There is a conflict between this obituary and his death
certificate. The death certificate shows
his age as “Death Age: 69 years 3 months 6 days,” and that he 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 Records.

A golden crown

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

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.

A happy afternoon spent

instantly when he ran in front of the family car as his mother was putting it

He was pronounced dead at Mercy hospital of a crushed chest. He had darted in front of the car driven by
Mrs. Clara Midcap, despite her warning to him and two other children to
"stay behind" the car as she placed it in the garage.
The older children,
Bessie 7, and Howard, 4, were witnesses to the tragedy but stood by helpless as
the front wheel of the car passed over their brother's body.
Patrolmen F. W. O'Brien
and Francis LeMaster said the family had been
swimming during the afternoon to escape the heat of the day and had returned a
short time previous to the accident.
Although the accident occurred
on private property and will not be included in the total of city traffic

In addition to the
parents and the brother and sister, two other brothers, Harold and Earl,
