In addition he is survived by numerous nieces, nephews and many friends. Mr. Jachetta was a well-known livestock dealer, retiring in 1970 because of poor health. His love affair with horses began as a youth when he could be found talking with trainers and breeders as they spun tales about the latest big sale. Before he was big enough to saddle a horse, he was a familiar figure at the blacksmith shop and the public corrals. By the time he was a teen-ager, Mr. Jachetta already had bought and sold a number of horses. As a young man, he drove teams for Driscoll Construction Co. when they were building the city streets and state roads. He later drove their winning team in the Pulling Contest at the Colorado State Fair. He became a foreman for Driscoll in the early 1930s, building roads throughout the state but as horse-drawn teams gradually gave way to machines. Mr. Jachetta lost interest in the road construction business and purchased a livestock dealer's license and returned to the business of livestock purchasing, trading, and dealing. He built up a profitable business but always took time to help young people who showed an interest in horses. Several of his pupils are now successful at training, showing and selling horses. Joe was superintendent of stalls at the Colorado State Fairgrounds during the years Clyde P. Fugate was manager. He will be missed by many. Service, 1 p.m. Friday, George McCarthy Historic Chapel.

May 14, 1908 - Unprovoked Murder by a Pueblo Negro - Pueblo, Colo., May 14 - Without apparent cause, James Lynn, a negro, at midnight last night burst into the home of Mrs. Julia James, a white woman, and after beating her unmercifully, drove her and her daughter Sarah, aged sixteen, into the street where he shot and killed the girl and mortally wounded the mother. After the shooting Lynn escaped, going toward the river bottoms. A large number of officers are on his trail. Five other children of Mrs. James were in the house at the time of the assault and they say they do not know the cause of the trouble. Lynn's wife is also unable to account for the tragedy, though she says he has been talking of killing people for some time. Durango Wage Earner. May 21, 1908 - Pueblo, Colo., May 14 - James Lynn, colored, 42 years old, early this morning broke into the home of Mrs. Julia James, a respected white woman living at 422 River street, and after severely beating Mrs. James and her daughter, Sarah, aged 16, drove them into the street where he shot and killed the daughter, and mortally wounded the mother.

May 22, 1908 - Pueblo Mob Seeks Negro - Hundreds Gather at County Jail to Try to Lynch Murderer - Foiled by Absence - Only Desist After Committee Has Thoroughly Searched Building - Denver - A Pueblo dispatch Monday night says: Believing that Jim Lynn, the negro who last Thursday morning here at Pueblo murdered Sarah James, a sixteen-year-old white girl, after which he wounded her mother, is confined in the county jail here, a mob of 400 tonight visited the jail and demanded that Lynn be turned over to them. The mob, after beating down the outer doors, would not disperse until Sheriff McMillan had allowed two committees to search every nook and cranny of the building. The mob was thoroughly organized, and evidently desperately in earnest. Reports have been prevalent all through the evening that Lynn had been brought in to the city, and excitement was high. About 9 o'clock a man on horseback, with a rope trailing along the ground, rode through the streets, calling for men to accompany him to the jail. He was quickly accommodated, and within half an hour a mob surrounded the place, and was threatening to storm the building. Several heavy planks were secured and used as battering rams. The outer iron door was quickly broken and the officers, realizing that the door could not hold much longer, began to parley. The result of the conference was that a committee of five was appointed to search the jail. When it reported, the members of the mob refused to believe the report and began threatening to again storm the doors. Another conference was held and a committee of twelve was sent through the building. When it reported that the man was not there the mob dispersed. Lynn is now in Colorado Springs and will not be brought here until the excitement has quieted. Practically all of the county officers and the police were summoned to the jail tonight as a result of the mob's visit. Feeling here is against Lynn and although his trial has been arranged for June 9th, it is believed to be unsafe to bring him to Pueblo. The trial of Lynn, who was arrested at Limon Saturday night, will open here June 9th. Sarah James, who was killed by the Negro, was buried today, the funeral being largely attended. Julia James, her mother, is holding her own at the hospital and may recover. Aspen Democrat. May 23, 1908 - Bullet Found Near Skull of Mrs. James - Pueblo, May 22 - A bullet which had struck on the skull and glanced under the skin about two inches from the point of entrance was removed yesterday morning from the head of Mrs. Julia James by County Physician C. V. Marmaduke at St. Mary's hospital. Immediately following the shooting by Jim Lynn, Mrs. James was taken to the hospital and the swelling that resulted from the wound prevented the immediate location of the bullet. When the bandages were taken off yesterday afternoon the swelling had gone down and the position of the bullet was plain. It had struck the forehead on the right side and glanced beneath the skin, causing as far as the doctor could tell, no serious injury. The caliber was that (of) a 32 revolver - the same as the gun which Lynn is said to have twisted out of Mrs. James' hand after he forced his way into the room last Thursday morning. The bullet which caused the other wound, having pierced the right lung, Dr. Marmaduke says protrudes the skin at her back. He states that the bullet will not be removed for sometime yet as it would be merely furnishing another opening for infection and the bullet in its present position causes no harm. Mrs. James was yesterday informed that Lynn had been captured. "I am glad they've got the brute," was the reply. Indications at present are that Mrs. James will recover. Aspen Democrat. June 18, 1908 - Woman Shot by Lynn is Taken to Seattle - Pueblo, June 17 - Mrs. Julia James, shot by Jim Lynn, who at the same time killed Sarah James will leave for Seattle tomorrow with her five children.

Golden Colorado Transcript. June 25, 1908 - Mrs. Julia James, who was shot and seriously wounded by James Lynn, who at the same time killed her daughter Sarah, has left Pueblo with her five children for Seattle, Washington, to make their home with her sister. Mrs. James has practically recovered from the wounds Lynn inflicted. Lynn is under conviction for murder with the death penalty hanging over him. Aspen Democrat. October 9, 1908 - Negro Murderer to Pay Penalty - Canon City, Oct. 8 - Some time tonight between 8 and 9 o'clock unless Warden Cleghorn's present plans miscarry or are unexpectedly changed, James Lynn, colored, will be hung in the execution chamber of the state penitentiary for the murder of Sarah James, the 14-year-old white girl of Pueblo whose mother he shot and badly wounded at the same time. Lynn had been in the habit of calling at the James home to see the mother and when he found a white man there one night he was told his company was no _____ _______. He killed the girl and tried to murder her mother. Note: Copy quality was poor on this article. Note: Sarah James was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado. Wray Gazette - June 26, 1908 - Mrs. Julia James, who was shot, and seriously wounded by James Lynn, who at the same time killed her daughter Sara, has left Pueblo with her five children for Seattle, Washington, to make their home with her sister. Mrs. James has practically recovered from the wounds Lynn inflicted. Lynn is under conviction for murder with the death penalty hanging over him. Colorado Public Defender - October 8, 1908 - James Lynn, Pueblo. B-W. Hanging/Broken neck. On May 14, 1908, the front-page headline in the local newspaper shocked Pueblo residents: "Negro Drives Two White Women from Their Home and Shoots Them Down in the Street." The article identified a neighbor, James Lynn (a Pueblo resident for twenty-two years), as the shooter. Sarah James, sixteen, was dead, and her mother, Julia, was wounded and "expected to die at any moment." Julia, however, a widow with six children, later recovered. She and her daughter had fled their home when Lynn burst into it at one o'clock in the morning. The wages Sarah earned as a "servant" to a local physician supported the entire family of seven. Lynn, a day laborer, was infatuated with Sarah, and was jealous when another man, who left by the rear door as Lynn came through the front, was spending the night with her. Lynn had a prior arrest for assaulting a man with a poker. After his arrest, Lynn was kept in Colorado Springs to prevent a lynching. His trial occurred exactly one month after the murder, and Lynn maintained his innocence. The jury, however, returned a guilty verdict after only fifteen minutes of deliberation.

