Lavine, Kenneth E.P. (1 APR 1916 – 15 JAN 1938)

Kenneth Lavine, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Lavine, died an accidental death at his home northwest of this city (Owen, Clark Co., Wis.), last Saturday evening when a 30-30 caliber rifle accidentally discharged and fatally wounded him. He was searching in a dark closet for a pair of gloves when he bumped into he loaded rifle discharging it, the bullet struck him just below the heart. With him at the time of the accident, were his wife, Edna, and one-year-old son, Kenneth Jr., and his 11-year-old brother-in-law. He lived about 30 minutes after being shot.

Kenneth Elmer Peter was born April 1, 1916, at Iron Belt, and grew to manhood in Owen, where he held the true friendship of all that knew him. He attended the Owen schools and was prominent in band work. He was of a likeable disposition, big-hearted and generous. His death is a loss, not only to his family, but to his young friends. For the past two years he had been operating a dray service and coal business here.

Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at the Griebenow-Weirich Funeral Parlors, with Rev. W. L. Anderson officiating at the service. Interment will be made in Riverside Cemetery.

He is survived by his bereaved wife and son; his parents, one sister, Mrs. Robert Kuehnast, two brothers, Gerald and Melvin.

Pallbearers at the service will be Raymond Rogalski, Louis Miller, Ray Miller, Roy Miller, Arnold Schopfer, and Kenneth Mathewson.
