Kenneth Martensen Dies Very Suddenly Thursday Afternoon

Like a thunderbolt from a sunlite sky came the word from the L. T. Martensen home at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, that Kenneth, the 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Martensen had passed away very suddenly of throat trouble. For the past few days Kenneth had complained of his throat and a specialist was called but no danger was anticipated. Yesterday afternoon he was taken suddenly worse and as his mother was doing all in her power to relieve him, he passed away. As we go to press no arrangements have yet been made. The grief-stricken family surely have the heart-felt sympathy of the entire city and community.
