Together they raised five children in the Midwestern farm tradition eventually settling in on Walker Road in Yorkville were Joyce thrived creating a beautiful home and garden for her family. From perennial flowers, fresh garden veggies, to the simple overwhelming large lush crop of green lawn, Joyce was a master gardener we all strive to be. Helping Joel with the farm animals was a daily event. Her special talent was nanny to the tender piglets that needed just that extra care. Sewing craft brought joy to others in the way of family heirlooms and tag sale finds, stylish clothing, Barbie clothes and quilts to be treasured long into the future. Her hours of canning and preserving were a way of life but are now remembered as sweet treasures of the past. Throughout her life Joyce worked outside of the home in the local pharmacy, hardware and nursing home. The skills she learned outside the home only strengthened her ability to care for others throughout her life. In her final time she related to those that cared for her detailed remembrances of her days as a caregiver. In 2001 Joyce and Joel moved to Trinidad, Colorado to start the last great adventure of their life. Moving near their oldest daughter Rhonda, who later became her caretaker, they built a treasured mountain home with a new kind of yard that included high mountain plants, wildlife, rocks and vistas. They made new friends and had new experiences. Now together again Joel and Joyce are on to the ultimate adventure. Joyce’s love, endless strength, and enduring elegance and wry wit will be remembered by all that survive her including children, Rhonda Olin, Joel (Renate) Hage, Shelley (Michael) Geers, Michael (Sharyn) Hage, and Missy (Eric Hufstetler) Hage; her grandchildren, Derik (Trish) Olin, Nicole (fiancée, Dean Tambling) Russell, Josh Ewing, Jason Ewing, Casey Jo Hage, Ryan Geers, Adam (Erica) Geers, Heather (John) Delgado, Jessica (Bob) Diaz, Simone Hage, Britney Hage, Jamie Hage, Trent Hufstetler, Larissa Hufstetler, and Macayla Hufstetler; also 14 great-grandchildren; special friends, Mona Borrego, Dan Veverka, Mike and Rhonda Taillon.

Hagler, Isabell J.
Isabell J. Hagler – Walsenburg World – September 5, 1912 – In Memoriam – Mrs. Isabell J. Hagler, died at the home of her son, C. B. Hawkins, August 24, 1912, at the ripe age of 71 years, 10 months and 14 days. Mrs. Hager was born October 10, 1830 at Eaton, Pueblo County, Ohio, and was married to Joseph M. Hawkins, January 7, 1849. From this union 14 children were born, seven of whom lived to be grown, while but two are now living, Mrs. Ruth T. Decker and Mr. C. B. Hawkins. Later, Mrs. Hager was married to Rev. Peter Hagler. About 25 years ago Mrs. Hager came to Colorado where she has since made her home. Adhering to the faith of her fathers, she united with the Baptist Church early in life and loved to attend services when health permitted. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of this city. Impressive services were held at the home Sunday by Rev. J. A. McKee, after which all that was mortal of this beloved mother was conveyed to Gardner, Colorado, Monday, where Rev. Hicklin preached the funeral services before the remains were laid to rest in the Gardner Cemetery. Vain is the attempt to measure the loss of a mother to her children. After all the poets have sung and lovers dreamed outside of heaven, there is no love like mother love; a love so unchanging that it passeth human understanding. We believe the tender care devoted to those nearest and dearest went with her to the better land, and in the possibilities of eternity may be needed hereafter. We fancy her awaiting them in the place prepared for her, a little apart from the innumerable company – a place prepared for mothers especially; perhaps in one of the “Palaces of ivory, its windows crystal clear,” of which old Bonar quaintly sung. In the light, not of the sun, neither of the moon, we see her beyond the fields of fadeless asphodel, under the waving palms, beside the still waters bordered with silver lilies. These may be merely figures, but yearning hearts made for the deep household loves; hearts that will not be comforted because the best of our earthly possession has passed to the Great Beyond.

Mrs. Hamilton was born and reared in Walsenburg, being, so far as known the first American child born in the town. She was born on May 9, 1875, and lived here until the time of her marriage, in January, 1899, to Mr. Albertus Hamilton, a railroad man, who took his bride to Pueblo, where they have since resided. Bell Arnold, as she was familiarly known, was one of the most popular of the young set of the town a decade ago. She was vivacious and openhearted, the life of nearly all social events. Besides her husband, two children survive her, Elsie and Brittain. The body was brought to Walsenburg Sunday for burial and funeral services were held from the home of Mr. Adolph Unfug on Monday afternoon. In attendance at the funeral were Mrs. Hamilton’s mother, Mrs. M. R. Arnold of Pueblo and the sisters, Mrs. Emma C.

To her the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubled dream she has awakened to see life’s endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the fast throng of loved ones, missed from earth, safe about her. Her home instincts were strong here in this fevered world of disappointment. Her affection for friends and kindred was tender and abiding. Gone out of our sight, but because life and love are stronger than death, she is ours still. She is still the mother of her dear children, upon whom she doted with much clinging fondness, and the companion still of him who mourns earth’s greatest loss, and may she not by this transition wield over them a stronger force for goodness and truth than before.

Hamm was riding on his Harley Davidson motorcycle going to visit his girlfriend late at night on June 15, 1991. Hamm was traveling down West Arroyo Avenue near the Colorado State Fairgrounds around 11:10 p.m. on the warm summer night and stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of West Arroyo and Beulah Avenue. As he was about to turn onto Beulah, Hamm was shot multiple times. He died the next morning, 12 hours after the shooting, at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center. According to police reports examined by The Pueblo Chieftain at the time of the shooting, Hamm was shot by a passing motorist with a 12-gauge shotgun. “The shooting happened at 11:09 p.m. that night of June 15,” Andy McLachlan, a deputy chief with the Pueblo Police Department said. “The gunman came from behind, and, I don’t know how many times exactly he was shot but it was multiple shotgun rounds and most of those rounds were to the head.” The Chieftain reported that Hamm’s son, James C. Hamm, who was 23 at the time, was the first person to reach his father after he was shot. James C. Hamm told police he was at a home on the 1900 block of West Arroyo when he saw the motorcycle go past, not realizing that the rider was his dad. James C. Hamm said he heard six or seven rapid gunshots and saw the motorcyclist go down. He ran to the scene to help the victim and found that it was his father. James C. Hamm refused to comment to The Chieftain at the time. Witnesses in the area and James C. Hamm reported seeing a “plain” tan Bronco follow behind the motorcycle and saw the Bronco head north on Beulah. Later reports indicated that the suspect’s vehicle could’ve also been a tan Chevy Blazer. A witness who was making a delivery for Sam and Ray’s Pizza said a lot of people had gathered at the scene since a monster truck show at the Colorado State Fairgrounds just ended. “It’s kind of weird that there were so many spectators around who didn’t see anything,” the man was quoted as saying. The shotgun that was used to kill Hamm or the vehicle the suspect or suspects were driving weren’t located. According to a Chieftain story, James A. Hamm worked at School District 60. He was described as a model employee who performed his job well by the then-District 60 associate superintendent. Police received second- and third-hand information on any possible enemies Hamm might have made during its investigation. “We haven’t found anybody who disliked him enough to kill him,” Crowell was quoted as saying. McLachlan, who was working the streets as an officer with the PPD in 1991 but wasn’t called to the scene the night of Hamm’s death, said police have never been able to establish a solid motive in the killing. “We’ve had numerous tips that it was this or that and numerous names have been thrown at us over the years that we’ve chased down to try and establish some involvement, and nothing has ever panned out on any of those investigations,” he said. “A hard, fast motive, we’ve never got one. No arrests have ever been made. Everyone that has been named to us through Crime Stoppers or some sort of a tip that we’ve investigated, none of it has come through that we could prove they were involved in it.” Hamm’s case is one the PPD has taken a second look at recently but nothing new has come from it yet. “We look at some cases and say, ‘Science has improved, is there something in the case we can send to a lab and tell something from it?’?’’ McLachlan said. “A lot of the cold cases in the 80s and 90s, although this one is not a DNA case, there are other advancements we can go and look at and maybe come up with a determination or some other information to follow up on.”

Hammond, Mary
Mary Hammond - Chronicle News - February 14, 2007 - Multi-vehicle accidents result in fatality on I-25 - The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a multiple-vehicle, fatal crash that occurred yesterday at approximately 9 a.m.. The crash occurred on Interstate 25 near milepost 37, about 15 miles south of Walsenburg, Colorado. A 2007 Freightliner tractor-trailer, driven by 23-year-old Christina Cousin, of Girard, Illinois, was northbound on the icy area of Interstate 25 and was traveling under heavy fog. All of the traffic ahead of Cousin was stopped due to a previous traffic crash. According to the report released by CSP Trooper Scott Hophan, Cousin was going too fast for the existing conditions and was unable to stop for the traffic stopped ahead. The tractor-trailer collided with several other vehicles including a 2001 Hyundai Elantra, driven by 62-year-old Mary Hammond, of Aguilar, Colorado.. Hammond was not wearing her seatbelt and was killed in the crash. Cousin and two other people involved in the crash were transported to Spanish Peaks Medical Center with minor to moderate injuries. All of the parties who were transported were treated and released. Cousin was taken to the Las Animas County Jail and charged with Careless Driving, Caused Death. According to Colorado State Patrol Troop 2D Sgt. Mercier, the initial accident involved a semi-car carrier that “plugged up the road when it got sideways.” As the CSP, assisted by other area agencies, attempted to slow traffic approaching that area, an unmarked vehicle driven by Walsenburg Sheriff Bruce Newman, which was stopped with its emergency lights on, warning traffic, was rear-ended by a US Mail semi-truck being driven by Paul Robinson, 51, of Aurora. “I saw it coming and ran for the ditch,” Newman said. “It’s just a mess,” he said yesterday, following the morning’s accidents. The sheriff ’s vehicle was totaled due to the crash, and slid off the east side of the road. Robinson’s semi-truck sustained heavy damage to the front end. The mail truck continued out of control, sliding sideways, striking two other trucks that were stopped in traffic with the rear of its trailer. The two trucks sustained minor damage to their trailers. The back doors of the mail truck were torn off during the second impact, and the truck slid off the east side of the road, coming to rest on its wheels. During the crash, the fuel saddle tanks ruptured, resulting in a loss of an estimated 200 gallons of diesel fuel. State Patrol Haz-Mat was notified, and the spill was contained prior to contaminating a nearby water source. The U.S. Postmaster was also notified, and agents from the Postal Service arrived and took custody of the mail. Sgt. Mercier estimated the number of vehicles involved in accidents early yesterday morning as approximately 12. Interstate 25 was closed between mile markers 18 (El Moro Road) and 49 (Highway 160) yesterday for approximately six hours due to the area crashes.. Colorado State troopers said road conditions were icy and snow packed and visibility was very bad in that area due to fog and blowing snow.

The crash happened just before 11 p.m. Officers on scene learned that a blue Subaru traveling west bound on Thatcher, at a high rate of speed, lost control into oncoming lanes and collided head on with a silver Cadillac. The Subaru driver, Taner Hammond, 22, died at the scene. The 39-year-old unidentified male driver of the silver Cadillac was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries.

