Circumstances regarding a case, including whether the defendant is a woman, a man, young or elder - those are circumstances a prosecutor must consider in order to try a case," Thiebaut said. "But we certainly don't prosecute or avoid prosecuting because of their gender." Denver defense lawyer Phil Cherner represented Yaklich during her request to leave prison for a halfway house. He said it's been his experience that women who are charged with murder tend to find themselves in abusive relationships that bolster their claims of self-defense. He said that sometimes provides a caveat that leverages plea offers from prosecutors reluctant to test their luck with a jury. "Compared to the population of men that face murder-one charges, more women are in a position to claim self defense," Cherner said. "Self-defense, if it's a viable claim, can make a big difference in a homicide. More often, we have self-defense claims when the defendant's a woman, at least in my practice over the years. I'm not sure why that is." The similarities between Yaklich's case and Lufkins' end with their gender. Yaklich's trial was a media circus. The case made national headlines and inspired a made-for TV movie starring former "Charlie's Angels" star Jaclyn Smith. Lufkins, on the other hand, was tried in a vacuum, with nobody present to support her. Aside from the jury and those in the room who were paid to be there, no one watched.Pueblo Chieftain - July 16, 2009 - Yaklich parole hearing - A woman convicted of hiring two hit men in 1985 to kill her husband, a Pueblo narcotics detective, might be closer to parole. Donna Yaklich made a request this week for parole. Her request will be advanced to the full parole board at its next monthly meeting. She was denied parole in 2006. Yaklich was convicted of second-degree murder in the shotgun slaying of her husband, Dennis Yaklich, outside his home in Avondale near Pueblo. She claimed her husband abused her. The slaying by two teenagers hired by Yaklich inspired a 1994 TV movie. Yaklich served 21 years of a 40-year prison sentence before her release to a halfway house and intense supervision program. She wears an ankle bracelet. Pueblo Chieftain - September 9, 2012 - Yaklich murder figure arrested - A convicted killer was arrested Friday, along with his wife, for reportedly stealing copper pipe from homes on the East Side. Charles Allen Greenwell, 43, and Charla Beaird, 41, were arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary. Greenwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the 1986 slaying of Pueblo police narcotic detective Dennis Yaklich. Greenwell and his brother were hired to kill the detective by his wife, Donna Yaklich. In 2006, Greenwell was sentenced to a 16-year prison sentence for second-degree assault and was released early.

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

Sen. Joe McCarthy, R-Wis., was making daily accusations that particular federal employees, college professors and Hollywood writers were communists and aiding the Soviet Union in learning the secrets of the atomic bomb. The war of words, however, exploded into real bullets on June 25 when North Korea sent its armies into South Korea. Caught by surprise, Truman rushed underequipped and inexperienced U.S. troops to Korea and into war again. For Pueblo veterans, Korea meant the likelihood of being recalled to combat. The Chieftain reported on June 26 that there were 89,000 draft eligible men in the state, including 28,000 World War II veterans. The North Korean army, however, ground up the United Nations forces thrown at it that summer and it didn't take long for Pueblo to start suffering casualties. On Aug. 20, Army Pvt. Eddie Yengich was reported missing. (He was killed in action.)

Young, Don Don Young - Denver Post - April 21, 2007 - A forester, Young did all he could for nature - Don Young, who died last month at age 90, spent much of his life working to preserve nature. When he was in his 80s, he built a mile-long nature trail, hauling the rocks and marking every plant along the path, a daughter-in-law said. (The Denver Post) - Don Young did almost everything to preserve nature, whether it was dressing as Smokey Bear for parades or picking up aluminum cans on every outing. Young, who died March 21 at age 90, was a district forester and liked to describe himself as a "teacher in a large classroom without walls." He died in the Caρon City home where he and his wife, Joanne Young, had lived in since 1955. Young loved to camp, hike, photograph and learn everything he could about the outdoors. Even in his 80s "he could name every plant and flower and tree," said his son Jerry Fitzgerald of Denver. Young was "devoted to his job and helping other people," said C.K. Morey of La Veta, who worked for Young and later succeeded him. The state forestry department is funded by both the state and federal governments, Morey said. The job includes tree planting, monitoring for diseased trees, and getting trees pruned or removed if need be. The forester also helps people understand fire protection, works with fire commands to train and equip firefighters and works with landowners on forest management. Young never lost interest. When he was in his 80s, he built a mile-long nature trail, hauling the rocks and marking every plant along the way, said his daughter-in-law JoVonne Fitzgerald of Denver.

