Martin, C. H.
C. H. Martin - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - November 20, 1911 - From Saturday's Daily - Death of C. H. Martin - With the passing of C. H. Martin at Pueblo last week, Leadville lost another of her old pioneers who has been here since 1878 and has given his efforts to making the camp what it is today and what it has been in the past. The cause of Mr. Martin's death
was dropsy, from which he has been ailing since last June. He went to Pueblo three weeks ago in hopes that his health might be improved from treatment in Clark's sanitarium. He died on Wednesday and the remains were yesterday sent to Leadville for interment. C. H. Martin was born in 1851 in Kalamazoo, Mich. His parents both died when he was still a child and the boy from that time had to make his own living. Through his own efforts he obtained an education in the schools of Constantine, Mich., and for a number of years taught in that state and in Kansas. At the age of twenty-seven he came to Colorado and settled in Leadville where he has lived continuously for the past thirty-three years. Mr. Martin was for the most part
connected with the smelters of Leadville. He was first employed by the late Gov. Grant, who in the early days was operating a smelter in this district. He later served as foreman for the American Smelting and Refining company until it closed in 1893. The old pioneer was a man of steady and domestic habits and sought his pleasure in life with his wife and family. Since the time
he married Lydia McDonald in 1887, he was never known to spend an evening out of the company either of his wife or his daughters. The deceased is survived by his wife and two daughters, Helen and Lucile. Both are graduates of the Leadville High school and at present Helen is attending the State university at Boulder. He also leaves behind two sisters, Helen Martin, of Denver and Mrs. F. E. Austin, of Beresford, S. D.; and a brother, William Martin, of Soldier, Idaho. Mr. Martin was a member of the Congregational church. The funeral will take place from the Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon.
Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - November 27, 1911 - Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds - From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle - From Monday's Daily - Funeral of the Late C. H. Martin - Rev. David McMartin of the Presbyterian church yesterday conducted services over the remains of the late C. H. Martin. The funeral took place from the church of which Rev. McMartin is pastor. The services were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased. The persons who had been associated with Mr. Martin during the time he was employed at the smelter were present in a body to pay their last respects to their friend who will work with them no more. A large number
of flowers were received in token of the sympathy for the survivors of the deceased and respect for the old pioneer who passed away. Rev. McMartin spoke of the consolation that is to be drawn from the belief that there is another world to which dear ones pass to wait for those they have left behind. This thought, he said, is especially consoling to the bereaved
ones when they possess the knowledge that the departed person has led a Christian life, such as Mr. Martin's. The choir, consisting of Mrs. Robertson, Miss Meyers, Mr. Jennings and Mr Volkeri, sang "Abide With Me." Mrs.
Robertson sang a solo, "Face to Face." The remains were interred in the G.
A. R. plot of Evergreen cemetery.
John Patrick Martin, 95, died Nov. 7, 2002.
He was born Aug. 12, 1907 to Irish immigrants Mary Byrne and Patrick Martin in
Leadville. He was the eighth of 10 children.
After the death of his father when he was a child, he started delivering coal
for the family business, first in a horse-drawn wagon and eventually in "motortrucks."
This evolved into his career as a self-employed trucker.
On Aug. 8, 1937, Thelma Proffitt promised to love and honor, but not always
obey, John Martin. They honored their love through their service to family,
church, and community.
Over the years, he practiced many other trades. He was a skilled carpenter,
building the home his family enjoyed for more than forty years. He
"retired" to become the head of maintenance at Colorado Mountain
College where he became a friend and mentor to many young adults in the
tumultuous sixties.
His quiet compassion and caring for those in difficulty was little known by
most but much appreciated by those lives he touched. When he saw a need, he
simply tried to meet it. He was as comfortable with a baby in his arms as a
load of lumber on his back. Neighbor children often came to his door,
"Can John come out to play?" After moving to Columbia, Mo., in 1991,
he spent much of his time at his daughter's childcare center, rocking babies.
Before leaving Leadville, he was active as a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus,
in the Elks, and the Royal Order of Hibernians.
