DEATH CLAIMS DAVID KENWARD
 
The community was greatly shocked Monday to receive the word of the death of 
David Kenward, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira W. Kenward, who had just left 
Payette last Thursday to resume his studies at the University of Utah.  He 
went from here to Melba to visit a sister and took the train at Nampa that 
night.  In the same car was L. W. Robinson, local jeweler, and they were 
companions on the trip from there.
 
Mr. Robinson says that after leaving Pocatello, David complained of feeling 
ill and soon took with a chill.  This was followed later by fever and by the 
time they reached Salt Lake he was quite sick.  Mr. Robinson accompanied him 
to the home of his sister and a doctor was summoned.  As David grew worse his 
mother was sent for and a consultation of physicians was held.  They decided 
that he was suffering from a ruptured tumor of the brain.  He was removed to 
St. Mark's Hospital where he passed away Monday morning at five o'clock, his 
condition being beyond the aid of medical science.
 
David Westbrook Kenward was born in Payette, August 25, 1909, and passed away 
September 9, 1929, at the age of 20 years and 14 days.  He was a graduate of 
the Payette High school with the class of '28, and had one year of study in 
the Utah University.  He was not only a bright student, but he was a young man 
of splendid character and lovable personality.  He commanded the respect of 
his elders and the highest esteem of his schoolmates.  He was a member of 
Calanthe Myrtle Lodge No. 1, Knights of Pythias, at Salt Lake and of the 
Pythian Sisters Temple there.  He was also a member of Willow Grange.  He is 
survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Kenward; one brother, John 
Kenward, a law student at Salt Lake; and four sisters, Mrs. Elmer Nesbit, of 
Gross, Idaho; Mrs. S. L. Cato; of Salt Lake, Utah, Mrs. W. M. Ritchey, of 
Melba, Idaho; and Miss Nellie Kenward of Payette.
 
The high esteem in which David was held was evidenced by the large gathering 
at the funeral service at the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon and the 
profusion of beautiful floral offerings.  Rev. Albert B. Parrett preached a 
touching sermon and the services at the grave were in charge of the Knights of 
Pythias lodge and were beautiful indeed.  Interment took place at Riverside 
cemetery and he was laid beside a sister, Mrs. Olive Sargent, who passed away 
a few years ago.
