8AFB 1921 Mansfield, Ohio

Operator: Kenneth Bloor Kemble, son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Kemble, Carpenter Road, died Sunday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock following an illness of two weeks with an attack of pneumonia.
Kenneth was a sophomore in the Ashland College, and the day following his 20th birthday, he was stricken with the disease. He was brought to his home and everything possible to sustain life was done for him. However, double pneumonia developed and he gradually grew worse until death resulted.
He was a graduate of Mansfield High School class of 1921, and during his young life was greatly interested in the operation of radio.
His first set up was at  the age of 13, but the world war broke out ten days after he had it in operation, causing a suspension.
Kenneth was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, becoming such under the pastorate of Dr. T. W. Gross,
and since entering Ashland College he gained aspirations toward entering the ministry, which death has interrupted.

Kenneth Bloor Kemble, 8AFB, died while he was a college student, Silent Key (December 19, 1902 – December 30, 1923).