He is survived by daughters Maurine (Ellis) Ruble, Edgewater, Colo.; Patricia
(George) Miller, Mission, Kan.; and Lucile Martin, Columbia, Mo.;
grandchildren Kathleen, Colleen, John E, James, Patrick and Katrina; and great
grandchildren Eric, Jerome and Ryan.
His life was celebrated at Sacred Heart Church on Nov. 12. His ashes will be
buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in Leadville at a later date.
Memorial gifts honoring him may be sent to Sanctuary of Hope, 2601 Ridge Ave.,
Kansas City, KS 66102-4617; the Annunciation Church, 609 Poplar, Leadville, CO
80461; or the church of your choice.
Long-time Leadville resident Andy Mastripolito, 74, died suddenly in his home in
Leadville. He was born in Denver on Sept. 28, 1927 to Anthony and Angela (Piergiovanni) Mastripolito. After graduating from high school in Leadville, he operated the Phillips 66 bulk plant and
garage. He then enlisted in the United States Army. Following an honorable discharge, he returned to Leadville where he owned and operated the
Speedway Garage and Towing Service. His interest in cars served him well as he then became
the mechanic for the Lake County Road and Bridge Crew. After working there for 10 years,
he then became a postman and also worked for a couple of years at Climax as their
mechanic.
He was eventually approached by the superintendent of schools to become their auto
mechanics teacher. He then went back to school, earning a Master’s Degree in Auto
Mechanics. He continued to teach at Lake County High School until his retirement. No doubt
there are countless Leadvillites who remember being in his classes. He enjoyed reading and was a “wiz” at math. During his college career, he took
astronomy as an elective and was in his element as they calculated light years and rocket
projects. He loved cars and enjoyed nothing more than a day at a car show. We will all miss seeing
him driving one of his wonderful old autos in our next parade. Most of all, his family and friends will remember him for his wonderful sense of humor,
his friendly, outgoing personality and how much he loved visiting with people.
He was a life-long member of Annunciation Catholic Church in Leadville and was an active
member of the Knights of Columbus. He also belonged to the Leadville Elk’s Lodge. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister Jean, who died in 1998; and brother-in-law
Ralph Withey.
He is survived by his sister Ann Withey, Leadville; and numerous other cousins and
relatives.
The Rosary was recited on April 25 and Mass of Christian Burial on April 26, both at
Annunciation Catholic Church. Father Tom Killeen officiated and Joan Dawson sang
accompanied by Andy’s good friend, Neil Reynolds. He was laid to rest next to his sister at St. Joseph Cemetery.
The B.P.O.E. Lodge #236 conducted the committal service and pallbearers were Ned Mitchell,
Ed O’Leary, Bill Kerrigan, Joe Garcia, Bill Skala and Frank Bradach. The Church hosted a reception at the Parish Hall following the interment. Arrangements were handled by Bailey Funeral Home.

Frank Meyers - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - March 2, 1914 - Heroin and Whiskey Killed Frank Meyers - Frank Meyers, a cripple who has been in the city for several weeks, dropped dead in State street shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning, supposedly as the result of an overdose of a drug. Meyers fells to the sidewalk a few seconds before Jack Riley passed along the street. Riley picked him up and assisted him to a doorway of Jackson's rooming house where Meyers sat down while Riley telephoned for a doctor. Before the doctor and the police arrived, Meyers had died. Policeman Bergman telephoned to Coroner O'Malia, Deputy Walsh taking charge of the body a few minutes later. Meyers, who was a man between 40 and 50 years of age, had been in the city for several weeks, appearing in police court once in that time on a charge of vagrancy of which he was found guilty. At that time he gave his name as Frank Meyers. His right leg at some time had been amputated below the knee, and he walked by means of an artificial leg and a cane. No means of identification were found on his person. A bottle
of"white line," a razor and a shaving brush were the only objects in his pockets. Police and sheriff's men found yesterday that Meyers had secured
a large dose of heroin, a drug, during the night, and said that they learned he had taken it, drinking whiskey afterwards. The after affect is thought to have caused his death. Meyers is thought to have come here from Pueblo, where his mother is supposed to live.
