KITCHEN, Arthur

On Sep 21, as the sun was coming up in the eastern horizon to fructify the 
earth, the gentle spirit of Arthur Kitchen slipped from its tenement of clay 
and returned to God who gave it. He had passed on life’s highway more than 
four score and five years when the summons came for him to leave his earthly 
abode and to come to that realm where pain and death are strangers and where 
the old grow young again. Ad David went forth to fight Goliath when a 
stripling of youth, so he when the call came in 1863, offered himself as 
volunteer in defense of this county. Though a mere youth, his gallantry won 
him recognition and at the close of the war his discharge speaks of his 
promotions.

 

Trice was he married and to these unions 26 children were born, 22 of whom 
survive. His whole life was spent in eastern Kentucky where his bereaved 
widow and a number of his children still live. He was a leader in the 
building of roads, in the promotion of schools and education, in the 
community in which he lived. He was the last of a large and prosperous 
family all of whom lived to a ripe old age. On Monday, Sep 22, his body was 
laid to rest in the family cemetery, surrounded by 18 of his children, his 
loving wife, who cared for him so patiently and tenderly during his long 
illness, a large number of grandchildren and a host of friends. The funeral 
services were conducted by Rev. Martin Berry, an aged patriarch in the 
service of God and Rev. William Crabtree, who spoke of the consecrated life 
of the deceased and urged all to live a life dedicated to the service of go.
