| Damson, ? | Aspen Weekly Times 5-5-1888 – Local and Personal – Detective DeLue arrived from Denver Sunday with a warrant for Frank Green, charging him with fraud. Under Sheriff Calvin went to Ashcroft and arrested Green, and DeLue left for Denver on the noon train with his prisoner. The warrant is founded upon some alleged fraudulent money transaction, but the most serious charge against Green is one of having conspired with a woman to drug and rob a man named Damson. The drug set the victim crazy and he has just been released from the insane asylum after a confinement of nine months. |

| Dane, John H. | Aspen Tribune 11-30-1897 – Emulator of Luetgert – Denver Hotel Runner Becomes Insane and Wants to Kill His Family – And Then Creamate Them – Too Close Application to the Sausage Maker's Trial It Is Said Made Him Crazy – Denver, Nov. 29. – John H. Dane, until recently a hotel runner, was arrested by Police Sergeant Heinig and Officer Holland at noon today and locked up in the city jail on the charge of insanity. He read the testimony of the witnesses in the Leutgert murder trial in Chicago and became possessed of a frenzy to kill his wife and two children and burn their bodies in the old city garbage crematory. He is undoubtedly insane. On Friday morning last Dane's hallucination reached a dangerous climax and ever since then his family has lived in constant terror of their lives. Arising from his bed that morning he paid a visit to the crematory, which has long been in disuse. Returning to the house about an hour later he said to his wife: “I have made arrangements to start the fires at once. I will follow in the footsteps of the great Luetgert. I will vindicate his name. You and the children may prepare for death at once.” Dane remained in a very morose state of mind until morning and all efforts of his wife and children to sooth him were unavailing. This morning Mrs. Dane noticed that her husband frequently tested the edge of an axe which lay in the coal shed at the rear of the house. She asked him why he did so and he replied: “If the fires are not soon lighted in the factory I shall use some other means to put you and your children out of your misery.” Thoroughly alarmed at this insane threat Mrs. Dane watched her opportunity and about noon smuggled her children out of the house to the home of a neighbor. The neighbor at once notified the police. When Sergeant Heinig and Officer Holland arrived at 20 Argo street they found Dane strutting about the yard with the axe over his shoulder and glancing threateningly in the direction of the crematory. He made no resistence to arrest, merely saying: “You have come in time; in another hour I should have done the deed.” At the city jail Dane was locked up in a dark cell. His wife will probably file an insanity complaint against him in the district court. He is about 35 years of age and his two children are aged 5 and 2 years. |

| Daugherty, Halla C. | Creede Candle 11-21-1914 – Former Creede Woman Adjudged Insane at Hearing – The following article was taken from the Pueblo Star Journal dated November 17. Mrs. Halla C. Daugherty, who formerly conducted a rooming house at Union avenue and C street, was adjudged insane at a hearing in Woodcroft sanitorium yesterday and an order was entered for her removal to the state hospital for the insane. Mrs. Daugherty was (a) complaining witness in an assault case against Jim Hurt, a stockman of Center, a short time ago, and the excitement affected her mind. It was shown she had little grounds for a suit, and the defendant declared she was trying to blackmail him. |

He does not anticipate any trouble with him, but does not propose to take any chances. He ironed him before he started. Davis did not want to go and thought that his friends here ought to interfere. About eighteen months ago Mr. Hooper had a thrilling experience with a lunatic whom he was taking to the asylum. The man was named Hart. They had proceeded as far as Pueblo and were going out to the asylum in a cab. Suddenly the madman jumped upon his keeper and commenced to choke him. In a moment Mr. Hooper discovered that the fellow had hold of his gun and was pulling it from the scabbard. A desperate struggle ensued and the insane man was not conquered until the driver stopped his team and came to the officer's assistance. At the asylum Hart told the keeper that he meant to have killed the deputy sheriff if he had gotten the gun. Frank discovered his attempt just in time to save his life. He takes no more chances. |

| Davis, R.C. | Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 – Insane Men Prisoners – Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy – Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder – Denver, Jan. 31. – Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities. |

Among the prisoners who will be investigated are James Oldham who was sent to the penitentiary from Routt county in 1916. He is serving a term of 35 to 50 years for murder. John Jones who was sent from Moffat county to the penitentiary for murder in 1916 will also be investigated. Ray C.

| Davis, Richard M. | 15 March 1901 New Castle Nonpareil, Sheriff Adams came down yesterday to summon a jury to sit in the case inquiring into the sanity of R.M. Davis and summoned the following: George Norris, Wm. Bradley, G.L.Noren and Wm Pearson. The trial was had before Judge Beardsley in the county court and Drs. Hotopp, Crook and Dean were the witnesses. The inquiry developed that Dick had threatened certain persons in New Castle, telling he would “fix” them if he ever got down there. He reiterated this statement in open court and, it is fair to presume, it was not without its influence on the jury. They found him to be a person to whom it would not be safe to give liberty and he was taken to the state insane asylum at Pueblo today. Nearly everyone is familiar with the accident that happened to Dick nearly two years ago, when his injuries were of such a nature that the doctors said he could live but a very few hours. To the surprise of all he recovered, but was never the same, either mentally or physically, as before the accident. His wife was compelled to have him put under bonds to have him keep the peace and, as he couldn't give them, he was in jail the greater part of last summer. After his wife had gotten a divorce, the county commissioners sent him to relatives across the range, where it was supposed he would have care and a home. A few week since word came that he was a public charge in Fremont County. He was returned to Glenwood a short time ago, and the trial of yesterday followed. |

Davis was taken in charge by the police in a demented condition, and turned over to the sheriff. He is now confined in jail. The unfortunate man has lost his reason by brooding over religious subjects and labors under the idea that he is the Savior.

