Obituary in the Princeton Ledger on May 20, 1927: EX-MAYOR M. R. KEVIL Claimed By Death - Funeral Here Sunday Largely Attended. "There's a garden of light full of Heaven's perfumes, Where never a tear drop is shed; Where the rose and the lilly are ever in bloom - 'Tis the beautif land of the dead." In the passing of M. R. Kevil, which occurred at Carnegie, Penn., Friday, May 20th, Princeton loses one of her best loved and finest citizens, for this city still claimed Mr. Kevil as her own, although he has for the past few years, made his residence in other communities. The word "Princeton" meant "home" to him and he hoped to make his abode here when his temporary work in the north was over. Mr. Kevil had been in failing health since the first of the year, but had been able to be about his work until just a few days before his death, the immediate cause od which was angina pectoris. Physicians had informed his loved ones of the gravity of his condition, but despite this fact the passing was a great shock. The remains were brought here and conveyed to the family residence , the impressive funeral service being conducted there by Rev. James T. Rushing, Sunday afternoon, and interment following at Cedar Hill Cemetery; the beautiful ritual of the Elk Lodge being used. Mathew Rice Kevil was the son of James E. and Nancy Bell Kevil who were pioneer residents. He was a representative of one of the county's oldest families, and was one of a family of ten children, eight sons and two daughters, only two of whom survive, he was sixty-four years of age and had spent most of his life in this city and county. Twenty years ago he was happily united in marriage to Mrs. Grace Lyon Beeler, who with two brothers, A. B. Kevil of Rockport, Kentucky, and J. E. Kevil of Colorado survive. In her early youth, a neice, Miss Rosalind Roach was taken into the Kevil home, where she found the love and tenderness accorded a daughter, and to her, as well as the bereaved widow and brothers, our sympathy is extended. The deceased has been identified with the business interests of this city for many years, and few men have enjoyed a more enviable reputation for ability and general popularity than he. For twenty years he was connected with the Princeton Shoe Company , for sixteen years as its owner. He served the city well in the capacity of Mayor, and was a man of commendable public ability. After severing his connection with the Shoe Store, Mr. Kevil took up road building which vocation he followed for several years. In 1924 he was appointed receiver for banks that had failed, and in a short time developed a comprehensive knowledge of the science of banking and its practical working. He had satisfactorily wound up the affairs of banks at Bluffton and Springfield, Ohio, and at Beaver, Waynesbury and Carnegie, Penn., the latter city being his place of residence for the past year. Mr. Kevil was a consistant member of the Central Presbyterian Church of which he had been a communicant for several years. His friends were in all walks of life, amoung both young and old and his passing away has caused community wide regret. |

Notes for Grace Lyon: MRS. M. R. KEVIL - Letter published in the Princeton Ledger in 1926. With the departure of Mrs. M. R. Kevil , July 11, Princeton suffered a distinct and irreparable loss. Princeton has made many gifts of worthwhile citizens to other states, but never sent a more valuable and stimulating gift than our friend, Grace Lyon Kevil, who has joined her husband at Carneige, Pa., for an indefinite stay. As a teacher of music for twenty years, no halfway, or partial measures, no short cuts, or cure-alls deceived her - steadily, with unflagging patience and unfalling faith , she worked to quicken understanding and create respect and good will. Her vision and her strength, were turned with loving wisdom to the service of the many girls with whom she labored and loved, as Guardian of the Camp Fire Girls and in other capacities. An organist of her church, whether the call was one of mornful sorrow or supreme joy, it was answered with the same loyalty. As one of the charter members of the town's oldest Women's Club, she was soon recognized as a leader in the best intelllectual life, developing marked ability by wide reading and the experiences that inevitably come with the years. Her home and family were enriched by the interest and experience gained through all these activities and the memory of the hospitality of her home where taste and influence were so evident, will ever linger in the hearts of her friends. Mrs. Kevil has what Stevenson calls "Courage and gaity and the quiet mind," and truly church, schools, town, library, and home relied upon this sweet and gifted women. The writer who morns for he companionship and awaits in vain the phone call, "Miss Sallie," believes the prescription for her unusual personality is - "Every year you should master some new craft for the hand, acquire new art for the mind, and receive into your affections, new friends to satisfy the heart." God bless our Grace and her family, may they return to us and be ours again, is the sentiment of countless members of her friends. Sally