Tribune's Frank Kettlewell, "Ket" of the Cartoons, Dies

Frank Kettlewell, chief of The Tribune's art department who was known to generations of readers simply as "Ket", died unexpectedly last night. He was 79.

The genial, silver-haired artist, in nearly perfect health all his life, was stricken Monday with an appendicitis attack. He underwent surgery that night and was reported to be recovering rapidly when he suffered a heart attack.

For many years he was one of the Bay Area's leading editorial cartoonists and later became noted for maps that he drew to illustrate news stories and travel articles. His editorial cartoons, which appeared in the 1930's, always contained a little bird in the corner as a signature.

A series of road maps he drew in the early days of the automobile, to illustrate road tours throughout the state, was later issued in book form by The Tribune. A few years ago "Ket" drew a map showing how San Fransisco Bay is shrinking, and it was quickly adopted as a symbol by the Save the Bay Association and is now flown as a pennant by boats taking part in the annual opening of the Bay yachting season.

"Ket" was born in St. Helena; the son of pioneer parents who named him Benjamin Franklin Kettlewell. He graduated from St. Helena High School and as a youth arrived in San Francisco with a shipment of relief supplies after the 1906 earthquake and fire.

Later he lived in that city with his grandfather while attending the old Hopkins Art School on the site of what is now the Mark Hopkins Hotel. He came to work for The Tribune in 1912 and soon became head of the art room, no one is any longer sure exactly when, but the best estimates place it around 1917.

"Ket" combined one of his many hobbies- photography with his art work, taking pictures to illustrate those early auto tours and later (illegible newspaper) with columnist Jack Burroughs on a popular feature called "Your Town." He often put in long hours in The Tribune's photography darkroom, developing and printing pictures he and others had taken.

An amateur astronomer of note, "Ket" designed and built several of his own telescopes. He was believed to be a founding member of the East Bay Astronomical Society and for more than 25 years was one of its directors.

In 1948 "Ket's" drawing of Sutter's Mill was accepted by the U.S. Post Office Department as the design for a stamp commemorating the discovery of gold in California.

He was a inveterate tinkerer. Often he designed his own tools and one of his last projects was building a gem polisher for a friend. His other hobbies included metalworking, woodworking and stamp collecting.

"Ket" was a man who couldn't say no, an associate recalls, "Any time someone asked him to do something he'd try it."

He served for many years on the selection committee for the Joseph R. Knowland awards, which annually honor Tribune employees for outstanding achievement. His other affiliations included Orinda Masonic Lodge 521, the Oakland Scottish Rite Bodies and the Aahmes Temple of the shrine.

He leaves his widow, Beatrice (Dixie) at the family home, 325 El Cerrito Ave., Piedmont, and a niece Mrs. Mary Ann Sliger of St. Helena.

Masonic funeral services will be conducted Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Truman's Mortuary, Telegraph Avenue and 30th Street, Oakland.

Kettlewell. Benjamin Franklin

Life Work at an End
B. F. Kettlewell Joins Silent Majority
Was a Prominent Citizen
Had Resided in St. Helena Many Years and was Held in High Esteem

B. F. Kettlewell, one of St. Helena's most prominent and highly respected citizens passed away Monday evening at Dr. Burke's Sanitarium in Sonoma county, the end coming at 6:40 o'clock.

Mr. Kettlewell had been ill for over a year, and for several months his condition had been so serious that he was compelled to spend most of his time at Dr. Burke's sanitarium. He would get better and come home, only to grow worse again and return to be under the Doctor's care. About four weeks ago he had such a serious sinking spell that his wife took him to Dr. Burke's but he did not rally. Sunday afternoon a message called the other relatives to Mr. Kettlewell's beside, and, after lingering until Monday evening he sank to rest with the setting sun.

Benjamin Franklin Kettlewell was born in Iowa, May 8, 1857, and was the fourth son of the late Joseph R. and Eliza Kettlewell. When a lad of 8 years he accompanied his parents West, settling first in Austin, Nevada. A year later the family located in San Francisco, and on July 1, 1872, came to St. Helena. Here the subject of this sketch entered the public school and upon completing the course of study attended an academy conducted by L. L. Rogers at Calistoga. Later he went to Heald's Business College in San Francisco, graduating therefrom in 1877. Always industrious, he worked during his younger days by the side of his father at the forge, and when the elder Kettlewell retired from blacksmithing and opened a large hardware store, Frank was through school and engage actively in business with his father.