Hugh McGeehan - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - March 31, 1913 - Will Attend Funeral - Mrs. Neal McGee of Pueblo and her two small children arrived in the city yesterday to attend the funeral of Mrs. McGee's brother, Hugh McGeehan, today.

Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - March 31, 1913 - Funeral of Hugh McGeehan - Hugh McGeehan, for twenty-five years a miner in the Leadville district, was buried in St. Joseph's cemetery yesterday morning.

O'Malley officiating and singing the requiem high mass. Messrs. Dennis Shea, James McHale, William Kelly, John Savage and John Smith acted as pall bearers. Mr. McGeehan had lived for a number of years at 702 East Fourth street, with his brothers William and Cornelius McGeehan with whom he followed the mining business in this district.

also survives him, and was present with her two small children at the services yesterday. The deceased was born in Ireland, but came to Leadville from Scotland where he had sojourned for a year or so.

John J. McGowan - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - October 16, 1911 - Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds - From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle - From Monday's Daily - The death of John J. McGowan at the county hospital Saturday marks the passing of ____ _____ ____ ___ ___ ____ _______ characters that have made the pages of the history of this camp good reading. Among these characters is the man who just missed joining a company that "struck it rich;" the man who did "strike it" and spent it all; the man who sold a claim for a pittance and afterward saw others get rich. All these characters Leadville boasts of. Some of them are still living. But John J. McGowan was different from all of them. His life story does not tell of how he missed getting rich or how he was once rich. He was never rich, and he never had any prospects of getting rich. The peculiar note of McGowan's song of life was that he was always GOING to get rich. His mining "deals" consisted of one long series of organizations of paper companies. More often, though, he did not take the trouble to describe the property on paper. Most of the corporations that he organized were but the figments of his vivid imagination. He was an organizer who never organized anything. And yet his castles in Spain brought him some revenue. They at least kept him out of the county hospital for a number of years. McGowan had the faculty of being able to transform his fairy mining schemes into good substantial boarding house fare. In this respect he was superior to most dreamers who got nothing for their dreams but a pile of rags in a garret and a diet of bread and water. A glance at McGowan's method in cashing his dreams might be helpful to that class of persons who concern themselves with the architecture of air castles. McGowan kept (a) close tab on the boarding houses of Leadville. He had boarded at most of them for a year or more, and he always paid his bills. He never failed to do that when the landlady became anxious and asked him about a settlement. McGowan believed in paying up; that was one of the rules of his life. So when the landlady spoke to McGowan he would take out a fountain pen and say:"My dear madam, you are not aware, I take it, that I am interested in the organization of a mining company of which I am to be chief stockholder and president." As a rule the landlady would reply that she was not aware of anything of that sort. Then McGowan, who all the time had been waving the pen importantly, would turn to the pad of paper on the table and write a few words in a fine flourishing hand that made the landlady think he surely must be a president of some sort. He would then hand the woman a statement to the effect that he owed her such and such an amount and that he would pay it to her in the stock of such and such a company. Then McGowan would hunt a new boarding place and pay the landlady her bill in "stocks."
After a time the landladies of Leadville had got all the stocks they needed in this life, and McGowan lost his credit. So he began to watch for new places to open up where he might introduce himself and leave a promise of his stocks. It had got to a point where he couldn't get a meal at the places where there was no lead of introducing himself. That is how the old dreamer cashed his dreams. It shows a certain amount of ingenuity and uniqueness. The average dreamer starves to death with a hundred schemes in his head and nothing in his stomach. But McGowan was an extraordinary dreamer; he knew how to get his board, if not his fortunes, from his wildcat schemes. In this way McGowan stepped around the expediency of begging or receiving charity. That was the point on which he was ____. He took offense at the offer of a "helping hand." He had been an expert bookkeeper in his day, and had earned a good salary in the employ of the Clatlin (?) company of New York. Very likely, it was the memory of his former vocation (?) and the knowledge of his ability that kept him from begging or receiving alms.