Powell, Catlett, Ky. (1926) Obituary in Princeton Ledger on Tuesday, February 8, 1938: PRINCETON DEAN OF MUSIC DIES SUNDAY MORNING Mrs. Grace Kevil Victim of Paralytic Stroke - Funeral Today "In Heaven a spirit doth dwell whose heartstrings are a lute" - Koran. Mrs. M. R. Kevil died in her home on East Market Street Sunday morning Feb. 6, 1938 after a few days illness. She had not been well for several months and last Wednesday, following a slight paralytic stroke, her condition became precarious as was immediately recognized by her family physician, Dr. W. L. Cash and the devoted members of her household. The whole community was overshadowed by a deep sense of loss and profound bereavement when it became generally known, that in the tranquill hours preceeding the Sabbath dawning, the angel of the Amaranthine Crown had summond her spirit to where the stars sing eternally together, the music of the spheres. Mrs. Kevil had lived in this community for many years and perhaps had wielded more influence for culture and refinement among the young people of this city for a longer period of time, than any other one resident. She had conducted a studio for the instruction of piano pupils here for years, her average advanced pupils were outstanding in talent and many had achieved marked success. "Miss Grace" was dean of music instructors in this community, a woman whose very life was engrossed by the art she loved; and who lavishly shared that art with the public. The place she occupied in the hearts and lives of this citizenry will be difficult to fill, her loss to the community well nigh irreparable. Mrs. Grace Lyon Kevil was a daughter of distinguished ancestry. She was the oldest child of General Hylan Benton Lyon of the army of the Confederate States of America, and Mrs. Grace Machen Lyon. She was born January 20, 1871. She was united in marriage to the late Tom Beeler of this place, and they were the parents of two children who died in infancy. The young couple made their home here on Washington Street in The residence now occupied by Mr. Henry Towery and family. This ideal union was soon severed by death, and after a number of years Mrs. Beeler was married to Matthew R. Kevil, prominent merchant and financier, a former mayor of Princeton. Mr. Kevil preceeded her in death some eleven years ago. Into their home and hearts came a motherless child, the former Miss Rosalyn Roach, niece of Mr. Kevil who reciprocated their love by a devotion and attention that was truely fillal. Besides this foster child, she is survived by two brothers, Captain Frank Lyon of the United States Navy of Charlottesville, Va., who at one time was a resident of this place; Ernest Lyon of Eddysville; two half sisters, Mrs. Lawson Faxon of Hopkinsville; Loraine Lyon and stepmother Mrs. Ruth W. Lyon of Eddyville; and an uncle, Mr. Frank Machen of Princeton. Mrs. Kevil never abandoned her studies, keeping up with modern ideas in teaching; only two years ago she spent the summer in Europe working with the greatest masters of the Old World. She was prominent in the church, civic, club and social circles, and was never too occupied in her busy life to contribute her valuable time to arranging for her talented pupils to share in many of the community musical programs. Year after year, her finished musicians went forth to give pleasure and culture to the musical world. Several of her pupils studied abroad, one winning a scholarship that took her to Fontainebleau, near Paris, France as a student. As an accompanist, she was without a peer, truely it might be written of her that like Israfell, her "heart strings were a lute." While teaching was her profession yet she gave generously to many children who possibly could not otherwise have had the fine advantages of piano study; gave quietly and in secret without expectation of reward except in seeing her pupils' attainment in the arts they both loved. Mrs. Kevil was organist of the Central Presbyterian Church for many years. This cherished duty she had relinquished of late to one of her talented young pupils, only playing on very special occasions. She held membership in the Gradatim Club, oldest study organization in the city, and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Sunday morning, the remains were conveyed to the Morgan Funeral Home on South Seminary Street to await obsequies and there those in all walks of life came to shed a quiet tear of farewell. Funeral services took place at the family residence this (Tuesday) morning at ten o'clock; the Rev. E. E. Diggs, Jr., her pastor saying the eloquent and well deserved tribute. Internment followed in the sequestered confines of Cedar Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Kevil will live long in the hearts of those she leaves behind. "Grace," given by her parents at birth was no misnomer for she was gracious of personality. Her gentle dignity and noble character enhancing her worth as a mentor in the field of labor to which she had so definetly dedicated her time and talents. "As life goes on the world, grows strange; With faces new, and toward the end; The milestones into headstones change; Neath every one a friend." |
