• HAHNEWALD, Albert E. - Obbie HAHNEWALD Commits Suicide. Former EagleCounty Boy Ends Life In Denver--Despondency Over Ill Health and FinancialTroubles Presumed Cause--Shot Self Through Heart.Albert E. HAHNEWALD, familiarly known to nearly everyone in the river valley as"Obbie", son of the late Albert HAHNEWALD and nephew of Paul HAHNEWALDprominent in state Hereford breeding circles, shot and killed himself in his Denverhome Wednesday afternoon of last week.HAHNEWALD had just returned to his home in Denver from his mother's ranch atEdwards the day previous to the tragedy and was alone in the home at the time. Heplaced his business affairs in order, arranged his private papers in a neat pile, wentinto the kitchen, turned on the gas and then shot himself through the heart. The gunused was a powerful automatic pistol which HAHNEWALD had taken from aGerman prisoner while he was serving with the American army in Europe duringthe world war.Mrs. HAHNEWALD left home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to visit with friends,leaving her husband in apparent good spirits. She returned home about 8 o'clock inthe evening to find the body of her husband lying cold in death in the kitchen.HAHNEWALD and his family had been spending most of the time recently on hismother's ranch at Edwards. A few days before committing the horrible deed whichresulted in his death, Obbie had suffered a severe mental attack while at the ranch,which caused his family considerable concern, and he and his wife had gone to theirDenver home, he agreeing to submit to a surgical operation within a few days. Sincehis father's death a few years ago, and the removal of the family to Denver, Obbiehad invested in a bus line out of Denver in which venture he had suffered severefinancial loss. Recently he had been employed as a bus driver for Yelloway, Inc.,piloting a bus between Denver and Kansas City. But he gave up that position lastspring. The financial loss attending his business investments, coupled with poorhealth conditions is undoubtedly the cause for his action.HAHNEWALD spent his boyhood and young manhood days at Leadville and inEagle county. He was a veteran of the world war, serving with the Americanexpeditionary forces in France. He is survived by his wife, two children, Maxine, 8,and Albert, 7, and his mother. Both children were with their grandmother at theranch at the time of their father's death.[20 Aug. 1926, Eagle Valley Enterprise, p1]• HAHNEWALD, Paul - Word was received Saturday morning, November 6, byMartin EICHLER of Edwards of the death of his uncle, Paul HAHNEWALD inDenver.Mr. HAHNEWALD spent some weeks the latter part of the summer with CharleyHEMBERGER at the ranch on Cooley mesa. Three or four weeks ago he went tothe home of his brother, Otto HAHNEWALD, county commissioner of Garfield

county, in Rifle for a visit. He returned to Denver recently and passed away at 7:30o'clock Saturday morning.Mr. HAHNEWALD came to Aspen as a raw, immigrant boy from Switzerland inthe early days of that camp, and joined with his brothers, here ahead of him, in thebakery business at that place and in Leadville. He made a fortune from theLeadville mines, and later lost it in the Hereford cattle breeding business at Eagle.His last few years had been spent in tying to repair his lost fortunes, but the "luck"which he characterized as being responsible for past successes had failed him andnothing would turn out right for him anymore.Paul HAHNEWALD was greatly beloved by many people and his death is regretted.He was not and old man, in his early sixties, but disappointment at the failure ofbusiness ventures hastened his end. Burial took place in Denver Tuesday.

SIBERTS, company surgeon, reported the suicide of one ofthe Japanese employed by the Phillips Construction Company & O'Gara, at CampNo. 2, in Eagle River canyon.The men, a party of Japs, had just finished their dinner and were filing out of thedining room when a shot startled them. On turning it was learned that one of theirnumber had shot himself.No one saw the tragedy. The wound was made by a 38 caliber double action revolverand death was instantaneous. The bullet entered at the forehead and emerged at theback of the head.The man, whose name was N. HANAWA, was about 26 or 27 years of age. He hadno relatives in the camp or in the country so far as known. He was single and his