At the investigation Thursday night, the white vehicle was not on-site and witnesses said it had left the accident scene and returned momentarily, only to flee again. Among them was Frankie Carrero, who said he and his female companion had been in their home down the street when they were frightened by the sound of the crash. “We were just watching TV. We heard a loud bang. It sounded like a bomb,” he said. Moments later, he and his neighbors were rushing to the scene of twisted vehicles and emergency responders. Carrero said it was the first accident he’d seen at the intersection after living nearby for about a year. The investigation of the accident is ongoing.

Eugene Hampton - Chronicle News - January 5, 2005 - Heavy equipment accident results in fatality - The Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office reported to a call on Sunday, January 2, at 1:25 p.m., four miles southwest of County Road 41.1, in the Burro Canyon area. Jeff Kimberlin was waiting for them. Kimberlin stated that he was working approximately a half a mile away from the accident site when he heard the back-up alarm of a bulldozer sounding constantly. As he approached the source of the sound, he looked over the side of the road and observed the bulldozer on its side. Eugene Hampton, of Weston, Kimberlin’s step-father, was discovered pinned under the bulldozer. Hampton had reportedly been doing a re-seeding project for Pioneer Resources when apparently the ground, which had been frozen as a result of recent storms and low temperatures, softened as it thawed and became unstable. The ground then gave way, causing the bulldozer to slide toward the drop-off and turn over. It appeared that Hampton was not wearing a seatbelt and that he panicked while the vehicle slid downhill, then attempted to escape through the door. Hampton was pronounced dead as a result of internal injuries at the scene of the accident by the Las Animas County Coroner.

Hamula, Jennifer
Jennifer Marie Hamula - Pueblo Chieftain - August 17, 2017 - Officials: Pueblo West woman shot daughter, dogs, herself - The deaths of a mother and daughter in Pueblo West have been determined to be the result of a murder-suicide, according to an update that the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office provided about the investigation Thursday afternoon. According to the sheriff’s office, circumstances and evidence indicate Jennifer Hamula, 42, shot her daughter Stephie Hamula, 10, in a home on the 1000 block of Mescal Drive before turning the gun on herself. Prior to that, Jennifer Hamula also apparently shot and killed two dogs in the home. Stephie Hamula died from multiple gunshot wounds and Jennifer Hamula died from a single gunshot wound, autopsies conducted on Wednesday revealed. “Overwhelming evidence indicates the mother and daughter were the only two individuals in the home at the time of the shooting,” Sheriff Kirk Taylor said Thursday in a statement regarding the investigation. The sheriff’s office said interviews with Jennifer Hamula’s estranged spouse as well as other family members have been conducted and that no evidence exists to believe there is any other involvement related to the scene. The mother and daughter were found dead Monday afternoon after a family member called requesting that deputies conduct a welfare check at the residence. According to the sheriff’s office, a family member had gone to the home to check on the mother and daughter and found one of the dead dogs inside the house, so the family member then left the home and called the sheriff’s office. Deputies then responded and found Jennifer and Stephie Hamula dead inside the home, as well as the two dogs. It’s unclear at this time when the incident happened and how long the bodies had been inside the residence before being discovered. A search warrant for the house was granted and executed Monday night and sheriff’s office detectives worked with officials from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the coroner’s office throughout the night and into Tuesday investigating the incident and processing the scene. Jennifer Hamula was a correctional officer with the Colorado Department of Corrections and had been employed there since October 1997, a DOC official said. She was working at the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City most recently. Investigators with the sheriff’s office continue to work with the coroner and CBI on the investigation. Results of additional forensic testing is expected to take weeks to complete, the sheriff’s office said. Pueblo Chieftain - August 27, 2017 - Jennifer Hamula, 42, passed away Aug. 14, 2017. Survived by her mother, Deborah (Jim) Shadix; father, Richard (Karol) Perkins; step-brothers, Dale (Melissa) Marshall and David (Nanci) Marshall of Oceanside, Calif.; grandmother, Shirley Ruggieri; uncle, Jim (Carol) Ruggieri; aunts, Patty Hegler, Sharon Ruggieri and Dee Cook; uncles, Michael Ruggieri and Dennis (Diane) Perkins; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and Mike Woodward of California.

Harding, George Lester
George Lester Harding – Walsenburg World – December 16, 1909 – George Lester Harding was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1847, of English parentage. He accompanied his parents to America when he was 14 years of age. The family settled in Sturgis, Michigan. Here he received his early education and learned the trade of chair making. After completing the high school at Sturgis, he attended the State University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, from which institution he graduated in 1874 with a degree of M. A. After leaving the university he took up teaching as his profession, first in Mishawaka, Indiana, later he went to Minnesota for a year; upon his return he taught various schools in northern Indiana and southern Michigan. While located in Ligonier, Indiana, he married Alice Stansbury. At Benton, Michigan, a daughter, Eva, was born, now Mrs. P. J. Gallaher of Raton, New Mexico. At Middlebury, Indiana, several years later, another daughter, Mildred, was born. A few years later the family moved to Longmont, Colorado, where Mr. Harding was for some time superintendent of schools; from which position he was elected to the County Superintendency of Boulder County, which office he held for six years. He left Boulder to go to Breckenridge, Colorado, from there he went east for a few years, returning to Colorado as Superintendent of Schools at Delta, Colorado, later of DeBeque and in the fall of 1908 came to Walsenburg, where he remained until the day of his death, December 1, 1909. Prof. Harding was a man of strong active mine, and splendid personality. He was popular with his students and of statewide reputation as an organizer and instructor. Everyone who knew him admired and loved him. He was never so happy as when with his family, and it is here that he will be most greatly missed. Among his friends he filled a place which nothing else can fill. He was always so optimistic, so kind, so keen of mind, so interesting, so loyal, that to know him was to love him. He was made a Mason at Middlebury, Indiana, but upon coming to Colorado he became a member of Boulder Lodge at Boulder, Colorado, to which city the remains were taken for interment.

Harding, Hazel
Hazel Harding – Walsenburg World – December 24, 1908 – The body of Miss Hazel Harding was found dead in the Longnecker Building at Trinidad about 3 o’clock Monday afternoon by the housekeeper who had become alarmed at the failure of the girl to arise. The young lady had committed suicide by drinking 2 ounces of laudanum, although no motive has been ascribed for the deed. The girl was an orphan and for several years had been making her home with the family of Superintendent Thomas Jolly of Primero, all of whom were well known in Walsenburg. She left her home Sunday evening, buying a round-trip ticket to Trinidad with the intention of doing some Christmas shopping. There was every indication that the suicide was carefully planned. The young lady secured two bottles of laudanum at two different drugstores and then rented the room, although it was her usual custom when in Trinidad to stay with friends.

Harding, Tom
Tom Harding – Walsenburg World – September 1, 1905 – Probably Fatal Accident – Tom Harding, a Rio Grande employee, was the victim of a mysterious accident sometime Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. He was picked up lying beside the railroad track between here and Cuchara by a Colorado & Southern train crew early Wednesday morning and brought to town for treatment. The man was badly injured and unconscious and the most plausible theory is that he fell from a train, although it was at first stated that he had been the victim of a holdup. Doctors Maguire and Lester dressed the man’s injuries and yesterday he was sent to the hospital at Colorado Springs, but there is very little hope of his recovery. Harding had been employed on the D & RG bridge gang west of town. He has a brother living at Aspen who has been notified of his condition.

Harper, Mr.
Mr. Harper – Walsenburg World – November 21, 1901 – Bad Accident – A serious accident occurred at Bowen last evening that resulted in the death of a colored man named Harper and the probable fatal injury of an old gentleman named James Miller, a miner. The accident occurred on the 1,800 foot tramway. Miller was walking down the tram and was near the bottom when he was struck by a car that had gotten away from its moorings above. Harper was on the car and was crushed to death when it struck the bottom. Mr. Miller is at the hospital suffering from injuries which it is thought will prove fatal. His right leg was cut off, his left arm broken and skull fractured. He is 56 years of age and was living with a son at Bowen. His wife is in Illinois. We could learn nothing about Harper except that he was employed at the mine. The accident was caused by the breaking of a rope which held the cars before they were started down the tramway, which is very steep, a 56% grade. The coroner will investigate who was responsible.

Harr, T. E.
T. E. Harr – Walsenburg World – February 14, 1918 – Double Tragedy – Secundino Gonzales, T. E. Harr Dead As Result of Gun Play – As a result of a bootleg whiskey drunk last Monday night, February 11, Secundino Gonzales, the printer at the Independent office, and T. E. Harr, who was figured in bootlegging operations before this, are both dead. It appears that a bunch of men were drinking bootleg whiskey at the Harr residence, which is the old Tom Sproul place on upper Seventh Street just this side of Walsen mine. A quarrel ensued and Harr pulled a gun. It was taken away from him and he went out of the room but returned with a .30 – .30 Winchester. In the melee or purposely, Gonzales was shot in the right arm with the Winchester, the bullet entering the arm lengthways shattering the entire length of the bone. Gonzales drew his gun with his left hand and shot Harr in the heart killing him instantly. Gonzales was taken to the hospital at Pueblo. He got to the city but died while being taken in the ambulance from the depot to the hospital. Gonzales is known as a gun man, and a short time previous to this shot a town officer in the leg. He was out on bond for this assault. He was accustomed to display his big canon revolver at all times and was a most pernicious troublemaker when he had had his after-work drink of whiskey. Yet he was permitted to carry this gun by our democratic sheriff, because he worked at the Independent office and because he told the Sheriff that his life had been threatened. There are legal remedies which may be taken if a man’s life is threatened. Protests had been lodged by Justice of the Peace Mazzone and other officials against this man being allowed to carry a gun, but the sheriff turned a deaf ear to the warnings of our citizens and officials.

Harrison, John
John Harrison – Walsenburg World – August 26, 1909 – Died at the Big Four Mine, Thursday, August 19, 1909, John Harrison, who was killed by fall of rock. Walsenburg World – September 2, 1909 – John Harrison, a miner who was working at the Big Four mine, was killed by fall of rock in that mine on Thursday morning, August 19, about 9 o’clock. He was working in a room with George Swallows and John Angel. Harrison was loading coal while the other men were working with a mining machine. The rock fell without warning from the roof completely crushing the man. He did not die for about an hour but was probably partially paralyzed for the only thing he said was that his hips hurt. The body was brought to Cox’s undertaking rooms where a coroner’s investigation was held. The deceased had a wife who only arrived here from the east about two weeks ago. The Big Four Mine has been considered a very safe mine, having solid rock roof, and propping is very little practiced, although props are at hand for the use where they are needed.