Jay, John W.
John W. Jay – Newspaper Unknown – January 1888 – The Sudden Death of a Prominent Official - His Term of Office and Lease of Life Expire Almost Instantaneously - A General Expression of Grief and Sympathy for the Bereaved Relatives - On Tuesday morning at about eleven o'clock all that was mortal of Hon. John W. Jay was laid to rest in the cemetery at this place.  His death was unexpected and cast a gloom of sadness over the entire county.  The immediate cause of Mr. Jay's death was inflammation of the bowels brought on, it is supposed by the late hours and exposure attendant upon the campaign of last fall, from the effects of which he never thoroughly recovered. His untimely death leaves a young and accomplished woman a widow, two bright and winsome boys orphans to battle with a merciless, cold and selfish world, an aged father and mother, and a host of true and loyal friends who will long mourn for and miss a companionship that even time cannot supplant.  He was a man beloved by all, from the highest to the lowest and his familiar figure and voice was known, not only in every town and hamlet in Bent County, but in nearly every section of Colorado. John W. Jay was the youngest son of ex-County Judge J. H. Jay and was born at Paola, Ogle County, Illinois on the 12th day of December, 1853, therefore being twenty-eight days over thirty-four years of age at the time of his death.  In 1857 his parents came to Colorado and located near Denver, where John received his first rudiments of education.  From here he was given a two years' course at Manhattan (Kan.) College.  From there he returned to Colorado and finished his college course at Golden.  In 1876 he began the study of law in the office of General Sam Brown in Denver, mastering that honorable profession in a very satisfactory way for one so young, being admitted to the bar in Pueblo County about six years ago.  During John W. Jay's life in Denver he was prominent in business and social circles and was at one time foreman of a volunteer fire company in that city.  Nine years ago, Mr. Jay came to Bent County, (his parents having preceded him several years) and located in this city.  On December 7, 1879, he was married to Ada M., eldest daughter of Hon. R. M. Moore.  Since locating here John has occupied a number of responsible and trustworthy positions, being the retiring County Clerk at the time of his death.  For six months during John B. Carter's term as clerk, Mr. Jay was his deputy.  After Mr. Carter's death, Mr. Jay conducted the office in the interest of the widow and family of John B. Carter, at the end of which time he was made County Clerk by appointment from the commissioners. The death was very sudden and therefore expected only by those at his bedside.  He was taken ill last Saturday and was forced to desist in his labors and go to his home.  Nothing serious was thought until Sunday forenoon when Dr. Dow was dispatched for.  Mr. Jay was taken slightly worse about 1 o'clock Monday morning.  A tonic was given him, but it was too late, as the grim destroyer--death--had claimed his own.  He died at 1:10. The funeral occurred at the M. E. Church and the beautiful service of the Episcopal Church was conducted by the Rev. Henry Forrester.  The remains were escorted from the residence to the church and from there to the cemetery by Uniform Rank, K. of P., Lodge No. 28, of La Junta, of which John was a prominent member, and under whose direction the last sad funeral rites were said and the body of John W. Jay lowered into the fathomless beyond.  Peace be to his ashes. Mrs. Jay, her two little fatherless boys and the rest of Mr. Jay's immediate relatives are recipients of many beautiful tributes of condolence and sympathy in their deep bereavement.  Below is a sample of the expressions of one of the numerous organizations to which he belonged: La Junta, Colo., Jan 9, 1888. Mrs. Jno. W. Jay, Las Animas, Colo. Dear Madam: In behalf of La Junta Lodge, No. 74, I. O. O. F., allow me to tender you and family our deepest sympathies in your very said bereavement.  May the sustaining power of the All Seeing Eye help you to bear you san affliction with Christian fortitude and hope. Fraternally Yours, Cyrus W. France

Pete served with the 29th Infantry Division, U.S. Army, during World War II, and experienced some of the most vicious combat in military history. He was invested as a knight, in the Order of the Legion of Honor, for "Extraordinary Heroism and Valor" in battle, by the French government, and was awarded the French Croix de Guerre (the French Medal of Honor), for "Heroism, Gallantry and Bravery," by French Gen. Charles de Gaulle (personally approved by General of the Army, Dwight D. Eisenhower), in January, 1945. Some French citizens have referred to Pete Jimenez, as "the Sgt. Alvin York, of World War II." Others simply have stated that Pete Jimenez "earned knighthood the old fashion way - on the battlefield." Pete also was awarded the Bronze Star, with "V" device, and one Oak Leaf Cluster (two awards) for "Valor and Heroism"; the Purple Heart, with four Oak Leaf Clusters (was wounded in battle on five separate occasions); the Good Conduct Medal; the European, African, Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, with one Bronze Arrowhead (for the amphibious assault on Omaha Beach, during the D-Day/Normandy Invasion); and four Bronze Campaign Stars for "combat in the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe (Germany) Campaigns; the WWII Victory Medal; the Combat Infantryman's Badge; the Expert Infantryman's Badge; the "Expert" M-1 Marksmanship Badge; the "Marksman," 1903 Rifle Badge; the "Marksman" M-1 Carbine Badge; and five Overseas/Combat hashmarks for his sleeve. Pete was honored, and was recommended for the U.S. Medal of Honor, by the Colorado House of Representatives on March 22, 2004. Additionally, a United States Air Force general, and several Denver area residents, are determined to see that Pete will receive his much deserved Medal of Honor. Pete also was honored by the Pueblo county commissioners, and by the Pueblo City Council in July, 2003, for his heroism and wartime accomplishments, and both he, and his wife, Carmen, were honored for their accomplishments as parental role models. After the war, Pete worked at the CF&I (Colorado Fuel and Iron) Corp. as a steel worker, and retired in 1980, after 33 years of service. He was a strong believer in the steel worker's union.

Job, Frank
Frank Job - Trinidad Advertiser - November 4, 1906 - Prominent Mine Boss Killed in Explosion - Frank Job, one of the best known mine bosses in the Southern tier of the state, was mangled and killed in a terrific explosion in the Victor Fuel Company's mine at Hastings late Friday night. In some way, the shot of dynamite that was exploded was heavier than usual. Before the blast was fired all the miners sought a place of safety. Job was fifty feet away -- a sufficiently safe distance to be out of the danger zone. When the dynamite exploded there was a loud detonation and chunks of coal were thrown in the air. Suddenly, from the powder point a huge block of coal was thrown straight at Job. Although nearly twenty yards away, so great was the force of the explosion that the rock was hurled against him with sufficient power to crush his ribs in and he fell dead in his tracks, crushed to pieces. The smoke and dust prevented the others from seeing what had happened. Job had fallen without a sound. As the air became clarified they were startled to see him lying prone on his back. A closer inspection showed that the rock had caved in his whole breast in the region of the heart, as though it had been but mere cardboard. Job is married and leaves two small children. He was 38 years of age and for many years ran a grocery store at Segundo. He was exceptionally well liked and his frightful death is deplored by the whole mining community. The Trinidad Furniture Company of this city was notified and sent their undertaker, George Haugen, to Hastings. The body was last night prepared for burial. The funeral cortege will leave Hastings for Trinidad at 9 o'clock this morning. Services will be held in this city at 2:30 o'clock today at the Catholic Church and internment will be in the cemetery. To show the great regard that Job was held in may be shown by the fact that every available carriage in the city has been engaged for the funeral. The funeral in length will be one of the largest held in this section in years. Yuma Pioneer - November 16, 1906 - Frank Job, night boss at the Hastings mine of the Victor Fuel Company near Trinidad, was killed on the 3d inst. by a lump of coal crushing his breast. He was standing fifty feet from the explosion of a shot, which has always been regarded a safe distance. He was thirty-eight years old and leaves a widow and two children.

The identification none of which are positive are: Alvin Johnson, a Swede, formerly employed on the Victor water works Charles Logan, at one time an employee on the Roosevelt drainage tunnel. John Tenbrick at one time employed on the El Paso mine. All the men named left the Cripple Creek district about a year ago. An inquest will be held tomorrow. Charles A. and Sterling Martin, two young boys were stealing a ride on the train are held in the county jail at Cripple Creek pending an investigation. Charles was slightly wounded in the neck by a shot fired by the Pullman porter on the train. They both deny any knowledge of the hold up. Four posses are out hunting for accomplices of the dead man. Account of the Incident: Leadville - Fireman Paul Bockman of the Colorado Midland train which was held up early this morning near Divide, tonight told the story of his experience. He said that while cleaning the fire, he turned around and was looking down the barrels of two big six shooters. The robber told the engineer and himself to climb down, after which he marched them to the express door and commanded Bockman to order the express messenger to open that door. As there was no reply, the robber shouted, "Open that door or I'll blow up your car". The crack of a rifle was the only response. Seeing that the bandits' attention was engaged, said Bockman, I ducked under the car and ran around to the rear. Just then I heard Stewart say "Get on and hold him, I'm shot," and I got on the prostrate bandit and waited for the other members of the crew to come up. Neither Bockman nor Steele the conductor heard any other bandits although the Pullman conductor said he heard someone shouting from the embankment, come on and get away from here.