countrymen are unable to explain his deed of self destruction. Dr. SIBERTS and theinterpreter of the Japs made a thorough search of the man's belongings and foundnothing that would indicate the cause of the rash act.The tragedy was reported to Coroner GILPIN who investigated and deemed aninquest unnecessary.(4 April 1907, Eagle County Blade, p.8)The Funeral of the Jap, N. HANAWA, who killed himself at camp No. 2, in thecanyon last week, was held on Friday. A large party of the deceased's countrymenattended as well as a number of the citizens of the town. Rev. L. D. JARRARD, ofMinturn, conducted the services and the interment was at Greenwood cemetery.There is some doubt as to whether the shot was inflicted by accident or intentional,all the circumstances pointing more to the latter theory except that there appears tohave been no motive.(11 April 1907, Eagle County Blade, p.1)• HANCOCK, George W. - George W.

(Eagle Valley Enterprise, Aug 19, 1921, p.1)• HANSON, Peter - Last Sunday, Peter HANSON, a well known miner of Gilman,was drowned in Bolt's Lake, between Gilman and Minturn. The unfortunate manwas accompanied by Joseph SMITHERUM, who had a narrow escape from asimilar fate, and from whom the following particulars are learned.Mr. HANSON had been on the lake some time in a boat fishing, while Mr.SMITHERUM was fishing from the shore. HANSON rowed in and invitedSMITHERUM to go out with him, to which the latter assented. The two men wereseated side by side in the boat with Mr. SMITHERUM's dog standing behind them.Without warning the end of the boat behind the occupants sank and water rushed inunder their feet, and at the same time both men were thrown out of the boatbackward into the water. Mr. SMITHERUM succeeded in grasping one side of thehalf filled boat and seeing HANSON also in the water and apparently unable to helphimself, he called for help. Mr. SMITHERUM cannot swim and succeeded only byan heroic effort in preventing himself from drowning.Sid BOLT was at the house about 100 yards away and rushed to the scene andplunged in. He reached Mr. SMITHERUM first and succeeded in rescuing him. Mr.SMITHERUM says he is convinced he never could have gotten out unaided.Meanwhile Mr. Hanson seemed to be struggling in the water with his head justbelow the surface, and drowned before Mr. BOLT could return to his aid.The boat was then secured and the body recovered. All available methods ofresuscitation were applied without avail. At the point of the accident the lake is notover 150 feet wide but is about ten feet deep. The boat is a flat bottom one, aboutfour feet wide and ten or twelve long, and Mr. SMITHERUM is unable to accountfor the accident.Undertaker FARNUM was called and took charge of the remains. Telegrams weresent to points where deceased was thought to have friends, but no reply from any ofthem has been received. The funeral will occur today. Deceased was a single man,about 34 years of age, and was born in Ohio.(7 September 1899 Eagle County Blade,p. 3)• HARNITZ, Frank - A DEAF AND DUMB MAN RUN DOWN IN THE YARDS ATMINTURN - A sad accident occurred in the railroad yards at Minturn on Sunday.A deaf and dumb man, whose name it was afterward learned was Frank HARNITZ,

He was deaf and dumb and had been soliciting alms both atRed Cliff and at Minturn. In his pocket was found a note book in which he was inthe habit of writing his requests for aid and his conversations with various people.His identity was disclosed by his name and description being written on the fly leafof a small bible which he carried in his pocket.Coroner A.F.

He had a very active life the most of theyears he lived here and was identified in a number of mining enterprises at differenttimes.He was born in Germany and his early manhood was spent on the ocean as aseaman. Possessed of an adventurous nature he visited most of the south and centralAmerican countries. _________ landing at New Orleans in ____________ with afriend not long before his death, he stated that he was not satisfied with he conditionof any of the countries he visited until he struck the United States, but he soondecided that this was the land he had been looking for.While the traditions of his native land were always dear to him and he loved to talkof his youth at home, he was a loyal American citizen. Last spring , before leavingfor Nebraska he used to come into this office and talk to the writer for several hoursat a stretch. The European was would occupy a great deal of his attention, but everyonce in a while he would break out in a tirade on conditions in Mexico and deplorewhat he characterized as the cowardice of President WILSON, and wish for his

