Lilly was born in Coal Creek, CO. in 1888, her parents were Thomas and Annie Cobley. Her siblings were Mary Elizabeth Cobley McCormick, Thomas Cobley Jr., Matthew Albert Cobley, Catherine Ann Cobley Cowan, Charles Cobley and Morris Cobley. Charles and Morris died when they were little. Lilly's first husband was Austin Thorpe and they had two children Austin Jr. and Dorothy. She divorced Austin and married J. Hyrum Shawcroft, he died in 1932 and I know she married again but I don't know the man's name. I have photos of them when they visited my grandparents Thomas and Cora Cobley in CA. during the mid 1950s. I believe she married her third husband after 1939 in CO. I've always thought that they lived in Florence, CO. but I may be wrong about that. I know if I can find her third husband's name then I can find out her death date and place of buriel. I've written to the history center in Fremont Co. but got very ! little help from them. I am trying to find my Aunt Cassie's obit in hopes that it may have Lilly's name in it. Cassie was Catherine Cobley Cowan and she died in Nov. of 1979 and is buried in the Greenwood Cem. in Canon City. She lived in Canon City in the 12 mile park area on the family ranch for most of her life. If there is anyone out there that can look up her obit please let me know. I've been stuck behind this brick wall for years now and I would sure like to see the bricks start to crumble.

The 14 men died between July 1899 and October 2002. The marble memorial with three flags at half-staff is off U.S. Highway 50 at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility, the state’s first prison, which opened in 1876. “Because we work behind a fence and walls, for the most part, people don’t even know who we are, and they’re more ignorant of what we do,” said Joe Ortiz, executive director of the state Department of Corrections. The memorial is on the outside of prison walls, he said, to serve as a reminder to the public that working with the most dangerous criminals can carry the greatest risk. Eight of the 14 were killed in October 1929 trying to stop a mass breakout from the prison during a riot. Five prisoners also were killed in the riot, during which more than 2,000 bullets were fired and part of the prison was destroyed by fire. Among those killed was the prison executioner, 70-year-old John “Jack” Eeles, who worked there for 25 years. None of the prisoners, some of whom had weapons hidden in the walls, escaped. The breakout was thwarted, in part, by Officer Myron Goodwin, 63, who shot and killed the ringleader. “Goodwin, stationed in tower No. 1 at the southwest corner of the stone wall, was true to prison tradition,” according to DOC’s Web site. “He threw away his keys when the attack started and began firing. . . . Prison officials credited Goodwin’s promptness in shooting down (the ringleader) with having stopped a general break by the 1,200 inmates.” Goodwin was one of the officers that died that day, shot in the chest. His granddaughter, 68-yearold Kay Goodwin Murphy, saw his name Friday on the memorial. She was born after his death. “The family didn’t talk about it a whole lot because it was part of life,” said Goodwin Murphy, who lives north of Denver. Goodwin has a surviving daughter, 88, who lives in Denver and was unable to attend the unveiling. “It’s so marvelous,” Goodwin Murphy said, looking at the memorial. “We all still honor him.” DOC staff raised about $20,000 for the memorial through bake sales, donations, barbecues and selling T-shirts and pins. The memorial, which will be lit nightly, reads: “Gone but not forgotten.” The last corrections officer to die in the line of duty was Eric Autobee, 23. Autobee was killed in October 2002 by an inmate who beat him with a 9-pound soup ladle at the Limon Correctional Facility. The job of the correctional officer has changed through the decades, but the danger remains, said DOC spokesman Walt Ahrens. Years ago when officers ordered a prisoner out of his cell but the inmate refused, officers would barge in with a mattress and block the prisoner before removing him. “We just ran in there and hoped for the best,” said Ahrens, who’s worked for DOC for 19 years. Now, specialized teams of highly trained officers with protective gear remove prisoners. The smallest thing can trigger a prisoner to attack, he said, including an upsetting letter from a girlfriend or food that isn’t to an inmate’s liking. “You just have to be cautious,” Ahrens said. “You can never be complacent. You always have to be on your guard.” The memorial does more than recognize the sacrifice of those who died, said Gary Watkins, warden of the Fremont Correctional Facility. “I also want it to serve as a reminder that we place our lives at risk every day we walk into a facility,” he said. “We need to remember that it is a dangerous business.” CONTACT THE WRITER: 636-0366 or awillett@gazette.com THE OFFICERS: Thomas Tobin: Died in July 1899 after being accidentally shot in the chest by a sheriff’s official who was searching for an escaped prisoner.
