Little Kenneth's illness dated back to January 20th, 1913. He contracted scarlet fever and diphtheria in a malignant form. While convalescing contracted rheumatism with resulted in leakage of the heart. He seemed strong and robust, however, until he contracted influenza January 30th, 1920. He recovered, only to take pneumonia, and after a time recovered again, but the dreaded rheumatism returned. He lay for three weeks helpless. Again, he rallied, was able to be about for a time, but complained of a pain in his heart or side. He was unable to lie down for three weeks. He never recovered from the pain but was able to lie down again. He was brought to the Red Cross hospital April 3d. He was conscious, answsered questions, greeted his mother by saying, "Why, hell mama, when she arrived at his bedside a few minutes before he died April 5th about 9 p.m. The little body was prepared and shipped to Texas Creek by Undertaker L. B. Stewart, who showed much sympathy and did many kind deeds to comfort the sorrowing mother. Little Kenneth had a charming, cheerful disposition, was very bright and industrious in his school work in Cotopaxi's consolidated schools where he was a pupil. He was a favorite among his school mates. All loved him who knew him. The school was closed so his teacher could attend the funeral and buril services which were held in the upper Texas Creek school house, Friday, April 9th, at 10 a. m. His teacher, Miss Jane McCormick, was the organist, and the little girls sang his favorite hymns. The floral offerings were beautiful and the little body was lowered to its last resting place in the Hillside cemetery by this school mates. The pall bearers were Lawrence Noble, Dane Black, Willie Mahrs, Floyd Clark, Monroe Cooper, and Robert Eddington. Rev. Q. W. Brakebill, of the Methodist church, conducted the services.
