Here are four newspaper accounts of a
notable tragedy that occurred late May 1931 in southwestern Colorado to
the Robert Curtis Finley family. Click the links below to read a
transcript of each newspaper account.
Special thanks to Michael Dean Darnell for visiting the Cortez Public
Libary (Cortez, Montezuma, Colorado) in 2019 to inquire and work with
Sally Jo Leitner (Cortez Public Library) to locate and take pictures of
the antique microfiche copies of the original printed newspaper
accounts.