They located on the Huerfano at Butte Valley and at once engaged in the stock raising business and the mess wagon and outfit of Perry Kimbrell, John Ritter, Claude Hart, and Joe Fields was long known as one of the most able and independent of the cowboy outfits in southern Colorado. In 1880 Mr. Hart moved his cattle to Texas in connection with the late Capt. Coots of Walsenburg and Fermor J. Spencer of Denver, but driving their herd across the trail of a herd of Texas cattle bound north, their cattle contracted the Texas fever and in a few days the bulk of his herd was dead. He then sold the remainder of the bunch and returned to Colorado, locating at Aguilar in the vicinity of which place he has lived ever since, and there built up an extensive stock and hay ranch. He was well known throughout southern Colorado, and but few men had a larger circle of friends. He leaves a widow and five children to mourn his loss. His pleasant smile and kindly face will long be remembered by hosts of both Americans and Spanish Americans among whom he was an especial favorite. S. J. Capps

Hastings, Adolph S.
Adolph S. Hastings – Walsenburg World - May 3, 1889 - Killed by Tramps – Operator at Fountain Murdered in His Office – The County Aroused – Colorado Springs, April 29 – Intense excitement was caused in the city and neighboring towns this morning by the announcement that A. S. Hastings, night operator of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at Fountain Station, had been murdered last night by tramps. The facts which have been learned about the crime go to prove that the murder was one of the most cold-blooded and atrocious ever committed in this county. The facts about the crime are meager up to a late hour tonight, as Hastings died without giving much information and no one else but the cruel murderers were present. J. C. Denny, station agent for the Santa Fe Company, when seen today said: “About 2:10 o’clock this morning I heard some one rapping and calling, ‘O. Denny,’ at my bedroom window in the Brunswick Hotel, which is about two blocks from the Santa Fe station. I did not know who was at the window, but as the person was groaning I knew whoever it was, was in distress, and I asked who was there, to which the person on the outside said, ‘Hastings, I am shot.’ I immediately got up and went outside, where I found Hastings lying under the window, evidently mortally wounded and rapidly sinking. Carrying him into the hotel, I called for help and we worked with him, but he was already beyond aid. I ask him how he was shot, to which he replied, “They held me up. I am shot.” I asked who did it, and he answered, “Tramps; wire Mr. Wright, Tappan, Ohio; they took the keys to the office.” Hastings asked for water, drank it, and a moment later was dead. Thus the only lips which could have given any substantial clue to the mysterious murder and its brutal perpetrators were forever sealed. The murder must have been committed about 2:05 o’clock this morning. The Santa Fe Freight No. 51 had just pulled out from Fountain going north, and Hastings had reported its passage. It must have been immediately after he sent this report that the fatal shot was fired. The only object murderers could have had was robbery, and an examination proved that $2.15 was a total amount obtained. Five minutes after the report of the freight train had been sent, Hastings called Denny up at the Brunswick Hotel, and a few minutes later was a corpse. The most probable theory of the murder is that the murderers were two and possibly three tramps, who either came in on the freight or were just lying around waiting for it to pass before they attempted the dastardly deed. It is supposed the party knew there was some money in the safe in the station office, and it is Mr. Denny’s opinion that the men tried to make Hastings tell the safe combination. But as Hastings did not know the combination he could not give it and the robbers probably thought he was deceiving them, and becoming exasperated shot him. Hastings was shot in the back, the ball passing clear through the body, and it was afterwards found on the floor. It was from a 38-caliber revolver. The appearance of the office indicates that a desperate struggle between the man and the villains occurred, Hastings finally succeeding in escaping from the station. After his departure the murderers made a hasty investigation of the drawers and closets, finding only a small sum – $2.15 which they took and departed. Their tracks as they fled are plainly discernible in the snow for a short distance and are the only clues to the perpetrators of the foul deed. Hastings had a watch and chain and $20 on his person which the murderers failed to get. The safe contained $200 which was also untouched. Sheriff Jackson and other authorities were notified of the murder and went to work on the case at once, but thus far all efforts to solve the mystery have been baffled and there is a possibility that the murderers may escape, though, as the whole country is aroused, that would seem improbable. Adolph S. Hastings was 23 years old. He had been at the Fountain office about one year, coming originally from New Comerstown, Ohio. He had, as he intimated before he died, also relatives at Tappan, Ohio. He was considered a good operator and a faithful, trustworthy employee. The Santa Fe officials have offered $200 reward for the arrest of the murderers, and no expense or efforts will be spared in hunting them down.

Hauck, Guy
Guy Hauck – Walsenburg World – June 5, 1902 – Shooting Affray – Between five and 6 o’clock on Monday night a shooting affray occurred on Mac Pryor’s place, formerly known as Canon’s ranch, about 8 miles south west of Pryor. The result is one man is dead; one slightly wounded, and two horses and a dog also wounded. One horse had his tongue shot off. Wes and Lon Holford are in jail charged with the killing. Some time ago the Holford brothers, who are step-sons of John Dans, well known here, filed on a tract of land that had been fenced by Mac Pryor. This created hard feelings and the parties disputed about pasture. On Monday afternoon Mac Pryor’s men ran out some horses of the Holford’s which they claim were trespassing on their pasture. A little after 5:00 p.m. the Holford boys went to the Mac Pryor barn, where three men were inside. Shooting at once commenced. At this stage it’s hard to say who fired the first shot. As one of the Holford’s had a flesh wound in the thigh, it is certain both parties used their guns. When the smoke of battle cleared away Guy Hauck was found dead, shot through the heart, with the other casualties mentioned. Keith and Jones, the companions of Hauck in the barn, say that some time after they had turned out the Holford stock the two brothers rode up one on a horse and the other on a mule. One of the Mac Pryor party went out when the Holford’s immediately opened fire. The Holford’s horse was wounded and both rode off on the mule. Hauck was a young man, perhaps 25 years of age, well formed, nearly 6 feet high, and spoken of as a very intelligent man. The news was at once telephoned here and Sheriff Farr, Undersheriff McQuarrie and Undertaker Cox at once started for the Mac Pryor place. Meanwhile, Deputy Sheriff Huggins arrested the Holford’s, brought them to town and lodged them in jail. Mr. Cox brought the dead man to this place and embalmed the body for shipment to Kansas. It was found from a letter on him that he has a sister at Newton, Kansas. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Cox received a telegram from H. H. Brightman of Newton, Kansas, a brother-in-law of the dead man, requesting that the remains be embalmed and forwarded to his home for interment. Guy Hauck came here from Kansas about two months ago. Undertaker Cox has his effects, a valise with some clothing and papers, a saddle and a complete cowboy’s outfit. His books and papers show that he has bought cattle from different parties since here and that he has money on deposit in the Newton, Kansas, bank. It seems when he was shot that he was outside or in the doorway of the barn. His own revolver shows he did not fire. The Mac Pryor men had a Winchester and three revolvers; and the Holford’s had a Winchester and a revolver apiece. A. B. Hauck, a younger brother of the deceased came to town Tuesday from Thatcher, Colorado, and accompanied the remains of his brother to Newton, Kansas. Walsenburg World – June 12, 1902 – Trial for Murder – Justice Edwards yesterday gave a preliminary hearing to the Holford boys charged with the murder of Guy Hauck. Hayden represented the State and Sweeney the defense. The facts as they came out were as given by us last week. The Holford’s allege that they went to head off some animals when someone in the barn called out, “Throw up your hands, you S – – of B – – – –,” and fired three shots at them. Hauck’s pistol was found to contain four full cartridges and two empty ones, but Dr. Chapman says the two empty ones were full of dust and green mould and must have been fired some time before. Keith and Jones, the two men in the barn, say he never fired a shot, and that they only fired as the Holford’s were moving off. Deputy Sheriff Huggins told the Holford’s before he arrested them that no one was harmed, and only told them the truth after he had disarmed them. They say they would never have allowed themselves to be taken had they known that they had killed a man. It appears that the Holford’s had made threats, had bought ammunition of Lamme and had told him of their trouble. They also threatened before Pryor to fix Hauck. This was established by two witnesses. Bonds were fixed at $3,000 each. No one appearing to sign the bonds, the prisoners were remanded back to jail to await the District Court. Walsenburg World – September 25, 1902 – District Court – The District Court met in Walsenburg, Monday, October 6, 1902, with Judge Holbrook of Conejos County on the bench. The following is the docket: People versus James L. and Wesley O. Holford, murder. The matter of the State versus James L. and Wesley Holford, murder, was taken up and occupied the attention of the court all this week and will probably occupy several days of the court yet. It was Tuesday afternoon before the jury had been accepted, and that evening was occupied in stating the case to the jury. The Holford’s are on trial for the murder of Guy Hauck. The killing occurred on the Mac Pryor ranch, June 2 and grew out of disputes over land and stock. Pryor had bought the ranch from Benton Cannon, who had fenced in a lot of land which did not belong to him, and the Holford brothers made an entry on some of it. Many quarrels ensued between them and Pryor’s employees, which finally resulted in the death of Hauck, a ranch hand of Pryor’s. The feeling is pretty strong and special counsel has been employed to assist in the prosecution. A long and bitterly contested trial is expected. Walsenburg World – October 16, 1902 – District Court – At the time of going to press last week the case of the people versus James L. and Wesley Holford was still being tried. Thursday evening the jury was instructed and counsel began their argument and continued until 12 o’clock at night when court adjourned until morning. Friday morning attorney Henry Hunter for the prosecution made the closing argument, and the jury went out. They returned a verdict about 7 o’clock Friday evening of guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Attorney P. W. Sweeney in this case was pitted against District Attorney Ross, Deputy Prosecuting Atty. Hayden and Special Consul Hunter, and made a most convincing speech before the jury.

Throughout his career, He continued to teach band and also taught guitar class as well as high school and middle school choir. His bands received various awards and were a consistent superior band at large group contests. Several of his students were selected to honor bands and choirs. He taught nearly every sixth grader in Trinidad music appreciation. Those students, some of them well into their 40s, fondly called him “Mr. Hawley,” showing their respect and true admiration for him. He was a member of the Music Educators National Conference as well as Colorado Music Educators Conference. He served as treasurer of the Arkansas Valley Music League for many years and continued to do so after he retired. He was a member of Phi Beta Mu, a national band director fraternity, and was a past president of Colorado's chapter. He also served as an adjudicator for solo and ensemble contests.

Denis had been with the Trinidad Elks since 1984, the Exalted Ruler in 1985, a District Deputy in 1991, for 11 lodges, in the South Colorado District and had been the Colorado State Organist for 24 years. Most recently, Denis became the director of the Community Chorale, a group of local singers and musicians who performed a concert three days after his death, dedicating the concert to him. Denis would have wanted the show to go on. Denis could be seen most Saturdays and Sundays playing the organ during Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. He became a Catholic in 2005. Denis was invited to many get-togethers, on one condition, he bring his incredible homemade salsa and his delicious deviled eggs. He always obliged. Denis had many friends from his days of bartending at the Elks Club and Jujo's. He had a joke for every occasion, with most jokes of the junior high variety. Whenever you spent time with Denis, you left the meeting feeling better. If you had a problem, he listened intently, truly a caring friend. He worked for many years at the Mullare-Murphy Funeral Home and made grieving families feel comfortable with his soothing style and genuine ability to help guide them through a difficult time. He is survived by his brother, Gary R. (Kathryn) Hawley, numerous nephews and nieces and special friend Michelle (Micki) Crichton.

