Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 8, 1933 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Prominent Richland Man Passes - Frank A. Kenyon, 47 - Frank A. Kenyon, for many years a prominent resident of Richland, died at his home there at 3:20 last Friday afternoon. Mr. Kenyon had rallied Thursday from an illness of two weeks, but suffered a relapse Friday morning and passed away that afternoon. Mr. Kenyon was born in Watertown February 25, 1886, the son of Mrs. Mattie Averill Kenyon of Richland, and the late Ellis Kenyon. At the age of two the family moved to Richland and there he had lived practically ever since. For many years he was in the service of the New York Central, having entered its employ then a youth of 17. With the exception of a term of four years which he served as postmaster at Richland, and five years, during the war, when he and his family lived in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was employed by the McKinney Steel Company, he had been in the railroad company's employ. Mr. Kenyon had long been identified with Richland's civic life and was well known in this part of the county. At the time of his death he was serving on the town board as a justice of the peace, which position he had held for ten years; president of the Richland board of education, and president and chief of the Richland voluntary fire department. Mr. Kenyon suffered an attack of influenza about two weeks ago. From this he showed some improvement and sat up for a short time, but early last week cerebral meningitis developed. Surviving besides his widow, Elizabeth Phillips Kenyon, are two sons, William and Frank A., Jr.; one sister, Mrs. Allen Doneburg of Perry, New York; and his mother, Mrs. Mattie Kenyon of Richland. The funeral was private at the home Monday afternoon with Rev. H. H. Barnard, pastor of the Richland Methodist church, officiating. The burial was in the family plot in Pulaski cemetery.
