L.N. KITCHEN DEAD
L.N. Kitchen, who had been ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sherman Crouch, for a couple of weeks, passed away Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. Heart disease was the cause of death.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Christian church, Rev. H.S. Hoefflin, of the M.E. church, preaching the funeral sermon. The services were largely attended, all the business houses closing as a mark of respect to the deceased. Burial was in Sunny Side cemetery.
Mr. Kitchen came to Oklahoma shortly after the opening of the Cherokee Strip. For a time he was engaged in business in Lahoma, selling out three years ago on account of ill health, since which time he has lived in Texas and New Mexico. He returned here a month ago and was taken ill and was in a critical condition for a couple of weeks before his death.
Louis Nordike Kitchen was born in Carter county, Ky., October 16, 1844. Died in Lahoma, Okla., November 27, 1910. In the year 1864 he was united in matrimony to Elizabeth A. Bond, a playmate from infancy, and a faithful wife and mother to the time of her death, which occurred in 1885 and for whom he never ceased to mourn.
He was the father of 9 children, six of whom survive him. They are: Mrs. Sherman Crouch, Mrs. Bert Zirkle and Charles Kitchen, of Lahoma; Mrs. Lucy Rayl of Savannah, Mo.; Mrs. Joy Travis of Santa Barbara, Calif.; and Mrs. Ella Richardson of Kingman, Ks. The children were all present at his death except Mrs. Travis and Mrs. Rayl.
When quite young he became a member of the Christian church, to which he was a devoted member during the remainder of his life. At different times during his last illness, he expressed himself as ready and anxious to meet his Savior and be joined with his loved ones who had gone on before. His last request was that the same song, "O, Happy Day" that was sung when he united with the church, be sung at his funeral. We rejoice to know that he died as he had lived, "In the hope of a blessed immortality."
