another reason was the splendid

TINY TOT FALLS ON PAIRING
KNIFE AND DIES FROM INJURY

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Corey of Olathe was plunged into
unconsolable grief Thursday evening
when the death angel entered their
home for the third time in six months
this time bearing away their baby
son Kenneth Spencer Corey. who
would have been three years old had
he lived till September 81, 1919.
After an afternoon of childish play
the little one went to the kitchen for
a piece of bread and butter. In child
ish eagerness he climbed to the bench
behind the table and later sat on the
table and as he ate picked up the
pairing knife that lay on the table be-
side him. Only minute later he lost
his balance and fell to the floor and
the pairing knife jabbed through the
right eye socket and penetrated the
brain. Everything in human power
was done to save the little life but to
no avail, death following in about
four hours after the accident.
The influenza epidemic took toll
from his household in the form of
baby Katherine and just recently a
tiny infant was laid away and the
parents are broken hearted from this
most terrible accident that has ever
shocked the community.
C. L. Hawley of Montrose had
charge of the funeral arrangements.
Rev. Jansen preached the funeral
sermon at the Baptist church at P.
NJ. Friday and the tiny form was
tenderly laid to rest in the Olathe
cemetery. The tenderest sympathy of
the entire community is extended to
the bereaved ones in these hours of
grief.