younger days again, so that he might shoulder a gun and help clean up the Greasers.But never once did he ever hint that he cared to fight for the Kaiser, the land of hisadoption was first and last Hans HARDERS.The sporting element ran high in his blood, and it was a long shot in_____ on whichhe would not take a chance. The writer believes that he was one of the losers he everknew, and it was this characteristic which made of him a good prospector. Hishealth had been failing for a number of years, however, and he had not been activein business for a long time. As years advanced, the memories of younger days clungto him and he could not realize that conditions and times were changing for thereason it was hard on him to do business with others and as a consequence hismining property in this district has been idle most of the time for many years. Onlyrecently has he agreed to a lease on it.He was a member of the Odd Fellows of the place in the early days and when hischarter was transferred and consolidated to the lodge at Gypsum, he continued tocarry his membership and was in good standing at the time of his death.Mr. HARDERS leaves many friends here who regret his death. (15 Dec. 1915, EagleValley Enterprise, p.1)• HARPER, Dave - In the death of David HARPER in Eagle last Friday eveningMarch 24, passed one of the most colorful figures of the pioneer days of westernColorado and Eagle County.Born in England February 28, 1855, he lost his parents when yet a child, and butlittle is known of his younger life. He migrated to Canada when 21 years of age andtwo years later to the United States. He first landed in Denver in 1878, and the nextyear found him a tender of stage stock at the old stage station at Hartzel in SouthPark. This first employment in this country decided the course of his life. For fromthat time we find him in the mining camps, conducting ore hauling outfits, ordriving jack trains. He followed mining in Leadville a short while and when the bigteaming outfits were plying between Leadville and Aspen in 1880, we find himassociated with Mr. and Mrs. AUGHTER running a road house on top ofIndependence Pass. Here the freighters made their half way stop between the twocamps and the business prospered. He followed all the mining boom camps of thosedays, and was among the first to rush to Kokomo in 1882, when that camp was onthe boom. Here he met and married Miss Nettie ASHLOCK, the mother of his onlysurviving son, Iman David, now living in Eagle, and who was born in Aspen in 1885.He packed ore and hauled freight between Aspen and Leadville after leavingKokomo, and in 1885 we find him at the home of his father-in-law, JohnASLCOCK, on the Piney in Eagle county, where his wife died.He ran a jack train from the mines in Aspen for a number of years following hiswife's death, until the panic of 1893 caused the closing of the mines. From that timeon he was in Eagle county most of the time, mining at Fulford, driving a stage line

from Fulford to Eagle, and in 1898 was again married to Mrs. Elizabeth NOLES. Itwas about this time that he engaged as a stage driver for H. W. WHIPPLE betweenWolcott and Steamboat Springs. The Moffat railroad had not yet been built and thefreight and state business between these two points was immense for years. It waswhile driving this route that Dave HARPER formed an acquaintance with travelingsalesmen, as well as prominent personages that was sate wide. Of a strongpersonality, he was remembered by his passengers long after they had made a stagetrip with Dave as a driver. When the stage line was discontinued with the advent ofthe railroad to Northwestern Colorado, he owned the stage line between Wolcottand State Bridge for a time, was a saloon keeper in Wolcott and Eagle from 1910until prohibition drove him out of business. He was again married in 1910, this timeto Mrs. Sarah KILFORD, she passing away in 1916. Some years later he wasmarried to Mrs. Daisy QUINLAN, and they made their home in Eagle until herdeath a few years ago.When C. F. LLOYD of Chicago, now co-owner of the Red Mountain ranch, firstcame to this country and located at Fool's Peak, he found ready at his hand just theright man to take charge of his big jack train which plied constantly between Eagleand Skyling during the summer months, in Dave HARPER. HARPER wasemployed by Mr. LLOYED for years. An accident at the ranch in which Mr.HARPER injured a foot resulted in the amputation of a leg, and this loss was keenlyfelt by him. His first reaction to the loss was the sadly spoken remark, "I am not thechampion walker of the world now, am I?" and this brings to mind the fact thatDave was one of the champion pedestrians of the country in his time. As a youngman he gained the title of champion walker of Canada. He also claimed that hecould out walk WESTON, the great pedestrian, and they were matched for a contestat one time, but the contest never came off for some reason.Dave HARPER lived in the most exciting period of the settlement of this countryand he loved to talk of those times in his declining years. He had a big part in thecountry's settlement and his passing takes one of the most colorful figures in thatepochal period of Colorado.Funeral services were held from the Methodist church, in Eagle Sunday afternoonwith Rev. C. E. COPLEY reading the service. the remains were laid to rest in ValleyView cemetery, by Funeral Director Paul ANDRE, a goodly number of his oldfriends attending and assisting in laying the body of the old pioneer to its lastearthly resting place. He is survived by his son, Iman, four step children, six grandchildren, one great grand child, and eleven step-grand children.• HARPER, Sarah - Mrs. Sarah Gans HARPER of Wolcott died from pneumonia atthe Hadley Hospital at 4 a. m the morning of the 15th, having been in the hospitalbarely two days.Mrs HARPER came to America from her native city of Dublin, Ireland, at the ageof fifteen and a few years later was married to Robert JONES of Chicago, a

