THE CITIZEN, FLORENCE, FREMONT COUNTY, COLORADO - NOVEMBER 5, 1942
DEATH THURSDAY OF C. I. DAVIES BLOW TO COMMUNITY
The untimely death last Thursday evening of Craddock I. Davies, labor leader and district president of the United Mine Workers of America, was a shock to the entire community, which believed he might recover from injuries received in an accident at the Colorado Portland Cement Co., quarry last Tuesday afternoon when he was hit by the electric trolley car whose operator failed to see him and a companion until too late to stop the car.
....In his death the community has lost a leader in civic life, a man of upstanding character who was respected by all with whom he came in contact. Quiet and unassuming, he had the force of character which commanded the liking and respect of all the men under him.
....Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Monday afternoon at 2:30 with the Rev. E. H. Hoffman presiding. An abundance of beautiful flowers filled the church, which was packed to capacity with friends from all over the state, including many UMWA officials and their families.
