Virginian-Pilot  May 29, 1917
Five-year-old Bernard Dray Kennedy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah A. Kennedy, 619 
Graydon Park, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon at 2:15 o’clock within a 
hundred feet of his home.
A new house is being erected near the Kennedy home. Yesterday afternoon little 
Bernard and several other children were playing around the house and Bernard 
climbed up on a heavy door frame that was leaning against the house. The heavy 
frame toppled over, falling on the child and crushing out his life. Death was 
almost instantaneous. His playmates screamed for help when the door frame fell 
on the little boy, and workmen in the house and neighbors rushed to the rescue. 
Their efforts, however, to revive the child were fruitless. Dr. George Myers was 
summoned, but the little boy was dead when he arrived. The body was viewed by 
Dr. K. S. Kight, coroner.
The funeral will take place at the residence, 619 Graydon Park, this afternoon 
at 4:30 o’clock, and will be conducted by Rev. Thomas Waters.