| Deardoff, Ellen | Boulder Daily Camera 4-16-1894 – A concensus of public opinion in the Deardoff shooting case would clear the woman of murder or manslaughter. It might send her to the insane asylum, for she has for years been a fit subject for that institution, but so far as goes her specific act of shooting into a crowd of hoodlums, assembled at an unseemly hour of the night, to annoy her or gratify the lowest passions, she stands acquitted. Every man's home is his castle and disturbers of anyones right to enjoy the quiet of his or her home deserve the death that so suddenly came to James Heffner. It would require all the energies of a gatling gun to rid the community of its nuisance element of low down, idle and vicious men and boys and we can only say in conclusion, more power to your gun, Mrs. Deardoff. |

| Deardoff, Ellen | Boulder Daily Camera 4-16-1894 – Mrs. Deardoff Shoots – And James Heffner, the Painter, is now a Corpse – The body of James Heffner at the undertaking rooms of Coroner Trezise attracted large crowds all day. The man died in those same rooms at 12:30 this morning, two hours and a half after he was shot by Mrs. Cyrus Deardoff. The story of the shooting is soon told, though, probably, by reason of the questionable nature of the witnesses, the exact truth will never be known. It appears that Mrs. Deardoff, who is a crazy woman undoubtedly, has for years kept a trysting place for disreputables of both sexes, alternately sobering up and getting religion and relapsing again into a continual state of bacchanalian revels. Sunday night, as her story goes, Heffner and a crowd of loafers came to her place and made considerable noise on the outside. She says that Heffner kicked at her door and demanded admission. “Let me in, or I'll kick the d--d door down,” he shouted from the outside. “You go away,” she replied, “I don't want nothing to do with you or any of your crowd.” Heffner or someone from the outside continued their pounding, however, when Mrs. Deardoff called out, “you go away or I'll shoot right through you.” The kicking and pounding being kept up, Mrs. Deardoff opened the door and fired. It happened that Heffner was on or near the door step and he caught the full effect of the first and only shot. It was only a 32 calibre ball, but it went through the corner of Heffner's right eye and lodged in the base of the brain. Young Lakin and Bass, who were of the party, hastened up town and notified Mr. Trezise. Lyman, the hackman, went to the place, secured the body and brought Heffner to the undertaking rooms, where he died two hours later. Sheriff Dyer at once took a hand and Mrs. Deardoff was lodged in jail. The coroner impaneled a jury and notified all parties that he would begin an inquest at 1 o'clock this afternoon. There can be no question that Mrs. Deardoff is insane. Her eccentric conduct for years has led to this belief, but it was supposed that she would be a harmless sort of lunatic. As it is, she has not robbed the community of anything it prized very highly. Heffner was a dissolute fellow and his base instincts need no further testimony than that he was besieging this notorious woman's house at a time when all good citizens should have been at home. About a year ago Heffner married Mrs. Brumley, a professional nurse, who left him some months ago, owing to his dissolute habits. Coroner Trezise impanelled the following jury: H. C. Legge, L. M. Pickel, Dr. M. Jay, T. J. Lafferty, Dr. G. Thraikill and Henry Green. The jury viewed the body at 1 p.m. and began to hear testimony, the district attorney's office being represented by Hon. Charles M. Campbell. Besides Bass and Lakin, who are reported above as having been of the party, it is stated that Harry Neal, Hoyt Brown and Fran Wise were there. |
| Deardoff, Ellen | Boulder Daily Camera 4-17-1894 – The fact that we deal too leniently with people whom all recognize as mentally unsound is developed in the Deardoff case. This unfortunate woman is and has been insane for years. She may some day shoot a man or woman worth something to society. She should be tried for lunacy and if adjudged insane, placed beyond the means of doing harm. |

| DeBarneure, Rufus | Summit County Journal and Breckenridge Bulletin 5-7-1910 – Rufus DeBarneure Declared Insane – On Wednesday, a jury of six good and true citizens were empanneled in the county court and after hearing the testimony of the witnesses, retired to their room and after a short deliberation returned a verdict: that they believed him so distracted in mind as to endanger his life and property or the life and property of another, and Judge Fall directed his removal to the state institution in Pueblo, where sheriff J. G. Detwiler took him the next day. Mr. DeBarneure is an old timer here and the type of insanity, though mild now may at any time change. His mind runs on his son Bert, who the father thinks he owes and is afraid will kill him and at times thinks he ought to kill Bert to protect himself. The case is a sad one, as Mr. DeBarneure is beloved by all who know him and his acquaintances are all over the county and the same in Park county, for he lived there for a number of years. |