Deceased always took an active and prominent part in public affairs and in politics. He served the people faithfully and with credit to himself as Town Clerk, Town Trustee and as Clerk and Trustee of the Public Library. From 1895 to 1899 he served as postmaster, to which position he was appointed by President Cleveland. When he turned the post office over to the present postmaster on March 1, 1899, the affairs were found to be in splendid shape and in accord with the administration he had given. He then devoted his attention to real estate and insurance, building up a large business which occupied his undivided attention until illness caused him to give up his active life.

Deceased had been a member of St. Helena Lodge No. 93, F. and A. M., for over thirty years and was a Past Master. He was also a member of St. Helena Chapter NO. 63, R. A. M. and Napa Commandery No. 34 K. T. He was a charter member of Olive Camp No. 135, W. of W., and for many years, and until overtaken by ill health, was Clerk of the Camp. Mr. Kettlewell was also a charter-member and active worker in the Order of Eastern Star in St. Helena.

Deceased was married in Santa Ana, May 8, 1884, to Miss Libbie Vanderlip, and is survived by his widow and two sons- Charles Edgar and Benjamin Franklin; also two brothers, Joseph A., and James O. Kettlewell, all of whom have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.

The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Masonic Hall under the auspices of St. Helena Lodge No. 93, F. and A. M. The impressive ritualist service was read by L. G. Clark, Master, and Rev. James Mitchell, Chaplain. Rev Mitchell also pronounced eulogy upon the life and character of deceased, dwelling upon his many excellent qualities and his devotion to his family and to his duty as a citizen. Rev. U. E Partridge, pastor of the Methodist Church, offered a fervent prayer. A choir composed of Mrs. E. G. Schuneman, Mrs. Walter Metzner, G. B. Anderson and W. T. Dillon, sang several appropriate hymns and Miss Wardlow presided at the piano. The floral offerings from the Masonic Lodge, the Easter Star, the Woodmen of the World, and many friends were very beautiful.

At the conclusion of the services many people followed the remains to their last resting place. Sixteen members of Napa Commandery, nights Templar, in full uniform, members of St. Helena Lodge F. and A. M. and of St. Helena Chapter, O. E. S., acted as an escort to the cemetery, where the last sad rites took place.

The pall bearers were the following: D. A. Dunlap and H. M. Meacham, representing Napa Commandery, K. T.; J. H. Steves and A. N. Bell, St. Helena Lodge, F. and A. M.; Leo, H. Martin and George Herdle, Olive Camp W. O. W.

There were many expressions of sorrow at the passing away of B. F. Kettlewell. He had resided here nearly thirty-eight years and was a good man. He was always wide awake and enterprising, full of zeal, loyal to his friends and deeply devoted to his wife and the two sons who have grown to manhood, an honor to their parents and in the full enjoyment of the public esteem in which deceased had such an abundant share.

Aged Pioneer Laid to Rest

J.R. Kettlewell Passes From This Earth

Had Lived Four Score Years

One of Napa County's Best Known and Respected Citizens Goes to His Reward

Death has removed from our midst another of those pioneers who came to California in the early '50's and helped build this great commonwealth. Joseph R. Kettlewell, a well-known and prominent citizen of St. Helena, passed from this life at the home of his son, B. F. Kettlewell, on Main street, Friday night, July 31st, at 9:50 o'clock. The cause of death was old age, the splendid constitution with which Mr. Kettlewell had been endowed finally giving way, after a period f failing health that had afflicted him since the demise f his life-partner on June 17th of last year.

Joseph Richard Kettlewell was born in Washington County, Pa., May 13, 1825, and had therefore reached the ripe old age of 83 years, 2 months and 18 days. In 1828, when the subject of this sketch was three years old, the family moved to St. Clairsville, Ohio, where the father plied his trade of carpenter. Later, the family moved to Wheeling, W. Va., where, in 1837, Mr. Kettlewell's father died, being survived by a wife and large family of children.