He finally had to give up the struggle to side-step charity and go to the county hospital. By the tim e that he went he was so broken in health and so weak that it is likely that he had not enough spirit left to care whether he was paying board with imaginary stocks or living on the charity of the county. He kept a diary and set down punctiously (?) the state of the weather each day, the success he had in securing a loan and the menu for breakfast. One or two excerpts from the diary gives the keynote to the latter part of his life that was spent in effecting "loans" in preference to accepting alms and of boarding on the strength of his "stocks" in preference to becoming a beggar."May 16 - Heard today that ---- made a good strike in silver. Must see him about a loan." "June 3 - Got a loan of five from ---- today. Food is good. Must begin to think on paying board." "June 5 - Got ? pint from ---- today. Had oatmeal for breakfast."
"July 18 - Consulted Madam ---- today. She told of my past, present and future. Said I would get a paper in a few days. Would be rich." McGowan knew the geology of Leadville thoroughly and located many claims. He had brains and imagination. He could conceive great things, but he lacked the "something" that is necessary to make dreams realities. He could have outlined on paper any of the great schemes that have materialized in this camp and are now paying propositions. But McGowan was not the man to execute what he planned. That he was an imaginative genius without being a practical one is shown by the remark that people make of him now that he is dead. "He was one of the 'millionaires' of Leadville, but his millions were in his mind." So they were "all in his mind," but with a little executive talent in his make-up they might have been in his pocket. Note: The quality of this article was very poor. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - October 30, 1911 - Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds - From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle - From Monday's Daily - M'Gowan's Son-In-Law Heard From - Word was received last week by Coroner O'Malia from the son-in-law of John J. McGowan, who died over a week ago in Leadville.
After an attempt to locate the family of the deceased in Pueblo it was found that H. S. Payne, the son-in-law, had moved to Los Angeles, Cal. He has made arrangements for the funeral which will be held some time this week. In a letter found, among the possessions of the late McGowan, from Mr. Payne, it appears that McGowan's daughter knew nothing of the indigent circumstances of her father, and it is likely that old John J. with all his pride took pains to keep his people in Pueblo ignorant of the fact that he had one foot in the county hospital and that it was a question of but a few months when the other would go in. The letter confirms the opinion advanced by many of McGowan's friends and acquaintances that the old "mine promoter" was extraordinarily sensitive on the subject of his financial distress. It appears from the letter that Mr. Payne was at the time of writing holding a good position as chief clerk to the master mechanic of the Denver and Rio Grande shops in Pueblo. In the letter he assumes that McGowan is a prosperous mining man. Judging from what is known of McGowan's character it seems probable that McGowan himself conveyed this impression. It was of the peculiar traits of his mind to pose as a well-to-do promoter of a mining scheme of vast proportions.
If he carried this air of prosperity among his acquaintances it is all the more probable that he would carry it in his communications with his relatives. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - October 30, 1911 - Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds - From the Herald Democrat and the Evening Chronicle - From Friday's Daily - Funeral of the Late J. J. McGowan - The funeral of the late John J. McGowan was held yesterday from the chapel of Moynahan and O'Malia's undertaking parlors. The remains were interred in Evergreen cemetery. The pallbearers were: Dan Healy, Sam McGowan, Hugh Duffy, William Martin, Robert Walsh and John Kearney.

No change can therefore be made in the arrangements, it was said last night. The sheriff will probably take him to Pueblo today.

Died of Her Injuries
Unfortunate Fate of the Little Daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Murphy
Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle Feb 24, 1893. Front Page
The insignia of death flutters from the front door of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O. Murphy, 202 West Seventh street, and the house is in mourning over the death of their little daughter, Alice, aged 8 years and 4 months, which occurred yesterday about noon. She died from injuries received by being run over by a heavy draying sleigh several days ago. Alice, it appears, was crossing the street in front of the home of her parents, and, not noticing the approach of the vehicle, she was run down, and the runners passed over her body, injuring her internally. The wounded girl was removed to her home, and Dr. Galloway summoned. He did everything that medical science could suggest to save the life of the unfortunate girl, but to no avail, and death finally put and end to her suffering.
