Adams Co. Free Press, June 1, 1910
Miss Ruth Fillmore Kennon died at the home of her mother, Mrs. A. G. Kennon, in north Corning Sunday evening, May 29th, 1910. Miss Ruth was born in our city, July 19, 1892, and was aged 17 years, 10 months, and 10 days at the time of her death. Her entire life was spent in Corning. She attended the Corning schools and would have graduated with the class of this year, but on account of her illness had not attended school the past year. During her illness she took a great deal of interest in the work of her class and kept in touch with them throughout the year's work, even making close inquiry in regard to the closing examinations. When about 10 years of age, Miss Ruth joined the Presbyterian Church of Corning and she was a conscientious Christian girl who friends were limited only by her acquaintance. It was ever her desire to live that her life might be a benefit to the world and that the world would be better for her having lived. After the death of her father, March 10, 1891, Miss Ruth took a great interest in the affairs of the house and assisted her mother in many ways, being very thoughtful of others until she passed away her desire was to make others happy. Miss Ruth was taken sick with scarlet fever February 22, 1909, and when she was just getting about from the attack, she was taken with catarrh of the stomach and bowels and was never well afterward. She was about the house in an invalid chair, until Saturday afternoon of last week, when she was suddenly taken with a sinking spell and the end came as above states on Sunday. Besides her mother, Miss Ruth leaves two sisters, Helen and Elizabeth and a host of friends to mourn her departure. Funeral services were held at the home this morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. S. F. Gutelius, pastor of the Presbyterian church and interment was made in Walnut Grove Cemetery. The boys of the graduating classes acted as pall bearers.
