Domitilla "Tillie" Hope E. Vargas - Orphan World - December 20, 2007 - Our "Tillie" - We wanted to keep you so bad, we watched you day after day until we saw you slip away with a broken heart. God saw you suffer and knew you had your part. He gently closed your weary eyes and took you under his protection. Your memory is our memory from which we will never part; God has you in his care, we have you in our hearts. Nothing can be more beautiful than the memories we have of you; you were special to us, God must have thought so too. All our lives we will miss you as the years come and go, but in our hearts you will live forever because "we love you" yes. Domitilla "Tillie" Hope E. Vargas died on December 17, 2007.

Vasquez, Antoine Pike
Antoine Pike Vasquez - Colorado Weekly Chieftain - February 4, 1869 - Died at Las Cucharas, 19th Street, AP Vasquez, aged 53. Mr. Vasquez was from St. Louis, where his relative still lives. The Vásquez family from which he comes were among the first settlers of this city. His life was spent almost from his childhood in an Indian country, and few names are more familiar to old hunters and travelers than Vásquez. The subject of this ad was in St. Louis when Sir Geo. Gore started his famous expedition through the Rocky Mountains and joined his team. With the help of Mr. Vasquez, Sir George obtained horses from the Indians after losing his own. Mr. Vasquez was an employee of the American Fur Company for many years and had extensive knowledge of the Rocky Mountain country before he began to settle it. Rocky Mountain Weekly News - February 10, 1869 - The tenth, AP Vasquez, died in Las Cucharas at age 53. "Pike" Vasquez, as the subject of the above ad was commonly known, was the nephew of Louis Vasquez, upon whom he bestowed the honor of first exploring the South Platte Valley. There he founded the first trading post; about six miles downriver from this town. "Pike" Vasquez first appeared at this site in 1836 and remained there until 1840. At this time, the plains, up to the foothills of the mountains, were often covered with huge herds of buffalo. As the buffalo withdrew from the mountains, the trading post moved downriver.

Vaughan, Blanche Dietrick
Vaughan, Blanche Dietrick Aspen Weekly Times February 25, 1882 Poor Blanche Dietrick. Many people in this camp remember Blanche Dietrick, who was here last summer with the Tudors. The news of her death a few weeks ago puzzled her friends here, as various parties had heard about her a few days before. She was quite a musician, and with her talent and ladylike demeanor she had made many friends here, and the news of her death will be received with regret. The following report comes from the Kokomo Times and Pueblo Vox Populi. This latest article reads: Mrs. Blanche Vaughan died yesterday (January 24) morning at the residence of WJ Davis. She fell ill last Thursday night and, while doctors were treating her for pleurisy, she developed pneumonia and, after thirty-six hours of unconsciousness, she breathed her last calmly. She was a 31-year-old woman of far greater than ordinary intelligence; a musician of rare ability and possessed a voice rarely equaled; but unfortunately her lines weren't drawn in very smooth places. Born in Massachusetts, and after receiving an excellent education, especially in music and French, she followed the empire star to San Francisco to live with her grandmother, Madame Blanche Dietrick, on Howard Street, a famous wax flower maker. Ella blanche sang on concert stages for years, then she sang in arcades and ended the boredom of many a miner's life. She was in Eureka, Nevada, about four years ago, and in 1879 she came to Leadville, where she married a man named Dan Vaughan, who didn't love her like she should. She sang in Kokomo last June and left her husband for Aspen to join the Tudor dynasty. She filed for divorce through Colonel T.T. Singleton of Aspen and had come to Pueblo last fall with the Tudor family. She devoted her time in Pueblo first to the Opera, then to the Office clubs, then played for a week at the Lyceum in South Pueblo, and after her death was involved in a Turf trade. Poor White! Although her career was not something the religious world could boast of, all of her friends speak of her very fondly and say that she always behaved like a lady and stood out above her surroundings. Her talents should make her life enjoyable and she can be a cautionary tale. The Kokomo Times says: "The above information from Vox Populi will prove interesting to some of our Kokomo readers who remember Ms Vaughan well. Here she was hired as a balladeer and pianist at Wilkin's. As such, we would say that she always acted like a lady." and fought hard to support herself and the useless lazy who should consider it an honor to be called her husband.As long as she supported him, he was too lazy to work and actually took the few hard-earned dollars Blanche had given him. and laid them on the green table.Poor Blanche deserved a better fate, and many a miner of the Ten Mile who has spent a relaxing hour listening to ballads of home and affection will feel suffocated reading these verses.