Coroner Nelson was notified, and will use every effort to find
out whether the driver of the sleigh was responsible for the sad accident.
George Muselman - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - April 27, 1914 - Funeral of George Muselman - Services, which were heard by a large congregation which filled the chapel of the Moynahan & O'Malia Undertaking company, were held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 over the remains of the late George Muselman, pioneer miner and leaser of the Leadville district, who died at the age of 71 years Monday following a general physical breakdown. The services were conducted by the Rev. David McMartin, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, who gave an address of striking sympathy and feeling. The musical part of the ceremonies was rendered by Miss Agnes Orwell, accompanied by Miss Anna McLeod, their selections being "Abide With Me" and"Lead, Kindly Light." Flowers came from friends in all parts of the city and from the fraternal orders of which Henry Muselman, son of the deceased is a member. These formed a beautiful mass about the casket, being placed so that the varied colors harmonized effectively. Burial was in the I. O. O. F. plot of Evergreen cemetery, besides the grave of Mr. Muselman's wife, who died here in 1887. The pall bearers were all men who had known Mr. Muselman well. They were Messrs. Howard E. Burton, George S. Curtis, Harry Beamer, J. B. Stewart, Murdock Stewart and Thomas McCormick. Mrs. Florence James, the only surviving daughter of Mr. Muselman, and her husband, of Pueblo, arrived in the city to attend the services.

John Nelson - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - January 7, 1918 - John Nelson - Tributes to one of the most adept practical mining men in the district as well as one of the most respected, were paid by friends who formed an unusually large congregation when funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 2 for the late John Nelson, late manager of the Mikado lease, whose advice and predictions led to opening of one of the best mining prospects in the Mikado territory. The services were held at the family home, 509 (?) East Third street, to which the mining man's body was brot Monday morning by his children, Robert and Miss Edith, after his death at Pueblo Saturday night last. The house was not large enough to accommodate but a portion of the congregation. Many friends stood in the street and some, seeing the crowded condition inside the house, remained in their carriages during the services, attending later the services at the grave in the Elks' Rest. The casket was buried in flowers, tributes from the family, the Elks and Eagles lodges, of which Mr. Nelson was an esteemed life member, his mining associates and scores of other friends. There were so many of these that they had to be taken to the cemetery later in a special sleigh. Funeral rites were conducted by the Elks lodge at the home and the graveside, in addition to the church services for which the Rev. Leroy Ellis of the Baptist church officiated. Two hymns, "Abide With
Me" and "Meet Me There," the latter in the Swedish language reminiscent of
Mr. Nelson's birthplace in Sweden, were sung by the Swedish Lutheran church choir, with Mrs. Albert Peterson playing the organ accompaniment. Singers in this choir were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Moosberg, Irene Bonthron, Charles Nordberg, Mrs. John Lundberg and Hjalmar Graff. John McSweeny, Chaplain
officiating Elks who conducted the lodge rites. At the end of the
services, the cortege of carriages and sleighs which started from the house to convey attending friends to the Elks' Rest extended over three blocks as it drove down Third street and north on Harrison avenue. The Elks attending, a
large delegation of Eagles and the choir led the procession in the carriages. Mr. Nelson was laid at rest beside the grave of his wife, who died six years ago. The pall bearers represented mining and lodge associates. They
were John Harvey, George O. Argall, W. M. Harvey, George W. Casey, Chris Anderson and William Pearson. The Elks and the Rev. Ellis led committal rites at
the graveside, and the choir sung "My Life is a Wave" in Swedish. To
mining men who knew Mr. Nelson's ability as a practical mine manager and the great interest he took in mining affairs, to his two children and his friends who liked him for his sociable, helpful spirit, his death at the age of 52 years seemed only untimely - far too soon. It followed a long sickness of a year of miner's consumption, for which there was no hope of recovery tho everything possible was done to effect it. Thru thirty years of experience in the district, Mr. Nelson had acquired an extensive knowledge of the mining industry of Leadville. He was foreman at the Mikado in 1896 and at the Penrose in 1901. In 1903 he began employment as superintendent of the Bassick mine at Silver Cliff. He engaged extensively in leasing also, especially on the Gold Basin and at the Mikado in 1909. It was thru his experience at the Mikado that he gained acquaintance with the geology of the ground there and the formations that are now being opened up. He had
wanted to re-open the old Mikado shaft, and it was said he was the first mining man to see the great possibilities of the lower ore zone of this property. He is also given credit for interesting the Iron Silver Mining company in undertaking its present project at the Mikado, which is now considered one of the most promising prospects in the entire district. After the Iron Silver company opened up this property, Mr. Nelson was retained as manager of the Mikado lease in which he was interested with George A. Argall, manager of the company, John Harvey and George W. Casey, well-known mining men, and others. He held this position until sickness forced him to retire last fall.

