MORE ABOUT THE DEATH OF KENNETH ROBINSON

The Republican a few days ago had an account of the death of Kenneth Robinson, but at the request of his aunt, Bessie Bragg, of Tulsa, Okla,, we publish the following: Mrs. B. T. Robinson, of lola, Kan., received the news of her son's (Kenneth M. Robinson Machine un Co., 135 Division) death in France at ‘ base hospital. Kenneth was a grandson of Madison Makeever and is a nephew of Warren Robinson. He was only 18 years old when he enlisted in the Machine Gun Co., and went in as bugler, was the bravest little soldier during that terrible battle of. the Argonne, Forest where they drove back the Germans without any help of tanks or artillery. He was gassed left exhausted at a Rest hospital and died December 12, “Somewhere in France.” His older brother Floyd enlisted in the Tank Corps and was sent overseas shortly before Christmas. Kenneth was born in Jasper county and made his home there until the family went to lola, Kansas.— Bessie Bragg, Tulsa, Okla.
