| O'BRIEN, EDMOND | December 7, 1887 LYNCHING A FIEND The Way They Treat Those Who Assault Women in Alamosa - special to the Denver Republican Alamosa, Colo., Dec. 1 - At one o'Clock on Wednesday morning a man named Edmond O'Brien was lynched at the cattle yard west of Alamosa, for making a criminal assault upon the person of a young lady living in this city. The assault occurred on Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock, and was a most horrible affair. O'Brien, who was a dirty, thieving vagabond, picked the lock of the door leading into the lady's bedroom, and when first discovered was endeavoring to light a lamp. The young lady thought he was a burglar and kept perfectly quiet, thinking he would get what he wanted and leave. Instead of doing this he advanced to her bedside and boldly informed her that he intended to remain with her all night. The lady implored him to leave her and not attempt to carry out his horrible purpose. He told her that under one condition he would let her off, and that was to give him $50. This she could not do, as she only had a few dollars in her room. Then commenced a desperate struggle which lasted for nearly an hour. The brute finally became exhausted and lay down beside his victim and fell fast asleep. Then the girl escaped and made her way in her night-clothes and bare feet to the residence of Rev. Amos Bannister. She was in a bad condition, her body being covered with wounds and bruises. She named her assailant and fully described him. O'Brien was arrested early on Tuesday morning and was confined in the jail. Intense excitement prevailed throughout the town and considerable talk of lynching was indulged in. On Wednesday morning at 1 o'clock twenty-five armed and masked men went to the jail and breaking the lock, took O'Brien out. He begged for mercy at first but seeing that it was useless remained silent. Before reaching the place where he was to bid farewell to this world he acknowledged his guilt, but said he had been drunk or he would never have done it. He met his death from all your correspondent can learn, without apparent fear, and died from strangulation in ten minutes. Never was anything done in Alamosa that has caused as much satisfaction as the event of yesterday morning. Alamosa is thoroughly alarmed and proposes driving all the evil characters out of the city. Determined men are banded together for this purpose and if any one is found walking the crooked path he will get notice to leave the town inside of twelve hours. O'Brien was a thoroughly bad character and the country at large is the gainer by his stretching rope. He confessed to having planned to burn the armory building and also to set fire to the house of Captain Mix. This he was to do out of revenge, he having a short time before been arrested for stealing state blankets. O'Brien was buried in a two-foot hole, yesterday afternoon, a few feet from the spot where he was hanged. |

| PRATT, ALANSON E. | January 23, 1889 Mr. Alanson E. Pratt, fell into eternal sleep at 11 o'clock p.m. Saturday at his residence No. 223 East Seventh street. Deceased was the father of our well-known townsman, Capt. Harry A. Pratt, with whom he has made his home for the past eight years. He was the son of Henry and Charity MacWartor Pratt, was born in Goshen, orange county, N.Y. Jan. 24, 1809, and therefore lacks just twelve days of his 80th birthday but his vigourous health and unimpaired mental faculities did not indicate such advanced age. Since the last of October his familiar figure, with firm, quick step, and beautiful snowy hair and beard has been seen less and less frequently on our streets, and for over two months his final illness confined him at home, during which time he has been pleased to receive many kind friends and always comforted by the tender, faithful ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Wilkins. Two sons and a daughter, besides relatives and friends in Elmira and Warwick, N.Y. are left to mourn his loss. The remains will be interred beside those of his wife at Bloomfield, Iowa where his daughter Mrs. F. W. Eichelberger resides - Sedalia (Mo.) Bazoo The above deceased was the father of Hon. G. C. Pratt, so well and favorably known to most of our readers. Mr. Pratt has our sympathy in his bereavement. |

| PRATT, LYDIA C. | January 24, 1894 Died - At her home in Castle Rock, Wednesday evening, January 17th, of hemorrhage of the brain, causing paralysis, Mrs. Lydia C. Pratt, wife of Hon. G. C. Pratt, aged nearly 54 years. Funeral services were conducted at the church by Rev. Harris Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large number of people who gathered to pay their last respects to one whom they had known and loved for many years. The remains were laid to rest in the Castle Rock cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Pratt were married in November, 1858 and for more than three and a half decades have borne life's joys and sorrows together. In 1862 they braved the hardships consequent upon a trip across the plains, as well as the dangers from the Indians, and came to Colorado to cast their lot with other brave pioneers and have ever since made this their home. After a few years residence in Colorado she returned to her eastern home for a short time but soon came back again, crossing the plains with teams as before. For 27 years her home has been in Douglas county where she has enjoyed the confidence and esteem of her entire circle of acquaintance and her removal leaves many aching hearts. |
