LA Junta Tribune
Readers of the Daily Democrat on June 7, 1921 fetched the morning paper to read a rather somber headline.
“F.T. Lewis Body Found,” followed by “Wife, Mrs. White and Little Girl are Still in River.”
Francis T. Lewis, a 58-year-old city engineer in La Junta and resident of Horse Creek, was popular among citizens living in the Valley according to the La Junta Tribune Democrat’s 50-year retrospect of the 1921 Flood published June 5, 1971. The bodies of Lewis wife, Frances, and Gertrude White, wife of Frank White, were found soon thereafter.
“(Lewis), his wife, Mrs. Frank White (her husband farmed Lewis’ place) and Mrs. White’s two nieces from Kansas had driven to a point near Fort Bent in order to view the flood,” according to the Tribune Democrat in 1971. “They were trapped by the ‘swell’ of water that had inundated North La Junta.”
