Metcalf—In Denver, Colo., Friday, Oct. 11, 1918, Leslie D. Metcalf, aged 62 years.
Mr. Metcalf was in Longmont Sunday the 6th, and was taken with the influenza which settled on his lungs.
Mr. Metcalf was still well known in Longmont though he had made his home in Denver for about twelve years, being employed at the Denver mint. F. M. Downer became superintendent of the mint in 1904, and Mr. Metcalf was appointed to the position by him.
For a good many years, Mr. Metcalf ran a feed mill on Main street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, west side, long before the brick buildings now standing had been built. He was a member of the W.A. Buckingham Hook and Ladder Co., of the Longmont volunteer fire department, and since the organization of the pioneer Fireman’s Club in 1910, he is the first member to be called by death.
Mr. Metcalf was a good worker and had a happy disposition, making many friends and keeping them. He leaves a wife and one son, George, now living in California, and two daughters, Miss Nellie, and Mrs. Beulah Bowles of Denver, and one stepson, Lee Perry, of Longmont.
M. G. Rice brought the remains up from Denver to Longmont by auto hearse on Tuesday, and short funeral services were held at the Mountainview cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest.
