Catlett Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, February 10, 1938 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 the Rev. Wilcox, the 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 apartments 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 and Mrs. Elva Ewing Catlett, born in Owingsville, December 12, 1877. He grew up here and received his elementary education in the local schools, later entering Kentucky Military Institution, 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.