prominent railroad conductor, the father of her two daughters, now residents ofGlobe and Miami, Arizona respectively.She was for thirty years a resident of Eagle county and was married to DaveHARPER at the WHITE ranch in February 1907.Mrs. HARPER was a woman of education, of charitable and kindly disposition andnumbered her friends among her acquaintances.The funeral will be conducted at the grave, 2 p.m. Saturday, by Mr. JOHNSON,rector of the St. Johns Episcopal church. Glenwood Springs. Mrs. HARPER was anEpiscopalian and before her death expressed a desire to be buried in the rites of thatchurch.[15 Sept. 1916, Western Slope Enterprise, p8]• HARRIS, Charles - On Sunday, March 1s, Charles Harris, of Gypsum, went theway of all flesh.

Following the church services a long cortege of sorrowing relatives andfriends wended their sad way to the cemetery, where the beautiful burial service ofthe Rebekah lodge took place and the earthly remains of Mrs. HARRIS wereconsigned to Mother Earth.In the passing of this truly noble and beautiful character, the husband has lost adevoted wife, the sons a loving and affectionate mother, and the public a helpful andprogressive citizen. Ever loyal to her own, her thoughts turned first to them, butalways could a moment be fond in which she strove to share the joys and sorrows ofher friends.My Jesus, as Thou wilt,Oh may Thy way be mine,Into Thy hand of loveI would my ____ resign.Through sorrow or through joyConduct me as Thine own,And help me still to say,My Lord, Thy will be done.

It was learned however that Mrs. Laura LUNDY, of Richmond,Indiana, is a sister and a telegram announcing the death was sent to the address. Itis believed he has other relatives in Indiana.Hart had been sick but a day or two but none of the time confined to his bed. Evenan hour before his death, although in a precarious condition, he was sitting at atable, it appearing to add to his distress when he reclined.(2 May 1907, EagleCounty Blade, p.1)• HART, J. T. - Hon. J. T. HART died last Thursday night at Denver, after alingering illness. For some years Mr. HART had not been in rugged health, havingbeen afflicted with both kidney and throat trouble, and for several weeks the endhad been looked for. Members of the family, with the exception of the oldest son,James, were at his bedside at the time of his death.Mr. HART was born at Little Orleans, Maryland, in 1837, and was hence 66 yearsof age. Previous to coming to Eagle county he resided at Council Bluffs, Iowa,engaging in insurance and other lines of business there for a number of years.About 1888, as a member of the company, he came to Red Cliff and assumed chargeof the Percy Chester group of miens as manage, a position which he retained at thetime of his death.

