CHARLES BURTON KIDNER

  Charles Burton Kidner of Boynton, who was born in Berlin, July 20, 1867, but 
lived most of his life in Salisbury, died in the Somerset State Hospital, Aug. 
6, aged 75 years and 10 days, of myocarditis.  He was a son of Henry and Ellen 
Rubright Kidner, and is survived by one brother, R. A. Kidner, of Salisbury.  He 
was never married, and from his early childhood suffered much from asthma.
  Most of his life was lived in Salisbury, and in spite of his affliction he 
worked in the coal mines of the Elk Lick region from his boyhood until well 
advanced in years.  Owing to prolonged illness, he was taken to the County Home 
within the last year, and later became an inmate of the Somerset State Hospital.
  A funeral service was conducted at Mortician Stanley M. Thomas' Funeral 
Parlor, last Saturday, in Salisbury, by Rev. S. D. Sigler.  Interment was in the 
Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery under the direction of Mortician Thomas.