Hazard, A. S. (Dr.)
Dr. A. S. Hazard – Walsenburg World – June 19, 1906 – LaVeta News – The sudden and severe illness of Dr. A. S. Hazard last Sunday came as a shock to many who had seen him only a few days previously taking part in the social affairs of the town. Not many hours after his first attack almost all hope was abandoned and it was only through the injection of powerful stimulants that he was kept alive. Although we understand he suffered from weak lungs the trouble that caused his death seems to have been a sudden sinking spell and failure of the heart to perform its functions. The only hope of keeping him alive being a removal to a lower altitude, a special train was chartered to catch the Denver passenger. He left here surrounded by wife and children at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. The attempt however was futile and word was received the next day that he died in Denver at 4 o’clock Thursday morning. His remains will be taken to the old home at Low Moor, Iowa, where he will be buried. Dr. Hazard was a Mason and an Odd Fellow, taking much interest in both organizations.

Hector, John Gilbert
John Gilbert Hector – Walsenburg World – October 13, 1910 – Sad Accident – Word came into town on Monday about noon that Jack Hector and Charlie Faye had been shot while deer hunting in the vicinity of the summit west of the Cuchara. No definite news could be ascertained until the automobile came back bringing the wounded men. From what we found out the party composed of Charles Fey, Jack Hector, Willis Ellworth, and C. A. Sport who were hunting on the ridge between North Creek and the Cuchara about 9:15 a.m. and were startled by hearing the report from a gun in their vicinity. They yelled, but the hunter, Ed Rilley, owing to the wind blowing, did not hear their call and continued to shoot in their direction, evidently mistaking them for deer, and one shot struck Charles Fey in the leg and the fifth shot hit Jack Hector in the left leg shattering the bone and cutting two of the main arteries. Immediately after the accident a letter was made and poor Jack was carried to their camp which is located 6 miles from where the accident occurred, after they had stopped the flow of blood the best they could, Ed Rilley assisting them and begging them to kill him. This is about the same spot that Thompson was killed by Tremaine several years ago under similar circumstances and is a wooded piece of level ground about 1 mile wide. John Powell met the party coming down to camp and immediately turned his horse and hurried to send a telephone call for medical assistance, to which Dr. S. J. Lamme responded. The wounded man was brought to town and spoke cheeringly to friends who awaited his coming but he expired even before the examination of his injuries was completed. It is surprising that two deaths were not the result of this deplorable accident as a shade closer would have treated Charlie Fey similarly. John Gilbert Hector was 46 years of age being born in Crediton North Deven, England, on December 14, 1864 and moved to the United States about 1886, coming to LaVeta in 1888 with his parents who four years resided on the Wahatoya and LaVeta. He leaves six sisters and three brothers to mourn his death and a host of friends as “Jack” was known and respected by all with whom he came in contact. His remains were entered yesterday in the LaVeta Cemetery under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World, he being a member of these fraternal orders. At the time of his death he was Clerk and Recorder of the Town of LaVeta and Sec. of the Commercial Club. Friends remembered him with flowers the Jack! We miss you. – LaVeta Enterprise.

Heikes, Norma
Norma Heikes - Huerfano World Journal - November 30, 2017 - Tragedy in the form of deadly traffic accidents marred the beginning and end of the Thanksgiving holiday travel weekend in Huerfano County, with one accident claiming the life of a La Veta resident. At 7 pm Sunday, November 27 emergency service responders including the Colorado State Patrol were dispatched 13 miles north of Walsenburg on I-25 near mile marker 65 on reports of a traffic accident. CSP Trooper Art Gumke reported a 2003 Ford Ranger, driven by Norma Heikes, 78, of La Veta was traveling in the right hand lane of southbound I-25 when it collided with a dead deer. After striking the animal the pickup continued southbound, skidding counter clockwise and ending up in the median where it rolled two times coming to rest on its wheels facing east in the northbound right hand lane of the interstate. Reports indicate Heikes was improperly restrained at the time of the impact and she sustained fatal injuries. A 2014 Toyota Corolla was also traveling southbound in the left hand lane when the accident happened. The Toyota’s driver, Homero Lagunas-Martinez, 36, of Raton, NM steered to the left to avoid the Ford Ranger and went off the left side of the road into the median. The accident report says Lagunas-Martinez over-steered to the right which caused his vehicle to rotate clockwise where it then rolled one and one-half times coming to rest on its roof in the northbound left hand lane of the highway. Lagunas-Martinez was restrained at the time of the crash and was transported to Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center for treatment of minor injuries. The Toyota’s rear seat passengers; a 16-year old female, a one-year old female and 12-year old male were all restrained at the time of the accident. The 12-year old male and one year old child were transported to SPRHC with minor injuries and the 16-year old female was taken by Flight for Life to Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo with moderate injuries. Alcohol and/or drug use are not suspected as contributing factors in the crash.

Hendren, C. D. (Mrs.)
Mrs. C. D. Hendren - Walsenburg World - April 4, 1901- A Mother Taken - On Tuesday, April 2, 1901, Mrs. C. D. Hendren passed away after a long illness at her home on West 7th Street, Walsenburg, Colo. Mrs. Hendren at the time of her death was 54 years, 10 months, and 23 days old. Her body was laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery at this place on Wednesday afternoon after appropriate ceremonies in the Catholic Church conducted by Father Uzzel. Mrs. Hendren has all her life been a faithful communicant of that organization and up to the time of her late illness a regular attendant on its services. She leaves eight children, her husband having gone before her some years ago. They are Silvano, Cornelius, Mrs. F. X. Ricklemann, Virginia, Aurelius, Fred, Cyrus and Constance who mourn her departure and who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. [Editor’s Note: Damiana Cordova Hendren, born May 4, 1843, New Mexico, died April 2, 1901, Walsenburg, Colo.; buried St. Mary’s South Cemetery, Walsenburg, Huerfano County, Colo.] Walsenburg World - April 11, 1901 - A Correction - We regret that the name of Mrs. Jno.

Hendren, Cornelius D. (Capt.)
Captain Cornelius D. Hendren - Walsenburg World - November 22, 1894 - An Old Resident Gone - Capt. Cornelius D. Hendren breathed his last at his home in Walsenburg, Saturday evening, November 18. The immediate occasion of his death was a hemorrhage of the lungs, but the real cause was the injuries received two weeks previous when he was thrown from his wagon while driving to Cuchara. Capt. Hendren was born at Norfolk, Virginia, of distinguished parentage, February 6, 1829. In early manhood he removed to Mississippi, and at the breaking out of the Mexican war enlisted, serving during the campaign and retiring at the close with the rank of Captain of Volunteers. He was married in Costillo County, May 20, 1893. Twelve children have been born to him, of whom nine are living. Mrs. Lowenbruck, now residing in Mexico, Cornelius D. Jr. in Las Animas, Sylvan in New Mexico, Mrs. Rickelman and Fred at Spring Gulch, Virginia and three smaller ones at home. Capt. Hendren was a lawyer by profession, having pursued his studies and been admitted to the bar before leaving his eastern home. He located with his family in Walsenburg in 1869 and practiced in the courts at Pueblo for a number of years. Of late, however, he has withdrawn largely from professional life, though serving several terms as probate judge. He has been extensively engaged in sheep raising. He was a man of sterling integrity and an earnest advocate of what he deemed right. Of a soldierly bearing and commanding presence he was a noticeable personage. We formed his acquaintance soon after coming to Walsenburg and valued his friendship. Death came to him as it comes to most unexpectedly, but we trust it found him ready to go. His death leaves sorrow in the home where the faithful wife and affectionate children depended so much on husband and father. An old and honorable citizen has greeted his neighbors and friends for the last time and his absence brings feelings of grief to many hearts. There was a brief service at the house on Monday afternoon led by Rev. Bray, after which the Masonic Fraternity of which he was an honorable member bore his body to its last resting place, and paid the last sad rites of the order in a most impressive manner. The family of Capt. Hendren wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude for the sympathy and kindness of their friends and neighbors during the illness and since the decease of their husband, father and friend.

Henry, J. C.
J. C. Henry – Walsenburg World – May 9, 1901 – His Father Taken – From the Denver papers we learn of the death of J. C. Henry, the father of D. Carl Henry the former night man of the Rio Grande here. Mr. Henry died on Friday night of last week. During his lifetime he was an electrician and an inventor having invented the present trolley system as used on the streetcar service today. At the time of his death Mr. Henry was at work on an appliance that will revolutionize the automobile, in speaking of this the Republican of Monday says. The last month of Mr. Henry’s life was spent in a literal race with death. He knew that his stock of vitality could not last much longer, and he was eager to leave his family with a competency. The time in which his brain was most active was in the night, and so through the silent hours, in bed, his brain worked out the details of the inventions and improvements in one of the most difficult of technical and scientific branches. A month before his death he put through a $100,000 deal disposing of the greater of his children of his genius. He was then at work upon an automobile motor which was not perfected. Unable to sit the bench himself, Mr. Henry sent for his son who was agent of the D & RG at Walsenburg, and put him to work. The son through the day would work out at the tramway shops, the ideas which his father had wrought in his brain the night before, until death stopped the race. The invention was all perfected. The motor is said to embody new ideas in automobile construction, and is of a special value, because of the recent discovery by Edison of a storage battery of only about half the weight of the older type. Mr. Henry’s son will continue the development of the invention, and will carry out other plans of his father so far as he is able.

Henson, Anthony
Anthony Henson - Pueblo Chieftain - April 28, 2015 - A man’s body was found in a shed in the back of a home in the 1700 block of Van Buren Street that was gutted by a fire Tuesday afternoon. Police are investigating the death as suspicious. The man who was found dead was identified by Pueblo County Coroner Brian Cotter as Anthony Henson, 43. Henson’s cause of death is unknown at this time. An autopsy is scheduled today. Cotter said the address the fire occurred at is the home address listed for Henson. A property search for the address on the Pueblo County Assessor’s website confirms that. A thick cloud of smoke filled the 1700 block of Van Buren around 2:15 p.m. as the home was engulfed in flames. Smoke was coming from both the attic of the home and the basement and flames were visible through a hole on the roof. According to police, witnesses reported seeing an older male near the home prior to the fire, but later lost sight of him. Henson’s body was found in the shed after numerous crews with the Pueblo Fire Department doused the fire. The house was severely damaged by the blaze. The same house that caught fire Tuesday also was damaged by a fire in March 2014. That blaze began around 6 p.m. on March 1 of last year, causing heavy damage to the home. Fire department officials said there also were an unspecified number of dogs located in the backyard of the home. None of the dogs were harmed. An investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Despite many hardships in her life, she was a cheerful friend to all; a person with beautiful blue eyes and a beautiful smile, who laughed often; and a person of profound faith. She loved fixing Christmas breakfast at her home; driving to Cripple Creek in the fall to see the changing of colors and to play “her” Munsters machine at one of the casinos; playing bridge with “her girls;” and watching her beloved Denver Broncos with Miles, a stuffed version of the Broncos mascot. She laughed often, celebrated the best in people and accepted their shortcomings. She will be greatly missed. No visitation. Funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 11, 2015, at Christ the King Church. Interment will follow at Roselawn Cemetery. Special thanks to her neighbors, who kept an eye out for her at all times; and the wonderful staffs of Parkview Medical Center’s Neuro-ICU unit and the Sangre de Cristo Hospice, where, if you so desire, memorials may be made in her name. You can honor her best, however, by always remembering that life is precious and it can be taken from us at any time. So be kind to each other; that would be the best “donation” in her memory that you could make. Arrangements by T.G. McCarthy Funeral Home.

