William I. Kidd

KIDD, Will L. - A very sudden and extremely sad death was that of

Will L. Kidd which occurred about 3 o’clock Monday evening at his mother’s

residence in this city. He was about 24 years of age and appeared to be

vigorous and strong. He was taken with pneumonia Saturday and before

his sickness was generally known he passed away. He was a printer by

trade and was the best of his age and experience ever in this section. The

funeral took place from the family residence Tuesday Rev. J.J. Vaulx conducting

the services in a very impressive manner, after which a large number

of people followed his remains to their last resting place in Evergreen

cemetery. His widowed mother has the deepest sympathy of all our people.