Johnson, Charles Albert
Charles Albert Johnson - Walsenburg World-Independent - December 26, 1945 - Beloved School Man Dies Monday - C. A. Johnson, Longtime HCHS Superintendent, Dies - Charles Albert Johnson, for many years principal and superintendent of Huerfano county high school, and well-known and beloved throughout Walsenburg and Huerfano county, died at his home late Monday evening after a long illness. He was 70 years of age. "The Professor," as he was affectionally known to hundreds of local residents, had been bed-fast for several months, and had been failing health for a considerable time. Coming here in 1917, he served with distinction as head of the local high school and later as owner and manager of the Huerfano county Credit association. He was born October 27, 1875 at Sherman, N. Y., and spent his boyhood there and at Franklinville, N. Y. He was a graduate of Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., where he received a bachelor's degree and took graduate work at the University of Utah and the University of Wyoming. He held a master's degree from the University of Utah. He taught in various New York schools during the early years of his professional career, and in 1905, went to Lander, Wyo., where he was principal of the high school. In 1906, he moved to Moab, Utah, where he was principal and superintendent of the high school. In 1917, he came to Walsenburg as high school principal, taking over the school when it was held in the old Armory building on East Fourth Street. It was partly thru his untiring efforts in behalf of education for Huerfano County that the present high school building was erected and financed. It is recalled that one of his most effective arguments was a summary of the cost of crime in the city and county and his often-reiterated statement that if such money were used for educational purposes, the fine new building would be virtually underwritten. For nine years, until 1926, he headed the school as principal and superintendent, when he retired for reasons of ill health. In the same year he purchased the credit association which he operated until increasing ill health caused his complete retirement. At the time of his retirement, general regret was expressed throughout the community, with members of the high school student body being outspoken in their praise for his administration. In the issue of Friday, June 18, 1926, of the Walsenburg Independent, an editorial said, "One of the students, a graduate of 1926, said today that his implicit confidence in Professor Johnson, and the feeling that he could forgive or punish mistakes as easily as he could commend good work made the superintendent appear to the student body as a big human being to whom it could pledge itself with trust." Johnson was a lifelong devotee of the sport or baseball and during his administration coached a team that gained statewide recognition among high schools. He umpired many games between various camp teams of the era and followed national pennant races with keen interest. He was much in demand as a public speaker, and addressed many public gatherings, including commencements in nearby communities, and at patriotic and civic gatherings.

Johnson, Christina Ruth
Christina Ruth Johnson – Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – March 17, 1919 – Christina R. Johnson – Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock for the late Christina Ruth Johnson, one of the most popular musicians and lodge members in Leadville, who died Sunday morning at her home at 121 West Sixth street of a general physical breakdown which had made her a patient for a number of days. The services will be held at the First Presbyterian church. The casket will be taken there from the home at 1:30. Jake Johnson of Pueblo, brother of her father, Peter Z. Johnson, is expected to arrive here this morning to attend the funeral. Miss Johnson's death has caused grief in many homes in which her friendship was prized and in the ranks of the Leadville Musicians' Protective Association, A. F. of M., of which she was secretary, and the Woman's Relief Corps. In both of these two orders she had been a leader for a number of years, held in the highest of esteem and always counted upon as among their most faithful supporters. Miss Johnson was born in Pueblo on November 12, 1892, but Leadville had been her home virtually all her life, for her parents came here when she was one year old. While attending the local schools, she took up the study of music, becoming highly accomplished as a pianist. As a musician she was well known in the local churches and theaters where she had played and her services were always in great demand for funeral musical programs, home talent productions and programs. For several years she was the leader of the orchestra at the Elks' and Princess theaters. She was thus playing at the latter when stricken by her last sickness. In the Musicians' association she held prominent place, and during the last two years had been secretary of the local organization. Her membership in this organization covered a period of nine years. The requests for her playing on occasions where no financial remuneration was given were frequent, she always gladly granted them, winning many new additions to her large circle of friends thereby. In the Woman's Relief Corps, she was prominent as captain of the corps drill team, which has been a top-notcher among the state organizations in recent years. Last year when Leadville was giving farewell parades to departing army recruits, she never failed to call out the drill team to take part in the demonstrations and to support the general public effort. She held other offices in this order also, and for the last two years had been a department officer. During the last year, Miss Johnson was the director of the choir at St. George's Episcopal church and the organist there. In addition to her theater work, Miss Johnson gave piano lessons. Many a youthful musician in Leadville has received the first years' instruction in his musical accomplishment under her tutelage. On several occasions her pupils gave public recitals. Miss Johnson is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Z. Johnson, the former of whom is a well known employe of the Hart-Zaltz Mercantile company, and one sister Miss Elsie Johnson.

