Kentucky Post, Monday, 27 June 1910, page 5
Leonard Hand, 20, a well known young man of Dayton, was struck on the head with a baseball at the Union picnic of the Sunday schools of Bellevue and Dayton at the Diamond Star Grove, back of Rosedale, last Saturday and died from the effects of the blos at his home, Third st. about four hours later. He was playing ball with some of his companions and another set of boys were batting another ball about the field when it struck Hand just over the ear, rendering him unconscious.
He was revived with water and stimulants but ws suffering from pain as he had trouble with the ear on which he was hit and the blow must have affected the old injury. He was taken to his home in a carriage which was summoned from Covington and a doctor was called in but could give no relief and the young man died about the middle of the afternoon. He was a member of the Baraca class of the First Baptist Church.
The funeral of the young man will be held with services in the First Baptist Church at 1 pm tomorrow afternoon and the body will be interred in Spring Grove Cemetery.
DAYTON-The Baptist Baraca Class will meet at the church at 7:45 pm tonight to hold services for Leonard Hand, one of the members of the class, who was killed at the Sunday school picnic Saturday.
