Obituary.
KENNETH sovERHILL EARLE.

The uncertainty of life is at times
brought to as in such manner as to
impress itself with more than usual
significance. The deepest feelings of
the people of Edgerton have seldom
been reached as they were on Friday
of last week when the sad news came
of the death of Kenneth Soverhill
Earle.
Kenneth was in the prime of prom
Using, vigorous young manhood, the
years of stress and strain. Physically,
Kenneth was fortified by splendid gifts.
Tempermentally,. Kenneth was favored
as it falls to the lot of few to be fav-
ored. He scintillated good health,
courtesy, the real joy of living.
These qualities determined in Ken
meth a personality of unusual force.
Favored among his schoolmates he
graduated from the Edgerton high
school in 1916 as president of an excep-
tional class. To Kenneth this gradua-
tion was but a beginning. The fall of
1916 found him freshmen at Provi-
dence, R. l., in Brown university.
With the coming of the spring of
1917 there came days which tested the
temper of young Americanism. Those
were the days when the nations man.
hood proved that the chivalry of days
gone by was in our midst and needed
only cause to bring it forth On
April 6 of 1917 the u. S. declared war,
on April rs Kenneth Earle entered the
service of his country, becoming q
member of the United States Naval
Reserve Force in the second naval dis
trict, Newport, R. l. This courageous
young man served his country for
eighteen months and received his de-
tachmeEt from services Dec. 20, 1918
Since his discharge Kenneth had been
in attendance as a student at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Kenneth had been i'll but few days
prior to February q. Taking cold, evil
dences of influenza following with che
most malignant form of pneumonia de-
veloping, Kenneth died at the Univer-
sity infirmary.
All Edgerton mourned the death of
this deservedly popular young man.
When at the Congregational church the
casket was brought in, under the cover
of the Stars and Stripes, six jackies
serving as honorary pail bearers, six
fraternity brothers as bearers; when
young men in khaki solemnly marched
to seats and uncovered in the presence
of the dead; when a procession of
twenty-four brothers in Psi u. came to
pay respect to their highly esteemed
comrade; when the last sad rites were
said in eloquent words by Rev. Parr of
Eau Claire conveying appreciation,
love and hope; when the body of Ken
meth was tenderly consigned to its final
resting place, Fassett cemetery mot
even then was the spirit Of the depart
ed body gone from among us.
Those who knew Kenneth are one in
their feeling that life has meant more
because Kenneth was among them.
To the father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. B. Earle, to the brother and
sister, Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Earle, and
to each Borrowing relative host of
friends extend the most sincere sym
pathy.
