Earl, who was the oldest son of Amos and Della Heskett, was born near Hymer. He had been ill with pneumonia for several weeks which was the cause of his death. He was born Dec. 31st, 1906 and was in his twenty-ninth year. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Della Darner, and his step-father, Guy Darner, of Strong City, and one brother, Charles Heskett of Hutchinson.
The following obituary was written by Mrs. R K Maybell: Earl Conaway Heskett was born December 31st 1906 at Hymer, Kansas and died May 24th 1936 at the Newman memorial hospital in Emporia, Kansas. He was 29 years, four months, and 24 days old. He was the first born son of Amos and Della Heskett. He is survived by her mother; his step-father, Guy Darner; his brother, Charles of Hutchinson, and a host of other near relatives and friends.
Earl has been best known for the unselfish loyalty to his mother. After his father's death, he never left her, proving his devotion by his comradeship to her who had been left with two sons, not yet ready to go out into the world and do for themselves. Before his death he signified that all was well and he had reached the end of his journey and was ready to go to his Savior. All that loving hands could do was tried to save his life. Death was calm and serene, and his life's work was done.
There is an inheritance of good disposition and unselfish devotion to be lived up to by those who carry a loving memory in their hearts. So may his passing be, His task accomplished and the long day done; His wages taken and in his heart some late lark singing, Let him be gathered to the quiet west, the sundown, splendid and serene.
