The above mentioned library is WONDERFUL! I visited there last week and everyone was helpful and kind. The best part was when the librarian showed me a link on their website for obituaries. I wish every library would do this!
They indexed the obituaries for their local paper, Pueblo Chieftain, and made that index available to the public via their website. They will send you a copy of the obituary from the link on the index! Free via email!
Here is a link their website.

Well done, Pueblo Library, well done!

WWI Gassing
I ran across a man (not related) who went into the Pacific Colony in the early 1900s. He died in 1922 from epilepsy and psychosis. He was married less than ten years earlier and had a small child when he died. My heart was breaking for him. Because he captured my interest, I did a little more research on him. It turns out he was gassed in WWI. With what is going on in Syria today, this haunts me even more.
