My Family Tree

Died in Childhood.

May 5, 1900, Basalt Journal, Basalt, Eagle Co., Colorado (pg 3):
Died. Willard CHATFIELD, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.S. CHATFIELD, passed away on Friday evening, after an illness of six days with pneumonia. The best medical skill proved unavailing. Willard was born February 1, 1880, and had lived at Basalt for many years, his father being connected with the firm of J.A. Smith & Co. He was possessed of many qualities of sterling worth which had endeared him to the entire community. The sincere sympathy of our people goes out to the bereaved parents in their hour of affliction. Funeral services will be held at Mr. Chatfield's residence at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, conducted by Rev. F.R. Hollenback. Interment will be at Fairview cemetery.
