L. E. Ketcherside
The column Letter to Christians will appear no more. Its author, L. E.
Ketcherside, has been called home. He died, as he lived, in the thick of the fight, with armor
buckled on, and his face toward the walls of Jerusalem. On October 23, he mimeographed 450
tracts for distribution in Bismarck, Missouri. The following morning he began taking the
message of truth from door to door. He covered but one short street when death stabbed at his
heart like a bolt from the blue, and he fell backward, the tracts fluttering to earth about his
prostrate form. He never breathed again. His earthly frame was committed to the ground on
Oct.27. He was the last of my father's brothers and sisters, and his death closed one chapter of a
family history which has given four proclaimers of the gospel to the church. My aunt Jennie will
continue to reside at 306 North Main, Farmington, Missouri.
