Travis - Claude
Source: Waveland Independent Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana July 26, 1945
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!"
