 Denison  The Sunday Gazetteer Sunday, January 12, 1890 Resulted Fatally Mr. Kenna, the carpenter found down in Red River bottom on Friday week in a state of stupefied inertia from the effects of exposure, died Sunday night at 10 o'clock at his home in the southwestern part of the city. Kenna was in the habit of getting upon periodical sprees and in one of these he wandered away on Sunday night week and for days all efforts to find where he had gone proved unavailing. On Friday of the same week, however, a man hunting in the woods near the mouth of the Shawnee came upon a man almost entirely naked sitting upon a log and unable to move or speak. This man was Kenna, and though eh was at once taken in charge and carefully attended he died as above stated, two days later. The funeral took place from his former residence on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the remains being interred at Oakwood. The deceased was 50 years of age and unmarried. He leaves property, it is said, to the value of about $2000.    OAKWOOD CEMETERY
