Dr. Claude C. Travis, a retired Methodist minister, well known
in Crawfordsville where he attended Wabash College, died
Wednesday morning at Phoenix, AX. He was born in Argentina, where
his father, a Civil War veteran and prominent citizen of
Crawfordsville for many years, was serving as United States
Counsel. While a student at Wabash, Dr. Travis began preaching
and upon graduation in 1895, became pastor of the Methodist
Church in Waveland. He preached in numerous churches in this and
other conferences including some of our best pulpits until his
retirement. He lived four years in California, then moved to AZ
where a son-in-law, Dr. CS Kendall was pastor of the Central
Methodist Church. He was stricken with coronary thrombosis on
Sunday two weeks ago after he had preached a sermon on the
subject, "Life to the Full!"