Johnson, Joseph
Joseph "Joe" Johnson - Durango Democrat. April 9, 1905 - Cowardly Murder - John H. Fox Shot in the Back by Joseph Johnson, in Trinidad Post office - Lynching Narrowly Averted - Trinidad, Colo., April 8 - John H. Fox, formerly county treasurer, was killed in the post office here at 1 p.m. today by Joseph Johnson, a local politician. Johnson shot Fox in the back of the head while the latter was reading a letter. Joseph Johnson was a deputy sheriff and it had been proposed to send him to California with a requisition for Vida L. Shoblo, who had been arrested there on a charge of having embezzled $1,000 of the county's funds when a clerk in the treasurer's office. Fox had made objections to sending Johnson on this errand on the ground that he was an intimate friend of Shoblo's, and owing to the fact that both were Mexicans the deputy might be influenced to allow the alleged defaulter to escape. This opposition on the part of Fox had the effect of canceling the appointment by the county commissioners and another man was sent in place of Johnson. Johnson resented this action and this is supposed to have been his motivator killing Fox. Johnson placed his revolver to Fox's ear and fired, the bullet passing clear through the latter's head, passing through a glass door and grazing the head of a man riding in an elevator in the further part of the building. A young woman and a little girl were the only witnesses to the tragedy. Johnson immediately after the shooting of Fox surrendered to Sheriff Davis and was placed in jail under a strong guard, as a mob of 1,000 persons quickly formed with the avowed intention of lynching the murderer. The frenzied men were met by Sheriff Davis and a guard of deputies armed with rifles and revolvers, at the court house, who ordered the crowd to disperse, but they stubbornly held their ground. In the meantime Sheriff Davis engaged a special train for Pueblo and ordered his chief deputy to swear in 50 additional men to assist in removing Johnson from the jail to the depot. With a cordon of deputies thrown around the prisoner, forming a complete protection for him, a rush was made for the train before the mob at the end of the building had been made aware of the plans of Sheriff Davis. When the flight of the prisoner and deputies was observed, the angered men made a dash and were hot on heels of the officers before half the distance to the train had been covered. Johnson was rushed on board the train and the signal given to start, when the mob was scarcely twenty yards away. After the train had gone about 200 yards a coupling broke and the men who had been left behind, observed that the engine had become detached from the caboose, made a mad dash ahead, but for the second time were foiled. The train this time proceeded without mishap, and the mob reluctantly dispersed. Johnson will be lodged in the county jail at Pueblo for safe keeping. John H. Fox served three terms as county treasurer of Las Animas County and was a candidate before the last Democratic convention for state treasurer, and was a prominent Democrat in the county. Johnson acted as body guard for Senator Casimero Barela during the campaign last fall and while the legislature was in session in Denver. When on the train Johnson said: "I killed Fox because I was mad. He prevented me from going after Shoblo, and said I would aid him to escape. We had some words this morning, but I will not tell anything else at this time." Golden Colorado Transcript. April 13, 1905 - Murder at Trinidad - J. H. Fox Shot by Jos. Johnson - Victim Was Former County Treasurer - Murderer is Deputy Sheriff - Cause Professional Jealousy - Denver, March 9 - A News special from Trinidad, Colorado, last night says: John H. Fox, former county treasurer and prominent Democratic politician, was killed by Deputy Sheriff Joe Johnson at 1:45 o'clock this afternoon. The murder was committed in the post office. Fox stood reading a paper and Johnson stepped up behind him, stuck the muzzle of the forty-five caliber revolver against his head and pulled the trigger. Fox dropped dead in his tracks. The motive for the crime was Johnson's belief that Fox had induced the county commissioners to send another deputy to California after Vidal Shoblo, alleged defaulting county treasurer of Las Animas County. Johnson also said that Fox had "joshed" him about the probability of Johnson letting Vidal escape on the way back here. Yuma Pioneer. April 14, 1905 - Fox Inquest - Trinidad Jury Fastens Crime of Murder on Johnson - Denver, April 11 - A Trinidad dispatch last night says: The coroner's inquiry into the death of John H. Fox Saturday afternoon was held this morning. All witnesses who knew anything about the events leading up to and connected with the tragedy testified and the jury promptly returned a verdict charging Joe Johnson with the crime and finding that the fatal shot was fired with felonious intent. Sheriff Davis issued a statement last evening to the effect that Johnson did not hold a deputy sheriff's commission. Sheriff Davis said: "I want to correct two false reports which, I understand, have been generally circulated. One is that Johnson had a gun given to him before we started to the train. That is utterly false and I want to say right here that he would have been handcuffed then if he had been able to make decent time running that way. We put irons on him as soon as we reached the car and they didn't come off. The other false report is that Johnson was a deputy of mine. He has never held a commission from me since I have been in office. I did think of sending him after Shoblo, but had I done so I would have given him his commission the night before he left. He would have had to surrender it at once on his return, as he is not a man I care to have among my deputies. The records of this office will show that he never was deputized since I have been in office. What feelings the people have toward me, I do not know. I had only one thing to do and that was my duty. I would have done it at all costs, whether we had been successful in getting Johnson away or not. I cherish no ill-feeling toward any one. The provocation the people of this city had was great. I had no business to think or to feel, only my duty to do, and what that was to bring me I did not know. I thank God we got Johnson away." Joe Johnson has a wife and four little children, the oldest a girl of eight years. They live in a pretty, little house on Vine Street. Yesterday morning Mrs. Johnson took her children and went to the ranch below the city, being unable to endure the curious stares of neighbors and citizens, to whom they had become objects of curiosity and pity. Eagle County Blade. June 1, 1905 - Doomed to Scaffold - End of Trinidad Murder Case - Verdict of Murder in the First Degree Against Joe Johnson, Slayer of John Fox - Denver, May 26 - A Trinidad dispatch last night says: Joe Johnson, the murderer of John Fox, is guilty of murder in the first degree and will pay the penalty on the scaffold. It took the jury in his case but thirty-eight minutes to agree upon a verdict. The trial will go down in the legal history of Colorado as the shortest on record, considering the number of witnesses examined, nearly forty. The trial began Tuesday, the jury being selected that day. Yesterday and to-day were devoted to the examination of witnesses, the arguments of attorneys and the rendering of the verdict. Johnson heard the reading of his death warrant stoically and the only comment he made was to Sheriff Davis, as he was being taken to jail. He said: "It's pretty hard." His wife, who fainted in the courtroom yesterday, completely collapsed when she heard the verdict. The courtroom was jammed when the jury returned its decision. Judge Northcutt at once adjourned court, after discharging the jury until Monday morning, at which time Johnson will be formally sentenced to death, the penalty fixed by law for murder in the first degree. Attorney Earl Cooley, representing Johnson, gave the customary notice of a motion for a new trial. District Attorney Watt McHendrie (?) made the opening statement for the prosecution. He was brief but eloquent. Mr. Cooley, in his argument, dwelt principally upon the hypothesis that he has advanced of Johnson's insanity. At 5:30 the jury left the room and thirty-eight minutes later returned with the verdict. It is stated that only one ballot was taken. Johnson, on April 8th, in the lobby of the post office of Trinidad, walked up behind John Fox, placed a six-shooter behind Fox's left ear, and sent a bullet through the victim's brain. Fox was one of the most prominent citizens in southern Colorado. His assassination in the post office created a big sensation and a lynching was avoided only by the cool-headed people of the community and the vigilance of the sheriff, who took Johnson to Pueblo. Fox was a prominent Mason, Elk and Woodman. He was postmaster under Cleveland in 1884; city treasurer; three times county treasurer of Las Animas county, and twice candidate for the nomination of state treasurer on the Democratic ticket. At the funeral of Mr. Fox, ex-Governor Adams of Pueblo delivered a eulogy at the grave. Breckenridge Bulletin. September 16, 1905 - Hanged in Penitentiary - Denver, Colo., Sept. 14 - For the cowardly murder of his benefactor, John H. Fox, at Trinidad, May 8th, Joseph Johnson was hanged in the penitentiary at Canon City yesterday. Fox, who was former county treasurer and a leading politician of Las Animas County, was reading a letter when Johnson crept behind him and blew out his brains. A desperate attempt was made to lynch Johnson and a repetition at the trial was averted by the sheriff's guarantee that the murderer would be legally hanged. Johnson was about fifty-eight years of age and had lived in Trinidad all of his life. He killed a man several years ago, but as there were some extenuating circumstances he escaped punishment, largely through the efforts of John H. Fox, whom he subsequently murdered without cause.Colorado Public Defender - September 13, 1905 - Joseph Johnson, Trinidad (Las Animas County). W-W. Hanging/Broken neck. Johnson was convicted of killing John H. Fox, "ex-county treasurer, and one of the most prominent Democratic politicians of the county and state." Johnson was a deputy sheriff and worked as a bodyguard for a state senator. When Fox's former clerk was arrested in California for misappropriating Las Animas county funds, Johnson wanted the job of going to California to retrieve the prisoner. Fox refused to grant Johnson the appointment, a quarrel ensued, and Johnson shot Fox with a revolver. Johnson was immediately apprehended and admitted his guilt.

Alvin Johnson - Albuquerque Morning Journal - September 3, 1910 - Dead Robber Is Identified Thrice - Colorado Springs - The body of the bandit killed near Florissant early this morning while attempting to hold up a Colorado Midland train was taken to Cripple Creek this afternoon, where it has been identified as three separate persons. The identification none of which are positive are: Alvin Johnson, a Swede, formerly employed on the Victor water works Charles Logan, at one time an employee on the Roosevelt drainage tunnel. John Tenbrick at one time employed on the El Paso mine. All the men named left the Cripple Creek district about a year ago. An inquest will be held tomorrow. Charles A. and Sterling Martin, two young boys were stealing a ride on the train are held in the county jail at Cripple Creek pending an investigation. Charles was slightly wounded in the neck by a shot fired by the Pullman porter on the train. They both deny any knowledge of the hold up. Four posses are out hunting for accomplices of the dead man. Account of the Incident: Leadville - Fireman Paul Bockman of the Colorado Midland train which was held up early this morning near Divide, tonight told the story of his experience. He said that while cleaning the fire, he turned around and was looking down the barrels of two big six shooters. The robber told the engineer and himself to climb down, after which he marched them to the express door and commanded Bockman to order the express messenger to open that door. As there was no reply, the robber shouted, "Open that door or I'll blow up your car". The crack of a rifle was the only response. Seeing that the bandits' attention was engaged, said Bockman, I ducked under the car and ran around to the rear. Just then I heard Stewart say "Get on and hold him, I'm shot," and I got on the prostrate bandit and waited for the other members of the crew to come up. Neither Bockman nor Steele the conductor heard any other bandits although the Pullman conductor said he heard someone shouting from the embankment, come on and get away from here.