| DeBault, Walter Clinton | Carbonate Chronicle 10-21-1918 – Strange Case of Walter De Bault – Walter Clinton De Bault – that is the name of “August 23d,” the demented man who surrendered himself with peculiar statements the night of September 12 to Clerk McMahon of the army board and asked to be arrested because he had not registered under the federal man power law. County Attorney Pendery cajoled the name from the man Monday when he visited him at the county jail. De Bault freely admitted having this name when he was examined in the county court yesterday afternoon, but he took pains to point out that he possessed the monicker only before and up to August 23. As on all previous examinations, he persistently stated that “something happened to me on August 23 which I cannot tell you.” He now thinks he has no name and believes his body has undergone a complete transformation, which is continuing since that date. The county attorney, Attorney Frank E. Purple, appointed by the court for De Bault, Drs. H. A. Calkins and A. J. McDonald of the lunacy commission also gleaned from De Bault's remarks that he ran away from home when he was 14 years old while attending the eighth grade school; but as to where this home was, he finally refused to state, declaring it did not concern anyone, tho if he thot it had been the Lord's intentions to have him tracked thru his past life, he would divulge the name of the town. He considers, he said, that his life began again on August 23, but up until that time he was 33 years and 7 months old. His father was an implement dealer and county auditor, he further said, but he would not give additional details. He has not heard from his father for twelve years, nor from his mother, brothers and sisters. There had never been any insanity in the family, he told the examiners. De Bault's statements made it plain that he is suffering from a hallucination which takes a religious turn. He quoted the bible yesterday, told how he was baptised four years ago in Billings, Mont., tho he had not led a different sort of life since, and said his actions at present concern only him and God. Shrewdly he explained to the doctors that if he and they could exchange personalities, he would think, just as they do, that he was insane and decidedly peculiar. De Bault's language shows that he has added considerable reading to his grammar school education and is what is called well educated. He has been a cowboy, sheepherder and ranch hand, he told the examiners. Until August 23 he was always filled with “a lust for money,” action, better position, he said, and had travelled “on and on looking for greener fields ahead.” He had “suffered privation and hardships,” and explaining these, he said he was “broke.” After August 23 and before September 12, knowing he would be arrested sooner or later for not registering, he said he spent all his money to have the benefit of it before going to jail. He had always got along nicely with his employers, he continued, and could get a job again with any of them except those he quit in a huff over some small provocation for which he felt sorry afterward. Having heard the story before, Probation Officer Herrigan elicited the information from De Bault that four years ago in Billings, Montana, he had bought a gun and had intended to hold up the town and shoot it afterward, but walking along the river, he had met a missionary, who baptized him. He then threw the gun in the river, and never since had he experienced similar vengeful desires. Both doctors believed De Bault is suffering from paresis, a softening of the brain. They did not think he was dangerous to himself or the community. They will make their recommendation to Judge O'Mahoney today. |
| DeBault, Walter Clinton | Carbonate Chronicle 10-21-1918 – Mentally Unbalanced - … Walter Clinton De Bault, a sheepherder, 33 years old, examined on the same day, will be sent to the state asylum at Pueblo on recommendation of the commission. He is suffering from a hallucination of a religious turn, and his mental condition is affected by paresis. De Bault, who divulged his name only last week, gave himself up September 12 last, telling the officers he had not registered under the man power law and wanted to be arrested. He claims that he underwent a transformation on August 23 last which completely changed his physical being, and on that account he will not tell where he came from, or who his relatives are. |
| DeBault, Walter Clinton | Carbonate Chronicle 1-13-1919 – De Bault is Released – The government not wishing to take further action, Sheriff Schraeder has released from the county jail Walter Clinton De Bault, the sheep herder who gave himself up on September 12 with the declaration that he would not register under the man power law on that date because “something happened on August 23” which changed his life and prevented him from registering tho he declared he was not disloyal. He was found to be mentally unbalanced by the county lunacy commission on October 16 and was ordered taken to the state hospital at Pueblo. Later County Judge O'Mahoney released him on “parole,” but the sheriff held him until recently to wait orders from the department of justice. De Bault's statements have shown that his main hallucinations center on religious themes. |

| Decker, J.D. | Rocky Mountain Sun 2-28-1891 – A man who goes by the name of J. D. Decker, was brought to Gunnison two or three weeks ago by Sheriff Bradley of Ouray county, and placed in jail there for safe keeping. He was arrested on the charge of horse stealing. After being put in the Ouray jail he threatened to burn it down and it was thought best to remove him. Sheriff Shores noticed his actions were somewhat peculiar ever since his confinement. Last Friday afternoon he had a hard fit, and after that time he was a raving maniac. For several days he would not eat a mouthful and was howling and screaming nearly all the time. He was very violent and it took several men to handle him. Sheriff Shores telegraphed to Sheriff Bradley to take the man off his hands, and accordingly that gentleman arrived and the insane man was taken before Judge McDougal on Monday, who decided that he be sent to the Pueblo Insane Asylum, and Sheriff Bradley left with him that evening. – Gunnison Tribune. |

| DeHart, James | Littleton Independent 2-14-1919 – In A Quandary – The County Court appointed a lunacy commission to investigate into the sanity of James DeHart, recently. The commission found that the boy was irresponsible and unable to care for himself. He had been kept for some time by Mr. Daniels up in Pickletown, and later by Mr. Chas. Bryant, but these people could not keep him and he was sent to the reform school at Golden. After staying there for a short time the authorities at Golden sent him back, saying he could not be retained at that place as he was mentally unbalanced, and that the county would have to make some other disposition of him. The commission decided that he should be sent to the Home for Mental Defectives, but upon inquiry by the County Court at that institution they found that they had about four hundred applications ahead of this one and could not accept him. Now the Court is wondering where to place him, as he is too young to go to the asylum at Pueblo. |

| Deitz, John | Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 – Insane Men Prisoners – Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy – Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder – Denver, Jan. 31. – Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities. |

| Derr, Leonard | Eagle County Blade 1-23-1908 – Sheriff Henry returned from a trip to Pueblo yesterday morning. At the state insane asylum he met Leonard Derr, who was committed to that institution from this county several months ago. Derr appears to be in about the same condition both mentally and physically that he was when committed. |
| Derr, Lorenzo D. | Eagle County Blade 7-26-1906 – Convicted of Lunacy – Last Monday Lorenzo D. Derr, an old resident of the upper portion of the county, especially Minturn, was brought to the county seat by Sheriff M. J. Henry, on a lunacy charge. The trial occurred that afternoon before the County court and the defendant was convicted largely upon his own testimony and his appearance which plainly denoted his condition. The unfortunate man is a carpenter by trade but for many years has followed prospecting. Of late he has been interested with other Minturn parties in some mining claims on Game creek, and was found last week in his cabin in a demented and helpless condition. When found he was in bad condition physically as well as mentally, being very weak and apparently partially paralyzed on the right side. Dr. Greene, the county physician, was called in the case, and on the day of the trial the man had recovered much of his physical strength. But mentally he was in a practically helpless and irresponsible condition. He is not violent but seems to be almost wholly devoid of his mental faculties. He was taken to the state insane asylum at Pueblo by Sheriff Henry Tuesday morning. Mr. Derr, better known as “Len,” is sixty odd years of age and a veteran of the Civil war, on account of which service he receives a pension. He was unable to tell anything of his relatives, but from papers found among his effects it is evident that he has a nephew, a lawyer and prominent citizen of Reading, Pennsylvania. aka Leonard Derr |

