Pioneer/Linwood Cemetery is located just east of Glenwood Springs atop Jasper Mountain. The road begins on Bennett Avenue between 11 th and 13 th streets.

Riverside Cemetery (Denver, Colorado) Riverside Cemetery occupies a 77-acre (310,000 m 2 ) site between Brighton Boulevard and the east bank of the South Platte River, approximately 4 miles down stream from downtown Denver, Colorado. [3] The majority of Riverside Cemetery lies within Adams County, Colorado, however the rest of the cemetery, the cemetery's original entrance and administration building, are within the City and County of Denver. [4] Riverside Cemetery originally was the property of the Riverside Cemetery Association from its founding in 1876 until 1900 when the association's assets were transferred to the Fairmount Cemetery Association (presently known as Fairmount Cemetery Company). In late 2000, Fairmount Cemetery Company along with members of the community founded the Fairmount Heritage Foundation to be an educational resource for the community and to protect and preserve the heritage of both the company's properties: Riverside Cemetery and Fairmount Cemetery. The volunteers of the foundation staff the Riverside Cemetery Office on Tuesdays,Thursdays, Fridays (during the summer months) and Saturdays. They have numerous events and preservation and cleanup projects for the cemetery. Information may be found at www.fairmountheritagefoundation.org. History. When first opened, the graveyard's secluded location on the banks of the South Platte River and the surrounding greenery made it a popular choice for wealthy families; the opening of the Burlington Railroad in the 1890s changed this, spurring industrial growth in the neighborhood, and some families chose to have their relatives' remains exhumed and reburied elsewhere. Prominent people continued to be interred there, with ornate headstones to mark their graves; however, the proportion of unmarked graves rose dramatically, as counties from all over the state sent the bodies of their impoverished dead citizens there. [5] Riverside remained the area's most significant cemetery until the mid-20th century, and retains importance for scholars studying in the early history of Denver, as the city kept no systematic death records until 1910. [6] Today, the neighborhood has become a largely industrial area, surrounded by a gas station, smokestacks, train tracks, and an industrial park, a few blocks from Interstate 70. [3] It remains a minor tourist attraction; in 2001, 3,000 people went on walking tours of the site. [2] The cemetery office, c. 1935. The cemetery's final grave site was assigned in July 2005; the management company, Fairmount Cemetery Inc., indicated that they would not accept further burials after that, because they were losing money on each sale. [7] They have also stopped watering and cut back drastically on services, claiming that their $2.1 million endowment, which generated roughly $62,000 per year in interest, was not enough to water the property and properly maintain all the graves; their records show that they lost $159,000 in 2003. They still employ two groundskeepers to pick up trash, but have had to refuse offers of maintenance help from volunteers due to liability issues. In 2005, Fairmount approached the city government and requested they take over operation of the cemetery; however, the city was forced to decline due to lack of funds. Local residents, concerned by the dying trees and grass and generally poor state of the cemetery, formed a group, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, to bring public attention to the issue. They requested the assistance of a Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral whose founders are buried there; Fairmount indicated that they would be willing to transfer the endowment and operations of the cemetery to a group that could provide an additional trust of $1 million to cover operating expenses.

Colorado’s Pioneer Cemeteries Repositories for the leaders, the lawless and the ladies. A bustling sensation of the Westward Movement rumbled from the Plains to the very Rocky Mountains that held a man’s dream. The original gold strike at the base of this majestic mountain range not only yielded uncountable wealth to many, it would save the nation from an economic disaster, leading the Colorado Territory to become the 38th state in the Union, in 1876. Colorado’s development began with the pioneers who laid the foundation for this great state. Today their monuments and gravestones mark the silent cemeteries across the state. This is a tribute to their memory; Their story, from the grave. WILLIAM NEWTON BYERS. Born: 1831 in Ohio. Died: 1903 in Denver, Colorado. Buried: Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. Contribution: On April 23, 1859, a few days after his arrival to the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, Byers published the region’s first newspaper, which he called The Rocky Mountain News . He also played an active role in Colorado achieving statehood and helped organize the city’s chamber of commerce. Cause of Death: Natural Cause. Tribute: “Not a single page of Denver history could be written without Byers