With a heavy heart do we drop a tear to the memory of Loyd B. Kinnamon, who was born July 29, 1894, and died November 5, 1908, being 14 years 3 months and 9 days old. He had suffered for many years with a growth in the nostril and side of the face. Two operations to remove the growth had been performed before and he did not dread the third only what it would keep him from school. But thinking it best to perform the operation, he went to Stewart's hospital at Hutchinson, accompanied by his father, S. W. Kinnamon, where he never rallied from the operation. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of a host of loving friends and relatives. He was just approaching the years of manhood and was in the trust sense brave, generous manly, and of a kind and loving disposition. his body was shipped to Plevna and the funeral services held there at the Congregational church, conducted by Rev. Lawrence Taylor, after which the remains were placed in the silent city at Hazen Cemetery. To the broken hearted father, mother, brothers and sisters, we extend our deepest sympathy.

Eugene Mullins, the 5 year old son of William Mullins, who was accidentally shot by his father a few days ago while target shooting, died at an early hour this morning at the Stewart Hospital.

While he was working with it the boy ran around in front and the charge was exploded at the same time, the bullet passing through his abdomen.
