Hello Cathy, This is interesting, and I'll be interested to see replies from some more knowledgeable than I am. For what it's worth, I came along about 30 years after the 1910 time. If you look at a map of Pueblo you'll see just south of the present day Arkansas River course a bunch of curly streets--actually streets built without conventional "blocks". These streets are on the bluff above the river. (Until the aftermath of the big flood the river was a mile or so north of the present course.) We called this group of curly streets "the blocks". Did the CF&I railroad own some company houses in "the blocks"? I don't know, but it is certainly possible. However, most of the houses in the blocks, particularly on the western end were large homes probably built by prosperous families. By the 1930s and 40s most were divided into apartments. That's my memory, anyway. I seem to recall a standpipe on the bluff above the river toward the western end of the blocks. If there was, it went away by the 1940s, I think. I never lived in that part of town, although my sweet darling love from high school did live there with her mom for a while. Finally, let me say that I'm possibly wrong about the whole thing. It's been a long time and my elderly brain is full of other things.

Posted on: Pueblo Co. Co Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Co/Pueblo/10222 Surname: Aguilar ------------------------- How is the name Aguilar tied to your geneaology? My father, Francisco Aguilar went to Pueblo when he was 14, with his cousin. It was probably 1918. Evidently there were relatives there. He was sent from Mexico by his family, to escape the ravages of the revolution. I am interested in the newspaper you say you have. Where did you get it? Thanks
My grandfather used to talk about how the kids in Pueblo (around 1910) would go to the "standpipe" to skate & play. He said it was the only place with concrete near where they lived. They lived in "the blocks" (homes owned by the CFI railroad) and the streets in that area had no sidewalks. Does anyone know what and where the standpipe was/is? Were the homes owned by the CFI railroad really called "the blocks"? Cathy Lampshire

I have a copy of an article from The Pueblo Chieftain Newspaper. The original printing of the article was Sept. 23, 1917. It states that Mrs. Cruz Rael (mispelled Real in the article) passed away at the home of her son, John, of Avondale. She was 114 years old at the time of her death and had been a resident of Pueblo County for the last 96 years of her life. The article mentions that at the time of her passing she was survived by four sons, Joe, John, Anton and Frank, 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, all of whom were also residents of Pueblo County in the Avondale District. I am looking for any information regarding Mrs. Maria de la "Cruz" Sierra Rael and her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The article also mentions that her burial was in Huerfano Cemetery. I believe that I am Cruz's great-great-great granddaughter. Thank you. Michelle R. Rael
