Memorial services for Cyril J. Barber were held at the Holy Name Catholic Church in Steamboat Springs at 2 p.m., Wednesday, May 13. They were conducted by Father Frank Ciaptacz. Organ music was provided by Mary Beeve.
Barber passed away May 1, 1981 at the age of 77 in the hospital in Mesa, Ariz. Cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Barber had been in poor health for the past two years, suffering recently from near-blindness and emphysema.
Following his death, he was cremated. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be given to the American Federation of the Blind, c/o Jack Sprengle, Routt County National Bank, Box 1237, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.
Born in Steamboat Springs on Aug. 8, 1904, Barber was the son of Harley F. and Thomas Barber. His father was a school teacher and freighter, bringing goods from Wolcott into Routt County.
Barber married Imogene E. Heid on Feb. 20, 1936. They lived on the Barber place on River Road in a house built by Elmer Baer. They later moved to a ranch on the Mesa, running sheep and cattle on 840 acres.
An ardent hunter and fisherman, he was a highly respected member of the Routt County ranching community. He was a member of both county and state cattlemen's associations and served as the county representative on the RE-2 School Board for a number of years.

In 1965 Barber took up golf on the course adjacent to his Mesa home. Until his health failed, he played every day, scoring two holes-in-one.
Until 1978, he would return to Colorado in the summers helping with the irrigating on his former ranch property.
