For some weeks the death of A. G. Kennon has been daily expected. For several years he has been failing in health and about three months ago he was taken much worse and never regained his strength. He said in the fall, "I do not expect to live through the winter." His friends thought his pluck and energy would pull him through, but he contended it would not. The disease that coursed his death was the result of la grippe, contracted several years ago and for the past few months suffered a great deal of pain and he welcomed the peaceful end of a long an useful endeavor which came last Monday morning at the advanced age of 71 years, 2 months, and 21 days.
