PAUL B. KEBIL EXPIRES TODAY IN BETHESDA

Paul B. Kebil, 52, Seneca, Md., formerly of Fairfield and Gettysburg, a veteran of World War I, died this morning at the Navy Medical Center, Bethesda, Md. He had been in ill health for over two years and was admitted to the hospital in June.

Mr. Kebil was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Kebil, Fairfield. He enlisted in the army in July, 1918, and was discharged November 21, 1919, after serving overseas.

At one time he operated Kebil's Inn, west of Gettysburg, for a number of years and later sold that property and took over the Fairfield hotel from his father. Several years ago, due to illness, he sold the hotel and moved to Seneca where, after about a year of medical care, he recovered sufficiently to begin work again and established a boat-building business near his home on the Potomac River.

At one time he was employed by the Ugite road material company here, and then operated the Atlantic service station on Buford Avenue for some time. After selling the station he secured Hershey Park.

At Seneca, in addition to the boat building business, he had started construction of the Angler Sporting Store, which was just about completed when he was taken to the hospital in June.

Mr. Kebil was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Fairfield, and the Albert J. Lentz Post, the American Legion, and the Fairfield fire company.

Surviving are his widow, the former Hannah Minnich; two sisters, Mrs. Lewis Brinton, Harrisburg, and Mrs. Guy Sanders, New Baltimore, Md., and one step-daughter, Mrs. Joseph Imber, Philadelphia.