| Detro, Abner | Fort Collins Courier 2-12-1908 – Detro Claims He Was Kidnapped – Former Fort Collins Man Brought from Alberta to Pueblo Asylum, Where Admission is Refused. The following dispatch is from Sunday's Denver Republican: Pueblo, Colo., Feb 8 – Kidnapped and deported as a lunatic from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Pueblo, is what Abner Detro today told the sheriff had happened to him. Detro says he went from Fort Collins to the province of Alberta, Canada, and with his wife took up 1,000 acres of land. Soon after becoming established he says he was arrested on the charge of lunacy and taken to Winnipeg. Detro arrived here in charge of an officer who gave his name as William Agnew. superintendent Busey refused to receive the alleged patient, believing that he was sane and that the commitment papers were not such as could be accepted. Detro will be sent to Fort Collins, where his father resides and where some action may be taken in the case. Nothing has been heard from Pueblo concerning the case by Fort Collins relatives of Detro. His father resides ninety miles northwest of town in this county, but Laramie is his trading point and it is likely that if Detro is sent to his father's address he will go via Cheyenne and Laramie. He is well-known here and it is believed that there is nothing wrong with him mentally, aside from the fact that he is addicted to drink. Detro has had a checkered career. His relatives here knew that an effort was being made by the Canadian authorities to have him committed to some institution, as papers were sent here by Canadian authorities some time ago for signature. The law of Alberta, the province in which he settled, is such that a person mentally unbalanced can be sent back to his native country or state. |

He was 42 years old. Devlin, who was a miner here before the attack of insanity, was taken to the Woodcroft institution after being adjudged insane, July 22, 1909 (?). On the following March 19 he was given into the custody of Michael Nugent when his mental condition had much improved, and until a few weeks ago when his condition again became serious, he had lived with the Nugents here. On June 16 he was retaken to the Woodcroft sanatorium when his state became aggravated again, an order for recommital having been given by the county court. His wife and three children are visiting relatives in Ireland. They will be notified of his death. |

The hymnal service was composed of two beautiful solos, “O Love Divine,” sung by Miss Harriet McLean, and “Face to Face,” by Mr. William F. Hennessy. Mr. Devlin had many friends in Leadville, and yesterday their respect was shown in many floral tributes which covered his casket. Mrs. Devlin, his wife, and four children were visiting in Ireland, his birthplace, when he was stricken by his last sickness. They reached New York at about the time he died on Saturday. They arrived in Leadville last Thursday night. The four children who survive with their mother are Lucille, aged 7; Dan, aged 6; Anna Mary, aged 4; and Edward, aged 8 months.

| Donaldson, Bob | Aspen Weekly Times 9-16-1893 – Donaldson's Hearing. He Is Adjudged Insane and Will be Sent Back to Pueblo – Bob Donaldson was Thursday taken to the county jail to await an investigation as to his sanity. He waived his privilege of a ten day's postponement of this case, saying he was ready for the examination to begin. His case was set for hearing at 2 p.m. and a jury summoned. The witnesses who testified regarding the manner of his actions on Wednesday when he took a gun away from William Lee, showed that he imagined some one was trying to drive him out of Aspen and he expressed it by saying: “B. Clark Wheeler and the gang could not make him go; he would be d _ _ d if they could.” He wanted a gun to shoot someone. Dr. Ramsey testified that Donaldson was suffering with impulsive insanity, a condition very similar to that in which a person is afflicted with epileptic fits; that the disease was more violent at times than at others and that he was an unsafe person to be allowed to go at large. He was adjudged insane and will be taken to Pueblo probably today or tomorrow. |
| Donaldson, Bob | 16 September 1893 Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitken County) A SPLIT IN POLICE COURT From Fridays Daily - During the past two or three weeks the relations between Judge Bradshaw on one hand and the city solicitor and the police on the other have been becoming more and more strained and ended in an open rupture at the morning session of police court. When Bob Donaldson returned from the asylum many wondered at his peculiar actions and that he had been dismissed, and when on Wednesday he tried to take a gun away from a man passing him he was taken in charge by the police and retained on a charge of disturbance till the proper action could be had in county court to give him a second hearing as to his sanity. He was taken into police court. City Attorney Bell drew up the warrant and complaint and asked Judge Bradshaw to sign the warrant, which he refused to do, saying that the prisoner was insane and not responsible for his acts. Mr. Bell informed the court that if he proposed to run things in that way he would not have a d-n thing to do with it and grabbing his hat left the room. The prisoner was discharged and told to go, the judge reiterating his statement that Bob was insane. Bob went. After coming down stairs the judge asked Marshal Greener to take Bob and come on down to the county court, which the good natured marshal refused to do, saying that he had done his duty and was through. The judge had to make the trip alone. The police have been complaining about not getting proper recognition at the hands of the court and this open hostility will in all probability result in some resignations, or in some declarations of vacancies at the coming session of the city dads. |

