Dennis Manwarren - Silverton, Colorado

On the hill overlooking the town of Silverton is a cemetery. Within is the resting place of Dennis Manwarren and his wife.
His date is September 28, 1943 - I assume its his birth date because of the February 25, 1967 wedding date?
The inscribed locomotive is a 4-6-0, pulling a string of boxcars.
Was he associated with one of the railroads that serviced Silverton?
Anyone have information about this man?
Is that the bell off a locomotive? If so, any ideas to its origin?
Thanks,
Matthew