In the passing away of Mr. HART, Eagle county has lost one of its most prominentcitizens. He was progressive and public spirited to a marked degree, and noenterprise for the general advancement of the community was without his support.In anything under taken by him, Mr. HART was an active and tireless worker.Being interested in the politics of the county, this characteristic undoubtedly createdsome political enemies. Many of his friends, however, who differed politically,always found the deceased tolerant toward them. He was especially noted for hisgenerous hospitality, his devotion to his family and his many admirable socialqualities. When present, Mr. HART, notwithstanding his years, was always the lifeof a social gathering, and one of his greatest pleasures was entertaining his friendsat his home.Mr. HART will be greatly missed in this community, and it is with sincere regretthat THE BLADE chronicles his demise.(30 July 1903, Eagle County Blade, p.1)• HART, Richard - Dick HART, One of Party Returning From Dance at Leadville,the Victim.

MarionJ. HENRY, Rio Grande locomotive engineer, ranch man and sheriff of the countyfor eight years passed away in a Madison hospital after only a few hours illness.Born in Milford, Ind., January 25, 1864, the deceased was past 77 years of age at thetime of his death. Early in life he identified himself with railroad work, being only

eighteen years old when he went to work for the Santa Fe railroad in Marceline,Mo., in 1882. In 1891, he came to Colorado and went to work as a fireman for theDenver and Rio Grande railroad, working between Salida and Minturn. He bacamea locomotive engineer on that road in 1898, and continued in that service until 1908,when he was granted d a leave of absence.Mr. HENRY was prominent in Republican party politics in ed right then. ArtKELLY was appointed by Marion as by successor.I do not know how long Marion served after I left. Frank FARNUM was electedwith other county officers of the state, for a two year term. while serving this term aconstitutional amendment was adopted in Colorado changing the election laws, sothat state and local elections fell on the same date, and extending the terms of all twoyears officers one year, making their terms fun even with the state officers. FrankFARNUM was one of these and, hence, served three years and was not a candidatefor re-election, although I understand that later and after I had left the state he didserve four successive terms as sheriff.You can verify many dates and secure authentic history of the county by consultingthe records of the sheriff's office, if such are preserved and available for reference.Almost all of the records during my encumbrance as under sheriff were made byme. I do not know whether the system has been changed or not, but at that time theoffice contained four dockets large record books. The civil docket, the criminaldocket, the execution docket, and the general docket. That latter being acompilation of all official business. At that time the office was a fee office, and henceit was important that accurate and detailed record's be kept. My hand write shouldbe found to a large extent from, I believe, along in July, 1900 (if not found alongthere try 1899 or 1901), until March, 1908.Marion HENRY was a good man and an honest one, and so far as I am concernedwe remained friends, although we never corresponded. This is not strange, as hewrote few personal letters. His early education was much neglected - he had to workand help support a widowed mother and younger members of the family.I often see the name MULNIX in your paper. I was under sheriff at the time a manof the name was killed in Jim SPENCER's blacksmith shop at Wolcott, by WidHERWICK, son of Si HERWICK, over a money dispute. As under sheriff I wasWid's jailer. I presume the MULNIX's mentioned are this man's descendants, aidwonder what became of Wid HERWICK. Through a fluke in the charge and formsof verdict given the jury by Judge Charles CAVENDER, Wid got only thirty days injail as a penalty of conviction, instead of eight years in the pen as the jury thoughthe would get. Quite a story I could tell here as well as many others of some of thosestirring times. (There is no connection between the families of the man you mentionand that of Al MULNIX, head of the family by that name now living in Eaglecounty. As to what became of Wid HERWICK, I have been unable to learn.- Ed).

Mr.HERWICK was not favorable to this suggestion declaring that he would soon be allright."When the car was stopped at the gas pump the young folks looked around, and tofind their father crumpled down in the seat--dead. Evidently death, which was dueto cerebral hemorrhage, had been instantaneous, and painless.Josiah L. HERWICK was 79 years old last October.

