IN MEMORIAM.
On Thursday Of last week, after the
ADVANCE issue had been partially
printed. the sad intelligence reached
US that DR.. D. l.. Kenyon had departed
this life, and that his remains would
I've inferred At Sycamore, Illinois, the
home of his father, on the Saturday
following. We could only give. in our
last paper, a very brief mention of the
fact which has made many hearts sad
in our community.
David Lee Kenyon died in the 41st
year of his age at Sycamore, Illinois,
where he had gone in quest of the rest
from professional labors, which he
could not expect to fnd while staying
at home. Asout six weeks ago he was
taken with an int, mittent fever, and,
after three weeks, had sufficiently re-
covered to think Of returning to his
home. He was then Frustrated with
typhoid fever, which proved too much
for his enfeebled frame. Devoted
physicians, nurses and other friends
did all that skill and affection could do
to save his life, but al did not avail.
He was graduated from the Medical
Department Of the Northwestern Uni
versity at Evanston, H., March 5, 1873.
He practiced his profession first at
Maple Park, ILL.,, not far from his early
home. lie WAS married to Mrs. Plumb
in 1852, and came to Wortltington in
1884. Here lie has lived until a few
weeks ago, when he left, expecting to
return in u short time in improved
h a:th and strength to resume his
business.
In early life Dr. Kenyon professed
faith in Christ, and united with the
Methodist Episcopal church, coming
mere with his letter to the local church,
and ever since has been lot only a CON-
sistent member. but also Il generous
supporter, and an active participant
in all the work of that church in the
town of WorthinQton.
For several years he was member of
the Board of Education III Worthing-
ton, and for at least part of his years
of service was its President. During
his last illness he was again elected to
another term Of service on the Board
Ito was also a worthy member of the
Masonic Fraternity aud of the Order
Of United Workmen.
DR.. Kenyon was Of quiet and mod
est disposition, a man of deeds, rather
than Of words. lie was always where
his duty called him to be, though If
public his voice was heard only whel
imperatjvely called to take a public
part. As physician he was faithful
and skillful, his kind and gentle man
ners Inspiring his patients with boil
confidence and personal attachment
They always felt that he was persona
friend rs we'll as medical adviser
and in many a household where lie hat
ALWAYS been heartily welcome, homes
tears fell when his death was an.
nounced. His death, occurring in tn
full strength Of mature manhood, il
the midst Of his active service as
physician, church member. and public
spirited citizen, is universally de-
plored. All were his friends. only ,
very bad man could have been hi
enemy.

Rev. VIM. Brown. All are invited I,

so valuable that a sense of loss will fiji
the MINDS Of the members If this s.,
ciety, in which they have the sympathy
of all the churches and other citizen
or the community.