Pueblo Chieftain - March 24, 2016 - A Pueblo man accused of killing his grandmother in her home near Runyon Field last summer was bound over for trial on three counts, including first-degree murder. Pueblo District Court Judge Thomas Flesher found there was probable cause to try Anthony Sena, 29, on charges of first-degree murder, first-degree arson and theft after a preliminary hearing that stretched four days, totaled 12 hours of testimony and ended Thursday morning. Eight individuals ranging from first responders, fire investigators and a cell phone data specialist from the FBI took the stand to provide testimony throughout the course of the hearing. Sena is suspected of killing his grandmother Susan Hernandez, 77, and burning her body. Pueblo Chieftain - December 11, 2016 - Weeks after Anthony Sena was found guilty of killing his grandmother and sentenced to life in prison without parole, family and friends of Susan Hernandez, 77, gathered for a rosary to celebrate her life and to continue their healing process. The rosary was held Saturday at Runyon Field, a place Hernandez spent a lot of time during her life, watching baseball and softball and walking her dog, and a location that’s just a block from where she lived and where her burning body was discovered by one of her daughters on July 29, 2015. “I felt it would be good to come together and pray because everyone suffered. Everyone that loved my mother is suffering, and it will never go away,” said Brenda Lovato, one of Hernandez’s daughters. “Our hearts will be broken forever, but my mom would want us to move on. She’d say, ‘Stop crying already, be tough,’ because my mom was tough. I thought it was important for us to pray the rosary together one last time now that there is justice.” The rosary that was prayed was one that Hernandez loved, said Jake Arellano, a deacon at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church in Pueblo. “One thing that brought her (Hernandez) comfort was prayer,” Arellano, who led the rosary, said. The rosary was attended by about 50 of Hernandez’s loved ones and was held in front of a park bench at Runyon Field that was dedicated to her memory one year later. Candles and pictures of Hernandez and of she and her husband covered the bench Saturday. Katrina LiVecchi, another of Hernandez’s daughters, expressed her gratitude to everyone who came to the rosary. “Thank you all for your love and support because without that, I wouldn’t be able to get through this,” she told them. LiVecchi, who found her mother’s burning body in the basement of her home, said now that Sena, 29, has been convicted, the healing process for her is coming along. “I do wake up every morning now more relieved that justice was served and he is paying for this horrific crime that he did to his own grandmother,” she said. “I still relive that morning every day. I can’t block that out right now. My mother was my first phone call of my day every day, and I miss that phone call. My mother is still alive in each and every one of us.” Lovato said Runyon was the perfect place for the rosary because she has so many memories of her mother there. “My mom was here all the time with her sunflower seeds and her water watching our games. She was like the best fan,” Lovato said. “This is precious to her, and I feel her spirit lives here.”

Herrera, John
John G. Herrera - Pueblo Chieftain - February 2, 2016 - John G. Herrera, 74, of La Junta, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the family home on Jan. 4, 2016. John was born April 22, 1941, to Basilio and Natividad Herrera in North Vita, Colo., near Walsenburg on the family farm, where he lived until he was 5 years old. They then moved to Walsenburg, where he attended St. Mary’s High School until he graduated. John first worked for Rufini’s Market and Star Market. He then went to work at Safeway in its meat department. He then moved to Pueblo, Colo., and worked at the Midtown Safeway for several years. John was then offered a market in Lamar, Colo., as manager and he and his family moved there for 9 1/2 years. He was then offered the market in La Junta, Colo., where he worked for 31 years. During that time, he and his business partner and good friend, Johnny Lucas, bought and renovated an old building on Second Street in La Junta, which became the Bogie Farm Golf and Repair Shop. John had the shop for 10 years. He had many great experiences there, met many people and had great success. John was an avid golfer and won several tournaments, including the “Home of Heroes” tournament in Pueblo in 2013. When he retired, he went to work at the pro shop at the Rocky Ford Golf Course for several years. He then went to work for the La Junta golf shop. John built clubs while there and did repair work. He loved inventing gadgets for golf and made his own clubs with bent shafts. He also made a special tee with a weight that didn’t fly away and would use the same tee for weeks. He retired from the pro shop on Dec. 31, 2015. His love of golf and his gentle manner made him a favorite coach for kids and teens. He took great pride in giving lessons and when they called him “coach.” He was very patient. He always gave his fellow golfers tips he had learned over the years. If someone needed help, he gave it and always with a smile and enjoyed it so much. He made three hole-in-ones in his lifetime. The one in Rocky Ford was one for the books. There were several birds in front of the hole; he had to hit over them. The ball hit one bird on the head, knocking it out, and then rolled into the cup. Everyone stared in disbelief and someone said, “John, you got a birdie and an eagle at the same time.” The story appeared in a golf magazine for most unusual hole-in-ones. John is survived by his wife, Sandra Morrison-Herrera of the La Junta home; sons, John F.

Herring, J. J.
J. J. Herring – Walsenburg World – June 12, 1906 – Double Killing at Pryor – J. J. Herring shot and fatally wounded E. S. Lavender early Sunday morning, but before his death Lavender succeeded in killing his assailant. The shooting occurred in and around the Pryor’s saloon and was the outcome of an attempt on the part of Lavender to enforce the law. All the parties involved are colored. About 1:30 Sunday morning J. J. Herring and Minnie Herring his wife and Milton Thomas walked into the Pryor saloon on their way home to Hezron from an entertainment. E. S. Lavender, who was a deputy sheriff, approach the party, who had ordered drinks, and said to the woman; “Didn’t I tell you to keep out of the saloon!” (Referring to an order prohibiting women from frequenting saloons). As Lavender spoke Herring reached his hand toward his hip pocket and in a flash Lavender drew his gun and said to the man, “Don’t draw any gun on me.” The latter replied that he had no gun but was only getting his money to pay for the drinks. Lavender then put up his gun. After some further talk Herring started for the back door of the saloon followed by Lavender, the woman and Thomas. As he passed through the door Herring turned and shot Lavender who as he staggered back pulled his gun and returned his assailants fire. Herring then started around the building with the wounded deputy in pursuit firing as he ran. Just as he completed the circuit of the house Herring fell dead and Lavender was staggering when caught by a bystander. The wounded officer was taken to his home where he died in a few hours. At the inquest held Sunday morning it was found that Lavender had been shot but once, the bullet passing through the right breast, while his assailant received four bullets in his body. Mrs. Herring is now in the county jail under a charge of murder, it having been shown at the inquest that after her husband fell she picked up his gun and tried to fire at Lavender, but failed to do in the execution owing to the fact that Herring had previously emptied his gun at the deputy.

Jack Story and Ben Leftridge, together with Mabel Higgins and Rosie Clay, all colored, had been at Pictou all night having a time at one of the saloon’s just this side of the camp. They were all pretty well the worse for liquor by Sunday morning and in that condition started for Walsen camp in a buggy which they had rented from Steele’s livery barn. The two women and Leftridge were in the buggy and Story was holding onto the wheel in an endeavor to hinder the starting in a drunken sort of good fellowship. Mabel Higgins told Leftridge to get out and “Make that _____nigger quit his foolishness.” Leftridge got out of the buggy and at the same time drew a gun and flourished it about discharging the weapon, the bullet entering the stomach of Mabel Higgins and killing her almost instantly. Soon after the shooting Leftridge was lodged in the county jail. A coroner’s inquest held over the body of the woman Sunday morning resulted in a verdict that Mabel Higgins came to her death at the hands of Ben Leftridge with felonious intent. Walsenburg World – October 6, 1905 – District Court News – The work of the impaneling a jury in the case of the People versus Ben Leftridge, who is accused of the murder of Mabel Higgins, was begun. The prosecution accepted the jurymen as drawn by the clerk of the court, but counsel for the defense consumed a good part of the afternoon in excusing various jurymen. The evidence of the prosecution as produced from the testimony of various witnesses was to the effect that Rosie Clay, Mabel Higgins, Jerry Story, and another colored man had spent most of the evening of September 2 at a saloon this side of Pictou, where they had gone in a buggy from Walsen camp. About 3 o’clock Sunday morning they came out of the saloon and got into the buggy to come home. Mabel Higgins was the last to come from the saloon and get into the buggy. She was followed out by Leftridge, and she called to him by the name of Johnson and asked him to kiss her goodbye so she could go home. Story had hold of the forward wheel of the buggy and Mabel Higgins asked Ben to make Story get away so they could go. Leftridge pulled him away with his right hand and was at the same time holding a gun in his left hand. As he pulled Story away the gun was discharged. The horses started up and the Higgins woman said, “I am shot.” She then added that she was all right, that she was only sick at her stomach. Upon arriving at Walsen camp the parties in the buggy, who were all pretty drunk, discovered that the Higgins woman was dead. Leftridge’s testimony was substantially the same; that he drew his gun simply to frighten Story and that it was discharged when he jerked him away, just how he was unable to say. This closed testimony for both prosecution and defense. The court then adjourned until 9:30 this morning when the jury was charged and counsels made their arguments. Walsenburg World – October 10, 1905 – District Court – The jury in the Ben Leftridge case came in before noon Friday and rendered a verdict of “not guilty.”

Hill, Mary J. Gardiner
Mary J. Gardiner Hill – Walsenburg World – February 15, 1894 – Another at Rest – Death has again visited our community. At 8:15 o’clock on Saturday morning, Mary J. Gardiner, wife of Capt. M. T. Hills breathed her last. She was attacked with pleura pneumonia, some two weeks since, for a time seemed better and then grew gradually worse till the end came. The funeral services were held at the house on Monday at 11 o’clock under the conduct of Rev. John Todd, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Hill was born at Eaton, Madison County, New York, October 5, 1828, and seven years later removed with her father to Angelica. Here she was married January 8, 1854 to M. T. Hill, and settled with him at Williamsburg. The call of patriotism led the husband to the battlefield while she cared for the children at the home. In 1870 they moved to Highland, Kansas, and in 1878 to Colorado. Three sons cheered their lives, the youngest of whom died five years ago of typhoid fever at Pueblo. She was the fifth in a family of 12 children and was a lineal descendent of Lionel Gardiner, one of the regicides of the time of Charles II, who fled to America and settled on Gardiner Island in New York Bay. A year ago she received news of the death of her brother, Donald, who at the time was serving his 41st successive year as treasurer of Albany County. Mrs. Hill was of a retiring, thoughtful disposition, and a lover of home and family. She was a member of the Congregational church at the East, but did not unite with any church here, though at times she thought seriously of doing so, yet there can be no doubt of her union of heart with the Savior. Of late years her health has been feeble, her mind weakening as well as her body. The death of her youngest son was a severe blow; over which she grieved to the last. Her deafness, which made general conversation difficult, kept her more alone and threw her thoughts back upon herself. Now the end has come, and with it the rest, and joyous reunion above.

