THE 3,300 OCCUPANTS OF GRAVES
AT EVERGREEN.
Teiias Jack’s Strange Epitaph-The
Komestako Monument -Vivian’s Un
honorwd Resting Place—Decoration
Day Enlarged Upon-The Long Rec
ord of Mining Fatalities—The Perils
of Sleeping Off a Drunk in the Open
Air.
A Leadville Col., letter to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat says: The ltio Grande
train climbs a long hill and steams into
Leadville ujion a ridge. To the east of the
track is spread out the city of the living.
On the slope to the west is the city of the
dead. leadville started a graveyard early
and patronized it well. For a time the head
boards were planted almost as rapidly on one
side of the hill us tho claim-stakes wero
driven on the other. There are lid,ooo reel
less money-seekers up here among the clouds
and tho snow drifts of mid July. There nre
3,300 graves in the gravel,among tho bright
given pines.
The mortality of the early history of this
10-year-old city was frightful. Men lay
down at night to sleep off a drunk and never
awoke. Nature plays queor freaks with
vital organs at an altitude of 10,035 feet.
Health was neglected in the wild mad rush
for carbonates. Men ato when they cmdd
get time, slept uny where, and never refused
an invitation to drink. Under such condi
tions Leadville acquired the name of ‘‘The
Pneumonia City,” and graves were in great
demand.
More people between the ago of 30 and 35
arc 1 buried hero than in any other cemetery
in tho world, that is in proportion to the
whole number, and such a strange assort
ment. of histories the sod nowhere else
covers. In what other burial place can tho
visitor stand and moralize beside the grave
of a man who was given twenty hours by
the Vigilance Committee to leave town
and who died of pneumonia before tho time
was up?
THE HOME3TAKE.
Perhaps the most conspicuous object at
Evergreen is the Homcstake Monument. The
inscription tells tho whols story so far as it
is known. It is simply this:
MiCMOIUAL EIIECTED BY
CITIZENS OF LEADVILLE
To the Victims of a Suowslide
AT IIOMESTAKE MINE
February, 1885.
And on the sido panels are the names of
the ten mon whose bodies were dug out of
the snow. They wore living in a cabin on
tho mountain side, near the mine. One
morning Leadville looked toward the Home
stake, rubbed her eyes, and looked again.
There was no cabin in sight—nothing but a
groat mass of snow and ice, which hod
slipped down and buried all. Tho monu
ment stands iu the centre of a little plot of
sacred soil, dowu upon which the kneeling,
anguish-stricken woman looks and forever
prays.
Nature bos provided a beautiful grove of
young pines, but tins is all she has done for
Evergreen Cemetery. The soil is the coars
est gravel. Soil is brought from the banks
of tho Arkansas, miles away. Two Mis
sourians, the Bulls, father and son, from
near Hannibal, have charge of the ceme
tery, and the}’ have done much to beautify
the grounds.
THE LITTLE ONES.
The saddest of the peculiar features in
which Evergreen abounds are the little clus
ters of short graves. “When dpath gets
into a family here,” said a Leadville man,
speaking of the mortality, “you have no
idea how it wall clean them all out.” As an
illustration of this the children of Mrs. Pitts
were referred to. This unfortunate woman
lost a child every Wednesday and buried one
every Thursday until her house was empty,
the Breene family—mother and three chil
dren—wero carried off in one winter. Two
of the Connors children came at one trip of
the hearse, and near by ure buried all the
Crilleys but the wife and mother. The Mc-
Kennas have four little graves in Evergreen
and perhaps twenty families have as many
as three children here. The Praters —mother
and four children—lie in tho Odd-Fellows’
lot. There are lots in the free ground and
the potter’s field. In the free ground
only the graves are paid for, and the
squares—live graves deep if grown persons
and six deep if children—are filled ns tho
bodies come, without regard to past associa
tions. Tljpre the dead lie iu methodically
arrangod rows.
MEETINGS ON RESURRECTION MORN.
When tho last trump blows what strange
ly assorted groups will arise from those
solid squares of the Leadville Cemetery!
