In Memoriam.

Lewis D. Kenton departed this life at his home near Kansas City, in the state of Kansas, Aug. 15tb, 1891, aged 76 years, 10 months and 14 days. He was born in Champaign County, Ohio, Sept. 30th, 1814 and when about 26 years of age removed to Jasper County, Indiana, being one of the pioneer settlers. Here he lived for 25 years. At the close of the war he sold out and removed to Kansas, where he resided at the time of his death. He was a man of integrity and enjoyed the universal respect and confidence of all who knew him. His plain, simple, honest life, full of kind deeds toward others is the most fitting testimonial ot his worth. His remains were brought back to his pioneer home and laid to rest in the Smith grave-yard, Barkley township, sincerely mourned by his aged sister, Mrs. Nancy Smith and by many other relatives and fr’ends. — —— - • * -
