KENNETH LANG KENNETH LANG LOSES BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE-DEATH SAD. A brave fight for life was lost by Kenneth Lang, a North Side boy Friday night, when Death claimed him at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lang, 616 Buffalo street. The dead boy was 21 years of age and a victim of that insiduous foe, consumption. Last June, his health failing, he was taken to the sanitarium at Wales where he remained until five weeks ago, returning home when hope of his recovery was abandoned, and for several days past his life had been hanging in the balance. The death of Mr. Lang is pathetically sad and will awaken sympathy for the bereaved family. A young man of bright mind, ambitious and with the promise of a successful career before him, he was popular and respected and his death will be deplored by many who knew him. Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Margaret and Genevieve and one brother Sydney. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from St. Paul's M.E. church.