Mr. O'Connor was a '70er and made a host of friends during his residence here. He died of pneumonia at St. Vincent's hospital after a sickness of several days. The pallbearers, all old time friends, were M. C. Dwyer, Harry Mc??lmun, Thos. Flaherty, Martin Flood, Morgan Walsh, and Ted Connors.
The following tribute was paid to Texas Jack at his gravesite by his old friend Buffalo Bill Cody, as reported in the HERALD DEMOCRAT, Leadville, Colorado, Sunday, September 6, 1908 (28 years after Jack's death):
My friends, perhaps many of you do not know this man whom we have gathered to honor. No doubt you would like to know something of him, who was one of my dearest and most intimate friends: John B. Omohundro, better known as "Texas Jack" was a Virginian by birth. The blood of the Powhatan Indians flowed in his veins. He was of proud and noble birth.
During the Civil War he was a member of the cavalry commanded by Col. Jeb Stuart of the Confederate Army. He was one of his most trusted and faithful scouts, and performed almost invaluable service for him.
After the war he drifted westward and located in Texas, where he took up the hazardous work of a cowboy. He was one of the original Texas cowboys, when life on the plains was a hardship and a trying duty.
When they began to drive the cattle to the northern country, he engaged in that occupation, following the herds northward, and returning after each trip for another herd. Finally, he located at North Platte, Nebraska. It was there that I first met him. He was an expert trailer and scout. I soon recognized this and...secured his appointment in the United States service...
In this capacity I learned to know him and to respect his bravery and ability. He was a whole-souled, brave, generous, good-hearted man.
Later he and I went East to go into the show business. He was the first to do a lasso act upon the stage.
...During this tour of the large cities he met and married Mlle Morlacchi, a famous dancer, who traveled with him.
After I left him, he and she continued to travel. They came to Leadville, where she was engaged as a performer. Becoming attached to the place, my friend and his wife remained for a while.
It was while here that he was stricken with pneumonia, which was then prevalent. He succumbed, and was buried here under this mound by his many friends.
Jack was an old friend of mine and a good one. Instead of this board which now marks his grave, we will soon have erected a more substantial monument, one more worthy of a brave and good man.
"May he rest in peace."
William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody, dissatisfied with the modest grave marker at the
gravesite of Texas Jack, arranged to have erected a "suitable
monument" in this Leadville cemetery.

Lois Orphan - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - August 13, 1917 - Lois Orphan - The remains of Lois Orphan, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Orphan of Pueblo, formerly pioneer residents here, were buried in the Leadville Masonic cemetery yesterday morning, soon after arriving from Pueblo. The child, who was 1 ? years old, died Tuesday last of a hemorrhage of the lungs which followed an attack of diphtheria. Funeral services at Pueblo were private, owing to the nature of the disease, and only brief private ceremonies were observed here at the chapel of the Moynahan and O'Malia Undertaking company. The casket shipped in a sealed box, was not opened here. Mr. Orphan, the girl's father, and her brother, Max, who is about 16 years old, accompanied the body to Leadville.
