William "Bill" Allen Fagan 

April 2, 1944 - July 26, 2019

There will be no services for longtime Lamar resident William A. Fagan, affectionately known to his family and friends as Bill, per his request. 

Bill was born April 2, 1944 at Bristol, Colorado, to William and Cora (Turpin) Fagan and passed away July 26, 2019, at his home in Lamar with his family by his side at the age of 75. 

One of the Weisbrod Hospital Auxiliary Nursing Home projects these past two years was to hang a different quilt each month for the enjoyment of the residents, staff and visitors. These quilts were made by various, very talented ladies and groups from different communities and elsewhere.

For the month of June, the Auxiliary wanted to honor the fathers and grandfathers for Father's Day.

Did you father ever wear a tie to work, church, dances, or on an evening out with his best "gal" - your Mother?

The Kiowa County Public Library blasted through July with 67 registered summer reading participants, which was an eight-year record! We offered six sessions of fun, with a grand total of 293 attendees, as we explored the space theme, "A Universe of Stories." The children got to learn about the solar system, constellations, rockets, galaxies, moon shapes, and many other things!