| Donaldson, Robert | Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitkin County) July 15 1893 Found Insane - Robert Donaldson Again Tried on the Question of His Sanity. The hearing of Robert Donaldson was taken up in the county court Saturday morning, and a jury of six men listened to the evidence and found him guilty. Donaldson is the man who could not resist the temptation to wander around the Hyman block, and Mr. Bell, who is the only resident there, had him arrested that he might be properly taken care of. A number of witnesses were examined on points relating to his peculiar actions, but when Donaldson took the stand he left no doubt of his unbalanced mind. He says he is constantly haunted with a loud noise in his ears, which bothers him when he is alone, or tries to go to sleep. He says at first he thought he imagined it, but he had studied over the matter till he came to the conclusion that it was no imagination; he knew it was a reality. He did not want to tell who were the parties making the noise, but thought “someone had it in for him” as he expressed it, and he was in constant terror. When asked by the attorney if he found out who was doing this and could get them to stop no other way, he would kill them, he replied that he thought that would be a little tough but that something would have to be done. Dr. Green testified that Donaldson was suffering with that stage of insanity known as melancholia and that while he was now harmless and seemingly depressed, he might undergo a change at any time which would make him dangerous, either to himself or some imaginary enemy. He said that a change of scene and new fields of employment with the proper medical attention would undoubtedly restore his reason. He will be taken to the asylum for the insane in Pueblo as soon as possible |
| Donaldson, Robert | Aspen Weekly Times 1-14-1893 – Donaldson Found – He Is In Charge of the Officers of Lake County – >From Friday's Daily – A few days ago The Times spoke of the unaccountable disappearance of one Bob Donaldson from Gunn's boarding house in this city. It was the accepted opinion of his friends and associates that the poor fellow was slightly demented and that this fact fully accounted for his disappearance, which conclusion later developments fully confirm. Early this morning one of Aspen's correspondents for the Denver papers sent a message to his paper in which he mentioned the fact that nothing had been heard of Donaldson. The telegrapher sat down to send the message, and it so happened that at the same moment the operator in Leadville broke his own connection, and having nothing to do listened to the correspondent's information about Donaldson as it passed over the wire through his instrument. When the message was finished the Leadville operator clicked back to the Aspen telegrapher, “Why, that man's here in jail crazy as a loon.” When the mail came in from Leadville sure enough the Leadville Herald Democrat contained a full account of the finding of Donaldson in that city, referring to the matter as follows: “The perilous plight in which a strange acting man placed himself in the yards of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad yesterday afternoon compelled the officials to call upon the sheriff's posse to take him in charge. Yardmaster Cunningham filed the complaint and Under Sheriff Dunn went to the yards and became guardian of the fellow who is evidently deranged. Early in the day he showed up around the yards, and busied himself by volunteering, and without consent, to discharge the duties of switchman and brakeman combined. Several times he had narrow escapes from being killed or injured by falling under the wheels of the moving cars, and although he was continually warned to desist, he continued until taken in charge by Sheriff Dunn. The erratic individual was escorted to the county jail, where, upon examination, he was found to be badly bruised. His right shoulder was black and blue, and the flesh was painfully torn. His right hand was swollen and sore, but where he received the injuries he was unable to tell. All he knew was that he had received injuries four or five days ago on the railroad while coming to Leadville from Aspen. He said that his name was Bob Donaldson, and he was unable to tell what he had been doing or where he had been since he threw up a job in a mine at Tourtelotte park. County Physician Dr. J. J. Crook was summoned, and ordered the removal of the injured man to the county hospital, where his injuries were properly cared for.” Mr. Gunn, at whose rooming house Donaldson made his home, when informed last evening by The Times reporter that the poor fellow had been found seemed very much relieved. Mr. Gunn says that he has known Donaldson for about twelve years, and that he has many friends here in Aspen where he has lived for the last seven years. Several times during his career in this place he has managed to get possession of considerable property, but as often through bad management lost it again. When asked as to the probable cause of Donaldson's dementia, Mr. Gunn said he could attribute it to nothing else than his loss of money which he bet on the late election. He was of a despondent nature and worried himself much over his losses. Mr. Gunn says that Donaldson is an honorable citizen of Pitkin county and must be taken charge of by the county and with proper care and treatment believes that he will recover his mental balance in a short time. So far as known Donaldson has no relatives in this country. |

| Dougherty, James | Carbonate Chronicle 10-22-1917 – Jim Dougherty Had Delusions – Aged County Charge Adjudged Insane – Made Vicious Attack on Poor Old Paralytic Who Has Since Died – James Dougherty was adjudged insane by the county lunacy commission yesterday afternoon, and by coincidence on the same day (“Red”) Erwin, whom the eccentric old man severely beat with a broom stick at the county hospital, October 9, passed across the border. Erwin died at the county house at about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The beating given him in the night by Dougherty was not held responsible for his death, for the old man suffered a second stroke of paralysis only recently and it was feared he would not live long sometime before Dougherty was seized by the hallucination which caused him to assault the weak old invalid. Great excitement reigned among the aged men at the county hospital for several days after Dougherty made his strange attack on Erwin, who was 67 years old. He had the idea that he and Erwin were boyhood friends in Ireland, and he narrated to witnesses in court yesterday how Erwin used to berate and abuse him in their old country home. Erwin as a matter of fact, was born in Ohio and had never been in Ireland, but that information could not be impressed on Dougherty. His hallucination led him to nurse a deep and abiding grudge against the poor old fellow, who lay on a cot near his at the county house, suffering from incurable attacks of paralysis. Dougherty thot a great chance to get revenge had offered itself on the night of October 9 after all the lights had been turned out and the inmates of the home had gone to bed. He got up stealthily in the dark, pulled from under his pillow a hard, smooth broom stick, which he had surreptitiously hidden there, and fell upon “Red” Erwin with frenzied madness. Before the men in the beds nearby were awoke and Custodian Fred Minor had been attracted by the turmoil, Dougherty had badly bruised Erwin about the head and on one arm, which the old man had pulled from under the covers as best he could and put up to ward off the insane blows. Officers were called and Dougherty was taken to the county jail to await investigation of his mental condition. It had been believed for sometime that he was becoming erratic, but it had not been suspected that he would become violent. After he went to jail for safe keeping, he had the hallucination that sharp shooters were leveling their rifles at him and occasionally taking a shot at him. Dr. R. J. McDonald and Dr. J. A. Jeannotte of the county lunacy commission adjudged the old man insane yesterday and recommended that he be taken to the state asylum at Pueblo. Attorney Frank A. Purpie appeared as guardian ad litem for Dougherty and County Attorney H. R. Pendery represented the county in the proceedings. Andy Doyle, Jacob Smith and Fred Larson, aged inmates of the county hospital and Fred Minor, custodian were summoned as witnesses to tell of Dougherty's irrational actions at the hospital. Dougherty is 67 years old and has no relatives in Leadville. The Moynahan and O'Malia Undertaking company took charge of Erwin's body after his death early yesterday morning. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. |
| Dougherty, James | Carbonate Chronicle 10-29-1917 – Taken To Insane Asylum – Undersheriff John Murray returned yesterday morning from Pueblo, where he took to the state insane asylum James Dougherty, 67, who was adjudged insane in the county court Thursday last. Dougherty, who had lived here since the early days of the district, had been failing mentally for a number of months while living at the county hospital. While suffering from the hallucination that the late David Erwin, another inmate of the home who was born in Ohio, was an old boyhood enemy of his in Ireland, Dougherty attacked Erwin at the hospital the night of October 9 and beat him with a broom stick. Erwin was suffering from paralysis, of which he died the day Dougherty was adjudged insane. |

