Catlett Funeral Held Saturday
The funeral of Robert E. Catlett, 60 years old, was held from the home of
his sister, Mrs Pierce Winn, at Mt. Sterling, Saturday morning, February 5,
at 10 o'clock. Services were conducted by Rev. Wilcox, pastor of the Mt.
Sterling Presbyterian Church. Interment was in the family lot in the
Owingsville Cemetery at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Catlett died in his apartment here shortly after noon last Thursday,
February 3, following a brief illness of lobar pneumonia. He had been ill
for more than a week, but the seriousness of his illness was not known until
the day of his death.
A member of one of Bath county's wealthiest and most aristocratic
families, he was the son of the late Dr. John T. catlett, born in
Owingsville December 12, 1877. He grew up here and received his elementary
education in the local schools, later entering Kentucky Military Institute,
where he was a student for several years.
A farmer and sportsman, he was widely known throughout Kentucky and
perhaps
the best known man in Bath and surrounding counties. His charming
personality and exuberant generosity made friends for him in every walk of
life, to whom his untimely death is a source of genuine sorrow.
Besides his sister, Mrs. Winn, he is survived by one daughter, Miss
Lucille Catlett, instructor at the Morehead State Teachers College.