Johnson, Charles Albert
Charles Albert Johnson - Walsenburg World-Independent - December 26, 1945 - Beloved School Man Dies Monday - C. A. Johnson, Longtime HCHS Superintendent, Dies - Charles Albert Johnson, for many years principal and superintendent of Huerfano county high school, and well-known and beloved throughout Walsenburg and Huerfano county, died at his home late Monday evening after a long illness. He was 70 years of age. "The Professor," as he was affectionally known to hundreds of local residents, had been bed-fast for several months, and had been failing health for a considerable time. Coming here in 1917, he served with distinction as head of the local high school and later as owner and manager of the Huerfano county Credit association. He was born October 27, 1875 at Sherman, N. Y., and spent his boyhood there and at Franklinville, N. Y. He was a graduate of Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., where he received a bachelor's degree and took graduate work at the University of Utah and the University of Wyoming. He held a master's degree from the University of Utah. He taught in various New York schools during the early years of his professional career, and in 1905, went to Lander, Wyo., where he was principal of the high school. In 1906, he moved to Moab, Utah, where he was principal and superintendent of the high school. In 1917, he came to Walsenburg as high school principal, taking over the school when it was held in the old Armory building on East Fourth Street. It was partly thru his untiring efforts in behalf of education for Huerfano County that the present high school building was erected and financed. It is recalled that one of his most effective arguments was a summary of the cost of crime in the city and county and his often-reiterated statement that if such money were used for educational purposes, the fine new building would be virtually underwritten. For nine years, until 1926, he headed the school as principal and superintendent, when he retired for reasons of ill health. In the same year he purchased the credit association which he operated until increasing ill health caused his complete retirement. At the time of his retirement, general regret was expressed throughout the community, with members of the high school student body being outspoken in their praise for his administration. In the issue of Friday, June 18, 1926, of the Walsenburg Independent, an editorial said, "One of the students, a graduate of 1926, said today that his implicit confidence in Professor Johnson, and the feeling that he could forgive or punish mistakes as easily as he could commend good work made the superintendent appear to the student body as a big human being to whom it could pledge itself with trust." Johnson was a lifelong devotee of the sport or baseball and during his administration coached a team that gained statewide recognition among high schools. He umpired many games between various camp teams of the era and followed national pennant races with keen interest. He was much in demand as a public speaker, and addressed many public gatherings, including commencements in nearby communities, and at patriotic and civic gatherings. He was a member of the local Elks lodge No. 1086, and of the Woodmen of the World. He was a member of the Franklinville lodge of the A. F. & A. M., and attended lodge sessions here. Survivors include his widow, three sons, Clinton A. Johnson of Los Angeles; Bill of the U. S. Marine corps, now en route home from Japan; and Cpl. Jack of the U. S. Army Transport Command, stationed at Dallas, Tex., and by one daughter, Mrs. John Green of Colorado Springs. Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at the Walsenburg Community church, with the Rev. C. H. Hatfield of La Veta officiating. Members of the Huerfano lodge No. 27, AF & AM will attend the services in a body. Interment will be in the Masonic cemetery, although time of burial has not been set, pending the arrival of Bill from the West Coast. The Unfug-Peet mortuary is in charge of arrangements. Honorary pallbearers will be G. C. Finlay, R. M. Baker, R. E. Foote, James E. Tressler, Leo Stacy, M. E. Cowing, Ernest Krier and A. L. Levy Active Pallbearers will be John Kirkpatrick, Howard Kountz, James B. Dick Jr., S. M. Andrews, C. M. Johnson and Harry J. Capps.

Johnson, Christina Ruth
Christina Ruth Johnson - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - March 17, 1919 - Christina R. Johnson - Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock for the late Christina Ruth Johnson, one of the most popular musicians and lodge members in Leadville, who died Sunday morning at her home at 121 West Sixth street of a general physical breakdown which had made her a patient for a number of days. The services will be held at the First Presbyterian church. The casket will be taken there from the home at 1:30. Jake Johnson of Pueblo, brother of her father, Peter Z. Johnson, is expected to arrive here this morning to attend the funeral. Miss Johnson's death has caused grief in many homes in which her friendship was prized and in the ranks of the Leadville Musicians' Protective Association, A. F. of M., of which she was secretary, and the Woman's Relief Corps. In both of these two orders she had been a leader for a number of years, held in the highest of esteem and always counted upon as among their most faithful supporters. Miss Johnson was born in Pueblo on November 12, 1892, but Leadville had been her home virtually all her life, for her parents came here when she was one year old. While attending the local schools, she took up the study of music, becoming highly accomplished as a pianist. As a musician she was well known in the local churches and theaters where she had played and her services were always in great demand for funeral musical programs, home talent productions and programs. For several years she was the leader of the orchestra at the Elks' and Princess theaters. She was thus playing at the latter when stricken by her last sickness. In the Musicians' association she held prominent place, and during the last two years had been secretary of the local organization. Her membership in this organization covered a period of nine years. The requests for her playing on occasions where no financial remuneration was given were frequent, she always gladly granted them, winning many new additions to her large circle of friends thereby. In the Woman's Relief Corps, she was prominent as captain of the corps drill team, which has been a top-notcher among the state organizations in recent years. Last year when Leadville was giving farewell parades to departing army recruits, she never failed to call out the drill team to take part in the demonstrations and to support the general public effort. She held other offices in this order also, and for the last two years had been a department officer. During the last year, Miss Johnson was the director of the choir at St. George's Episcopal church and the organist there. In addition to her theater work, Miss Johnson gave piano lessons. Many a youthful musician in Leadville has received the first years' instruction in his musical accomplishment under her tutelage. On several occasions her pupils gave public recitals. Miss Johnson is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Z. Johnson, the former of whom is a well known employe of the Hart-Zaltz Mercantile company, and one sister Miss Elsie Johnson.