That was interrupted by World War II, when he served in the Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He earned a Silver Star. He married Joanne Fitzgerald in 1945. Young earned his forestry degree at CSU, worked as the 4-H agent in Adams County and headed the first state forestry office, which was in Caρon City. His territory was half the state.

While attending the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Lillian met and married Edgar Pugh and in 1930, welcomed her first child, Edgar Donald. Her husband's early death in 1932 and the Great Depression depleted family funds and Lillian opened her own beauty shop to support herself, her son and her mother-in-law. In doing so, Lillian demonstrated core characteristics of strength, determination and courage seen throughout the rest of her life. Eight years later, Lillian married Lester Eugene Young and became a full-time homemaker when daughter Lois Francine was born in 1940 followed by Lawrence Allen in 1945. Lillian was actively involved in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, worked on family genealogies, and participated with Lester in sailboat racing and archery. She provided frequent social events in her home for Lester's business acquaintances both in Cincinnati and in Dayton, Ohio, where they relocated in 1961. Lillian and Lester retired to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in 1973 where they lived for five years on a 36-foot motorized sail boat. When they moved to a condominium, the couple continued to sail in American waters and on friend's boats around the world. In 1987, they moved to Francine's property in the mountains of Oakhurst, Calif. At age 83, Lillian chose to become the primary caretaker of Lester as he succumbed to a fatal illness over a period of six months, further demonstrating life-long qualities of courage and strength. Now alone, she focused on her Biblical research of topics she wanted to understand better, handwriting volumes of verses she shared with family and many friends. She moved to Parker in 1999 to be close to her son Larry and daughter-in law Kathy, who lovingly watched over her needs and welfare. Her last move was to Trinidad, where Larry and Kathy had moved. She continued her Biblical writings and her life story. She loved to entertain and cook for others and gave away untold numbers of pecan pies. She was known for her generosity, bombastic enthusiasm and appreciation of the little things of life and what others did for her.

She was a consistent member of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church and an active worker in the Women's Guild; also she was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Pueblo Chieftain October 22, 1919 Death of Mrs. Young Causes Much Grief in the Community The death of Mrs. William (Minnie) Young, wife of the esteemed Superintendent of the Union Depot came as a matter of deep grief to all her friends, of which she had a wide circle. She had been in failing health for several months, and on Sunday the 12th inst., was suddenly stricken down, becoming unconscious from which she did not recover until the end came peacefully on Saturday night last at 11:15. Mrs. Young was born at Aurora, Ill., on September 28, 1874, and has resided in Pueblo since 1891. She was the third child of Mr. John M. Woods, deceased, and Mrs. Luella A. Woods formerly a resident of Pueblo, now residing in Los Angeles, Calif. Besides her mother, she leaves two brothers, F. A. Woods of Pueblo, and W. D. Woods of Los Angeles, as well as her husband and young son, William. As long as her health permitted, she was constantly doing for others. Generous to a fault, no one appealed to her in vain when help was needed. This is one of her many Christian virtues. She was a devoted wife and mother, always putting first things first. As a member of the Episcopal Church she was at all times a willing worker in St. Elizabeth Guild of Holy Trinity. She was deeply interested in all parish activities. Her loss to the church is a real one. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, and while able, she gave of her time and means to the work of that organization. That she was highly esteemed in the community, and loved by those who had the privilege of knowing her intimately, was attested to by the representative congregation which gathered in Holy Trinity Church this afternoon to pay their last loving tribute of respect to her memory. The service was simple and dignified, conducted by the Rev. A. P. Mack, Rector, and at the grave the members of the Eastern Star rendered their last rights. The flower bearers, who were members of the Eastern Star were Mesdames: J. M. Meals, Y. Smith, D. Cramer, George Roe, P. Lane, and M. J. Walsh. The honorary pall bearers were: Messrs. J. H. Nuckolls, J. M. Jackson, H. M. VanDyke, C. W. Climenson, J. Long, R. T. McCormick, and the active pallbearers were: W. L. Stone, William Grisard, J. M. Meals, Noah Swartz, J. H. Gillman, and Elliott Ray. It is needless to add that the heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out to Mr. Young and his boy, also to the mother and brothers. A respected and worthy citizen has gone to her rest, and the community is the better for having known her.

McDonald at Garden City, Kansas, October 29.

She never became herself after that but gradually grew weaker. Mrs. Young was a resident of Pueblo and before going on to the homestead she had been conducting a rooming house over Ben Bergerman's store.
