Obituary- Kerwin, Robert

The many friends of Robert Kerwin will be grief stricken to learn that so staunch and true friend has departed this life into that which knows no sorrow or pain, Oct. 25, 1914. His death was the termination of several months of patient suffering caused from laryngitis, although the best of medical skill in Topeka and St. Margaret's hospital of Kansas City was of no avail to him. He was well prepared to meet his God.
