Earlham

The funeral of Will Kenworthy, who died at the Methodist hospital on Monday morning, was held from the Friends church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Nelson preached the sermon, while Mrs. Lescault read the Bible lesson and obituary. Will Kenworthy was born and raised near Earlham and after his marriage to Mattie McKibban they resided near Earlham for several years but moved to Kansas, where he lived until last May. His wife died a few years ago and last spring he was married to Ida Zenor of Washington. The climate did not agree with him and shortly they came to Earlham, where they both had many friends, thinking that a change might be beneficial to him, but he steadily grew worse until the end came on the morning of the new year.

Mr. Kenworthy was a birthright member of the Friends church in Earlham, but had his membership transferred to the Friends church at Kansas. He lived a consistent Christian life and expressed his readiness to go to his Savior many times.

He leaves a wife and two children, the latter both married and live in Kansas. His wife will probably remain in Earlham for the present. She has the sympathy of relatives and friends.
