had died at the Massillon State Hospital, not at home. The death certificate was signed by the
State Hospital M.D. on 3/10/42, and the informant was listed as State Hospital

Mrs. Claus was very patient in her illness and never

to health. God needed her more than she was needed here on earth, so we must
bear it patiently.
Her pleasant greetings are missed by a host of friends. She

daughter.
Leora, dear from pain relieved
A golden crown in heaven received,
Leaves to mourn father, mother, brother, sisters two
A loving husband, a darling girlie, Linda Lou.
In her troubles she made peace with God
Before the long and lonely journey trod.
We miss her sweet and loving smile
As we saw her happy, jolly all the while.
She liked to toil in house, on farm
To pass her time in work she saw no harm.
Of lovely flowers at her home there was no end
Many an hour with them she did spend.
Now her loving hands are laid at rest
God in His wisdom knowest best.

MT. VERNON OIL WORKER
BURNS IN WRECKED CAR
Body Identified as That of
Hilgreth Kinkade, Oil
Worker,
Car Had Hit Tree
Hildreth Kinkade, 28, an oil worker at Mt. Vernon, Ill.,
was found burned in his car at the foot of Patterson Hill south of Carbondale
last night.
The body was burned beyond recognition. Blood stains were reported on the side of
the car.
At the Bledsoe residence, 703 Casey street, Mt. Vernon,
where Kinkade made his home, it was said that he was last seen there at 6:15
p.m. when he left in his car, a 1938 Terraplane.
Two Centralians named Thomas and Lewis reported the car
fire at Carbondale. When firemen
arrived at the scene the car was still burning. The Centralia men had attended a bowling game at Anna last night.
It had hit a tree.
One forward fender was bent. The
car was in low gear and the brake was on when firemen approached it and took
out Kinkade's body.
The Parker undertaking establishment has the body. An inquest was timed to begin at 3 p.m.
today.
D. R. Kinkade of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, brother of the deceased,
is expected to arrive today and take charge of arrangements. It is expected that the body will be buried
in Oak Lawn cemetery, Carbondale.
Deceased is survived also by the mother, Mrs. Mary Kinkade
of Erie, Penn.
Pending the inquest late today law officers were reported
engaged in an investigation meant to solve perplexing circumstances pertaining
to the death.
Indications were that the car had not hit the tree hard
enough to injure the occupant, and one report today is that Kinkade may not
have been alone when his car ran over the edge of the pavement onto the
shoulder, or was pushed there.
Officers were called to the undertaker's at Carbondale this
morning. At that time it was reported
that a more thorough examination of the body was to be made.
One unverified report was that a wound and been found in
the body that could have caused Kinkade's death prior to the time when the car
burned.
