This not my family. I had copied this obit because on an index card at the cemetery it said that Mrs. Katie Baird had given permission to bury Mr & Mrs. G.W. Travis sp 1&2 on N1/2 of LOt 50, Block 47 in the Mountain View Cemetery, Longmont, CO. (Nov 17, 1953) I thought maybe there was a relationship between the Travis and Baird families. I do not think so, but since I had copied the obit I thought I would share it. This may help someone. Ethel's husband George W Travis is buried along side her. Ethel and George W: Lot 50, Block 47...spaces 1 and 2. I am posting the obit notice for George W from the Longmont Paper also. He died Sept 6, 1965. I hope this helps someone out.
