Williams 22 The Pueblo County Historical Society 201 W. “B” Street ~ Pueblo, CO 81003 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ……………………………………….…………… October 2009 I have always thought that the PCHS library, The Edward Broadhead Library, was a very good library for those interested in local, area and regional history. It was on par with the public library’s collection on the same subjects and served the needs of both our membership and the general public well. I don’t feel that way any more. Father William P. Doll, a charter and long standing member of the PCHS recently made a donation to our library. Many of you will remember Fr. Doll from his service to the Catholic community in Pueblo, both in local parishes and with the Pueblo Diocese. Some of you may remember Fr. Doll as a active member in the Pueblo County Historical Society. His last service was in the community of Holly. When Fr. Doll decided to retire and relo- cate to Minnesota he donated his library to us. We had no idea of the size of the collection, only that it was located in Holly and ready for us to pick up. Members Bill Crain and Ken Clark made the trip to eastern Colorado to pick up the books. To their amazement and later to ours was the size of the collection. 98 boxes of well packed books, over 2,000 books, over 150 periodicals, journals and historical reviews. There were first editions dating back to the late 1800’s, historical reviews from the early 20th century, some with a small printing of less than 500. And best of all the collection was in outstanding shape. One of the books I looked through was the Journal of Jacob Fowler, published in 1888 and a first edition. To say the gift from Fr. Doll is a valuable addition to our li- brary would be a gross understatement. It is priceless, and the Edward Broadhead Library is now, in my opinion, the finest research library of local, area and regional history around. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Father William P. Doll for his judicious acquisition over the years of some truly outstanding books. The William P. Doll Collection will be ready for viewing soon. —Dwight Hunter —— PUEBLO COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY 201 W. “B” Street, Pueblo, CO 81003 (Telephone 719-543-6772 E-Mail: [email protected]) VISIT OUR WEBPAGE www.pueblohistory.org Museum with numerous exhibits related to Pueblo area history located in the Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center, 201 W “B” St. Edward Broadhead Library located on the upper level of the Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center.

Copyright © 2009 Pueblo County Historical Society – All rights reserved PUEBLO LORE — October 2009 — 1 PUEBLO and the 1918 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC The Influenza Virus Arrives In Pueblo By Ione Miller The following is the second in a series of monthly articles on how the deadly influenza virus made its way to Pueblo and how this community was affected by the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. As early as September 20, 1918, Pueblo City Physician Dr. W.E. Buck had informed the com- munity that they must guard against the Spanish Influenza which was breaking out across the country. His remarks included the dangers of coughing or expectorating in public places. On October 3rd Dr. Buck made the announcement, “Pueblo must wage a vigorous war against Spanish Influenza and do it without delay.” This alert accompanied the feared news that six cases of the virus were already known and there was fear that there others in addition to those identified. A meeting was scheduled for the special committees of the Pueblo Medical Association to make plans for enlisting all the medical profession in a battle against the threat. Among other actions taken at that time was the order that all physicians were “not only re- quested, but required” to report every case of the flue (sic). Teachers in all the schools were to be drilled so they could “properly impart the doctrine of prevention to the students.” The Four Minute Men would be asked to give attention to the subject in all their addresses.1 PUEBLO – 8000 MARCH IN LIBERTY LOAN PARADE In his interview with the newspaper on the evening of October 2nd, Red Cross Chairman R.S. Gast had sug- gested that it might be wise to close the schools and other public gathering plac- es. Unfortunately, probably the largest public gathering Pueblo had ever wit- nessed had occurred just the previous evening (October 1st) when reportedly 8000 “true blue Americans” marched down Pueblo’s streets in a Liberty Loan Parade with an estimated 50,000 cheering spectators. The Parade Marshal was Dr. R.W. Corwin, accompanied by nearly every business, professional and social dignitary of the city.2 Such parades and rallies were common across the country as commu- nities felt under the pressure to prove their patriotism by meeting Liberty Loan quotas. All of this took place in spite of early warnings to the community in regard to the spread of the Spanish Influenza across the country. NATIONALLY, CROWDS GATHER IN SPITE OF GROWING DANGER. Less than two weeks later, another special day, Liberty Loan Day, was announced nation-wide in an effort to boost subscriptions. Many planned-for parades across the county were cancelled due to the epidemic but the one in New York City went on as scheduled. President Woodrow Wilson himself traveled from Washington D.C. to lead the parade, which drew millions of New Yorkers to cheer the marchers. In Pueblo, Dr. Buck, giving recognition to the history of the disease, explained that the in- fluenza that was so prevalent all across the county was the same as that which had visited Pueblo in the years 1889 and 1890, but which was now much more severe than in the past. AN ORDER BY CITY COMMISSIONERS was announced in the October 4th edition of The Pueblo Chieftain. The report was issued the previous day by the commissioners following a meet- ______________________________ ing held at the Commerce Club attended by medical men and citizens in “considerable numbers.” 1Note: The “Four Minute Men” were a group of volunteers authorized by President Wilson and organized by George Creel of the Committee on Public Information. Well known local figures were enlisted to give four minute patriotic and supportive speeches, from topics and speaking points supplied to them by the national committee.

We hope, in cooperation with the City of Pueblo, to create some type of rail operation between the Depot and Riverwalk in the future. The trackage is used to store vintage equipment for display and for operations. Our museum is small, but continues to grow and we do have some unusual pieces in the collection. Primary Concentration of our Collection The five roads which served Pueblo are the Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW), the Santa Fe (ATSF), Colorado & Southern (C&S) part of the Burlington Route, the Missouri Pacific (MP) and the Colorado & Wyoming (C&W). In the Heritage Center We have smaller, indoor exhibits in the west end of the old freight depot of the Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center opposite the Depot. While the freight depot is large, we share the space with other historical organizations and space for each group is limited. For this reason and also to make our museum a more meaningful experience to visitors, we change the subject of exhibits regularly.

    "19th July 1944" Posted by W. Kommer on 12/8/2004, 10:27 am Hello, on the page "a short history of th 457th Bombardment Group..." I read 3 bombers are lost with 19th of July 1944... but only 1 crew is found in MACR from 457 BG (42-97601). Whats about the other two planes? thanks for answer Posted by craig harris on 12/8/2004, 11:35 pm, in reply to "19th July 1944 " I think you are correct. The MACR fles show only the one a/c 42-97601. So the "history" must be in error. One possibility could have been loss of two a/c in circumstances that did not trigger a MACR, namely an accident. However, I checked our accident fles and while two aircraf were lost to accidents on 23 July 1944, none are listed for 19th July. Sorry to be of so litle help. Cheers! craig harris Posted by W. Kommer on 12/9/2004, 4:59 am, in reply to "Re: 19th July 1944 "3A/C lost" Hello Craig, thanks for answer. I asked because of my search for the plane , I posted 11/27/2004. Perhaps there were really two unknown planes? In my Re. to Willard Reese I told the history. Untl now the plane and the crew are not identfed. W. Kommer Posted by Jerry Sale on 12/9/2004, 8:18 am, in reply to "Re: 19th July 1944 "3A/C lost" The Mission 91 narratve lists only 1 plane lost. Don't know whether you saw this or not.
