Individual Details

Aunt Maude signed the funeral register of Kenney Comstock as Maude "Redmon" so I presume that is the correct spelling.

Most family databases state his birth took place in Oklahoma, but the following census show Arkansas. His obit had several errors, including that he was born in Indian Territory and it had the names of his parents slightly incorrect.

Hall of Stilwell, former pastor of the local church, will officiate. Masons will be in charge of the service at the grave.

Mr. Remon's body, with a bullet wound through the head, was found in the vault of the post officer here early Tuesday. Although the death had been described by authorities as suicide, officials Tuesday night were investigating the possibility that Mr. Redmon was shot accidently. It was said that a pistol had been kep in a drawer in the vault and that it might have been discharged accidentally when Mr. Redmon opened the drawer.
Mr. Redmon, prominent in Republican politics in Sequoyah county and an outstanding citizen of Sallisaw, appeared in a cheerful mood when he opened the post office Tuesday morning. Neither members of his family, nor friends could ascribe a motive for suicide.
