The cause of his death being a ruptured brain tumor which may have been the result of a jar when making a forced landing in an airplane the day prior to the time he was taken ill. He was in Nampa on Wednesday of last week and in company with a friend left Nampa in the plane for Boise, and due to engine trouble made a forced landing, but seemingly was not injured. At an early hour the following morning he took the train for Salt Lake to visit a brother and sister and while enroute he became very ill. L. W. Robinson of this city, who happened to be with him on the train, assisted him to the home of his sister, on arriving at Salt Lake, where he grew rapidly worse and passed away the following Monday. On receiving word of his serious illness, his mother left at once for Salt Lake, but arrived shortly after his death. David was born in Payette, August 25, 1909. He was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Kenward of Payette, and was an exceptionally bright young man, with very promising prospects for the future and his untimely departure is a severe shock not only to his parents and other relatives, but to a large circle of young folks with whom he has been associated here at Payette, where he has lived since birth. He graduated from the Payette high school with the class of 1928, and was also a student one year in the University of Utah. He was a member of the Calanshe Mertle Lodge No. 1, Knights of Pythias of Utah and Pythian Sister Temple of Salt Lake City, he was also a member of Willow Grange and Payette County Pamona Granger.