Johnson, Joseph
Joseph "Joe" Johnson - Durango Democrat. April 9, 1905 - Cowardly Murder - John H. Fox Shot in the Back by Joseph Johnson, in Trinidad Post office - Lynching Narrowly Averted - Trinidad, Colo., April 8 - John H. Fox, formerly county treasurer, was killed in the post office here at 1 p.m. today by Joseph Johnson, a local politician. Johnson shot Fox in the back of the head while the latter was reading a letter. Joseph Johnson was a deputy sheriff and it had been proposed to send him to California with a requisition for Vida L. Shoblo, who had been arrested there on a charge of having embezzled $1,000 of the county's funds when a clerk in the treasurer's office. Fox had made objections to sending Johnson on this errand on the ground that he was an intimate friend of Shoblo's, and owing to the fact that both were Mexicans the deputy might be influenced to allow the alleged defaulter to escape. This opposition on the part of Fox had the effect of canceling the appointment by the county commissioners and another man was sent in place of Johnson. Johnson resented this action and this is supposed to have been his motivator killing Fox. Johnson placed his revolver to Fox's ear and fired, the bullet passing clear through the latter's head, passing through a glass door and grazing the head of a man riding in an elevator in the further part of the building. A young woman and a little girl were the only witnesses to the tragedy. Johnson immediately after the shooting of Fox surrendered to Sheriff Davis and was placed in jail under a strong guard, as a mob of 1,000 persons quickly formed with the avowed intention of lynching the murderer. The frenzied men were met by Sheriff Davis and a guard of deputies armed with rifles and revolvers, at the court house, who ordered the crowd to disperse, but they stubbornly held their ground. In the meantime Sheriff Davis engaged a special train for Pueblo and ordered his chief deputy to swear in 50 additional men to assist in removing Johnson from the jail to the depot. With a cordon of deputies thrown around the prisoner, forming a complete protection for him, a rush was made for the train before the mob at the end of the building had been made aware of the plans of Sheriff Davis. When the flight of the prisoner and deputies was observed, the angered men made a dash and were hot on heels of the officers before half the distance to the train had been covered. Johnson was rushed on board the train and the signal given to start, when the mob was scarcely twenty yards away. After the train had gone about 200 yards a coupling broke and the men who had been left behind, observed that the engine had become detached from the caboose, made a mad dash ahead, but for the second time were foiled. The train this time proceeded without mishap, and the mob reluctantly dispersed. Johnson will be lodged in the county jail at Pueblo for safe keeping. John H. Fox served three terms as county treasurer of Las Animas County and was a candidate before the last Democratic convention for state treasurer, and was a prominent Democrat in the county. Johnson acted as body guard for Senator Casimero Barela during the campaign last fall and while the legislature was in session in Denver. When on the train Johnson said: "I killed Fox because I was mad. He prevented me from going after Shoblo, and said I would aid him to escape. We had some words this morning, but I will not tell anything else at this time." Golden Colorado Transcript. April 13, 1905 - Murder at Trinidad - J. H. Fox Shot by Jos. Johnson - Victim Was Former County Treasurer - Murderer is Deputy Sheriff - Cause Professional Jealousy - Denver, March 9 - A News special from Trinidad, Colorado, last night says: John H. Fox, former county treasurer and prominent Democratic politician, was killed by Deputy Sheriff Joe Johnson at 1:45 o'clock this afternoon. The murder was committed in the post office. Fox stood reading a paper and Johnson stepped up behind him, stuck the muzzle of the forty-five caliber revolver against his head and pulled the trigger. Fox dropped dead in his tracks. The motive for the crime was Johnson's belief that Fox had induced the county commissioners to send another deputy to California after Vidal Shoblo, alleged defaulting county treasurer of Las Animas County. Johnson also said that Fox had "joshed" him about the probability of Johnson letting Vidal escape on the way back here. Yuma Pioneer. April 14, 1905 - Fox Inquest - Trinidad Jury Fastens Crime of Murder on Johnson - Denver, April 11 - A Trinidad dispatch last night says: The coroner's inquiry into the death of John H. Fox Saturday afternoon was held this morning. All witnesses who knew anything about the events leading up to and connected with the tragedy testified and the jury promptly returned a verdict charging Joe Johnson with the crime and finding that the fatal shot was fired with felonious intent. Sheriff Davis issued a statement last evening to the effect that Johnson did not hold a deputy sheriff's commission. Sheriff Davis said: "I want to correct two false reports which, I understand, have been generally circulated. One is that Johnson had a gun given to him before we started to the train. That is utterly false and I want to say right here that he would have been handcuffed then if he had been able to make decent time running that way. We put irons on him as soon as we reached the car and they didn't come off. The other false report is that Johnson was a deputy of mine. He has never held a commission from me since I have been in office. I did think of sending him after Shoblo, but had I done so I would have given him his commission the night before he left. He would have had to surrender it at once on his return, as he is not a man I care to have among my deputies. The records of this office will show that he never was deputized since I have been in office. What feelings the people have toward me, I do not know. I had only one thing to do and that was my duty. I would have done it at all costs, whether we had been successful in getting Johnson away or not. I cherish no ill-feeling toward any one. The provocation the people of this city had was great. I had no business to think or to feel, only my duty to do, and what that was to bring me I did not know. I thank God we got Johnson away." Joe Johnson has a wife and four little children, the oldest a girl of eight years. They live in a pretty, little house on Vine Street. Yesterday morning Mrs. Johnson took her children and went to the ranch below the city, being unable to endure the curious stares of neighbors and citizens, to whom they had become objects of curiosity and pity. Eagle County Blade. June 1, 1905 - Doomed to Scaffold - End of Trinidad Murder Case - Verdict of Murder in the First Degree Against Joe Johnson, Slayer of John Fox - Denver, May 26 - A Trinidad dispatch last night says: Joe Johnson, the murderer of John Fox, is guilty of murder in the first degree and will pay the penalty on the scaffold. It took the jury in his case but thirty-eight minutes to agree upon a verdict. The trial will go down in the legal history of Colorado as the shortest on record, considering the number of witnesses examined, nearly forty. The trial began Tuesday, the jury being selected that day. Yesterday and to-day were devoted to the examination of witnesses, the arguments of attorneys and the rendering of the verdict. Johnson heard the reading of his death warrant stoically and the only comment he made was to Sheriff Davis, as he was being taken to jail. He said: "It's pretty hard." His wife, who fainted in the courtroom yesterday, completely collapsed when she heard the verdict. The courtroom was jammed when the jury returned its decision. Judge Northcutt at once adjourned court, after discharging the jury until Monday morning, at which time Johnson will be formally sentenced to death, the penalty fixed by law for murder in the first degree. Attorney Earl Cooley, representing Johnson, gave the customary notice of a motion for a new trial. District Attorney Watt McHendrie (?) made the opening statement for the prosecution. He was brief but eloquent. Mr. Cooley, in his argument, dwelt principally upon the hypothesis that he has advanced of Johnson's insanity. At 5:30 the jury left the room and thirty-eight minutes later returned with the verdict. It is stated that only one ballot was taken. Johnson, on April 8th, in the lobby of the post office of Trinidad, walked up behind John Fox, placed a six-shooter behind Fox's left ear, and sent a bullet through the victim's brain. Fox was one of the most prominent citizens in southern Colorado. His assassination in the post office created a big sensation and a lynching was avoided only by the cool-headed people of the community and the vigilance of the sheriff, who took Johnson to Pueblo. Fox was a prominent Mason, Elk and Woodman. He was postmaster under Cleveland in 1884; city treasurer; three times county treasurer of Las Animas county, and twice candidate for the nomination of state treasurer on the Democratic ticket. At the funeral of Mr. Fox, ex-Governor Adams of Pueblo delivered a eulogy at the grave. Breckenridge Bulletin. September 16, 1905 - Hanged in Penitentiary - Denver, Colo., Sept. 14 - For the cowardly murder of his benefactor, John H. Fox, at Trinidad, May 8th, Joseph Johnson was hanged in the penitentiary at Canon City yesterday. Fox, who was former county treasurer and a leading politician of Las Animas County, was reading a letter when Johnson crept behind him and blew out his brains. A desperate attempt was made to lynch Johnson and a repetition at the trial was averted by the sheriff's guarantee that the murderer would be legally hanged. Johnson was about fifty-eight years of age and had lived in Trinidad all of his life. He killed a man several years ago, but as there were some extenuating circumstances he escaped punishment, largely through the efforts of John H. Fox, whom he subsequently murdered without cause.Colorado Public Defender - September 13, 1905 - Joseph Johnson, Trinidad (Las Animas County). W-W. Hanging/Broken neck. Johnson was convicted of killing John H. Fox, "ex-county treasurer, and one of the most prominent Democratic politicians of the county and state." Johnson was a deputy sheriff and worked as a bodyguard for a state senator. When Fox's former clerk was arrested in California for misappropriating Las Animas county funds, Johnson wanted the job of going to California to retrieve the prisoner. Fox refused to grant Johnson the appointment, a quarrel ensued, and Johnson shot Fox with a revolver. Johnson was immediately apprehended and admitted his guilt.

Rose Johnson – Pueblo Indicator – December 19, 1914 – Woman Kills Neighbor – Mrs. Rose Johnson Shot by Mrs. Susie Pearcy – Kiowa Women's Husbands Ride Home Together After Tragedy Over Kitchen Stove in Adjoining Homes – Pueblo, Colo. – Side by side on the Kiowa county prairies near Towner, forty miles from Eads, the county seat, and close to the Kansas line, the husbands and families of Mrs. Susie Pearcy and Mrs. Rose Johnson settled on government tracts years ago. They built their houses on adjoining corners and their friendship grew in the loneliness of their surroundings. Recently the two women quarreled over a stove Mrs. Johnson had sold to Mrs. Pearcy and Mrs. Pearcy pulled a revolver from the folds of her dress and killed her neighbor. Mrs. Pearcy is in the Pueblo county jail, charged with murder. She was brought here by Sheriff J. W. Blair of Kiowa county and Deputy District Attorney Charles B. Hughes filed a first-degree murder information against her, Kiowa county being in this judicial district. The shooting was witnessed by Mrs. Johnson's father and four children. Word was got to Eads and a coroner's jury held Mrs. Pearcy for the slaying. Sheriff Blair reached the Pearcy home and arrested the woman. Mrs. Pearcy claims that she acted in self-defense. She says Mrs. Johnson attacked her with a knife before she pulled the pistol. The quarrel began when Mrs. Pearcy declared the stove Mrs. Johnson sold her was not up to standard. She threw the stove over into the Johnson yard. Mrs. Johnson threw it back. After it had passed between them several times the shooting occurred. The husbands of the two women, meanwhile, were working side by side in the same gang. They are employed as bridge carpenters on the Santa Fe. When word came of the shooting they drove to their homes in the same buggy.

