Son of John D & Margaret M, In Garden Township, Cherokee County, KS, See update below for death information

Dial lived his life with people thinking he was slow, dumb or called an idiot, he was to be committed to an idiotic asylum however, when viewing what the records say was wrong with him he had what is now called dyslexia and could have gotten help, no one back then knew what he had and just thought him to be dumb, it is sad to know that so many could have been helped if they had only known

I hope his life was a happy one, and not filled with sadness; Dial's grave was unmarked for many years, until a marker was placed by cousins,

Rest easy Dial, You will always be remembered

**A very sad update, while looking for information on another Karr family member, I found this note

Mrs. Karr, received a telegram stating that her son Dial, is dead at the Winfield Insane Asylum

Thank you Mom (June Karr Charles) for sponsoring this memorial