Velard, Frank A.
Frank A. Velarde - Huerfano World - April 17, 2008 - Frank A. Velarde, a longtime Huerfano County resident, died on April 9, 2008 in Pueblo of Alzheimer's disease. Frank was born in Gardner, Colorado in 1927 to Francisco Guillermo and Annie (Garcia) Velarde. He was one of nine children, and his death was preceded by that of his parents, brothers Antoni and William, and sister Bernadine Bertolero. He was survived by five siblings: Estelle Shannon of Pueblo, Lucille Brehm of Pennsylvania, Emma (Toni) Velarde, Pearl Nardini and Margaret Velarde of Denver. Frank was a World War II veteran serving with his brothers in Europe. He was an ambulance driver. They have served in Italy, Germany, North Africa and Switzerland as part of the greatest generation. After returning home, he took a job at the Colorado Fuel and Iron plant in Pueblo. He was introduced to Della Martinez on a blind date and they were married in 1953. There were five children then; Debra Velarde, Dana Agee-Velarde, F. William (Brenda), Jim (Lana), Gerald (Amy). At the time of his death, Frank was the proud grandfather of an 11-year-old boy; Sherry, Mallory, William, Scott Agee, Geoffrey Dickson, Jason, Erica, Julia, Jack, Eric, and David. Although Frank worked in a mill and retired in 1984, he was born and raised as a farmer. The Velarde family has owned a ranch in southern Colorado since 1888. The great love of his post-family life was raising alfalfa and cattle on his farm. His work at the mill was a means to that end and to raise his young family until they were alone and he could retire and live as his family had for many generations. He was happiest when he was sitting on a horse, truck or tractor, looking at the fruits of his labor or showing someone the beautiful land he loved in all its many aspects and seasons. We can never hear a prairie lark or see a field full of hay bales without thinking about it. Frank has struggled with many things in life; drought, prostate cancer, team bullying, Alzheimer's disease, coyotes, stubborn horse, bigotry in others, and strong-willed children, with varying degrees of success. But his greatest legacy to his family is the unwavering work ethic that he displayed even in the deepest bouts of his illness. He only stopped working when he stopped breathing. We love him, we will miss him, we will never forget him and there will never be another like him. The family of Frank A. Velarde thanks all of his many friends and family who came from near and far to attend his rosary and services. A special thanks to Father Chris, everyone who helped with the party, Boise-Ortega for coordinating with Ft. Carson for providing troops and the local VFW who made their graveside service so memorable, and the Life Division Silvestre for providing escorts for the funeral procession. The family asks for a donation to the Alzheimer's Association to continue the fight against this terrible disease.