being mentioned,” wrote Jerome Smiley, author of 1901’s The History of Denver . HORACE A.W. TABOR. Born: November 26, 1830, in Holland, Vermont. Died: April 10, 1899, in Denver, Colorado. Buried: Mount Olivet Cemetery in Denver (moved from Calvary section of Old City Cemetery in Denver). Contribution: Put Colorado on the economic map, in silver and scandal. After prospecting for 18 years in Colorado gold camps, Horace finally found fortune in Leadville. Turning to politics, he became the city’s mayor, improving Leadville with an opera house, the first bank, a fire hose company and a telephone company, before he moved to Denver. After “divorcing” his wife Augusta in 1880, Horace secretly married a divorceé, Elizabeth “Baby Doe” McCourt in 1882. Augusta contested the divorce, and the marriage wasn’t legally recognized until March 1, 1883. The repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1893 caused the value of silver to plunge, and so, too, most of the Tabor fortune. Tabor died penniless. Cause of Death: Appendicitis. Last Words: “Hang on to the Matchless Mine,” which legend reports Horace said to his beloved Baby Doe. ELIZABETH BONDUEL McCOURT TABOR. Born: October 7, 1854, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Died: March 7, 1935, in Leadville, Colorado. Buried: Mount Olivet Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. Contribution: This divorceé became famous after marrying Silver King Horace Tabor. After his death, she spent 35 years trying to make the Matchless Mine come back to life so she could fulfill her husband’s dying wish; she died trying. Cause of Death: Found frozen in the shape of a cross, to her cabin’s shanty floor. TEXAS JACK OMOHUNDRO. Born: July 26, 1846, near Palmyra, Virginia. Died: June 28, 1880, in Leadville, Colorado. Buried: Evergreen Cemetery in Leadville. Contribution: Although he definitely fit the adage, a jack of many trades, John Baker “Texas Jack” Omohundro is most known for being a showman. He began his acting career while appearing with Buffalo Bill Cody in “Scouts of the Prairie.” Cause of Death: Pneumonia. Tribute: Given by Buffalo Bill Cody, who personally placed the headstone still standing today, “Texas Jack was an old friend of mine…. I learned to know him and respect his bravery and ability … he was a whole souled, brave, and good hearted man.” ADOLPH COORS. Born: February 4, 1847, in Barmen, Rhenish Prussia. Died: June 5, 1929, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Buried: Next to his wife, in the family plot, of Denver’s Crown Hill Cemetery. Contribution: Originator of the Coors Brewery, based in Golden, Colorado, after Adolph purchased land east of Golden, on the edge of Clear Creek’s cool spring water, pure and perfect for brewing beer. When prohibition came, though, Adolph began the Denver Pottery Company, which is why his tribute references this, in place of his being a brewer. Cause of Death: Suicide. Tribute: “Adolph Herman Joseph Coors, aged 82, retired pottery manufacturer of Golden Colorado was killed instantly yesterday by a fall from a window of a Virginia Beach hotel [The Cavalier], where he was stopping.”— The Virginia Pilot, June 6, 1929. BUFFALO BILL CODY. Born: February 26, 1846, near LeClaire, Iowa. Died: January 10, 1917, in Denver, Colorado. Buried: On top of Lookout Mountain in Denver. Contribution: William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody is credited with bringing down over 4,000 head of buffalo while working for the Kansas Pacific Railroad. He then became an army scout, leading many skirmishes against Indians, for which dime novels stereotyped him as a Wild West hero. With such a fan base, he went on to begin his own Wild West show in 1883, starring himself, of course. Cause of Death: Kidney failure. Tribute: “The State of California desires to express its appreciation of the courage and fearlessness of this, our last frontiersman, whose life stands forth in the establishment and foundation of our western country; and Whereas, in his death that romantic and stirring chapter in our national history that began with Daniel Boone is forever closed.”—Resolution in memoriam from the State Legislature of California on January 18, 1917. Last Words: After asking his doctor how much time he had left (not much), Cody said “Then let’s forget about it, and play high five.” ROBERT FORD. Born: 1861 in Missouri. Died: June 8, 1892, in Creede, Colorado. Buried: Original burial site is at the north end of Sunnyside Cemetery in Creede. The body was later removed to Missouri at his wife’s request. Contribution: Popularly known as the “Dirty little coward who shot Mr. Howard,” referring to the outlaw Jesse James, whom Robert killed on April 3, 1882. Cause of Death: Gunshot wound, given by Ed O. Kelly. ALFERD PACKER. Born: January 21, 1842, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Died: April 23, 1907, in Littleton, Colorado. Buried: Littleton Cemetery (his grave is covered with three feet of concrete to protect against vandals and is marked by a government stone, denoting Packer’s U.S. Infantry days; gravestone states Alfred Packer, another spelling of his name). Contribution: If you can call it that, but