Mr. [John] Chinoweth [Chenoweth] was born in Camden County, Mo., 20 May 1876. He departed this life the 22 March 1917 and was laid to rest in the old Trinity graveyard [West Fork cemetery] near his home.

In the passing of Mr. Chinoweth[Chenoweth] we have an example of where the hale
and hardy and comparatively young are taken quickly. Some eight days before death he was taken with la grippe and about 30 hours before the last trouble developed into pneumonia from which he died. This was the second time in life that he had a physician called for his benefit.

At the tender age of eight years, Mr. Chinnoweth[Chenoweth] was left fatherless.
Two years later, the mother with the son and a daughter emigrated to Texas and a few years from this time the little family purchased a farm in the Live Oak school district which has since been their home. The mother[Lila Chenoweth, died 23 March 1915 at the age of 77 years] preceded the son to the grave beyond precisely two years to a day.

Ten years ago last September, Mr. Chinoweth was married to Miss Agnes Cass [Smith shows Cast]. To this union seven children were born, four of whom still survive.

While Mr. Chineoweth[Chenoweth] has not affiliated with any church for the last few years he was a Baptist in religious faith. He leaves his wife, three sons [George William, 2 years, Albert Houston, 9 years, and a daughter [Margaret
Elizabeth, 4 years]; one sister Ð Mrs. Bell Lowe. Andy Sortar of Cundiff is an uncle of the deceased. [he and his wife, Mary M., will die 19 Sept. 1923].

It is not enough to say to the bereaved family that they have the sympathy of many friends. Let us show our sympathy by our works. The widow and the orphans need our care. [no stone was located in the West Fork cemetery]
