Mary did not have a photo installed. Angelos photo is above.

This stone is for this couple. Next to this stone is the grave of their Son, Angeline “Angelo” Harris Jr. Born October 31st, 1915 in Colorado. Angelo Jr. passed away at the age of 4 Years, 9 months and 10 days old, after kidney problems according to an article posted in records for his grave. The boy had been sick for a long time and was in the Minnequa Hospital in Pueblo when he passed.  He died on August 8th, 1920.

Detail of Angelo Jr.

Angelo Sr, would pass away in 1946. No death date was listed but his burial was January 12th. Mary would pass away in 1974. 

She has no photo on her side of the grave. There a was no additional family listed. 

I did find an additional record of Angelo Sr. being injured in a mining accident on November 3rd 1899, in Rockvale, Colorado. Rockvale was known for Coal Mining and brought many pioneers and mine workers into Fremont County.  The incident was listed in a registry of mining accidents in Colorado. 

The photos are stunning and in great shape. This one rests under a large tree and faces east. 

Rest east Angelo, Mary and Angelo Jr. You are not forgotten.

Sharing these helps to keep their memory from fading away. I do my best to find information and I’m always open to edits and corrections when needed. I would never post anything incorrectly with harmful intent. Cemeteries are full of stories, sometimes I can find them, sometimes I can’t.

Be respectful if visiting any of the places I share. These places won’t be around forever, especially if not treated with the utmost in respect. Other than picking up obvious trash, we do not alter any of the gravesites we visit. Please keep in mind that some trinkets are left as honor, not disrespect.