Velasco, José
José Velasco Democrat of Aspen December 9, 1903 Strikers attack strikebreakers A few shots and one wounded Several barrages of exchanges between Parliamentarians and strikers in which the miners get the worst possible Summer Story to bring troops to Trinidad Trinidad, Colorado, December 8 Four Italian strikebreakers Tom Jennings, who was transporting in a wagon from Berwind to Primero in the Las Animas County countryside, was ambushed between 5 and 6 a.m. last night, a mile north of Primero. Reportedly, one of the scabs was struck in the foot and one of the mules attached to the wagon was killed. After the first salvo, Jennings and his companions jumped from the wagon and fled into the hills. They are all in First now. Jennings sprained her ankle jumping off the wagon. News of the supposed ambush was brought to Primero by one of the scabs, and Segundo was telephoned to post guards and officers on all roads to and from the site. Second and First are two miles apart. At nine o'clock, a group of six deputies met eight foreigners who were marching towards Segundo from the place where the ambush was to take place; the deputies allegedly ordered the protesters to stop, to which they responded with a volley of rifles and shotguns. The officers then fired, killing one man, fatally wounding two others, and seriously wounding a fourth. The dead in Luciano Desantis. The mortally wounded are J. Velano and B. Dandi. The third wounded man refuses to give his name. Union officials in Trinidad launched an independent investigation. They are inclined to believe that the truth about the ambush and murder of strikers by parliamentarians has not been fully told. They tend to believe that the coal companies are going to extreme measures to force Governor Peabody to fill the district with troops. Telluride Journal December 10, 1903 Riots in Trinidad Raiders ambush a group of vigilantes and one man is killed and three wounded Trinidad, December 8 As a result of yesterday's battle at the coke ovens in Segundo between strikers and vigilantes, a assailant is killed and three are wounded wounded, two fatally. All the men are Italian and Sicilian. The battle was the direct result of an attack on Jennings' unaffiliated group of men who had been ambushed on their way to Primero. The group was brought to Primero by Jennings, brother of the CF&I mine superintendent at Berwind, to work in the camp mines at Primero. They were ambushed while being led across the country from Berwind. News of the ambush spread quickly, and armed guards from Segundo and Primero hastily cut off all trails and roads leading to the old town of Segundo, where the chaotic element of the strikers resides. The guards saw several men coming down the hills towards the ambush. When ordered to stop the strikers, they opened fire. The guards responded with a volley and several attackers fell. Three of that number escaped. None of the guards were injured. The entire country has been stirred by the conflict of the opposing elements and the army is expected to be requested from them. The deceased was identified as Luana Desantias. The mortally wounded are José Velano and Benedotti Bandi. The third wounded man refuses to give his name. Union officials here say the ambush and subsequent murder of the strikers is part of the extreme measures taken by the coal companies to get the governor to send troops to the district. Democrat of Durango December 11, 1903 Follow the companeros (sp) to the last barracks Large influx of miners at the funeral of the dead strikers Peace and tranquility Trinidad, December 10 Nearly 2,000 unionized miners attended the double funeral of Velasco and Desantis, deceased miners in Segundo Monday night fight with the guards that took place here this afternoon. There were no problems, and soon after the funeral, all the miners quietly dispersed and went home. The funeral was the largest turnout ever seen here. [Note: I couldn't verify the real names, so I guessed from all the articles. I searched the Internet for Trinidad Catholic Cemetery to no avail.]

That's the statement made today by one of the city's renowned Sicilian leaders, who characterized the Bacino murder in Denver as a move in the Pueblo War that started an alcohol problem shortly after Colorado dried up. The Sicilian told the Associated Press today that until the assassination of John Danny in the summer of 1925, this faction had only lost one man, Joe Piscopo, the husband of the woman now under arrest for the murder of Frank Bacino. Then came the Bacino murder, and then yesterday's homicide, for a total of five. The first death of the war was Pete Viola, who was shot and killed in Bessemer while driving his delivery truck. This man belonged to the faction accused of yesterday's murder. Carlino and Mulay, relatives of those named in the testimonies of the dying Dannas as their assassins, were killed, and then this faction brought in two bandits. Both were killed. Two men, Pete Walker and Pete LaRocco, were added to the deathbed list as passengers in the cars. Both men are strangers in this town. An inquest was scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Woruz, Sibilla
