Oh,

Levina Ann Sorenson nee Kinkade
Source: Stark
The following life sketch and
obituary was read at the service.
Into the home of David and Mary Cronin Kinkade on October
9, 1857, came a daughter whom they named Levina Ann. In that home were three brothers and two sisters, Joseph, Andrew,
Arounah, Levina Ann and Paulina Jane.
But with the birth of the sister, Paulina Jane, came the death of the
mother in 1860. Later, in 1865, a new
mother came into the home, and with the advent of younger brothers and sisters
many and heavy cares developed unto the oldest daughter, but she was always
glad to do what she could.
Early in life she became a Christian, uniting with the
Christian Church. When she married Edgar
D. Claybaugh, Dec. 9, 1875, she became a member of the
February 4, 1887 she was left a widow with five children to
care for and a home not quite her own, but she continued a cheer-maker, a
song-bringer and a noble Christian mother to her children. In March 1890 she was married to Christie
Sorenson and she again assumed a big responsibility in the care of his five
motherless children. To this union three
children were born. But it again seemed
that a time of trial was due for her, for on Dec. 5, 1926, she was again left a
widow, but the widow's God had been her stay and had not left her defenseless.
Quietly and peacefully, after months of physical suffering
and weakness, she slept away, death coming at 10:25 a.m. Thursday. She leaves to mourn the following
children: Grace G. Claybaugh, Claude C.
Claybaugh, Mrs. Thomas H. Pyle, and Mrs. William O. Goodwin, all of
She was a woman who loved her home and family intensely
although she was quiet and unassuming.
Throughout the years, in sunshine or shadow, in joy or sorrow and often in
hardship, she always remained true and faithful to her God, and always went
about her work with a song upon her lips and faith in her heart.

BURKHART IS FOUND DEAD
WAR VETERAN TAKES OWN LIFE WITH RIFLE AT BROWN'S
GULCH -- Jacob Burkhart,42 year old bachelor veteran of the World war was found
dead in his Brown Gulch cabin late Wednesday, the lower part of his head shot
away by a high
powered rifle.
All indications pointed to suicide and Acting
Coronor Eugene McCarthy said he was satisfied that the man had killed
himself. He apparently had placed the rifle barrel in his mouth and
discharged the weapon.
Burkhart's body was discovered by a neighbor boy who
passed the cabin where the man had lived alone. Investigating, McCarthy
said he found no notes or other evidence left by the man to indicate that he
contemplated suicide. Burkhart's brother, who lives only a short distance
away from the place where the body was found, said that Jacob had suffered a
partial stroke recently and had been despondent since. Burkhart had been through several major
battles in the World war.
The remains were brought to theWaggener &
Campbell Funeral Home to be prepared for interment.

month and 21 days. She was united in
marriage June 9, 1928, to Arch Leach. To
this union was born five children:
Homer Rex, 8; Arch Neil, 7; Gervis Rollens, 5; Florence Carol, 3; and
Barbara Jean, one month and 19 days; who are left without a mother at a very
young and tender age. The father and
young husband is left to miss his kind, loving and devoted help mate. Her father and mother and one sister are also
left. So sadly bereaved that human
words of sympathy cannot ease their aching hearts. Three brothers and one sister have gone on before her to the home
beyond the skies. Hazel s home, husband
and children were her first thought.
She sacrificed her sweet young life for all. If she had lived her allotted three score years and ten she could
have done no nobler. She has done what
she could. The Master will say well
done, Hazel.
Dearest Hazel thou has left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But tis God that hast bereft us
He will all our sorrows heal;
For in heaven we hope to meet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
CARD OF THANKS
We also take this means of thanking all our neighbors
and friends who so kindly assisted us at the time of our bereavement. Also thanking the singers and Rev. Walters
