(21 May 1954 - 22 May 1954)

1 _MDCL Died at birth due to inhaling mucus during C-section; unable to aspirate.


Baptized in hospital at birth by Reverend William J. Burke, and the godparents were John and Elizabeth Greenway. Kevin was a C-section, and inhaled mucus as he was being removed from the womb. They were unable to aspirate the fluid from the lungs. This is the same problem that caused the death of President John F. Kennedy's child, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, for additional research.

Photos were left in Ruth Marie Dillon's family album of the baby in his coffin. He was buried in the Dillon family plot in Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock. He now has a tombstone.