Sibyl Voruz Warden of the Pueblo July 22, 1920 A speeding train D. and RG kill two women A nurse tries to prevent a patient from dying on the tracks near Woodcroft Mrs. Millie McKenzie, sanitarium inmate, and Mrs. Sibyl Voruz meet a Horrible death Mrs. Sibyl Voruz, a specialist nurse at Woodcroft Sanitarium and Mrs. Millie McKenzie, a patient at Woodcroft Sanitarium, died instantly at 7:50 last night on a departing passenger train headed south from Denver toward the Rio Grande. Ms. Voruz lost her life trying to save the life of her patient. According to reports obtained last night, Ms. Voruz took Ms. McKenzie, who is from Bingham Canon, Utah, for a walk near the sanitarium. Either they were walking along the tracks, which is against institutional guidelines, or the patient insisted on getting on the tracks when the #3 Denver and Rio Grande passenger train appeared from Denver. The locomotive's fireman J. E. Conoway claims that Mrs. McKenzie was running full speed towards the locomotive while Mrs. Voruz apparently followed her in an attempt to catch the patient and keep her out of harm's way. The pair were completely hidden from the view of the rail workers by the high-plank fence that surrounded the Stearns-Roger factory, and by the time they saw them it was too late to stop. Engineer EA Slerth applied the brakes, brought the train to a stop, and the engineers rushed back to provide assistance if possible. He happened to have Trainmaster RL Brown on the train and summoned Dr. Sack from a nearby sanitarium. Work identified the bodies of the nurse and her patient. Ms. McKenzie's figure was highly distorted, while the effect of the impact was less pronounced on Ms. Voruz. Sanitarium officials say it is against the rules to take patients for walks on the train tracks. In this case, however, there is a large margin of doubt since the only person who witnessed the accident was a firefighter whose first look at the injured man showed the patient running from the nurse. It is very possible that the patient threw himself and ran out of the premises in search of the paramedic. Sanitarium authorities say Ms McKenzie's mind was only slightly affected. Mrs. Voruz came here about three months ago to care for her patient, whose home was in Bingham Canon, Utah. None of them have relatives in this city. McKenzie is survived by a son, L. R. Gibbs, at Bingham Canon. She is 51 years old according to Woodcroft's records which give her year of birth as 1869. The nurse was about the same age. Coroner Luke McLean, who was summoned shortly after the crash, stated last night that an inquest would take place, the timing of which has yet to be determined. The bodies are at McCarthy's. Town Warden July 23, 1920, orders an inquest of the bodies of the women murdered by the train Coroner L. MacLean has ordered an inquest to be held this afternoon at 4 p.m. m., of the bodies of Mrs. Sybil Vorus and Mrs. Millie McKenzie, who on the Rio Grande passenger train near Woodcroft Sanitarium at 7:50 a.m. m. Wednesday night. Ms. Vorus, Ms. McKenzie's nurse, had her head smashed in and Ms. McKenzie's body was horribly mutilated. Those who rushed to the scene say the train left the scene with passengers, many of whom had disembarked and witnessed the gruesome effects, a full ten minutes before the coroner or other officials arrived on the scene. Deputy Delliquadri called several witnesses, including several eyewitnesses to the actual tragedy. The trial will take place in the McCarthy Undertaker halls. Pueblo Chieftain July 24, 1920 Coroner's jury inquires into the death of hospital nurse, Mrs. Sybil Voruz, died July 21, 1920, struck by the Rio Grande No. 3 passenger train near Woodcroft Sanatorium in Pueblo City while trying to save the life of Mrs. Millie McKenzie. A nurse broke the rules in force for more than twenty years by taking her patient to the town where she died. This is, in fact, the verdict of the jury of the coroner who carried out an inquest yesterday afternoon on the body of Mrs. Voruz, who, while desperately trying to prevent her patient from jumping in front of a train, lost her life by Same time. . immediately her ward was killed. The wheels flew over Lady Voruz's head, completely lopping off the top of her head and face. Among the interesting facts revealed by the testimonies were the following: Recently, the head nurse called Ms. Voruz and another nurse who was said to be breaking the rules by taking her patients to the front doors and near the tracks from the train to a room and told them that if they did not understand these rules, they should be aware of this. The gongs, which are located in the corridor of the sanitarium and the corridor of the Stearns Roger facility, were out of order and had not worked for a week before her death. The train crew withdrew from the train at least ten minutes before the coroner or deputy coroner arrived, leaving disfigured pieces of Mrs. McKenzie's body lying along the tracks; The body of Mrs. Voruz was collected and transferred to the hospital by personnel from the institution. The two women were outside the hospital gates and at Woodcroft station, walking between the hospital hedge and the northern railway line between twenty minutes and half an hour before the train arrived. Mrs. McKenzie was seen running onto the tracks in front of the train, and Mrs. Voruz did everything in her power to stop her. Firefighter Conaway, Maynard Clauson, and