Hindman, Jack
Jack Hindman – Walsenburg World – November 20, 1903 – Deputy Shot in a Quarrel in a Saloon – Trinidad, Colorado, November 16 – There was a big dance Saturday night at the Black Diamond Mine near Aguilar and early Monday morning Jack Hindman, one of the guards at the mine, invited another named Coues to the Black Diamond Saloon for a drink. The guard refused to pay for the liquor and an altercation followed. Hindman finally attempted to draw his gun on Coues but the latter was too quick for him and shot first, hitting him in the head above the ear. More shooting and a general saloon row followed and there was considerable excitement at the camp, the people thinking at first there was trouble between the strikers and the deputies, but such proved not to be the case and quiet was soon restored. Hindman died at 1 o’clock Monday of his injuries. Coues and a man named Gonzales have been arrested.

Hitchcock, David
David Hitchcock – Walsenburg World – February 26, 1914 – Trespassers in Mishap – Trinidad, Colorado, February 25 – Thrown from a steel coke rack under the wheels of a Colorado & Southern freight train near Lynn, at 2:30 o’clock this morning, one man was killed, two were injured, one perhaps fatally, and five others escaped with minor injuries. The accident was one of the most freakish ever reported in local circles. The dead man is David Hitchcock, a miner from the Vulcan mines at Lafayette, Colorado, whose body was badly crushed. The more serious injured is brakeman A. G. Hall of Trinidad, whose skull is fractured and one leg broken. He is at San Raphael Hospital here and is not expected to live. Olaf Anderson of Alamosa suffered a broken arm. The five others who escaped with bruises are John Porter of Olathe, Kansas, Nielsen Jorgensen, residence unknown, Carl Page of Bisbee, Arizona, Albert Swanson and Henry Johnson of Gallup, New Mexico. The eight men, who were riding in the steel coke rack, where trespassers stealing a ride to Trinidad. It is believed that in some way the catches of the car were loosened and the bottom dropped out, dropping the men on the tracks. How the five escaped death or serious injury is considered more or less a miracle. The body of the dead man is at the morgue at Aguilar and an inquest will be held by the coroner sometime today.

Hixon, Abner
Abner Hixon – Walsenburg World – March 14, 1895 – A Brutal Murder – A Speedy Vengeance Overtakes the Authors of the Deed. An Innocent Man Shot, Presumably by Accident. The record of this week is a fearful one. As we write five men are dead and two others are believed killed. Last Saturday Abner Hixon of Rouse came over to Walsenburg to arrange with John Caviness for a partnership in a saloon they proposed opening at La Belle, N. M., next week. He was in town also on Sunday leaving for Rouse about nine o’clock in the evening. On reaching Rouse he put the horse he rode in the stable of its owner, James Goodwin, and started for his boarding place at H. H. Goodwin’s two blocks distant. On the way he passed a house where a company of Italians were carousing. Either enticed or of his free will he entered and drank with them. Just how the difficulty which resulted in his death was precipitated is not quite clear. The Italians claim that he went out of his own accord and began shooting toward the house. But no gun has been produced, and a hole they show on the side of the door has the appearance of having been made with a pick. It is, however, known that there were nine of the assailants, and that while one named Antonio Gobetto held Hixon, Lorenzo Danino struck him two blows on the side and back of his head with a table leg producing severe fractures of the skull. They then carried the body some forty rods to the north and laid it near John Suebel's door. James Bundy and wife were up at the time and saw them pass, but supposing it was only a drunken companion they were carrying to his home, paid them no further attention. His overcoat was found some distance north east of H. H. Goodwin's, probably placed there to divert attention. Mr. Suebel says that on rising the next morning he saw from his window a well-dressed man lying a few feet from the house. Going out he found him still breathing, but nearly dead from blows received. Calling his neighbor James Duncan, they gave the alarm. Coroner D. W. Mathews, Deputy District Attorney Hunter and Sheriff O’Malley were telephoned and hastened over from Walsenburg. A blood hound recently purchased by Tom Brewer was brought on the scene and tracked two of the men to a saloon north of camp. Others were found in hiding in their houses and two had struck for the open country. Officers were soon on the track and nine persons were arrested. The table leg was found in a cellar and identified. A coroner’s jury was summoned consisting of D. R. Hindman, Walter Holt, John Pruitt, W. D. Lee, P. D. Learnard and Samuel Weyman. As a result of their investigation, Lorenzo Danino, Antonio Gobetto, Francisco Roccetto, Pete Jacobino, and Stanistavo Bittoni. The inquest continued till the evening of Tuesday. Danino was brought over to Walsenburg and put in the jail about noon. It was near six o’clock, when the other four were sent over. Deputy Sheriff Danford sat on the seat with the driver, Joseph Wellsby; and City Marshall Chas. Harriman followed on horseback with a Winchester. Sheriff O’Malley was detained by the examination of another prisoner who was afterwards released, when he started for home. It was just as the party had reached the bridge over Bear Creek about one mile from Walsenburg, that six or seven horsemen, whose faces were masked or colored rode up from behind. Hardman was compelled to dismount and make for town on foot. Riding up beside the wagon they ordered the driver to stop, which he did at the end of the bridge. Hanford was ordered to hold up his hands and the prisoners bidden to get out. Shots were fired almost immediately and the horses commenced to run. Young Wellsby unable to hold them jumped to the ground. Danford who was still in the wagon soon followed just in time to see Wellsby shot as he was attempting to run across the road. He immediately went to him and lifting his head held it tenderly the few minutes the boy lived, and then hastened to town to give the alarm. There were a number of shots fired by the men on horseback but no others. One Italian was slightly wounded in the left breast and started to walk to the city. He was overtaken by Sheriff O’Malley who brought him in in his cart, and placed him in jail. The other three disappeared and no trace of them could be found that night. About noon the next day one more body was found near the Lowenbruck slaughter house. Antonito Gobetto and Pete Jacobino have not been found, and it is not known whether they have escaped or were killed. The body of Joseph Wellsby was brought to town and placed in the care of A. R. Campbell, undertaker. But the tale does not end here. About one o’clock a company of 15 to 20 men went to the jail and rapped. To the inquiry of the guards within as to who they were, their spokesman answered, “Walter.” On being admitted they seized the guards and going toward the cells fired upon the two prisoners. The shots were heard and soon a crowd of citizens assembled. In the morning the coroner assembled a jury consisting of H. B. Wycoff, John Pritchard, J. N. Cooper, S. A. Bowman, and Thomas Mooney, to consider the case of Joseph Wellsby. In their verdict they state that he came to his death from pistol wounds inflicted by persons unknown to the jury. Abner Hixon was a native of Tennessee who had also lived in Arkansas and Texas. He had been in Rouse about two years, and was well liked. Last summer he served awhile as deputy sheriff during the strike, and many think that this may account for the enmity which led to his murder. Messages were sent to his friends at Paris, Arkansas, but no response was received. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Rouse and the burial at Walsenburg. He was 33 years of age and unmarried.

McCarthy Funeral chapel, Dr. C. N. Caldwell, county coroner, announced Monday. The two dead men, J. G.

The trouble is said to have resulted from an attempt by the two watchmen to arrest Culbertson, who, according to Blackwell, was placing the sack of wire in the back seat of his car when they approached. The men had been hiding near the wire for several hours, waiting for the supposed thief to return to get it.

In the early 1930s her family moved to Denver where she graduated from South High School in 1941. About that time she also went to business school to acquire secretarial skills. She met Clayton Pershing Hoffman (1918-1994) at a USO dance in 1941. A native of Pennsylvania, he was serving in the Air Force at Lowry Air Force Base. They married at her home on South Acoma Street on June 20, 1942. The couple lived their entire lives in the Denver area. Doris Hoffman was a stay at home mom, raising their children, Dan (1943) and Nancy (1948) and managing the family household. Doris Hoffman's top priority was being a loving wife and nurturing mother. But she also dedicated much time to her home congregation, South Broadway Christian Church, serving in a number of roles over the years until no longer able to be active. She especially valued the weekly prayer group, when it existed; the Homebuilder's Class, a post World War II Sunday School group; and singing. She sang in the choir until she was past seventy years old. Music of all kinds was always an important part of her daily life. As a woman of faith, Doris Hoffman believed in exercising duty; telling the truth; and discerning right and wrong in all things. As a mother, she nurtured but did not smother, allowing her children to find their own way and make their own errors and achievements. As a grandmother of six and a great grandmother of eighteen, she took delight in the many children in the family. She lived her life according to a limerick that she often repeated to her children as they were growing up: "Whatever you do, do with your might. A thing worth doing is worth doing right." She lived a righteous and holy life and died in the comfort and hope of the Resurrection. Arrangements under the direction of Olinger Hampden Mortuary & Cemetery, Denver, CO.

Holman, Clyde
Clyde Holman – Walsenburg World – May 8, 1913 – On Monday afternoon a few minutes after 4 o’clock the news was spread that two boys had been drowned in the mill lake. The news spread rapidly and crowds hastened to the lake. It was found that two boys, Herbert VanEtten and Clyde Holman had gotten into an old boat on the lake and started out to do some fishing. The wind was blowing from the east and the waters were choppy. As the boat drifted with the breeze from the shore to the other side of the lake the water commenced dashing into the boat. The boys, it is supposed, became excited and worked hard with their caps to bail out the water, but they could not. One of two men, who were fishing on the west side of the lake, happened to look around and saw the boat just about disappearing under water. The men were at least 150 feet at the time from the boys and pulling up anchor started to rescue the boys but the wind hindered their movement. One of the men jumped out of the boat and swam to where the boys disappeared. He sank after them and caught hold of both boys but his heavy clothing and the struggles of the boys made it impossible for him to raise both to the surface. He brought the VanEtten boy twice to the surface before his companion could reach the spot with the boat and almost drowning himself finally succeeded in saving this boy. Neither of the men knew the boys before the upsetting or sinking of the boat and they did not even know the boys were on the pond. It was only a miracle that caused the man to look around. Today (Tuesday noon) the boy Holman has not been recovered although the lake has been dynamited several times. Clyde Holman was 11 years at the time of his decease and leaves a father, who was at Tin Cup, Colorado, at the time of the accident, mother and sister, Mrs. George Price, to mourn his loss. Walsenburg World – May 8, 1913 – Mr. Clark Holman and Mrs. George Price came in from Pueblo on Tuesday noon. The sad news of the death of the son and brother, Clyde Holman, reached them quickly.

