Kenneth Thompson Takes Own Life
Kenneth I. Thompson, 26, was believed to have committed suicide at his farm home four miles north and two miles east of Goodland sometime Friday night or Saturday morning.
Mr. Thompson early Friday afternoon told his wife, who is caring for the children at the home of her parents in Goodland because of illness, he would be back in Goodland Sunday noon.
When he failed to return, Mrs. Thompson, accompanied by her father, Charles Adams, went to the farm home and found the body. They notified sheriff John Toelkes on their return to Goodland.
The suicide was attributed to despondency over sickness in the family as well as Mr. Thompson's own ill health.
As far as could be determined, Mr. Thompson shot himself sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
Thompson was born Sept, 20, 1924, in Sherman county. In former years, he was quite active in county 4-H work.
He was married to Phyllis Adams in 1942 and to this union three daughters, Linda Kay, Karen Sue, and Janet Alliene, were born.
In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Thompson of Edson; one brother, Harold, Olathe; and one sister, Mrs. Helen Owens, Edson.
Services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Christian church with the Rev. William Cook and the Rev. E.W. Burton officiating. Arrangements are being made by the Sage Funeral Home. Burial will be in the Goodland cemetery.
Pallbearers for the funeral will be O.H. Andrew, Melvin Borgman, George Spomer, Lester Watkins, Warren Owens, and Jack Austin.

Ken's Mother Julia said that her son did not commit suicide. Ken was murdered and it was made to look like he commited suicide.
