The cemetery website and the FAG memorial render his surname as Downen, but he is not buried in the same section as the members of the prominent local Downen family. The FAG memorial doesn't have a marker photo attached and only has the information posted on the cemetery site, which means that whomever created the memorial just parroted the information from the cemetery website.

There was a John Downen living in Pueblo in 1900, who was almost exactly the same age as this gentleman. However, he moved to California, died in 1957 and was buried there. So this could not be that John Downen.

The only person with a similar name living in Pueblo in 1900 was an Irish immigrant named John Downing. I don't know for sure that this is him, but for now I'm assuming it is him. The next time I'm in Pueblo I will see if I can solve the mystery and then we will know if I was correct or not.