A resident of Trinidad since 1995, Irvin was well-known in the community. If you had the good fortune to meet Irvin, you made a friend who will never be forgotten. During his long, adventure filled life, Irvin worked on the railroad; he was a merchant seaman on the Great Lakes; he was a uranium prospector; he was an airplane mechanic, a builder, and a rancher. He ran numerous marathons and he was a pilot. He was most proud, though, of his 30 years of service in the U.S. Navy. Irvin was born in Denver on December 8, 1923 to Albert Hornkohl and Eva May Hughes. Even as a young boy, Irvin wanted to see the world. When he was 17 years old, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. After boot camp in the summer of 1941, he was assigned to a great battleship, the USS Oklahoma. On December 7, 1941, Irvin was at Pearl Harbor. After firing at the attacking Japanese for hours, he was fortunate to have survived. Irvin volunteered to serve on American submarines. He completed 11 wartime patrols on submarines in the Pacific theater during World War II, working his way up to be a torpedo man. He served aboard the USS Gudgeon, USS Gar, and USS Sealion II. He was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps medal for heroic service while rescuing Australian commandos on the island of Timor. A few years after the war, Irvin left the Navy, but he returned in the early 1960s as a member of the Navy Seabees. He served two tours in Vietnam. He was severely wounded when he was blown off a bridge near Phan Rang. After completing his tours in Vietnam, Irvin served at two American embassies, in Prague, Czechoslovakia, behind the Iron Curtain, and in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He was in Cambodia during that country’s civil war, and was again gravely wounded while under attack by the Khmer Rouge. Irvin served out his Navy career with a variety of assignments around the world, including four years in Japan. He retired as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. Irvin was a natural storyteller. He told thrilling and captivating stories about his life’s adventures. In his 80s, Irvin decided to add “author” to his long list of accomplishments. His life stories are forever preserved in the award-winning book, Just Do It, Crazy or Not. The book’s title stands as a motto for Irvin’s life. He was an honorable, daring, and fun-loving man who will be forever missed. He leaves behind his beloved wife Eunice, a daughter Leeann Rohde, grandchildren Monty and Angie Rohde, three great-grandchildren, two special nieces, Kay long and Carol Rosa, and countless friends around the world.

She was an ardent supporter of democracy and the American Republic, a defender of small business and a near-legendary garage-sale aficionado.

Out-side of work, Sheila loved searching for jewelry at local garage sales. Ever in search of the perfect gift for a friend , and not just for birthdays and holidays, she earned the nickname, “The Jewelry Lady.” A deeply devoted mother, she stepped away from her career for many years to raise her son, Noah, who credits her passion and entrepreneurial spirit for his own success in life.

Howard, Alex
Alex Howard – Walsenburg World – September 17, 1914 – Puebloan Slain From Ambush – Pueblo – Alex Howard, engineer at the Pueblo smelter, was shot and killed from ambush when he was on his way to work at midnight. A searching party found his body lying beneath the Spring Street viaduct. One bullet penetrated his head and the other pierced his heart. People living near the scene said they remembered hearing two shots fired there at midnight, but they paid no attention to them. The search only originated when Howard failed to report for work and was found to have left his boarding house on D Street at the regular time. Several dollars in change and a gold watch discredited the robbery motive and the police are working on the theory that jealousy caused the shooting. Howard is said to have been in love with an Austrian woman.

Howell, Joshua Randall
Joshua Howell - Chronicle News - May 22, 2006 - Fatal crash on Highway 160 - The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a one-car motor vehicle crash that occurred early Friday morning on Colorado 160, approximately six miles east of Trinidad. Hoehne High School graduate Joshua Howell, 21, was driving a 2005 Dodge Neon east on 160, when it collided with a cow belonging to his family that was in the middle of the highway. Following the impact, the vehicle went off the right side of the road, collided with a fence, continued traveling into a nearby pasture and then hit an irrigation pipe. It then crossed an irrigation ditch and came to a final rest on its wheels, facing east. Howell sustained fatal injuries from the impact with the cow and was pronounced dead at the scene by Las Animas County Coroner Robert Bukovic. Although it was discovered that Howell was not restrained at the time of the impact, the vehicle air bags did deploy.

Survived by his wife and soul mate, Lynn; five children, 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Don loved the Broncos, hunting, fishing and being outdoors. Some thoughts from those he loved: Taught me how to live life for me and never give up. Always have confidence in everything I do. Taught me how to be brave and have hope in what I want to accomplish. Grandpa Don was an amazing man. So stubborn and ornery. He loved to give me a hard time and I always called him trouble. I will miss him. He fought a good fight and now he can rejoice in heaven. I’m going to miss my partner, my mentor, hunting buddy and father. One in a million! He may not have always been perfect, but he was my Dad and perfect for me. He had a great sense of humor. He has always been a major player in the lives of my children. I will miss him so much. God has you in His keeping; we have you in our hearts. At Don’s request, no services. Private memorial at a later date.

Huddleston, Sam
Sam Huddleston - Denver Post - January 14, 2007 - Pioneer in landscape architecture and regional planning - Sam L. Huddleston, nationally noted landscape architect and regional planner, died January 5 at the Christian Assisted Living Center in Denver. He was 92. Mr. Huddleston was a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), a founder of the Colorado ASLA chapter, and a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP).Widely known to friends and acquaintances as "Sam," Mr. Huddleston conducted a national practice for 35 years from his consulting firm, Sam L. Huddleston and Associates, located on South Josephine in Denver's University Park. A determined advocate of water-saving landscape design, he was the co-author with Michael Hussey of the frequently reprinted 1975 book, Grow Native: Landscaping with Native and Apt Plants of the Rocky Mountains. The book was prescient in that it was years ahead of the Xeriscape movement and the popularizing of water conservation. Mr. Huddleston believed that adopting native plants "is an expression by humans of their appreciation of nature and their desire to be in harmony with it" and that "man has no alternative but to work harder to adjust his lifestyle to the environment, rather than vice versa." Mr. Huddleston was born in Nelson, British Columbia in 1914 and was the last surviving member of a family of four boys. He grew up in Canada but received his B.A. degree in landscape architecture at the University of Illinois in 1937. Before joining the U.S. Army in 1942 as an Engineer in the European Theater of Operations (ETO), Mr. Huddleston spent several years with the U.S. National Park Service helping design the 481-mile Blue Ridge Parkway that winds through the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Virginia. He was among the top two percent of the 2,500 who took the first-ever U.S. Civil Service exam. During his Army service, he created three-dimensional maps and models of combat zones for use by battle planners. After World War II ended, Mr. Huddleston spent several months in Paris reconstructing war-damaged towns and then rejoined the National Park Service to continue work on the Blue Ridge Parkway and undertake design of the Natchez Trace Parkway in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. After acquiring the McCrary landscape architecture and planning firm in 1948, Mr. Huddleston began building his reputation as a planner and designer who was sensitive to the environment and the out-of-doors while being practical and progressive. His early design and planning projects include: portions of the Valley Highway (I-25) in Denver; Franklin Mountain Wilderness Park near El Paso, Texas; a 100,000-acre regional park system plan for Maricopa County (Phoenix), Arizona; and the Colorado Big Thompson project. Colorado comprehensive plans include those for: Trinidad/Las Animas County; Walsenburg/Huerfano County; Breckenridge/Summit County; and Leadville/Lake County. Many of these planning documents were donated by Mr. Huddleston to the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library before his death. The comprehensive Environmental Resources Inventory conducted for Maricopa County was one of the first such efforts in the nation. As longtime residents of University Park near the University of Denver, Mr. Huddleston and his wife, Jo, are remembered fondly as friendly and always active neighbors. Mr. Huddleston was the driving force behind the community's "block captain" network and worked feverishly on the Historic Buchtel Boulevard Trail and Prairie Park, the University Park Elementary School Peace Garden, and other planning and beautification projects. Always the inveterate outdoorsman, Mr. Huddleston was a fly fisher extraordinaire. He loved to stalk the wily trout whether brown, rainbow, brook, or cutthroat. When he had a little free time, he could be found on one of his favorite streams in South, Middle, or North Parks using his stealth approach and quiet casting to hook and then release another trout. Mr. Huddleston was preceded in death by his wife, Josephine (Jo) Carmouche, and his son, Stephen. He is survived by his son, Mark, and grandson, Ryan, of Denver and by another grandson, Matthew, of Seattle. Mr. Huddleston was a longtime member of University Park United Methodist Church where a memorial service will be held at 3:00 P.M. on Tuesday, January 16. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the church courtyard landscaping project at 2180 S. University Blvd., Denver, CO 80210.

Hudson, Joshua B.
Joshua B. Hudson – Walsenburg World – September 12, 1905 – Joshua B. Hudson, an old and respected pioneer resident of Huerfano County, died at his home near St. Mary’s at 9 o’clock Friday evening, September 9, 1905, after a lingering illness of many months. Mr. Hudson was born in the state of Maryland, April 8, 1841. At an early age he shaped a westward course, settling in Missouri, which was at that time a frontier state. Here he was happily married and started in to build up a home for his family but the unsettled conditions brought on by the Civil War frustrated his plans and after many losses, which would have disheartened a less brave and resourceful man, he and his faithful wife once more set their faces westward, finally settling in Huerfano County in the later sixties. They started their new home in the Huerfano Canyon and here Mr. and Mrs. Hudson began anew the struggle of life. After many years of hardship, fortune smiled on their efforts, and at one time Mr. Hudson was estimated to be worth a quarter of a million, most of which was made in the cattle business. In 1882 Mr. and Mrs. Hudson moved to Pueblo to obtain better educational advantages for their children and it was while living there that the faithful wife and mother passed to her reward. Mr. Hudson never seemed to recover from the sorrow of his wife’s death and this coupled with financial troubles hastened the end. Mr. Hudson served on the Board of County Commissioners of this county and had many warm personal friends. During his years of prosperity he gave with a liberal hand were ever help seemed needed, but was always quiet and unostentatious with both his life and good deeds. He is survived by four sons and two daughters, the third daughter, Mrs. Earnest Graham having died about 15 years ago. The surviving members of the family are: Mrs. H. H. Churchill of Pueblo, Mrs. Young Farr of this city, Walter I. Hudson of St. Mary’s, T. N. Hudson of Gardner, Virgil D. Hudson of Pueblo and J. B. Hudson, Jr. of Gardner. The funeral services were conducted from the home of T. M. Hudson at Gardner Sunday, the remains being followed to their last resting place by many sorrowing friends and relatives.