| Dougherty, Joe | Carbonate Chronicle 10-22-1917 – County Attorney Pendery will talk with County Judge O'Mahoney today, he said, in regard to Joe Dougherty, a former section man recently cared for at the county hospital, who is in the county jail, waiting action by the county lunacy commission. Dougherty's case has not yet been put before the county judge, it was said. It is believed Dougherty, who is advanced in years, is irrational. A few nights ago after all lights were turned out, he got out of bed, pulled a broom stick from under his pillow and badly beat “Red” Erwin, who is another inmate of the hospital. Erwin put up one hand to ward off the blows and his hand was injured as well as his face, where Dougherty pounded him. When his cries awakened other inmates and attracted Fred Minor, custodian, Erwin had already received painful bruises. Dougherty was then taken to the jail for safe keeping, it being feared that he is losing his mind. |

A hired man also testified the same. The case was submitted to a jury who brought in a verdict according to the above facts and recommendations. Mr. Dowding will take his son home for a short time, and at the first opportunity offered will send him to Pueblo. |

| Downey, John | Carbonate Chronicle 1-8-1917 – Examined By Insanity Experts – Dr. B. F. Griffith and Dr. E. A. Whitmore, composing the county court's examining board for insanity investigations, examined yesterday John R. Thomas, who was taken to the county jail for safe keeping several weeks ago, and Mike Downey, who was taken in during the raids on alleged bootleggers December 22. The doctors will make their recommendations to the county court on Saturday. It is possible both of these men will be sent to the asylum at Pueblo for future care. Thomas has been incoherent in his talk since he was taken in charge, it is said, and has failed generally in health during the last year. He was confined at the asylum several years ago and on being released, virtually recovered, he returned to Leadville, where he has lived since the early days. [ In all other articles he is referred to as John Downey.] |
| Downey, John | Carbonate Chronicle 1-8-1917 – Will Be Taken To Pueblo Asylum – John Downey, who has been an object of pity about Leadville's streets for a year or more, will be cared for in the future at the state asylum at Pueblo. The county court's examining board of physicians, Dr. E. A. Whitmore and Dr. B. F. Griffith, recommended yesterday that Downey be sent to this institution owing to his mental derangement, and their recommendation included also John E. Thomas, a pioneer resident who was cared for at the asylum ten years ago for a period of three years. Both men will be taken to the state asylum as soon as possible in view of the inadequate accommodations of the county jail to provide for such patients. For a year or more Downey has been deemed mentally incompetent, and has been a vagrant thru his inability to work. Summer and winter, in recent years, Downey has worn a long, black, heavy ulster which swept the sidewalk as he walked and this attire with his slouching gait made him a familiar character along Harrison avenue. He was taken in charge December 22, when the bootlegging raids were on. After being taken to jail, all of his clothes were taken from him and burned and Downey was dressed in a complete new outfit of clothing. For months he had slept in vacant buildings and alleys, wherever he could find a quiet place large enough to lie down on. He shuddered at the bath which accompanied the change of clothing and remarked, “New clothes are all right; old clothes are more comfortable.” Thomas was taken in custody December 11 when he was discovered talking incoherently in East Ninth street. It is believed both men will improve in mental condition under proper care and attendance at the state asylum. |

| Downing, Frank R. | Durango Democrat 2-19-1909 – Our Henry Bit – Yesterday Barrister Barry was complaining within hearing of Commissioner Scouton that poor old Frank Downing should have been sent to the asylum. Mr. Scouton observed: “Where would we send him, he was crazy and there was nothing else to do?” “Why,” rejoined Barry, the Barrister, “I saw a letter from a brother of his who wanted him to come to Denver on a 160-acre tract which could be worked as a frog farm, and the outdoor life would do him a world of good.” “A frog farm” ejaculated Scouton. “What in the dickens would he do with a frog farm in Denver.” And Barrister Barry replied “raise frogs, of course.” Then Henry, the Scouton, wanted to know who would buy the frogs and Barry, the Barrister, said the breweries would. “The breweries?” yelled Scouton. “What do breweries want of frogs, I'd like to know?” and the Barrister retorted: “Why, I presume, to make beer out of their hops,” and Charley Conroy and Bill Otton drank out of the red ink bottle by mistake while Henry wondered whattahell made everybody laugh so laughingly. |

