*The Red Hat Society (RHS) is an international social organization that was founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but now open to women of all ages. In the fall of 1997, Sue Ellen Cooper, an artist from Fullerton, California, bought a red hat and gave it to a friend as a birthday gift. She was inspired by the Jenny Joseph poem, "Warning", that was popularized by a Reader's Digest article written by Liz Carpenter in which a poem begins: "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me...". Cooper repeated the gift to several other friends who eventually bought purple outfits and held a tea party on April 25, 1998, at which the Red Hat Society began. Cooper facilitated the growth of the organization and now serves as "Exalted Queen Mother" of the organization. She has written two books about the society: The Red Hat Society: Friendship and Fun After Fifty (2004) and The Red Hat Society's Laugh Lines: Stories of Inspiration and Hattitude (2005). With Chapters online and offline across the globe, membership in the Red Hat Society offers powerful interpersonal connections and emotional support systems for women from all walks of life.

(Research):Fatal accident occurs at Limon's Parade of Lights
By Will Bublitz
What was meant to be a joyous holiday event was turned into tragedy as a fatal vehicle-pedestrian accident took place in Limon as its annual Parade of Lights was about to begin last Saturday evening, Dec. 18. The accident took place at the downtown area's main intersection of Main Street and E Avenue about 6 p.m. According to an accident investigation by the Colorado State Patrol, a 2018 Ford Focus was headed eastbound on Main Street as it approached the intersection which has a stoplight. "The Ford slowed down for a red light as it approached E Avenue", Trooper Josh Lewis said. The two pedestrians were walking south across Main Street as the light changed to green. Before they had finished crossing the street they were both struck by the car. The pedestrians were Luanne Winkelman, 81, and her 56-year-old son, Joel both of Limon. Immediately following the accident, they were rushed by ambulance to Lincoln Community Hospital in Hugo. "Due to the seriousness of her injuries, the 81-year-old female was later flown by AirLife helicopter to Swedish Hospital in Denver," Trooper Lewis said. "In the early morning hours of December 19 she was declared deceased." Joel Winkelman suffered "moderate injuries" in the accident. He was later released from the hospital in Hugo. The driver of the Ford Focus was 40-year-old Michael Jantz of Limon. He was not injured in the accident. The Colorado State Patrol is in charge of this case. "This is still an open case and the investigation is continuing." Trooper Lewis said. "Alcohol is considered a possible factor. Charges may be pending". Saturday's accident occurred just as the annual Parade of Lights was about to begin. Floats and other vehicles were lined up on E Avenue in preparation to crossing Main Street into Limon's small downtown area where hundreds of spectators were gathered to watch the parade. The Limon Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Parade of Lights which celebrates the Christmas season. Following this tragic incident, the organizers of the parade immediately canceled the event for this year.

Notes:

Ronald Delos Cooley was born in Crofton, Knox County, Nebraska 28 Jan 1906, son of Herbert Merton (Mert) Cooley and Elizabeth Holliday. Late the next year a second child, Merton Beth Cooley, was born (7 Dec 1907) shortly after which Elizabeth died of complications. Ronald went to live with his grandparents Robert Reed Cooley and Beth was taken in and raised by his uncle Robert Berton Cooley and his wife, Carrie Louella Miller. Ronald attended grade school in Crofton, Nebr, and high schools in Flagler, Colo and Otis, Colo. While in Crofton he helped his father, Mert, in his newspaper business then continued to help at his uncle Bert's newspaper, the Otis Independent, in Otis, Colo in 1911. He learned to operate the Linotype at the Independent and with his early immersion in newspapering, Ronald decided to continue in the business. He first attended the University of Denver then the University of Colorado in Boulder Colo where he attained a bachelor's degree in journalism. While at the University, Ronald was a member of Kappa Sigma social fraternity and of Sigma Delta Chi journalistic fraternity where he served as president in his senior year. After graduation he took a newspaper job with Smith-Brooks Printing Company in Denver. In succeeding years he also worked at the Record Stockman, the Denver Post, and one summer, at the Steamboat Springs Pilot. Eventually he returned to Akron, Colo., to work at his Uncle Bert's newspaper, the Akron News-Reporter. In Denver he was married to his high school sweetheart, Irene Skinner, on July 20, 1935. They had two children, Luanne b. 22 May 1940, and a son, James Ronald b. 16 Dec 1943. Luanne was married to Larry Winkelman of Dodge City, Kan., and James married Maria Morrison of Holdrege, Nebr. On February 15, 1937, Ronald and his cousin Dale moved to Limon, Colo., to operate the Eastern Colorado Leader as a partnership set up by Bert. About two years later the paper was combined with the Genoa Sentinal and renamed the Limon Leader. The partnership continued until June 1, 1972, when the newspaper was sold to Norman R. Sunderland and Associates. "During the Eisenhower administration, Ron [was offered] the job of Postmaster at Limon. Before accepting the position Ron lost a lot of sleep while pondering the multitude of details and irritations that would be a part of a postmaster's daily life. 'I got as far as the swearing-in part of it, then decided not to take it', Ron recalled". Ronald served as Mayor of Limon for two terms and as a city councilman for several terms. In 1955, Ronald and Dale, were honored as "Editors of the Year" by the University of Colorado Department of journalism. He was a member of the Colorado Press Association while active in the newspaper business and served on the board of directors, as well as in many different committees. He was a member of the Limon Lions Club of which he was a charter member, a member of the First United Methodist Church of Limon, and an honorary member of the Limon High School "L" Club. Ronald Delos Cooley died January 11, 1980 ae 73. He is buried at Pershing Memorial Cemetery (Limon Cemetery), Limon, Lincoln County, Colorado. Note that Ronald Delos died just 37 days after the death of his cousin Clifford Coyne Cooley (both raised as brothers) who had died on 5 Dec 1979 in Akron Colorado. One's death close to the death of a sibling or close relative is called the bereavement effect. This effect came into play in this family again in 1994 when cousins-raised-as-brothers Robert Miller Cooley and Merton Beth Cooley died just one day apart, Beth 3 Nov 1992, Bob 4 Nov 1992.

