COLORED YOUTH KILLED IN SANTA FE RAILROAD YARDS
Raymond Young, 16 Years Old, Crushed in Attempt to Board Freight
Raymond Young, colored, aged 16 years, was struck and almost
instantly killed yesterday afternoon by a freight train, which he had attempted
to board in the Santa Fe yards south of town. The accident occurred shortly
after 3:30 p.m., and the body was found a few moments later.
Young is the son W.H. Young, 329 East Fountain street, head
waiter on a D. & R.G. dining car between Denver and Salt lake City. He was
notified of the accident at Grand Junction last night.
There will be no inquest, according to Coroner ?.T. Boyle(?)
It is thought that the colored boy was following his usual practice of catching
a ride from the brickyards, where he occasionally worked, to his home near the
railroad. His mother often warned him against this, she old the coroner. His
foot, it is believed, caught in a frog near the switch when he tried to board
the train.
Young is survived by his mother and father, a brother living
in Alamosa, and two sisters, residents of Kansas City and Denver, respectively.
Funeral arrangements have not been made.

Freeze To Death In August
Colorado Springs, Colo.-W.A. Skinner and wife of
Dallas, Tex., were frozen to death near the summit of Pike's Peak. Their bodies,
almost covered with snow, were found side by side by a boy walking down the
peak. A pathetic feature of the deaths was the finding of a letter in Skinner's
pocket, dated Dallas, August 17, from J.H. Choice, in which these words
occurred: "I hope you are having the time of your life in Colorado. I am sending
you an overcoat, as per your request. I hope you don't freeze to death on Pike's
Peak." Mr. Skinner was clothed in light summer trousers, light underwear
and low shoes. He wore no vest. His wife was clothed in a thin shirtwaist, a
small shawl, a light skirt and thin underwear.

OBITUARY-ROBERT W. GREENE
It becomes our sad duty to record the death of Mr. Robert W. Greene, a
well known and universally respected young man who died yesterday morning
at 11:10 at the Colorado Springs hotel after a protracted illness from typhoid
fever.
Mr. Greene was born in Jackson parish, Louisiana, in 1856, attended
college in Tennesse and Kentucky and was appointed to West Point in 1873 where,
after two years study and promotion, was honorably discharged on account of
dyspesia, which he had contracted while there. He came west and with his
brother, the Hon. C.J. Greene, of the Louisiana legislature, and Mr. John H.
Linck, engaged in the sheep business in this county. A few weeks ago he came to
town and succumbed to that relentless destroyer, typhoid fever, and
notwithstanding the very best medical attention, he slowly failed. His brothers
were telegraphed for, and came at once from Louisiana and Leadville. These
devoted brothers watched and nursed him until the last.
He lacked only a few weeks of being twenty four years of age. A
southerner born and bred he was ever known to be a gentleman of perfect
integrity and genuine hospitality, and we offer our sincerest condolences to his
afflicted family. His remains will be interred at 10:30 this morning in
Evergreen cemetery.

OBITUARY-W.H. KENNEY
The death of Mr. W.H. Kenney will be a great shock to the large circle of
friends which he has made as a restaurateur. Mr. Kenney was taken ill last
Saturday and yesterday, the 19th of April, 1881, he passed beyond that bourne
from which no traveller returns. The disease of which Mr. Kenney died was
typhoid pneumonia. Last Saturday he was among the living today he will be buried
in Evergreen cemetery. Mr. Kenney was known to almost every citizen of Colorado
Springs. He was the proprietor of the restaurant on Pike's Peak avenue which has
long been associated with his name. We know that he was a public spirited
citizen and that his hand was open always to the demands of those who had a
right to call upon him. He was a soldier of the union. Born in Wisconsin, when
the war broke out he joined and 2nd Wisconsin regiment and won a recognition as
a brave and patriotic man.
Today he will be buried and his funeral services will be conducted at the
Baptist church at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Although the deceased was not far
enough advanced in Masonry to receive the rites of a Masonic funeral yet his
friends in the order are invited to attend the last sad obsequies today.

DIES AS HE IS BEING RUSHED TO THIS CITY
Robert Webb Loses in Race Against Death-Was Injured While Riding Horse.
Death won in a race against a team of Colorado bronchos yesterday, and
Robert Webb, 14 years old, died as the ponies, hitched to a light wagon, raced
down the mountain trail from Clyde, 20 miles back in the hills from Colorado
Springs.
The boy, injured by a plunging cowpony three days ago, was being hurried
to the city so that he could be given better medical attention than his parents
were able to secure for him at their ranch a few miles from the mountain town.
And so, when Alfred Webb saw that his son had been unable to stand the trip, the
panting team was pulled down and the remainder of the journey was made at a
slower pace, for death was also one of the passengers. The funeral will be held
this afternoon from the undertaking rooms of Fairleys and Law.
Young Webb received his fatal injurys when he was riding about his
father's ranch. The horse became unmanageable and the lad was thrown against the
saddle-horn, the metal piece striking him in the side. Death, the physicians
say, was caused by peritonitis.

Dorr, John Alfred
13 Aug 1910
Gazette-Telegraph, Colorado Springs, Colorado
John Alfred Dorr, son of Mark L. and Nellie C. Dorr, departed this life on
August 7, 1916. He was born in Colorado Springs on July 30, 1895, and was thus
21 years of age on his last birthday. He was educated in the public schools of
Colorado Springs, and after passing thru the grades took a course in business
college, in which he received high rank. Entering commercial life, he became
interested in the automobile business, in which he became eminently successful,
and was advancing rapidly in this particular vocation up to the time of his
death. In January, 1915, John Alfred Dorr married Miss Nancy Hammond. One child
was born to them, a daughter, Mildred. Throughout his whole life, John Door was
an earnest, consistent Christian, both as boy and man. He was kindly and
generous in business and social life, and always absolutely fair and upright in
his dealings with others. his business associates speak of him in the highest
terms, and gladly pay tribute to his uprightness, fairness and honor. His
untimely departure from this life is sincerely regretted by hosts of friends in
this city and county where he had become so well and favorable known, and they
share with the immediate family in expressing their sorrow in this sad hour.

to Georgetown, Colo., when a small boy; grew to manhood there, and was married
to Miss Mary Brigham of that place; later they moved to Cripple Creek, and he
was employed in the mines and on the railroad there for several years; then
moved to Denver; was breakeman on the Rio Grande railroad for five years. He
also lived in Colorado City later, and was a trusted employee of the Colorado
Midland railroad, as brakeman. Mr. Hedges traveled extensively, finally coming
back to Colorado City, on year ago, and, up to a week prior to his death, was
employed at the Standard mill. He had a divorced wife and one son and one

living in Denver; one sister in San Francisco, Cal., and one sister in Eureka,
Utah., and an uncle, L. A. eges, and cousin, Mrs. Hattie L. Trout, of 510 South

rash act, but have only pity for him, knowing that for many years he had faced
adversities and sorrows and trouble, and took his life to end it all. let us
hope that he is at rest, and happy with the loved ones who have gone before to
the brighter world. We wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to our
kind neighbors and friends for their sympathy and assistance in our bereavement,
and also for the floral offerings. Mrs. Anna Hedges Morrell, Glen Hedges, Lester