Huerta, Eddy
Eddy Huerta - Pueblo Chieftain - November 14, 2017 - Body found in Runyon Lake - The body of a man was found and recovered from Runyon Lake Monday late afternoon and authorities are working to determine the man's identity and how he died. The Pueblo Police Department got a report about a body floating in the east portion of Runyon Lake around 4 p.m. Someone in the area came across the body and reported it to police. The body, which is that of a man in his mid-40s, was removed from the lake shortly after first responders arrived at the lake. "At this point we're in the process of identifying the body and the coroner will be taking a look at him, as well as our investigators, to see if we can determine a cause of death," Capt. Kenny Rider of the police department said at the scene. It's unclear how long the body had been in the lake. Rider said that at this point there are no signs of foul play but emphasized that the investigation is ongoing. "We just don't know what it is right now that caused the death," Rider said. Pueblo Chieftain - November 14, 2017 - Man found in Runyon Lake identified - The man whose body was found in Runyon Lake on Monday afternoon was identified Tuesday by Pueblo County Coroner Brian Cotter as Eddy Huerta, 45, of Pueblo. Cotter said it's suspected that Huerta died of drowning. An autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday to confirm that suspicion. No foul play is suspected in the death, according to Capt. Kenny Rider of the Pueblo Police Department. Huerta's body was found in the east part of Runyon Lake just before 4 p.m. Monday by a fisherman, according to Rider. The fisherman hooked the body and, upon realizing what was on the other end of his line, backed away and called 911. Police and members of the Pueblo Fire Department then responded to the scene to pull the body out of the lake. Rider said that it didn't look like Huerta's body had been in the water for too long and estimated that it had been there for no more than a couple of days. Details about how Huerta's body ended up in the lake are unclear at this time. Pueblo Chieftain - November 22, 2017 - Eddy Huerta, 45, of Pueblo, went to be with the Lord on Nov. 13, 2017.

Hunt, Elda
Elda Hunt - Wet Mountain Tribune - May 28, 1998 - Death of Elda Hunt marks end of pioneer Valley family by Raymond Koch - The death of Elda Elizabeth Hunt, 96, in Denver on May 10, 1998, marks the end of an era for a well-known Wet Mountain Valley [Custer County] pioneer family. Mrs. Hunt was the last surviving immediate member of the August Koch family that had begun ranching near Hillside [Fremont County] over 100 years ago. Elda's father, the patriarch of the family, August, was born in [the village of Breitenborn near] Frankfurt-on-the-Meine, Germany, in 1866. He had immigrated with his parents, Frederick and Elizabeth, and brothers, Conrad, Peter, and Fred, to the United States. The young German family joined the German Colonization Company organized in Chicago in August 1869 by Carl Wulsten, a Prussian who had served in the Union Army during the Civil War. The resulting German colony consisted of 92 families, comprising 337 souls. They journeyed from Chicago to the Wet Mountain Valley—or El Mojada, as it was known by the Ute Indians and early Spaniards—in the spring of 1870. Thirty-eight six-mule government wagons and nearly as many ox teams and wagons loaded with machinery, agricultural implements, household goods, provisions and machinery for a grist mill, sawmill, flour mill and a sash and door factory entered the Valley on March 20, 1870. They proceeded to the six by eight mile area in the south part of the Valley that had been scouted the previous year by a three-man group. The colony parceled out one-acre plots to each family, surrounding the town of Colfax, so named to recognize the positive support provided the German colonists by President Grant's vice-president, Schuyler Colfax. The site of Colfax was on what is now the Hartbauer Ranch seven miles south of Westcliffe. The colony failed to survive until the five-year anniversary when—if all had gone according to plan—assets of the venture were to be divided among the surviving company members. A crop failure related to late planting and an unusually early frost and the destruction of the common storehouse by fire led to a dissolution of the colony only a year after its founding. Like many of their fellow colonists, the Koch families were determined to find a way to survive and remain in their newfound homeland. They spread to several areas in the Valley. Some homesteaded land or purchased or traded with those leaving the colony for needed acreage. As young August came of age, his parents returned to Germany to find him a bride. Marie Noll, a young, strong, adventurous fraulein from an old Germanic family in the Bavarian village of Breitenborn, accepted both the challenge and the opportunity of the new western land and returned with Frederick and Elizabeth. August and Marie were married in 1889 in the Wet Mountain Valley. And their family grew, from first daughter Katie's birth in 1891 to Elda's birth in 1902, including eight sons, with George, born in 1910, the youngest. The Koch's pursued various ventures during these early years - all related to the maturing family work force. Centered around the family ranch near Hillside, they included cutting and milling timbers for the mines dotting the hills east of the valley. They also built an ice house and cut ice off ranch ponds and lower lakes or reservoirs in the Sangre de Cristo range. On a siding built on the ranch they filled ice bunkers on Denver and Rio Grande Railroad refrigerated cars carrying Valley produce from the Westcliffe produce packing sheds to Texas Creek and on to distant markets. Later they operated a commercial ice and cold storage business. The family owned some of the first steam-driven tractors and engaged in hay and grain harvesting in addition to cattle ranching. They also built a family-operated dance hall just off the highway at the ranch entrance. The Saturday night dances became a must-attend social event in the Valley, especially during the lean days of the Great Depression when few could afford more expensive forms of entertainment. Elda carried on her mother's avocation for fine sewing and was a practicing seamstress. She married Norton Hunt in 1923. Although she lived in Denver for years, and in a rest home in Thornton prior to her death, Elda and Norton were frequent visitors to the Valley and to the family ranch. Norton was a devoted trout fisherman and enjoyed climbing to the high lakes in the Sangres as soon as the ice was off in the late spring. Elda's survivors include a son, a daughter, Betty Ginther-Nielsen of Texas [who died in September 2000]; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews. Mrs. Hunt was interred at Crown Hill cemetery near Denver on May 15.

Hunt, Mary
Mary Hunt – Walsenburg World – July 10, 1913 – In Memoriam – Died at her home on Capitol Hill, Saturday, July 5, 1913, Mrs. Mary Hunt, age 67 years. Mrs. Hunt has been an invalid for years and a short time before her death she was taken to the Minnequa Hospital in Pueblo where it was thought treatment from that source might prove beneficial, but the skilled physician was of no avail in fighting back the ravages of disease, to avert the evitable; the great destroyer had placed his signet on her brow, and after her return to her home she lived but a short time. Rev. J. A. McKee conducted the funeral services at her home Saturday afternoon. Mr. Clyde Hunt and Mr. W. C. Hunt left Saturday evening with the remains for Monticello, Iowa, where interment will take place in the family cemetery. Mrs. Hunt was born July 5, 1846 in Huron, Ohio; where she made her home until her marriage to Mr. George Hunt December 14, 1865. Grinnell, Iowa, was her home until she, with her son, came to Walsenburg, where she resided for many years. Mrs. Hunt leaves two sons, Mr. O. C. Hunt of Montezuma, Iowa, and Mr. W. C. Hunt of this city, to mourn her death. To everyone the deceased was loved and known as “Auntie” Hunt and even though she was a shut in, she made numberless friends who passed many pleasant hours at her home. Among us all she ranked as a woman of culture, refinement, sympathy, a kind neighbor, a devoted mother and a true friend, and with all a woman of heroic mold in bravely meeting the stern requirements of life. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Well may those who are left to mourn, cherish her memory, as only that of a mother can be cherished, and the writer, together with the many friends of the family, fain would say a word of comfort, we can but extend a most heartfelt sympathy, for mere words are but empty things – yet, He who “has born our grief and carried our sorrows” will comfort and sustain. A friend.

Walsenburg World – November 8, 1913 – In Memoriam – Thomas Wycoff Hunter, oldest son of former Judge Henry Hunter, of the third judicial district, died shortly after 10 o’clock Thursday, October 31, at the family residence at Pine and San Juan Streets. The death of the young man is a matter of genuine sorrow and regret to a large circle of friends. He was 15 years of age, a student at Trinidad High School, being president of the freshman class. He was most popular among his schoolmates and of most genial and companionable temperament. The deceased was an unusually bright and promising boy and made a splendid record in school. He showed evidences of a marked ability along lines that suggested a brilliant career. His death is a sad blow to his parents and intimate friends. Services were held at the family residence on Pine St., Saturday at 11:30, Rev. R. E. Chandler officiating. The home was filled with friends of the deceased, mostly high school students and class members. The funeral cortège left the house immediately after the services and proceeded to the D&RG train, where the body was taken on for shipment to Walsenburg, the funeral and interment taking place in that cemetery this afternoon. Besides the parents, Rev. R. E. Chandler, Mr. and Mrs. George Mason, and Mr. Summers accompanied the remains to Walsenburg. The pallbearers were members of the freshman class of the Trinidad High School of which the deceased was president. They were Abe Mason, Stanley Greene, Adolph Richter, Price Dunlavy, Jr., Russell Murray and Robert Smith. From Chronicle News and Trinidad Advertiser. Walsenburg World – November 8, 1913 – The mourners were met at the D&RG station in this city by relatives and friends, and after a short funeral service conducted by Rev. George M. Darley, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wycoff, grandparents of the deceased, interment took place in the Masonic Cemetery. Many of the older residents of Walsenburg remember Tom Hunter as he was familiarly called, and who lived with his parents in our midst for many years before they moved to Trinidad. His bright, cheery ways made friends for him wherever he went. It is sad, indeed, that one with a future so full of promise should be taken so unexpectedly from a devoted family circle and his many friends. The loss is a deep and lasting one. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved ones.

At this time a second automobile came up containing William Reed and Jack Parker who saw the third shot which killed Hunter. The murderers then boarded a C. & S train and went to Denver and then to Lafayette, where they told their sister about the killing; she told her husband, and he notified the officers who finally traced the fugitives to Price.

Hurtado, Audrey
Audrey Hurtado - Chronicle News - November 8, 2016 - Crime - Cold case: Decades-old Buena Vista murder, with Trinidad ties, solved - The murder of a Trinidad woman, Audrey Hurtado, in Buena Vista 39 years ago has finally been laid to rest officials from Buena Vista and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced Thursday. In 2009, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) reopened the case of Audrey Hurtado, who was 17 when she was found stabbed to death in a Buena Vista field in 1977. On July 28, 1977, Hurtado was reported missing to the Buena Vista Police Department. She had been visiting her sister from her home in Trinidad. Hurtado told her sister she was going for a walk with a young white male. She never returned. A 15-year-old California boy identified as “C.K.” (who CBI is not identifying because he was a minor at the time) became the prime suspect in the death. C.K. was also visiting family in Buena Vista at the time of the homicide, staying with his family about one block from where Hurtado was staying. The investigation revealed C.K. had stolen a knife from a local sports store a week before the homicide. The knife was consistent with the type used to kill Hurtado. C.K.’s family discovered he had stolen the knife and made him return it before the homicide. It was later learned a similar knife had been stolen again from the local sports store the day of the homicide. Although C.K. was questioned in Hurtado’s death, there was never sufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges against him. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1981, just four years later. The case went cold and remained unsolved. During the initial investigation, Buena Vista Police Chief Chuck Campton collected biological samples from Hurtado and packaged them in a way that was exemplary, especially for 1977 protocols, said a release from the Buena Vista Police Department. Over the years, the evidence was preserved in hopes that advances in technology might yield new results. Additional items of evidence were then resubmitted to the CBI forensic laboratory for additional testing. The biological samples taken from under Hurtago’s fingernails in 1977 were submitted to a laboratory for analysis along with DNA samples from known relatives of C.K. The two samples were compared and the results indicated there was a match identifying C.K. as the killer. The case was presented to the Chaffee County District Attorney’s Office, which determined the case was solved. Afterward, officials met with Hurtado’s relatives, which includes family still in Trinidad, to tell them about who her killer was and how they identified him.
