“Carl Debord, a Creston native who farmed north of there for years,
died Oct 13, 2000 in Yuma, AZ. At his request, there was no service. Inurnment
was in the Debord family plot at Creston. The El Sariba Shriners plan a memorial
service at a later date in Arizona. Born
March 17, 1917 in Creston, he was a prominent citizen of Lincoln County,
belonging to the Washington Association of Wheat Growers, and serving many years
on the boards of Lincoln Electric Cooperative and Inland Power and Light Co.

Creston, then transferring to the El Sariba Shrine in Yuma when he retired and
purchased a home there. He and his wife had been ‘snowbirds’ there for
several years before moving permanently. He found the desert environment much
kinder to his asthma and arthritis. They
enjoyed traveling, including a trip one winter through the southern states
during which he visited his parents’ birthplace in Kentucky and continued to
trace ancestry in Virginia. He leaves his wife of nearly 30 years, Haroldine
Debord, at the Yuma, AZ, home; tow sons, Cecil Debord of Creston, and Claude
Debord of AZ; two step-daughters, Patricia Rae Bradley of Yuma, and Frances
Landt of Missoula, MT; several