| Doyle, John | Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 7-29-1886 – Sheriff Lamping arrived in town this afternoon with a candidate for the insane asylum, named John Doyle, of Leadville. Doyle is a character well known in Leadville's sporting circles, and was adjudged insane in the county court yesterday.-Pueblo Press. |
| Doyle, John | Carbonate Chronicle 1-21-1889 – A Sad Spectacle – For some days a familiar figure seen on Harrison avenue, is that of a frail looking man with restless eyes, a scanty beard and a pale face, attired in a loosely fitting suit, who walks almost continually up and down the middle of the street. He is, as the saying goes, “plum daft,” and although the man is accounted harmless, his actions are rather queer and certain to attract attention. He seldom goes on the sidewalks, preferring the middle of the avenue, with an utter disregard for passing vehicles. Usually he walks back and forth from Ninth street down to Fourth, seldom going off the avenue. For the past two days he has been gazing anxiously at the sun, watching it from morning till night. This is especially so late in the afternoon when he studies the sunset with every show of interest, stopping at some corner and looking at the orb until it sinks. Late last night a reporter saw him gazing intently at the moon. He will answer few questions that are propounded, maintaining the strictest silence. The man has been arrested several times but could not be held on any charge, and it is useless, if he were, to have him an expense on the city in the jail. Some one should complain of him before the proper county authorities and have the case investigated and the man sent to the Pueblo asylum, providing there was room. It is certainly not right to allow him to walk the streets, as at any time his insanity may take another turn. He is said to be unusually strong and on occasions of his arrest has caused officers considerable trouble. Thursday night he imagined some one was after him with a pistol, desiring to shoot him and walked the streets all night. It is said he will bite savagely when anyone attempts to arrest him and this, combined with his unusual strength, makes it very lively for anyone who is foolish enough to molest him. He lives on money given him by people around town, and one gentleman's charity in this case is to be most highly commended, for without it, the man would surely have come to some deplorable end long ago. It is strange the unfortunate man does not break down – his powers of endurance, however, seem exhaustless. His name is John Doyle. |
| Doyle, John | Carbonate Chronicle 1-21-1889 – The Doyle Case – John Doyle, concerning whom an article appeared in these columns on Saturday, was brought before Judge Phelps, in the county court, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to be tried for insanity. Doyle, when brought into court, sank into a chair directly in front of the bench and hung his head, nor did he look up during the whole progress of the trial. It is doubtful if he understood what was going on about him. The court room was well filled with spectators, and sympathy for the afflicted man was universal. A jury of six was empanelled in the case, Mr. H. V. A. Ferguson interrogating the witnesses. Joseph Gavin, William Newman, and others testified to the man's acting queerly. Theodore Schultz testified that the man had several times claimed that the buildings along the street were touching the sky, that the sun was larger than usual and set in the wrong place, etc. Marshal White and Officer Meany testified that Doyle was almost continually walking the streets and that he had resisted arrest fiercely on one or two occasions. On Saturday night he had gone into a saloon and kicked an inoffensive man very severely without the slightest provocation. Several witnesses testified that the man was subject to fits, all believed him insane, and thought his presence in the streets a danger to the community. The jury found the man insane and recommended his incarceration in the insane asylum. It is the same old story at the asylum, “no room,” and Doyle will very likely be obliged to remain in the county jail for some time. |
| Doyle, John | Carbonate Chronicle 1-21-1889 – Under-sheriff Loomis will take John Doyle to Pueblo Friday morning. Doyle is the man, it will be remembered, is the man who thinks the sun is out of joint and sets in the wrong place. He was adjudged insane last Monday. |
| Dozet, Spiro | Durango Democrat 2-26-1909 – Chairman Sconton received a letter from Mr. Mansfield, acting inspector of Department of Commerce and Labor, in Denver, in response to the chairman's letter of inquiry to the Department in relation to the case of one Peter or Spiro. Dozet, who was sent to the asylum of Dr. Works in Pueblo from this county for insanity last January. In it the inspector says that if Dozet has not been in the U. S. for over three years the department may send (Dozet) to the city at which he entered U. S. and make the steamship company that brought him to this country take him back to his home. The department has no funds to reimburse the county for its outlay in connection with having Dozet pronounced insane and sending him to the asylum. Unless Dozet's relatives make good the county has got to stand the expense. The inspector also enclosed a medical blank containing a number of technical questions to be answered and the chairman has transmitted this blank to Dr. Work to be filled out as the facts can only be ascertained, if at all, from Dozet, who is at present under the doctors supervision. |

| Drury, John Zekiel | Telluride Daily Journal 11-30-1899 – Dury Goes to the Asylum – The jury sitting in inquest in the county court, to determine the sanity of John Zekiel Dury, found him insane and Judge Wardlaw committed him to the insane hospital at Pueblo. Among those who know the man best there is no question as to his being insane, and his committal is regarded as a wise move as there is hope that with the treatment he will receive at Pueblo, he may be cured, whereas if permitted to run at large it would be only a matter of time until he would kill some one unless he was first killed, as his weakness runs to throwing guns down on people and shooting about promiscuously. [There are two more articles that refer to this man as John Zekiel Drury, as opposed to Dury. One article refers to him as Zekiel Drury.] |
| Drury, John Zekiel | Telluride Daily Journal 12-4-1899 – Jack Spellman, who was deputized to take John Zekiel Drury out to the Pueblo insane hospital, left Sunday morning with his charge for that place. Drury was adjudged insane in Judge Wardlaw's court last Thursday. |
| Drury, John Zekiel | Telluride Daily Journal 12-8-1899 – Deputy Jack Spellman returned home on last evening's train from Pueblo, where he went a few days ago for the purpose of placing Zekiel Drury in the insane hospital of that city. On his way home he spent a couple of days at Cripple Creek. |
| Drury, John Zekiel | Telluride Daily Journal 5-17-1901 – John Drury, who has lived in the vicinity of Saw Pit and Wilson mesa for some years, was yesterday given a hearing in the county court and pronounced insane. He will be taken to the asylum at Pueblo. |

He has been rooming at the Windsor hotel, and early last evening left his room, and going to the center of the street soon attracted a large crowd around him by striking a stage attitude and pointing the index finger of his right hand skyward. Friends soon came and took him in charge, and he will probably be turned over to the county officials until he is fully cured. He is not a drinking man and has many friends about the city. |