Here, tor instance, Charles C. Windoai, who
took morphine at the Tabor Grand Hotel;
Richard Driver, who was killed in tho
Robert E. Lee mine: Lizzie Harmon, the
actress, and Charles Stewart, hung by tho
Vigilauoo Committee, will find themselves
near enough together to shake hands. A
little way off will lie Frank Gilbert and
Merrick Rosencranz, who were hung by
process of law. Rosencranz shot his partner
because they wero both smitten with tho
charms of one frail maiden, and Gilbert
shot his paitner because he was not divid
ing fair on the charcoal they were making
and selling. “Pay me, or you go East in a
box,” Gilbert said, and the result was boxes
for two.
Very near tho scaffold pair are Charles
Linnen, “a hold-up,” shot while trying to
roh somebody; an unknown, who had starteii
to Leadville in a freight-car and was found
frozen stiff; Buchanan, who dropped dead
in the street: John Riotluniller, who shot
himself; John Kramer, whose bones were
found out on the boulevard when the spring
run melted the snow a year ago; and Cyrus
-dmich, hung last year for the murder of
‘‘'mm Baldwin. The grave of Baldwin is
not far off, and the neat headstono
erected by Eastern relatives boars almost
the only bit of poetry in the Evergreen
Cemetery:
Rear wife and children, I mint leave you,
I wave, yes. leave you all alone.
Hut my blessed Savior calls me,
Calls me to a Heavenly home.
Loodville sentiment does not run to rhyme.
It provides Christian burial, sometimes a
piece of marble, but oftonor the wooden
hoiulbourd and the briefest possible inscrip
tion. Probably four-tilths of tlie graves
show only the name of the occupant,
i hcro is neither date of birth nor date of
deutli.
C. VIVIAN.
There is one grave to which theatrical
ponpic-aro frequent visitonrs, and they go
“" ay telling the sexon that in the near
future something will be done by the pro
fe-:siou in tiio way of providing u more suit
aide place for the occu|>uut. This particular
grave is in one of thosuuares of froe ground,
•m I on the little weather-benteu headboard
there cun lie distinguished with much dilll
culty the name: “C. Vivian.” In the
early times of Leodvillo Charley Vivian
"’as the idol of the miners. lie had a salury
01 W5O a week and “gave It all away.” Ho
used to sing •• Ten Thousand Mil** Away,”
"ith such pathos the boys could never
get enough. Then, when he went off the
“bige after the last encore, lie would suy,
feelingly: “If you had learned that
u-s I learned ft you could sing it as I
sing it.”
\ ivinn was an Rnglisliman, with a strong
home love. His wife was a well-bred, culti
vated woman, the daughter of a Church of
Ruglund clergyman in London.
Hut there was another song of Vivian's
over which Iwadvillo wont wilder still. It
"'as a song which voiced the reckless,
late-teinptiiig spirit of the new community,
wvlan had become tbo personification
°f ! hat spirit, and the song was part of him-
Ml#
TO THE NEXT WHO DIES.
“Hare's a health to the next who dim.”
* r ®J tlie iWraln, und the application wus lit
to Lvadville, as it had been many years be-
fo-e to the Eng'ishmen in India when the
plague was abroad and death waited at the
door while the revelry went on within.
*uby, hurrah for the uext who dies,”sang
lvian, and his hearers shouted their in
dorsement of the sentiment. Later on Viv
ians corpse was by chance the one with
whirh tiie Leadville Undertaking Com
a:iy’s brand new hearse made its initial trip
over the hill. On the way out the band
plu ved “Ten Thousand Miles Away,” but
when the cobble-stones were rattling down
upon tho coffin tho musicians burst with
“Here’s health to the next who dies.” And
ad this was as V iviun had expressed a desire
that it should be.
1 beatrieal people hero say that Vivian
had more than any other one man to do with
the founding of the Order of Elks in this
country. If tlnsisso it wouldbe a neat thing
for t ',ie brethren to replace the weather
worn pine board with a column of marble,
v isiting actors have repeatedly said it
should bo attended to, but it never has
been.
TEXAS JACK.
The most striking monument of all is that
which marks the resting-place of Texas
Jack, as he was 1 jet ter known than by his
name of J. B. Onbohundro. Texas Jack
entered the show business about the same
time that Buffalo Bill, did and he was only
second to Cody in promise. He had married
a famous ballet dancer, and was filling an
engagement here when pneumonia carried
him off. His grave is in a well-cared-for
lot, and is marked by a slab bearing thejiu
scriptiou:
Snore i to the Memory of
TEXAS JACK.
