ROBERT CARLTON WEBB
Funeral services held for Robert Webb, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Webb of Eagle, held at the local Methodist church Sunday afternoon, were attended by an exceptionally large crowd of people, relatives, friends and schoolmates of the deceased young man.
Rev. T.B. McDivitt delivered a short but very fitting funeral discourse, and the following sang during the services: Mixed quartette [sic] consisting of Miss Irma Twiggs, Mrs. R.R. Crie, Messers. Melvin Eaton and W.S. Brown, who sang two selections. Duett by Patricia and Josephine Meehan, and a solo by Miss Twiggs.
Pallbearers were Louis Campbell, N.E. Buchholz, Ed Watson, Jack Switzler, James Quick, Omar Ginther. The pall bearers were preceded by a flag bearer, Spencer Crowel, a comrade of Robert's at the CCC camp who carried the American flag. The body was followed to the Eagle cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, where the body was lovingly laid to rest.
Robert Corlton [sic] Webb was born at the home of his Grandmother Webb at Hotchkiss, Colo. April 1, 1914.
He grew to young manhood at the family ranch home on Brush creek near Eagle, and was a graduate of the Eagle high school, class of 1932.
He entered a CCC camp at Tigiwon two years ago, and was later transferred to a camp at Gardner, Colo. Here he contracted pneumonia and passed away at the hospital in Walsenburg, Colo. after a short illness on February 6, 1935.
Robert, by his sunny disposition, won hosts of friends and he was the sunshine of his family. He leaves to mourn his untimely death his father and mother, one sister, and two brothers, besides a great many friends.
