Obituary

Kansan, Saturday, March 31, 1917

The family as well as friends were greatly shocked on receiving the sad news of the sudden death of Minor Underwood, Sr., which occurred shortly after 7 o'clock Friday morning in the west yards, about 15 minutes after leaving home.

He had a severe attack of asthma Christmas night and since then has been doctoring, yet able to work. He was getting along so nicely and feeling so well he thought he was about cured of the aggravating disease. He said just before leaving the house that he felt better than he had felt for a long time, and did not thing it was necessary to continue treatment.

He was born in Trenton, Kentucky, March 15, 1843. He served a year and six months in the Civil war and at the close was honorably discharged.

He was married to Miss Belle Hollin of Trenton, Kentucky, May 17, 1873. To this union eleven children were born, six of whom have preceded him to the great beyond.

He was a faithful member and deacon of the Second Baptist church, a member of G. U. O. of O. F. lodge, a loyal citizen, husband and father.

He leaves to mourn his loss a loving wife, four daughters, one son, two grandchildren, one sister of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and a host of other relatives and friends.

The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. J. W. Gordon and W. H. Garnett at the Second Baptist church Monday afternoon at 2:30.