Born May 7, 1919, in Ellis, Kan., he moved shortly thereafter to Arlington, Colo. Pueblo and Beulah resident since the mid-1930s, Buddy was involved in many occupations from owning a trucking company to insurance sales. He recently retired from 20 years with the City of Pueblo Traffic and Communications Department. But by far, Buddy is best remembered for his extensive involvement in television and radio from 1954 to 1962. For eight years, he hosted a daily children's afternoon and television show, "The Buddy Johnson Show — Adventure's Club," on which over 100,000 local children appeared. He had a weekly evening live country music studio program, "The Barndance, Colorado Hayride," both on Pueblo's KCSJ-TV, now KOAA-TV. Also on television he hosted movies for two years on the late night "Western Star Theater." During the same period on KCSJ radio, he had a daily noon country music program and a weekly evening music show. He was involved in the creation of many annual local events from the Kid's Day Parade (which he hosted for many years), the Beulah Yule Log and the State Fair Breakfast. Buddy hosted and interviewed the many Western TV and motion picture stars who came to Pueblo during these years. At the same time, he owned and operated Gayway Park in Beulah (which he rebuilt around 1960), where for five years he presented weekly Sunday afternoon music shows, "The Beulah Jamboree." This variety show featured an extensive array of major country stars and first presented numerous Western performers who have since achieved wide national fame, such as Jim Ed Brown. For more than 40 years his Western-swing band, "The Colorado Rangers," with whom countless musicians have performed, was an annual fixture at regional parades, rodeos, and events all over Colorado and northern New Mexico. Recently, Buddy was secretary-treasurer of Tamarack Productions of Pueblo and appeared in the production of "Damon Runyon's Pueblo" as the sheriff. In appreciation for all his work in the entertainment industry in Colorado over many decades, he was inducted into the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame, when he received the notable Pioneer's Award for his many contributions. He was a life member of Pueblo Elks Lodge No. 90. Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at George McCarthy Historic Chapel.

Johnston, Bob
Bob Johnston - Pueblo Chieftain - December 25, 2005 - Bob Johnston died Dec. 20, 2005, and was born at home on Hackberry Creek near Coppell, Texas, in Dallas County, April 1, 1919, and grew up on a ranch near San Angelo, Texas. He was the son of Bob and Katherine Duke Johnston. He attended San Angelo schools and graduated in 1941 from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, with a degree in business administration. After serving at Okinawa in the South Pacific during World War II, he arrived in Colorado when his father purchased the Red Top Ranch, 35 miles southeast of Pueblo in 1945. Bob moved to southern Colorado to become owner/operator, along with his two sisters, of the ranch. He married Doris Casstevens of Fort Worth, Texas, in 1947, and together they built the home that served as the headquarters of the Red Top Ranch for more than 34 years. Following in the family footsteps, Johnston was the third generation to be involved in cattle ranching. He expanded the Red Top Ranch to 110,000 acres and became personally involved in Colorado's cattle industry. In 1964, he testified at the export-import hearings in Washington, D.C., from the viewpoint of the family rancher. Johnston worked the Red Top Ranch actively himself during his ranching years, stringing fence, welding windmill towers and rounding up cattle. Johnston, along with his sisters, sold the Red Top Ranch in 1979. In 1970 he joined friends Jack Thatcher and Jerry Robbe in the operation of Chico Feedyard, a 10,000-head feed yard east of Pueblo. His dedication to Colorado's cattle industry had led him to be president of the Pueblo County Stockmen's Association, president of the Colorado Cattlemen's Association, Trustee Emeritus of the Colorado Cattlemen's Foundation and he served three terms on the American National Cattlemen's Association Executive Committee. During that time he was instrumental in helping the organization solidify its operating structure. In 1993, the Colorado Cattlemen's Association honored him with its "Honorary Lifetime Member" award. In addition to his ranching interests, Bob Johnston had served on Thatcher-controlled banks for 46 years in Pueblo. He served on the First National Bank board from 1955 to 1992, becoming chairman of the board in 1972. He was a founder of the Park National Bank in Belmont. And, after the sale of First National and Park National, he joined the Minnequa Bank board serving from 1992 to 2001 and most recently was a member of the Vectra Bank of Pueblo advisory board. Johnston has been president of the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, director of the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry, a member of the Colorado State Fair Commission and a member of the Governor's Sell Colorado Ambassadors. In 1995 he was named a "Visionary of the West" by the Colorado Business Hall of Fame. His interest in the community had seen him serve as a board member for the Pueblo Zoo and the El Pueblo Museum, and the Pueblo Rotary Club named him an "Honorary Rotarian." He had also served as an at-large member of the Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center and was a member of the Pueblo County Historical Society and the Fowler Historical Society. In 2000, he was honored by The Southern Colorado Press Club with the Mel Harmon Community Service award and in 2003 the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center named him an honorary trustee. Bob Johnston exemplified the ideal Coloradoan, an active custodian of the land and a leader in community activities. But he was also much more to the people who were fortunate to know him as a friend, husband, brother and uncle. He will be remembered as the most kind, most generous and most gentle man anyone of us has ever known. He is survived by his sister, Ruth Johnston Lott of Minneola, Texas; sister and brother-in-law, Marilyn Johnston Mertz and Joe Mertz of San Angelo, Texas; his nephew and family, David H. Lott, Lynn Lott, Trace Lott and Kathryn Lott, all of Dallas, Texas; niece, Katie Mertz Johnson and family, Gary Johnson, Joseph Johnson and Molly Johnson, all of San Angelo, Texas; niece, Margaret Mertz Buechler and children, Mary Margaret Buechler and Bryan Buechler of Dallas, Texas; and niece, Joan M.

Johnston, Raymond Everett Jr.
Raymond Everett Johnston Jr. – Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph – June 3, 1976 – Man Killed by Car on South 8th Street – A Pueblo man was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Francis Hospital early today after he was struck by a car in the 500 block of South 8th Street. Police identified the victim as Raymond Everett Johnston Jr., 34. He was hit by a car driven by Richard Langan, 24, of 4770 Rusina Road. Police accident investigator J. J. Ports said Johnston was apparently intoxicated and had been wandering up and down the street. Several witnesses told Ports they narrowly missed hitting Johnston prior to the fatal collision. Johnston's car was found in a nearby parking lot of a bar. Authorities found an open bottle of liquor in the vehicle. A blood alcohol test will be taken from the body to determine the extent of intoxication. A similar test was given Langan and the results of the two tests will determine if any charges will be filed against him. Johnston, who police was wearing dark clothing, was hit by the front of the car. He was thrown onto the vehicle's hood, smashing the windshield. He was carried about 125 feet by the car before it came to a stop. Johnston was pronounced dead at the hospital at 2:27 a.m. He died of massive head and other injuries. The fatality is the seventh traffic-related death in Colorado Springs this year, compared to six a year ago for the same period.

Jones, Mary
Mary Jones - Littleton Independent - May 1, 1908 - Insane Convict Runs Amuck.

There is said to be no hope for her recovery. McElfee was finally cornered against a house and Fire Chief McCartin called a chemical wagon. Two lines of hose were laid and the negro was knocked over by the force of a 2 ½ inch stream shot at him when he was overpowered and returned to the asylum. Longmont Ledger - July 3, 1908 – Mrs. Edward A. Jones, who was murderously assaulted by Edward McElfee, an insane negro who escaped from the state asylum April 27th last, died at the Pueblo hospital June 24th from her injuries.

Jones, wife of a Pueblo merchant, who was assaulted with a hatchet by Edward Mackelfee, an insane negro who escaped from the state asylum here on April 27, died during the night at the Pueblo hospital the result of her injuries.  Her death was unexpected.  Two days ago she sat out in the open air, and her husband had planned to take her to Puget Sound in a few days to recuperate.  At her bedside were her husband, E. A. Jones, and her two children, Archibald, aged 11, and Elizabeth, aged 9.  Mrs. Jones was on her way down town when Mackelfee ran up behind her and sank a hatchet in her skull in three places.  Two of the cuts penetrated the skull and two pieces of bones each as large as a silver dollar was taken out by the surgeons.

