PALO

The community was saddened last week by the death of Frank Kendall, oldest son 
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kendall, of Ronald. He was nearly eighteen years old and 
was one of Ronald's most promising young men. His death was due to pneumonia. 
The funeral services were held Saturday from the Baptist church. Rev. J.B. 
McGinnes officiating in the absence of Rev. Buffum. The boys Sunday school 
class under the superintendency of Philip Markle of which he was a member, 
attended in a body, and the remains were tenderly laid to rest by young men, 
friends of the deceased. They were James Hargrave, Willard Knaggs, Bert Martin, 
Wilbur Youngs, Don Waldron and Orson Nielson.

In the passing of Frank Kendall, a young man of the highest moral excellence, 
Ronald loses a citizen who, had he lived to carry out the standard of 
principles so well marked in his character must have been an inspiration to all 
with whom he came in contact. He leaves to mourn his loss a father, mother, 
five brothers and two sisters besides other relates and many friends.

Burial in Palo cemetery.

Daily Sentinel, April 19, 1912:

Frank Kendall, 18 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kendall, Ronald, died at 7 
o'clock Thursday evening after an illness of three weeks. His death was caused 
by an attack of pneumonia. One of the bright and promising young men of the 
township, his demise is cause for unusual regret and sorrow among not only 
relatives but hosts of friends of the family.

Frank Kendall was born in Ronald and a graduate of the Palo high school. He had 
made the most of life, and was always at the fore in business and social 
circles. He belonged to the Ronald Dramatic club, and was one of the leading 
ones among those who acted the parts in the many dramas that they have put on. 
He was in the cast of the last play presented, and is a distinct loss to the 
society. His mother, Mrs. Fred Kendall is reported critically.

Funeral Saturday afternoon at one o'clock from the house and at 2 from the Palo 
church.