Packer is famous as the only man in U.S. history to be convicted of cannibalism. As a scout for gold prospectors in the Rocky Mountains, Packer was the lone survivor of a party of five men he had led into the San Juan Mountains during 1873-74. When he returned and the remains of his companions were found above Lake City, with body parts missing, Packer was eventually sentenced to 40 years in prison in 1886. He was released in 1901. Cause of Death: Natural Cause. Last Words: “I’m not guilty of the charge,” according to Littleton’s newspaper, Independent . JOHN HENRY “DOC” HOLLIDAY. Born: August 14, 1851, in Griffin, Georgia. Died: November 8, 1887, in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Buried: Linwood Cemetery in Glenwood Springs (gravestone at left incorrectly notes birth year as 1852; it has since been corrected). Contribution: Most noted for his participation in the Gunfight Behind the O.K. Corral where he shot and killed Tom McLaury with a shotgun; the dentist and gambler was also a part of Wyatt Earp’s Vendetta Ride. Cause of Death: Tuberculosis. Tribute: “One of the most fearless men on the frontier, and whose devotion to his friends in the climax of the fiercest ordeal was inextinguishable. It was this, more than any other faculty that secured for him the reverence of a large circle who were prepared on the shortest notice to rally to his relief.”— Carbonate Chronicle , November 14, 1887. Last Words: “This is funny,” supposedly said after seeing his naked feet (he didn’t “die with his boots on”). TOM HORN. Born: November 21, 1860, near Memphis, Missouri. Died: November 20, 1903, in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Buried: Columbia Pioneer Cemetery in Boulder, Colorado. Contribution: While fighting for the U.S. Army, Horn was present at Geronimo’s surrender as a Spanish translator. By 1890, he joined the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. His story became one of corruption when he hired on as a horse breaker for the Swan Land and Cattle Company in Wyoming in 1894. His real duty was doling out “justice” for cattle barons as a hired killer. Horn’s end came after he mistook a 14-year-old William Nickell for his father and fatally shot the boy in the back. A drunk Horn admitted as much to U.S. Deputy Marshal Joe LeFors. (Many experts doubt that Horn shot the kid.) Cause of Death: Hanging. Last Words: Said from the gallows, “Hurry it up. I got nothing more to say.” —According to Legend. JOHN M. CHIVINGTON. Born: January 27, 1821, near Lebanon, Ohio. Died: October 4, 1894, in Denver, Colorado. Buried: Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. Contribution: Best known for leading the Third Colorado Volunteer regiment on a bloody, murderous attack against a camp of Cheyenne and Arapahos, known as the Sand Creek Massacre. For his part, Chivington was condemned by a Congressional committee. This Methodist preacher did win praise for his leadership during the earlier skirmish at La Glorieta Pass, Colorado’s only Civil War battle. Cause of Death: Cancer. Tribute: When Chivington died in 1894, his body was buried with full Masonic honors, and his grand funeral procession included members of the Grand Army of the Republic as well as the Colorado Pioneer Society. MATTIE SILKS. Born: 1846 in Kansas. Died: January 7, 1929, in Denver, Colorado. Buried: Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. Contribution: Martha A. Ready, a.k.a. Mattie Silks, was considered the “Queen of the Row” of Denver’s tenderloin district. She’s most known for participating in the first female duel in Denver’s history. She challenged to a duel Kate Fulton, a competitive madam who had become too friendly with Mattie’s man, Corteze Thomson. Both fired and missed, but ironically, Mattie’s bullet nicked her beloved Corteze. Cause of Death: From complications suffered during a fall. LAURA EVANS. Born: 1874. Died: 1953. Buried: Pioneer Cemetery in Salida, Colorado (her granite marker is misspelled as Evens). Contribution: One of Colorado’s oldest operating madams, Laura left Denver for Leadville in 1894, at the height of Jack the Ripper’s murder spree on Denver’s Market Street. She’s famous for hiding a $27,000 payroll beneath her skirts and riding horseback to deliver it to mine owners during Leadville’s mining strike. Cause of Death: Natural Cause. PEARL DeVERE. Born: 1861, based on an obituary stating she died at 36. Died: June 5, 1897, in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Buried: Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Cripple Creek. Contribution: The most prosperous of all madams in the Red Light District, Pearl built the grandest brick parlor house in the city, which is the Old Homestead Museum today. Cause of Death: Overdose of morphine. Coroner’s Report: “The coroner ruled that an accidental overdose of morphine, to induce sleep, had caused the death of Pearl DeVere. She had given a lavish party the previous evening. Upon retiring, she was restless and took a dose of the morphine to sleep. Still dressed in her exquisite Paris-made pink chiffon ball gown, complete with sequins and pearls, Pearl eventually fell to sleep.” — Cripple Creek Gold Rush , June 10, 1897.