(Research):Delos - As a given name for boys it is of Greek derivation, and the name Delos means "from Delos" where Delos is a tiny Greek island that was sacred to the ancient Greeks who believed that Apollo and Artemis had been born there. Its usage peaked modestly in 1904 with 0.007% of baby boys being named Delos. - http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Delos

When some beloved voice that was to you
Both sound and sweetness faileth and deny
And silence, against which you dare not cry
Aches round you like a strong disease and new
What hope? What help? What music will undo
That silence to your sense! Not friendship's sigh
Not reason's subtle count. Nay none of these
Speak Thou availing Christ and fill this pause.

ROBERT REED COOLEY ANSWERS LAST CALLThe Flagler (Colorado) News Vol. V, No. 50, 3 Jan 1918, p. 4., col. 3 Will A. Borland, ed This community was grieved last Friday when the word was spread about town that Robert Cooley had passed away on 28 Dec 1917. Mr. Cooley was a man who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him, and while the writer had known him but two years, still I had learned to love and respect him. His genial disposition and hearty greeting had endeared him to our people and he will be greatly missed in the community. Robert Reed Cooley was born to Andrew Sutherland Cooley and Salome Warren Cooley in Garnavillo, Iowa 14 May 1847 and died at his home near Flagler, Colo., December 28, 1917, at the age of 70 years, 7 months and 14 days, death being due to apoplexy [a sudden loss of consciousness resulting when the rupture or occlusion of a blood vessel leads to oxygen lack in the brain]. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church in Flagler on Monday morning, December 31st [1918], at 11 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. W. Moore. His text was found in Phil. 1-21: "To me, to live is Christ, to die is gain." Businesses of Flagler were closed during services. He lived with his parents in Garnavillo [Clayton County, Iowa] until young manhood, when he and his father, A. S. Cooley, disposed of his [?] property near that place and purchased a farm near McGregor, Iowa, where he was in the lumber business several years. He was united in marriage with Stella A. Owen on December 10, 1874 in McGregor, Clayton County, Iowa. To this union were born four children: Twins Herbert Merton (Mert) and Robert Berton (Bert) on 20 Oct 1875 in McGregor, Clayton County, Iowa; Verne Alton on 8 May 1880 in McGregor, and Glenn Syren on 14 Jul 1894 in Plainview, Pierce County, Nebraska. Herbert Merton was drowned in the Missouri River near Yankton, S.D., 4 Nov 1914 and Verne Alton died at McGregor Iowa, 5 Aug 1881, at the age of 15 months. In the spring of 1886 Robert Reed and his family consisting of himself, wife Stella, and twin sons Mert and Bert moved to Plainview, Nebr., where he resided until the spring of 1910 when he migrated to Kit Carson County Colorado where he bought a relinquishment northwest of Flagler. Robert Cooley was a true man; a man who gave almost his entire life to the service of others. For three years he took care of a helpless brother who was wounded in the Civil War [Peter S. Cooley]. This ordeal practically undermined his health, but he never complained. Mr. Cooley is survived by his wife, Stella, and two sons, Robert Berton of Otis, Colo., and Glenn Syren of Flagler. He is also survived by six grand-children, one of whom, Ronald Cooley, has lived with his grandparents since the death of his mother, Elizabeth Holliday Cooley, in December of 1907. A large number of sympathizing friends and associates assembled to pay their last respects to one whom they loved, and the business houses of Flagler were closed during the services. The floral offerings were abundant and beautiful. The last remains were laid to their final rest in the Flagler cemetery. The News joins with the large circle of friend and acquaintances in extending sympathy to the bereaved wife and children in their time of sorrow.