(.1. B. OMOHCNDRO).
Died June 38 isso.
Bt>. l’noumonia.
The inscription occupies but a small place
on the slab, w’hich is fairly covered with
artistic work. First there is a good repre
sentation of a cartridge belt, with pistols
crossed and bowieknifo sheathed. Below is
sketched the trusty Winchester, ami then
the head of Texas Jack’s favorite horse, Yel
low Chief.
On the reverse of the slab are fingers
pointing Heavenward, and the inscription,
“Rest in peace. Remembered by his young
friends, J. J. Levy anil M. C. Levy.” If
Texas Jack had designed his own head
board he could not have done better. His
wife, in respect for his memory, retired
from the stage.
THE DECORATION IDEA DEVELOPED.
To the credit of Leadville let it be said,
her dead are not forgotten. Decoration
day means more here than the remembrance
of those who fell in battle. This city did
not come into existence until twelve years
after the war was over, but there are few
places where Decoration-day is so generally
observed in a literal sense. At the foot of
the Homostake monument there is a great
wreath of evergreen bearing the date of
May 30, 1887, and the inscription:
“Decorated in Memory of the Homestake
Boys.”
But little leas imposing than the Home
stake monument is the one “erected by the
employes of the Chrysolite mine to their
fallen companions.” .And here are nine
names and the recent decoration which is
general throughout the cemetery. Ono of
the Chrysolite victims was impaled by.au
iron pipe, which went through his body' and
bored its way into the timbering of the
shaft so far that it could not be loosened by
hand. And there the brave miner stood
pinned to the timbers, fully’ conscious
and calmly giving direction. Not until a
rope was fastened to the pipe and the engine
started was he fret'll from his place of tor
ture. The carbonate hills have furnished
many a hero. Two of tho Chrysolite vic
tims died from bail air. One was over
come by the gas in the shaft and a comrade
went down after him. He raised tho un
conscious man in his arms, put him in the
bucket, gave thy signal to hoist and fell
back. The buckets reached the top, but it
contained only a dead man. The wouldbe
rescuer had given his in a vain effort to save
his friend, but he was just as much a hero
in Leadville’s calendar as if he had fully suc
ceeded. Why shouldn’t such graves be
honored?
A MURDERED MARSHAL.
Side by side lie the O’Connor brothers.
George Edward’s mounment reads: “Mur
dered while faithfully discharging his duty
as Marshal of this city, April 35, 1878.’’
James B. was a city official, and two wives
are keeping his memory green by a lawsuit
over the property he left.
A conspicuous shaft with crossed swords
shows where lie the bones of Col. Randolph
Carpenter. He was the model militiamau
of Leadville, and was shot while trying
to hold some property in dispute at Buena
Vista.
There is a stone in the centre of a well
kept square to show whore the four Prettie
boys were buried. They were two pairs of
brothel's. Louis, Nicola, and Joseph wore
killed by a “cave-in” at the Col. Sellers
mine and tho fourth fell off a bucket ut the
same mine.
Christmas evo VV. A. Morris started to a
dance and fell into a snow-hidden shaft, not
to be found until a month afterward. “Many
go that way,” comments the philosophical
gravedigger. These hills are full of holes
and the snow covers them. James E. Mil
burn, a surveyor, engaged in running a line,
stopjied into one of these pitfalls aud per
ished.
THE DEATH-ROLL OF THE MINES.
The mining business is responsible for a
long list of fatalities varied in character.
Hero is Michael McGinley, who was work
ing on the top of ground in an ore bin. The
heavy ore came down upon him aud killed
him. A piece of porphyry fell on Matt Mal
loy ons Sunday and his naxt grave neighbor
in the cemetery was blown up by giautpow
der the following Sunday. Louis Sherman's
body was frozen stiff at tho corner of the
cemetery. Ho had started to cross the valloy
ono nignt from Leadville to Sugar Loaf
liountain. Thomas Liddicoat fell 150 feet
down a shaft. J. M. Gregory fell off his
wagon.