Mrs. Mary Halcob testified that they saw Mrs. McKenzie running onto the tracks in front of the train and all spoke of the nurse's heroic efforts to save the load. Firefighter Conaway, who was on the same side of the locomotive as the two women on the tracks, had a clear view of the actions described above, but the train was traveling at 25 mph and the women could only be seen 200 feet away due to to the curvature. He yelled at engineer E. A. Scholer, who knew the firefighter had seen something terrible, and immediately pulled over and applied emergency as soon as they were on the scene; it was at that moment that he saw the body of a woman thrown off the road by the pilot. The train consisted of eleven cars, about 70 and about 80 feet long; the train stopped for just over its length. Both the firefighter and the train driver stated that the whistle blew both for the intersection with the hospital and for the bend; other witnesses corroborated this testimony. Other witnesses who were at the scene shortly after the accident and who were certain the train had started before the coroner arrived were Mrs. Agnes Sanders of 24th and Main and Mrs. Beulah Hall of 117 West 24th. These women also spoke of the paramedics taking Ms. Voruz's body to the facility. Ms. Halcob, whose home is in the 2800 block of Grand Avenue, said she watched the train from her back porch and saw two women, one dressed in black and the other in a nurse's outfit, sitting in the station; when she blew the second locomotive whistle, the woman in black looked frightened and ran onto the tracks in front of the train; the scantily clad woman grabbed him and made a great effort to pull the other off the track, but the woman in black seemed much stronger and she dragged the other one, who stayed on the track the whole time. Coroner MacLean asked Dr. Hubert Work, founder of the sanitarium, if he would like to make a statement. The doctor told the jury that Ms. McKenzie, who was brought to the center last March from Utah, had come with a melancholic history, but she had shown no such signs in her actions or words since she was at the local center; ever since she was here, she had always been quiet and caused little to no trouble. Based on her pleas not to be taken near the railroad tracks, Dr. Work thought she was afraid of herself; that is, she was afraid of being forced to do exactly what she did. After reviewing the case, Dr. Work said off the record: "People don't commit suicide because they want to, but because they can't help it." Coroner MacLean stated that Ms. McKenzie's son is expected soon from Utah and will decide whether to pursue an investigation of Ms. McKenzie's body after consulting with him. Chieftain Village July 26, 1920. The remains of Mrs. Sybil Voruz lie at McCarthy Undertake Parlors. Details of her funeral will be announced at a later date.

Vosbaugh, Catalina
Catherine Vosbaugh Pioneer of Yuma November 15, 1907 A woman who posed as a man An extraordinary French woman dies in a Trinidad hospital Trinidad After more than sixty years of posing as a man, Catherine Vosbaugh, a strange French woman, died Monday morning at the San Rafael Retirement Hospital. She had dressed and worked like a man since she left her homeland sixty-three years ago, and the secret of her life had been discovered just two years ago, when she was taken to the hospital from the ranch where she worked as an employee. cook. she that she suffers from pneumonia. This extraordinary woman adopted her guise only to better ensure her employment. Perhaps the strangest act in her life that sounds like an affair was when she "married" a woman in Joplin, Missouri, over forty years ago. It seems that the motive for this act was the desire to save the good name of the woman. Miss Vosbaugh was the daughter of a well-educated Frenchman who gave her a good business education and taught her several modern languages. After her death, she came to the United States alone. She worked in various cities as a bookkeeper and eventually ended up in Joplin, where she was a trusted bank clerk for fifteen years. During all this time, no one suspected that she was not a man. Shortly after her "marriage", the wife had a son who died a few weeks later. The two women later arrived in Trinidad when the place was just a settlement and a gateway to the unexplored southwest. Here he was known by the nickname "Frenchie", and the place quickly became a famous restaurant. For an unknown reason, the couple broke up, but what happened to the "wife" is never known. After discovering the secret of her life, the woman refused to reveal the name of her companion. She left the restaurant business and found employment on the Brown sheep ranch near Trincher, where she worked as a cook and herdsman for several years. Although she only associated with men, she cooked for them, worked in the kitchen and slept in one room, her gender was not disclosed. In July 1905 she suffered a bout of pneumonia and was admitted to the local hospital, where T. J. Forhan discovered her gender. Even after it became known that she was a woman, she refused to wear women's clothing and for the past two years she worked in a hospital in men's clothing. She was known as "Grandpa" in the city. Funds for her burial were raised from public contributions.