Jordan, Julia L.
Julia L. Jordan – Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – August 6, 1873 – Died on the 2d of August, 1873, at the Schuyler House, in South Pueblo, of consumption, Mrs. Julia L. Jordan, wife of Paul Jordan, of Atchison, Kansas, aged 29 years. Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – August 6, 1873 – Sad Affliction. – On the 25th ult., Mrs. Julia L. Jordan, an estimable lady arrived on the train direct from Atchison, Kansas, having left her loving friends with the hope of relief, if not permanent cure of that dread destroyer, consumption, by coming to the health giving climate of Southern Colorado. But as it has sadly proved, the journey was too long delayed, and on Saturday night, she breathed her last, at the Schuyler House, in South Pueblo, a stranger in a strange land, and wholly without the last kind offices of loving personal friends. Her husband, Mr. Paul Jordan, having received the sad news by a telegram, arrived yesterday, and will have the remains taken to her former home.

Jordan, Ken
Ken Jordan - Pueblo Chieftain - December 6, 2006 - No cop exempt, says Pueblo police chief - Sadness rocked the Pueblo law enforcement community at news of a shooting late Monday that killed a Colorado Springs police officer. Officer Ken Jordan, 32, was pronounced dead soon after midnight. He was shot during a traffic stop. The suspected shooter, identified by relatives as Marco Lee, 25, was shot by police. He remained hospitalized on Tuesday. Jordan was the second Colorado Springs police officer killed in the line of duty this year. "Every officer on the street is talking about it and we'll be on a higher state of alert," Pueblo County Sheriff Dan Corsentino said Tuesday. "It's a dangerous world, and a heartbreaking circumstance." Pueblo Police Chief Jim Billings shared Corsentino's sorrow. "We're shocked and saddened by the news, especially since that's two officers they've lost this year," Billings said. "I'm sure everyone's devastated up there. We feel the loss because of the sense of family among law enforcement." The last on-duty slaying of a Pueblo police officer was on Dec. 29, 1973, when Cpl. Thomas Hanson was shot as he interrupted a robbery at a Downtown convenience store. Since then, two Colorado State Patrol troopers assigned to this region were killed in accidents while on duty in 1979 and 1987. Although it has been more than three decades since a Pueblo officer has been killed in the line of duty, Billings said no community is exempt from the daily threats that law enforcement officers face. He noted that officers have been killed in communities even smaller than Pueblo in recent years. Billings said the circumstances of Jordan's death - being shot during a routine traffic stop - highlight the danger associated with every function that police perform. "That's something that's inherent in police work," said Billings. "There's danger in everything we do. But we have to keep a balanced perspective to avoid being paranoid." "From my experience and looking at it from a patrol perspective, at any time you can encounter challenges," Corsentino said. "These officers in Colorado Springs even had backup, and still found themselves in harm's way." Billings noted the timing of Jordan's death and its proximity to Christmas, a parallel shared with Hanson's death in 1973. "Because it's so close to Christmas, that adds to the sadness and tragedy of the situation," Billings said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Colorado Springs Police Department and the family of the fallen officer. They have our deepest sympathy." Representatives of the Pueblo Police Department, the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department and the Colorado State Patrol attended a memorial service for Colorado Springs police officer Jared Jensen, 30, in February. He was killed while trying to arrest a fugitive. Billings and Corsentino said contingents from their departments again plan to attend if a public memorial service is held for Jordan.

Journey, Ed.
Ed. Journey - Walsenburg World - September 5, 1901 - Drowned in Flood - Word was brought to Walsenburg Tuesday morning that Ed. Journey, a young man living at the Quillian saw mill at the head of Cotton creek, a tributary of Williams creek, had been drowned in a flood which had washed away the house at the mill. The house and all the lumber about were washed away and nothing left standing but the mill itself. The flood was the result of a cloud burst Saturday evening. Mr. Journey was living alone at the house and had evidently retired for the night. Nothing was known of the sad occurrence until Tuesday when Mr. Geo.

Judkins, Addie F.
Addie F. Judkins – Summit County Journal – September 30, 1899 – Children Were Crushed – Distressing Collision on the D. & R. G. Near Canon City – Denver, Sept. 25. – A special to the Republican says: Six lives were snuffed out in a twinkling by the collision of a Judson excursion train with a fast freight, at Reno, four miles out of Canon City, on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, at 4:08 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Two are fatally and eight more or less seriously injured. A misinterpretation of orders, or a blunder, the blame for which has not been fixed, is responsible for the catastrophe. The Judson excurision train, bound from Chicago to San Francisco, left Pueblo at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. This train consisted of an empty passenger coach and two tourist sleeping cars, both of which were filled with passengers, most of them bound for their homes in the West. The excursion train was drawn by a monster Mogul engine. At Florence orders were received to meet a fast freight train at Reno, four miles west of that place. An east-bound narrow gauge freight train received orders at Canon City to meet the excursion train at Reno. The siding was reached and passed by the freight which was gliding along down grade at a high rate of speed. The road winds through the tortuous Arkansas valley with many curves and turns. The excursion train was speeding along toward the siding under full head of steam. The passengers on the excursion train were admiring the beautiful scenery. Upon the platform of the forward sleeping car stood a group of children under the care of their elders. Simultaneous shrieks from two locomotives, the reversal of levers, a leap for life by two engineers and two firemen and then a crash. The two monster iron horses solidly interlocked marked the center of a heap of debris. Those killed are: Eva M. Walker, aged 12, Westford, Massachusetts; Eugenie B. Judkins, aged 12, Spokane, Washington; Addie F. Judkins, aged 10, Spokane, Washington; George H. Judkins, aged 6, Spokane, Washington; Merville Wills, aged about 10, son of Mrs. Effie Wills, who was fatally injured, Los Angeles, California; F. Salter, manager of the excursion, Boston. The anguish of parents bereaved of their children was distressing to see. So great was the force of the collision that the boiler of the big passenger engine formed a coat for that of the smaller engine. The day coach was jammed back into the middle sleeper nearly half its length, and cars loaded with ore are piled up in a mass of ruins. The tender of 574, the freight engine, lies across the track with one end resting on a box car. The disaster occurred on the identical spot where a similar though less serious collision happened last winter. The track passed under a high bluff, which forms one bank of the river.

Julen, Nels
Nels Julen – Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – April 28, 1913 – From Thursday's Daily – Death of Nels Julen – Death claimed Nels Julen, of 501 East Third street, a miner in this district for many years, yesterday after he had been sick with pneumonia only three days. Mrs. Julen, his wife, is critically sick in a hospital in Pueblo. Her condition is so grave that it was thought inadvisable to notify her of her husband's death by telegraph, and she did not learn of it till her sister, Mrs. Charles Anderson, of this city, went to Pueblo last night and informed her in person. Julen realized that death was near at hand Tuesday when, to forestall it, he had a quit claim deed filed with the county clerk by which all his property at 501 East Third street was made over to his wife. He was taken sick last Saturday, but not until Monday was he forced to take to bed. His sickness developed complications and became rapidly more serious until the end at 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was pointed out last night as a strange coincidence that a week ago on the same day and at the same minute, 12:30, Julen's brother-in-law, William T. Sundstedt died of the same disease at 517 East Third street. Julen's death made the sixth in the family within four years. Julen was 55 years old. He is survived by a wife, a daughter, Miss Ada Julen, one son, four brothers, one sister and a mother. His brothers, sisters and mother live at Gypsum. One brother, Gus Julen, arrived in the city yesterday morning in time to see his brother before he died. Others of the family living at Gypsum are expected to come for the funeral services, which have not yet been completely arranged.

Julen, Susannah
Susannah Julen – Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – September 28, 1914 – Death of Mrs. Susannah Julen – Mrs. Susannah Julen, formerly a resident of Leadville, died yesterday morning at her home in Pueblo where she was forced to remove four years ago from Leadville when a dropsical sickness of which she suffered became severe. She was 47 years old. Two sisters, Mrs. Lottie Thelin, of 521 East Third street, and Mrs. Charles Anderson, survive her here. A son and daughter – Edna and Henry – survive in Pueblo, and had lived with the mother during her residence there. Dick Sundstedt, a brother, lives in Nevada. Mrs. Julen was well known in Leadville through a long residence here before her forced removal to Pueblo. Two years after she went to Pueblo her husband, Nels Julen, a miner and leaser, died here in April, 1913. Her remains will be brought to Leadville this evening for burial.