John Lugenbill, a faro-dealer, was shot
and fell across the doorway of the Bank
Exchange. Edward Frodsham wus hung
by the vigilance qpnnuittoe. Eugene Mut
ter was shot over in Lake I’ark and Walter
E. Bersen stopped a bullet at Montezuma.
Cyprus Mitchell fired tho cartridge that
ended his life. P. 11. Buckley had “cleaned
up,” drawn all the money coming to him,
and was going to leave for his old home in
Wisconsin in the morning. He started out
for one farewell night on State street, und
was found dead with empty pockets iu the
morning.
And thus the obituaries run almost with
out end and no two alike.
MV I-ARTNEK.
Very frequently there appeals a
neat 'headstone with au inscription
like this, with uehange of names:
“Janies Mouygliuu; erected to his memory
bv Thomas W Urown.” Imagination
readily supplies the rest of the story of
“Mv Partner." One of the most artistic of
the smaller monuments bears only the name
of tlie dead and below it “friendship's
Token.”
Out of all those .".000 graves, less than 100
—ninety-four, to Ijo accurate —are in the
[letter's Held. One of the ninety-four is tbo
resting place of C. Cummins. Leadville tra
dition lias it that this man was once able to
draw his check for $150,000. He was a Ken
tuckian und for a time dealt in line lior.se-i in
Louisville. “Fast horses, fast women, and
good red liquor,” is tho unwritten epitaph
in this case.
There are few unknowns, scarce twenty
in the wliold place, rather strange to toll,
but stopping beside one of them the sextiou
slid: “Now, here is the grave of a man I'd
give a month’s wages to know something
about. He was well dressed, good-looking,
and educated. Any one could see he was a
gentleman, and had boon in line circum
stances. One day he walked into a pawn
shop up-town anu asked to sue some revolv
ers. lie was shown several, and picked
out one which ho said would do. Then ho
called for cartridges, and the shopkeeper
could Hud only one of the right calibre.
•Never mind,’’said the young fellow, ‘one
will do t<> start with.’ And then he | minted
to a watch and asked to look at that. The
shopkeeper turned to get the watch and the
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. AUGUST 5, 1887.
young fellow put the pistol to Ids head and
shot himself. There was just 15c. in his
pocket. We couldn't find a scrap of p iper
or anything to show who he was or where
lie had come from. Nobody could identify
him.”
The sexton stopped a moment as If to re
flect on this sad case, and when he resumed
conveisation it was to say: “I expect he
had been riding the bronco and had got
busted.”
THE UNFORTUNATES.
Something has been said of tho respect
shown for the dead bv the living of Lead
'd lie. It is notable that m the four years
that the Bulls have had charge of Ever
green but one woman of tho town has been
put away in the potter’s Hold. There nre
hundreds of those poor cyprians resting un
der their aliases. The rarity of the atmos
phere, the hard life, and morphine make
gn|>s in the ranks of this class with great
rapidity. But often as the call comes tho
survivors go round with the little subscrip
tion paper and enough is raised to buy a
grave and insure Christian burial.
The Laveres fill suicides’ graves. They
were trapeze performers Ida died Christ i nas
eve and Harry was buried in the March fol
lowing. Blonde Lulu, or Mrs. Lulu Hill,
killed herself because she was jealous of a
musiciun, and overy year ho visits her
grave and decorates it with flowers.
Rapidly as outraged nature does her work
in this climate, Blind Frankie could not
wait. She killed herself. So did Alico
Gwynne, and Minnie Newton, and Minnie
McNamara, and Ada Do Alvin, a trapeze
performer. There wits something mysterious
about Katie Sullivan’s death and her lover
was tried for killing her. Otfau Elliott died
from grief soon after her lover committed
suicide.
And so tho long list of unfortunates is made
up. W. B. S.
LOVE IN PHILADEPHIA.
An Heiress Outwitted in Her Attempts
to Wed.
From tlie Missouri Republican.
“It’s a mighty sharp old man who can get
ahead of a young couple who have taken a
notion that their future happiness can only
be secured by a nuptial knot,” said Henry
C. Jordon of Philadelphia at tho Lindell
yesterday, “and while the papers are daily
chronicling the particulars of successful
elopements, the cases where the old gentle
man breaks up their little plans are few and
far between. But I know of one instance
at least where paternal sagacity got the best
of youthful energy, and it happened in
Hhiladelpliia only fast week, and, the Phila
delphia reporters didn’t get on to it either.
