This community was shocked last Friday morning by the sudden death of Kenneth Baysinger. The sleet and wind storm of Thursday night broke several electric light poles on Mercy street, in Northeast Shullsburg, dropping the live wires close to the ground. While on his way to school Friday morning Kenneth grasped one of the wires where it crossed the sidewalk, and the powerful current caused his almost instantaneous death. The wire carried about 2,300 volts.
Walter Kenneth Baysinger was born at Manchester, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1911, and came here with his parents when about three years old. He is survived by his parents and three sisters, Florence, Ethel and Helen.
Funeral services were held at the M.E. church Sunday afternoon, Rev, Griffiths officiating. Kenneth was a member of the Boy Scouts, and that organization in uniform, accompanied their comrade to his last resting place in Evergreen cemetery, six of them acting as pallbearers- Shullsburg Pick and Gad.