This was his work until he located on Lake creek tofollow his life dream of a gold miner. From early spring until late fall he lived onthis place, following the gold trails. The only success he attained was the satisfactionand pleasure he gained by living in God's hills.He was ever proud of Colorado's snowy peaks, her gold and her columbines. Thispride inspired his many poems, inscribed on whatever was handy to his pen. He wasan ardent reader, and always wanted to found a public library for Eagle. Bookswere his companions as he lived his solitary life of prospecting.In his declining hears he lived with his brother, Addison. To the end, he remainedthe son of a proud line of gentlemen, and he never wavered from the Quaker belief,faith and culture.He requested a Masonic burial, an order of which he was a proud member for manyyears. As he expressed in his own writing, he still hopes to take his place in thepromised land:"I have grown old and feebleAnd my limbs refuse to stand;

I have come down from the mountainsto look for a better land.I am done with my shovel and pan;They fall from my nerveless hand.I will dig in the streets for goldWhen I reach the other land.He is survived by his daughter, Emily LOTT, his brother Addison HOCKETT, anda sister, Myrtie GANT.Services were held in gypsum for the deceased last Saturday afternoon, underauspices of Castle Peak Lodge No. 122, A.F.& A.M., and under direction of FuneralDirector Paul ANDRE.• HODGKIN, Veronica Anna - Veronica Anna HODGKIN of Sweetwater diedMonday, March 21 at her home following a lengthy illness.

HYRUP and Walter PERRINE Lose Their LivesProbably at no time in the history of Basalt, has a mantle of doom overspread thetown so suddenly, and completely, as that of yesterday morning about 8 o'clock,

when a message was received from Cardiff containing the sad and startlingintelligence, that Engineer HYRUP and Fireman PERRINE had been killed by arunaway train on the coal branch.The facts as near as can be learned are as follows:A slight wreck on the coal branch Thursday detained the regular crew about fifteenhours, and an extra relief crew was ordered from Basalt, composed of Engineer J. P.HYRUB, Fireman PERRINE, Conductor JOHNSON and Brackeman TIDINGSand DAVIS. The crew left here at 10:10 p.m. Thursday and reached Spring Gulchwithout accident.It was about 4:45 when they had made up the train ready for the return trip, and itwas not until soon after passing Sunshine switch, that Conductor JOHNSONrealized they were going too fast, and at almost the same instant Engineer HYRUPwhistled for brakes. The request was promptly obeyed conductor and brakemendoing heroic work at the brakes, vainly trying to check the train, which by this timewas rushing down the hill at a terrific rate of speed. The awful moments ofexpectancy beggar description. To jump from the flying train into the jagged rocksmeant certain death, and to stay with the train seemed clinging to only a possiblechance for life. But the suspense was soon over, at 5:45 a.m., the crash came andEngine 32 and 17 cars were a mass of kindling wood.Engineer HYRUPS lifeless form was picked up about 50 feet from his engine, andthat of Fireman PERRINE close beside the engine. Brakeman TIDINGS was thrownface down upon the track between the engine and the cars and DAVIS was pinionedamong the debris with a badly broken leg.Conductor JOHNSON is utterly unable to account for the awful accident. Everyhand brake was set, the engine was in back motion and the only reason he canpossibly give, is , that the track was extremely frosty, the engineer being compelledto use all the sand he had on the up trip.The bodies of Engineer HYRUP and Fireman PERRIEN were taken to theundertaking rooms of L. SCHWARTZ at Glenwood Springs.The remains of J. P. HYRUP was brought up on No. 8 yesterday, that of FiremanPERRINE shipped to his old home at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.J. P. HYRUP was born February 2, 1857 in Germany.In 1881 he arrived in Montana and lived there until his arrival in Basalt in 1891,about 10 years ago. In his death Basalt loses one of her foremost citizens.Always public spirited, energetic, kind, courteous and obliging, the very soul ofhonor, his acquaintances were his friends.

In his death his estimable wife loses a true and loving husband and the children thefondest and best of fathers.Funeral services will be held from the family residence at 2 p.m. Monday Nov.27.(25 Nov 1899, The Basalt Journal, p.1)
