Obituary

Robert Clapp, Prominent Citizen, Died Last Monday

Mr. Bob Clapp, one of the oldest and best known residents of the county, died at his home a few miles west of Columbus last Monday. Mr. Clapp was one of the best men in the county, a good citizen and in every way worth of the high respect in which he was held by the people of this county. In next week's issue of the Citizen we will give a more extended tribute to his memory.

Colorado Citizen, April 12, 1918
