I promised to get back to them and now don't recognize the e-mail address and name: The following is from V. 7, no. 1, Sep 91 issue of the San Luis Valley Genealogical Society Journal in part Julia Brennaman Cemetery - On the morning of May 22, Ted's wife (Brennaman) Eva and her sister Ruth Judd (who was holding a baby) were seated in the house and Ted came in with a gun and told them he was going to kill them. He shot Ruth first and when Eva ran out, he shot her. He then ran to his father's house where he threw the gun (which had jammed) down. He than ran to his uncle's house (Charles Robinson). Mrs. Robinson saw blood on his face and said "Ted, you've been hurt. Let me fix you up". He said, "No, they're after me" and ran out. As he ran toward his mother's house, a man by the name of Vasquez dropped to his knee, took a shot and killed him. The funeral for Ted was held in his mother's house. The cousin who rela! ted this story indicates that Ted's father had said earlier that Ted had been acting strangely and it was confirmed that on this day, he had not been drinking. This is the first time the cousin had heard of Marijuana and Ted's father suspected that Ted and the friend he ran with were "on marijuana" because they always seemed in a daze. One of the pioneers who was part owner of a mortuary at this time recalled going with the hearse to pick up the bodies in Fort Garland and found them piled in the middle of the street when he got there. Ted Brennaman was buried 29 May 1929, Julia Brennaman, his mother was the last person to be buried there.
