Mr. Kevil had been a sufferer from a chronic stomach trouble for several months, and his death was not unexpected by members of his family and many friends.

Newspaper Obituary (Probably Princeton Ledger or Caldwell County Times)

IN MEMORIUM
Died, at his home near Lamasco, Lyon county, Ky, on December 29, 1885, of typhoid pneumonia, Thomas Kearney Kevil.
The deceased was born in Caldwell on September 22, 1855, and was thirty years, three months and one week old at his death. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Kevil of Princeton. He was married in 1882 to Miss Sallie Ingram , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. F. Ingram, of Princeton. The result of this marriage was two children, both of whom survived their father.
Tom Kevil was young man of excellant moral character, generous impulses, kind harted, temperate in his habits, full of energy and perserverance, good business qualifications and gave abundant promise of being a useful and first-class citizen in every respect. He made friends of all with whom he came in contact. If he had an enemy at all, we do not know it. If he had lived, he would have won that which he deserved - success.
His remains were brought to Princton, and on Thursday December 31, at 2 oclock, P. M., Rev. J. L. Edrington of Eddyville, preached his funeral before a large congregation; after which they were laid away in the Town Cemetery to await the reserection morn when, we trust, he, and others now sleeping in that little "City of the Dead" will recieve a crown of everlasting life.
Thirty-one years have come and gone since Mr. and Mrs. Kevil, the father and mother of the deceased, have been called to morn the death of one of their family, and this death must serve as a reminder to them, as well to the surviving brothers and sisters, of what is said in Holy Writ: "Be ye also ready, for ye know not the day nor the hour," etc.
May God in his goodness and mercy comfort them, and especially the heart broken wife of the little ones!

ADOLPHUS KEVIL BROUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL

Former Citizen Dies At Rockport, Ky., Last Friday Morning Following Long Illness

Mr. Aldolphus B. Kevil, a well known former Princetonian, died at his home in Rockport, Ky., last Friday morning, and his remains were brought here Sunday for interment, which took place at Cedar Hill Cemetery, with short funeral services conducted at the grave by Rev. E. E. Diggs, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church.

The remains were conveyed from the I. C. Station to the cemetery by the Princeton Furniture Company's funeral car, in charge of Mr. Robert Morgan.

Mr. Kevil was seventy-one years of age, and a son of the late James and Nancy Bell Kevil, of this city. He was born and reared in this county in the Rock Spring Community.

He is survived by his wife, one daughter, and a brother, James Kevil. Adolphus Kevil was a brother of the late James Bell, Calvin, Thomas, Urey, and and Mat Kevil, Mrs. John P. Smith, and Mrs. Charles McLin.

A large number of friends of the deceased, his widow and daughter from Rockport accompanied the remains of Mr. Kevil here for the internment, thus attesting the esteem he was held by the citizenry of his adopted home, where he was engaged in the mercantile business a long number of years. His death was due to a tumor of the stomach, which gave him trouble for several years. However, he was confined to his home and bed only a few days prior to his demise.