On one of the most fashionable streets in
that city is a big. square, stone-front resi
dence, standing away back in tho centre of
a spacious lawn. In this building resides
one of the richest merchants of Hliiladel
phia, a fat, jolly old soul, who rather likes
a bowl of good punch and is partial to whist.
His only living relative is a daughter, who
is a rather handsome girl und remarkably
bright, but rather eccentric in matters of
dress. The young lady is given as much
liberty as any other girl moving in good so
ciety, but her father very’ properly koops a
sharp lookout for adventurers mid fortune
hunters, and no man can have the pleasure
of her company without tho old gentleman
knows something of his antecedents. About
a year ago a young friend of mine began to
pay attention to the heiress. Although work
ing on a salary he had excellent prospects
for the future, and was a number one good
fellow in every particular. Upon first ac
quaintance,
THE YOUNG LADY’S FATHER
seemed to look upon his visits with favor,
and my friend was apparently iu smooth
waters until at last it dawned upon the old
gentlemen that his daughter was beginning
to show a decided preference for Wilson—as
I shaU call him—and he grow cold and dis
tant and finally wound up by writing Wil
son a curt note, requesting him to discon
tinue his visits, and, at the same time, he
gave his daughter a bit of fatherly advice
in the same connection and warned her
against recognizing my young friend in any
way. Why this sudden change in parental
demeanor I could not, at that time, under
stand. The girl, however, was full of spirit,
and being by this time deeply in love with
Wilson, the warning only angered her, and
as the old man doubtless expected she would,
mpt him in the park whenever she had an
opportunity, and,as a matter of course, op
position only strengthened their attachment.
These secret meetings wont on for some
time and at last the young couple, both be
ing of age, decided to settle the matter by
getting married. Wilson’s prospects hud
been greatly improved, his salary hail been
raised and he hail been promised on interest
in the concern for which he wus working, so
he felt himself able to tako cark of a wife.
They had laid all their plans and all they
lacked was a parson to tio tho knot, when
one day
A CLERICAL-LOOKING GENTLEMAN
approached them as they wore discussing
matters in the park, and, handing them his
card, offered his services, volunteering tho
explanation that, he had accidentally over
heard their conversation. Such enterprise
on the part of a preacher looked rather sus
picious, but tho name on the card was that
of the pastor of a very respectable congrega
tion, so they decided to accept his offer, in
the meantime the old gentleman had been
suspiciously blind to all that was going oil.
Well, they prepared to make the jump last
Tuesday night when the futlier had gone to
tho club, and about 10 o’clock that evening
the young lady slipped out by a side door
and made her way to the street, where a
coupe and Wilson were waiting for her.
They drove directly to the minister's resi
dence and were ushered into a private
parlor, whore the clergyman awaited them.
He at once asked where were their wit
nesses. That staggered them. It liadn’t
occurred to them that witnesses were neces
sary.
“‘Oh, well, never mind,’ said he, ‘an old
friend of mine called upon me this evening
and I cun call him and my wifo in to uct in
that capacity.’
“He left the room and returned in a few
mitiutos with wife and the old gentleman,
whom the young I oily immediately recog
nized as her father. The would-bo bride
wus getting
HEADY" TO FAINT,
but the temporary weakness was checked by
the remarkable actions of her father. The
old sinner sat down in a chair and laughed
and laughed until ho was purple, mid then
ho would blow a little and laugh again,
until they begun U> tlgnk lie was going into
hysterics. The young People, however failed
to s*s* tho joke, finally the old man recov
ered himself and made a little speech to the
bride and groom.
“ ’You youngsters,’ lie said, ‘thought you
were playing it mighty smart, but you
didn't know that inn and the (virsou here
hull been keeping an oyo mi you nil the time.
Now, young fellow, I want to tell you some
thing. I liuve found out a great deal about
you. and believe you are worthy the hand
of any woman, and I merely come here to
night, although not invited by you, as 1
should liHVe been, to take a I land in this af
fair, mid now you can go ahead with the
ceremony. I only wanP P> bhow you that
in future you had better let the old man in
oil the ground floor when any tiling like tills
is going on.’
“I imvo learned since that the old gentle
man hud heard some hard stories about
Wilson, which caused him to so suddenly
turn uguinst him. anil finding out after
ward that they were untrue and that the
young man was in every way worthy of ins
daughter's hand, he concluded to let matters
take their own course.”
