THE CRITTENDEN PRESS ~ Sept. 15, 1898.

County Attorney W.C.M. Travis died at his home in Marion Friday night, August 20, after several weeks of illness. Surrounded by his family and firends, he passed peacefully away. He was conscious to the last, and met death like the true, earnest Christian man he was. He was buried in the Bells Mines Cemetery Saturday, and the people of that community, where he had lived so long, turned out to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the late pastor, friend and neighbor. Monroe Travis had warm friends wherever he was known, frank, friendly, generous, amiable, he was without enemies.
Wm. Cebron Monroe Travis was born in Crittenden County Nov. 5, 1842. He was a son of James Harvey Travis, a venerable citizen of the county. He was educated in the public schools of the county and began teaching before he reached his majority, and he was a successful teacher. He read law under the apprenticeship of Hon. John W. Blue, and in 1871 was granted license to practice. About twelve years ago he entered the military, and was an active and successful work in that field until last fall, when he was elected county attorney. He then moved to Marion and took up the duties of that office.