Well known mining man and successful lessee of the district, died yesterday at 108 Oak street, after a short illness of pneumonia. Mr. Ortwein had been leasing at the Yak recently when he was stricken, and the attack was so severe that it was no considered prudent to remove him to the hospital. A sister, Mrs. Mary Eymann, of
Denver, who has been notified of his serious illness, was with him in his last moments.
Richard Ortwein was born in Germany forty-two years ago, December 10, 1878, and came to the United States when still a youth. He first found employment on a farm, and later came to Denver, but the gold boom in the Cripple Creek district attracted him and since that time he has lived in the mountains of Colorado, coming to Leadville in 1897, where he engaged in mining and leasing operations in the Ibex, the Yak and in the St. Kevin district have been quite successful.
At the time of his death Mr. Ortwein was a member of the Turner and the Barugari organizations. He was at one time a member of the active class of the Turners, and few of the members excelled him in feats of athletic skill. During the past few years his health began to fall considerably, but he still continued his mining operations until his last illness.
Besides his sister, Mrs. Mary Eymann, of Denver, who is here, Ortwein is survived by three other sisters, Mrs. August Hunter, of Victor, Mrs. William Fesger, of Victor, and Mrs. Edward Eymann, of San Diego, and one brother living in Leipzig, Germany.
The remains will be taken to Denver for interment.
Richard Ortwein had many friends in the district who will sincerely regret his death. He was a quiet, modest and unassuming man, who devoted himself to his chosen calling, and those closest to him speak highly of his sterling qualities as a man and a worker

Peerman, a well known employe of the Arkansas Valley smelter and a member of the Elks' lodge, died yesterday at St. Vincent's hospital, following a surgical operation which it was hoped would remedy an ailment of the digestive organs which had troubled Mrs. Peerman for several weeks. She was 32 years old. Mrs. Peerman, whose maiden name was Gross, was born in Hedtstett (?), Germany, on July 4, 1882, and came to America when a child. She had lived in Leadville and Pueblo for a number of years, and had lived in Monterey, Mexico, for sometime when Mr. Peerman was located there as a furnace foreman at the A. S. & R. smelter. It was at the conclusion of his employment at that plant of the company that Mr. and Mrs. Peerman were thought to have been lost through the outbreak of the Mexican revolution. Being forced to seek devious routes and slow methods of travel, the Peermans were lost to their relatives here for several weeks before they reached the border and means of sending communications. Mr. and Mrs. Peerman remained in Pueblo for a time on returning to Colorado, and then came to Leadville when Mr. Peerman was transferred to a position at the A. V. plant. Since then they have lived at 407 West Third street. Surviving Mrs. Peerman besides her husband are three sisters and one brother: Mrs. E. L Brown and A. T. Gross, who reside in the city; Miss Marie Gross, of Pueblo; and Mrs. J. S. Bryant, of Leavenworth, Kansas. The latter were notified yesterday. During her residence in the city, Mrs. Peerman made many friends who held her in high esteem. Her sudden passing yesterday was to them a severe shock. Arrangements were made yesterday to hold funeral services Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the residence and at the Church of the Annunciation at 9:30 o'clock. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - March 22, 1915 - From Thursday's Daily - Funeral of Mrs. Annie J.

The Rev. Father W. J. O'Malley officiated, assisted by the Annunciation choir, and sang the requiem high mass, later giving a brief address in which he tendered high tribute to Mrs. Peerman, a resident of Leadville for a number of years and during that time a devoted member of the church. Mrs. J. M. Knight, accompanied by Miss Ethel Conley, sang "Calvary," the beautiful solo of the services.

