      Frederick Kehn, branch manager for Hamilton, of the Western Life Insurance Company, died on Saturday. Born in Hanover, Ont., he had lived here for many years, and was a member of MacNeill Memorial Baptist Church.

He had served with the Metropolitan Life for 11 years, acting in the capacity of assistant district manager for seven years. For six years he was district manager for the Commonwealth Life and succeeded in developing a successful agency before the company amalgamated with the Empire Life in 1929. In 1932 he was appointed branch manager for Hamilton of the Mutual Relief Life Insurance Company.

      He was a member of Doric Lodge A.F. and A.M., Mocha Temple of Shriners and the 1.O.O.F. of Preston.

      He is survived by his widow, Hattic Kehn of 24 Aberdeen Avenue; one daughter, Miss Florence Kehn of Hamilton; one sister, Mrs. William Barton, Hanover, three brothers, Christopher, Hanover; John, Detroit; and Philip of Preston.
