    Brother Kenyon experienced religion in youth, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Richburg. When his country called for volunteers in the late civil war, he enlisted; but his constitution was not equal to the hardships of camp life, and he was honorably discharged, but never recovered good health. Last spring his health failed so much that he was unable to do much hard work. He has maintained a Christian character that won the esteem of all who knew him. He leaves a wife and child, and a numerous circle of relatives and friends, to mourn his loss. L. A.