| Duggan, Jack | Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 9-22-1886 – Dementia Victims. Oakley, the unfortunate little hunch-back, whose reason was temporarily dethroned, and who, after being adjudged insane, was sent from this county to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo, has returned much improved, and is again visible about the resorts. It has always been maintained by his friends and intimate acquaintances that this was the result of a misfortune by which he was overtaken while in the employ of a railroad and occupying a responsible position in the bridge department several years ago. At that time he was on a falling building and crushed beneath its rafters, never recovered from the spinal injuries. He had accumulated considerable money which disappeared with his extravagance, and he was again thrown on his own resources. Of the asylum he speaks in high terms, saying that under the circumstances he could have demanded no better treatment. And he was among a large group sent from this city. There was Waite, the barber, who had in a fit of derangement and insane frenzy attempted to cut his throat. It was said of Waite that his lunacy had been the result of vaccination, the virus used by the physician having apparently set his body on fire. No sooner had the stuff been injected in his arm than he was prostrated, and the hot burning fever began to prey on him. The disease with which he had been unwittingly inoculated began to manifest itself in sickening eruptions on every portion of the body. He consulted the doctors and finally sought relief in the properties of the mountain springs. From these he derived no benefit however. His mind was racked, and returning to the city he grew desperate. One night in February last he seized a razor and drew it violently across his throat. He was then placed in the county jail and after an inquiry had been made in his case, he was sent to the insane asylum. Oakley says he is yet very violent, and his powerful physique is rapidly crumbling beneath the terrible disease. His days, he believes are numbered. At the time this unfortunate man was there, Jack Duggan was raving in one of the apartments, the warden expressing but little hope for his recovery from the first. The awful hallucinations beneath which he fell continued to grow worse from day to day and men shuddered as they heard him day and night in convulsions. His form is said to have wasted like the sensitive plant before the breath of the deadly sirocco, until he was placed as helpless as an invalid in the hospital department. Having exhausted his powers of resistance the warden for the first time expressed a hope of driving the grim demon from his mind, but death came to his relief and one morning he passed away into the silent realms of eternity. Peterson, the irresponsible slayer of one of the workmen on the Iron Silver mine several years ago is still in the asylum, having grown gradually worse until today little hope is entertained for him. He was never violent but moved about his cell in an aimless manner and talking incoherently on some topic the mortal had little to do with. It is thought his condition was vexed by the mock trial to which he was subjected on being placed in the jail, a jury of jailbirds having found him guilty of murder, and sentenced him to hang by the neck. In his delirium he believes himself convicted by a genuine authority, and demanded of the prisoners an execution at their hands. And he believes today that he is to be hung for the murder of his rival for the woman's affections, the difficulty having originated over the contest for a young woman's adulation. There are a number of others who were sent from Leadville who are still in the asylum, and who will probably end the terrible ordeal there in death. |

| Dury, Zekiel | Telluride Journal December 2, 1899 Zekiel Dury Sent to Pueblo - Sunday a fellow on horse back rode down Columbia avenue through the thickest part of the residence district promiscuously shooting a Winchester rifle among the residences. Near the town hall he throwed his gun down on a traveling man who took to his heels and ran for dear life. At the next corner he covered one of the JOURNAL force, not more than thirty feet distant, and gave every indication of being about ready to shoot; down by the school house he covered another man who jumped behind a tree, and he took a parting shot at the brewery as he passed it. Marshal March got a horse and started after the fellow, overtaking him down near the Weller ranch. He made a stubborn fight and the marshal had his hands full in controlling him. After March had gotten the rifle away from the man he tried to get hold of the marshal's six shooter and it required some pretty rough treatment before he was subdued and brought back to town where he was. The fellow gives his name as John Zekiel Dury. It is the fourth time he has made these breaks, and last winter when Marshal March was arresting him he made a vicious slash at the officer with a knife cutting a slit in his coat. The general opinion is that the fellow's mind is affected and that the Pueblo asylum is the place for him. He is regarded as irresponsible and dangerous at all times and especially when he drinks, as he was doing yesterday. It is said that he was injured in an Iowa cyclone and has been wrong in the head ever since placed in the county jail. The jury sitting in inquest in the county court, to determine the sanity of John Zekiel Dury, found him insane and Judge Wardlaw committed him to the insane hospital at Pueblo. Among those who know the man best there is no question as to his being insane, and his committal is regarded as a wise move as there is hope that with the treatment he will receive at Pueblo, he may by cured, whereas if permitted to run at large it would be only a matter of time until he would kill some one unless he was first killed, as his weakness runs to throwing guns down on people and shooting about promiscuously. |

Jeannotte, composing the lunacy commission of the county court, who recommended to County Judge O'Mahoney that she be cared for in the future at the state asylum at Pueblo. For several years Mrs. Dwyer has been considered “queer” by those who were acquainted with her, and before she was taken to the county hospital a few weeks ago for maintenance she was considered to be in a pitiable condition. She has lived by herself for years after separating a number of years ago from her husband. It is probable she will be taken to Pueblo by the sheriff today. M. J. Kilkenny was appointed as conservator of the woman's property, which consists of the Pilgrim and Little Alice mining claims, a house and lot at 408 East Fourteenth street and lots 10 and 11, block D. Stevens and Leiter addition. The property was appraised at $2,000 (?) in the court yesterday. Attorney H. R. Pendery appeared for the county and Attorney R. D. McLeod as guardian ad litem. Mrs. Dwyer has lived here for thirty-five years. |

A. La Moure, superintendent of the institution. The date of her death was not given, the message announcing only that she had died and inquiring if she leaves an estate. Mrs. Dwyer was adjudged insane by the lunacy commission of the county court, May 25, after mental derangement which had troubled her for several years became marked. Until then she had been cared for for several months at the county hospital. She leaves property here consisting of several mining claims, two Leadville lots and one dwelling. M. J. Kilkenny was appointed last month as guardian of the estate. |
| Dwyer, Johanna | Carbonate Chronicle 7-23-1917 – Johanna Dwyer's Will – The late Johanna Dwyer, long before she became demented it is believed, made out a will disposing of her property here, it developed yesterday when the document, which had been held for safe keeping by August Meister of St. Louis, a relative was received by County Judge O'Mahoney. Mrs. Dwyer who died June 12 last at Pueblo, made the will in May, 1913. Her estate consists of the Pilgrim mining claim and the Little Alice claim, both in Lake county, and lots 408, East Fourteenth street and improvements, lot 22 and south 4 feet of lot 22, block 4, St. Louis Smelting and Refining company's addition to Leadville. This property will be distributed among eight relatives, each being given an eighth interest. The relatives are Alice, Henry, Lulu and William Koechling, John, Eulia, George and August Meister. Henry Koechling of Jefferson county, Mo., was made executor of the will by the pioneer woman. In admitting the will for probate, Judge O'Mahoney appointed Attorney A. B. Crosswhite as attorney for the estate. Mrs. Dwyer was adjudged insane in the county court May 25 last. She died at the state asylum at Pueblo, June 12. According to the will which said she was 64 years old in 1913, she was 68 years old. |