Jeremiah "Jerry" N. Pierce - Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - January 8, 1917 - Jere N. Pierce Dies In Pueblo - Was One of Pioneer Live Stock Men of State, and Lived for Many Years in Leadville - Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 1. - J. N. Pierce, prominent cattleman of Leadville and Denver, died in a Pueblo hospital today after an illness of several weeks. The death in Pueblo at Clark's Wells yesterday of Jeremiah N. Pierce, pioneer Leadville cattleman, chief organizer of the famous Pierce-Reef Cattle company which grazed herds all over western Colorado and Wyoming and former Lake county commissioner and Leadville alderman, carried to the great vanguard of pioneers one of Colorado's foremost builders. Old friends of the veteran cattleman who was 68 years old, knew of his serious sickness at Pueblo and had learned that death was imminent. Members of the Mt. of the Holy Cross Commandery No. 5, Knights Templar, in which he retained membership, sent him Christmas greetings in the way of roses which were taken to his sick room on Christmas Eve. Other local friends also sent their holiday greetings, knowing that it might prove to be their last opportunity. Mr. Pierce had been failing in health for a number of years. About fifteen years ago he was held up and robbed in a caboose of a cattle train on which he was tending cattle on the way to market, and was severely beaten when he put up resistance. This serious outcome of the holdup in the Minturn railroad yards, Eagle county, was believed by his friends and family to be the breaking point in his usual good health. He never fully enjoyed perfect physical condition after that occurrence. During the last year his health had failed rapidly. When he visited old associates in Leadville early last fall, he complained that he was not so strong as formerly and could not stand much exertion. Several weeks ago he underwent a surgical operation at a Salida hospital in hopes that it would remedy the kidney and kindred ailments which affected him. As soon as he was able he was taken to the hospital at Clark's Wells, where he died yesterday. Mrs. Pierce, their daughter and two sons, all former Leadville residents, had been with him constantly during the holidays. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. Jeremiah N. Pierce, known throughout the west as "Jerry" Pierce, was born in Monticello, Wayne county, Kentucky, on May 21 (?), 1848. Three years later his parents settled on a farm in Wayne county, Iowa, where Pierce on reaching school age attended the public schools. In 1871 he went to St. Louis and for two years was employed as collector for Dr. A. Coyle. His advent in Colorado was dated February 24, 1873, when he came to Fremont county and engaged in a cattle business which occupied him there until 1882. In the latter year(s) Mr. Pierce moved to Leadville and soon engaged in a wholesale butcher and meat business, enlarging it and branching out into the cattle raising business. He became one of the foremost residents of Leadville, and in 1886 was elected as city alderman from the First ward, a position he held one term. In November, 1888, he was elected a member of the board of county commissioners and served out the one term. His marriage took place on April 29, 1884, his wife being Emma K. Davis of Pueblo county. In the early days here Mr. Pierce was associated with the wholesale meat business in the firm of Pierce, Hasley & Co. Later when he decided on branching out more extensively into cattle raising, he was the principal in the organization of the Pierce-Reef Cattle Co., which soon became the largest and foremost cattle outfit in the west with herds roaming all of the western slope in Routt, Grand, Rio Blanco and Summit counties and in southern Wyoming. The big outfit bought and owned ranches in most of these counties, tho maintaining its chief headquarters at the Pierce ranch on the Bear river. Several years ago Mr. Pierce bought out the Reef interests in the famous company and became the sole owner of its extensive possessions. He continued active management of the company interests until two years ago when ill health advised lessening of his activities. He sold all of the land and livestock holdings at that time to the Clayton and Mairnam company and retired to his city home in Denver. Mr. Pierce is survived by his wife, a married daughter, Edna, Albert and Horace, who was graduated from the University of Colorado last June. All live in Denver. During the family's residence in Leadville their home was at Spruce and West Seventh streets in the dwelling now occupied by Adam S. Sharp, bookkeeper of the Leadville Water company.
Who died Tuesday, February 3, [1920] at Milwaukee, Wis., was buried yesterday morning in St. Joseph's cemetery following funeral services at 9 o'clock at St. Joseph's church. Many friends of Mr. Plut attended the service and also filled the home of Mark Plut, brother of the decadent, 702 Elm street, from which the cortege started at 9 o'clock.
The requiem high mass of the church was sung by the Rev. Father John Judnic. Numerous floral pieces covered the casket, including a number of set pieces sent by the various organizations to which Mr. Plut belonged. A long cortege followed the hearse to the cemetery.
The pallbearers were Joe Kurson, Albert Kochevar, John Yurich, Matt Savoren, Frank Mohar, and Tony Yurich.
