There are several Knoxville

anxious hearts counting days un-
til they can see their dear ones
return safe to the homes that are
waiting to welcome them. All
of our boys can't be first to come.
We must be patient and console
ourselves with the fact that the

The ; story Of the accident,
which resulted in the death of

lows: He was riding a bicycle
on the night of Nov. 19. on the
Rossville Boulevard, going to
Chattanooga Another boy, Ce-

both boys off. His companion
was not injured. outside of q few
bruises. but Kent was knocked
senseless, his right arm broken
in several places and his head
sustaining frightful fractures.
His upper jaw was fractured and
lower one broken. He re-
ceived internal injuries also. He
was rushed to a hospital and ev-
erything done for him possible,
but only once or twice in the
week before death mercifully
came. did he regain conscious
ness. and then just for a moment
or two.
He would have been fourteen
years old Dec. 9th, and was
held in high esteem. He had
worked as messenger boy for a
Chattanooga firm, and knew
thoroughly the rules of traffic and
could thread his way thru crowd
ed streets on his wheel with ease
and confidence. He and his COM
panion were going to Chattanooga
on the ill-fated night to see d
picture show of military events
in which he was greatly interest
ed. He had just purchased a
fine military uniform and the
body was clothed in this for in
termant. Pupils of his grade in
school purchased beautiful flo

sent by the driver of the car who
so unfortunately caused his death.