Joseph Kettlewell early faced the problem of self-support and learned the blacksmith trade, moving to Cincinnati, where he was employed in the engine spring department of the Harkness Locomotive Works for ten years. It was here that Mr. Kettlewell had the honor of making the springs for the first locomotive to be sent to Panama and which was the first to cross the Isthmus.

On April 15, 1847, Mr. Kettlewell was married to Miss Eliza Paul. From Cincinnati Mr. Kettlewell, accompanied by his family, went to Iowa City, Iowa, and there established a blacksmith and wagon shop. In 1853, deciding that the West offered greater opportunities, Mr. Kettlewell and his wife and children started on the long overland journey. The first permanent stop was made at Austin, Nev., where a year was spent, and then the journey was continued to San Francisco. Mr. Kettlewell established himself in business and remained in the metropolis until 1872, when, owing to his wife's poor health, he came to St. Helena.

On July 1, 1872, Mr. Kettlewell started a blacksmithing business in a frame building corner of Main and Adams streets, and there continued until 1889, when he sold his blacksmithing interest, retaining the hardware line which he had added two years before. Mr. Kettlewell erected a fine two-story brick building, on the corner of Main and Adam streets, and two years later retired from business. Mr Kettlewell always took an active interest in politics and served the people as a delegate to many Democratic conventions. The only offices he ever held, however, were those of School Trustee. He was always a public spirited citizen and was a devoted husband and father. The children who survive both father and mother are Joseph Alexander, James Oscar and Benjamin Franklin.

Deceased joined the Odd Fellows in 1847, but for years had not affiliated with the local lodge. He had also been a member of the Methodist church since the age of 18 years.

The funeral took place Sunday afternoon in 1:30 o'clock from the home of B. F. Kettlewell, where deceased had made his home of the last fourteen months of his long life, Rev. W. H. Johnstone conducted the services, assisted by Rev.. James Mitchell. Five of the pallbearers were grandsons, they being Charles, Frank, Oscar, Earl and Richard Kettlewell. Dr. Vanderlip also acted as pallbearer. The remains were followed to their last resting place in St. Helena cemetery by a large number of sorrowing friends, who silently plaid their last tribute of respect to one who for thirty-five years was one of St. Helena's most respected citizens.

Final Rites are Held for Joseph Kettlewell

Last rites were held yesterday afternoon from the James Crowe Company for Joseph A. Kettlewell, 89-year-old retired Redwood City resident, who died Saturday night at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Bruce K. Frost, 58 Turnsworth street.

Cremation followed at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park.

Mr. Kettlewell, who came to California 73 years ago and who had lived in Redwood City for several years, was the husband of the late Helen A. Kettlewell. She died here two years ago at the age of 87. He was the father of John E. Kettlewell.

This article was sent to me by Richards Frost, dated May 24, 1936--no newspaper source cited.

Joseph A. Kettlewell, the dean of all the shoe salesmen, passed out of this life on May 24. He was laid to rest in Cypress Lawn Cemetery in San Mateo County. Joe, as he was known to hundreds of loved friends in the shoe trade from the Atlantic to the Pacific, came to California in the early sixties with his parents in a covered wagon with the pioneers, and while still in his 'teens got a job as a shoe salesman in San Francisco.

His stories of the exciting events that happened in those early days in the shoe business in California were an interesting and true history of the progress of the development, from the stores equipped with wooden shoe cases for shelving and hooks in the ceiling on which to hang the boots, to the elaborate interior and exterior furnishings and fixtures of the present day. Tales of his experiences, related in the Coast Shoe Reported a few years ago under the caption "Memory Lane," were of great interest and eagerly read by everyone. Joe had the gift to tell a good story.

The stores in which he worked during his long experience will recall to some of the older salesmen the names of the high-class merchants of those days, now almost forgotten. Ben Lucke, Kasta, Koenigs, P. F. Nolan, J. B. Russell, George E. Fairchild, selling the best in both domestic and imported footwear and making boots and shoes to measure.

Joe's eyesight started to fail two years ago. Due to his age an operation was not advisable and the result was total blindness. He never lost his friendly smile for the boys. His many friends will not soon forget his manly character and his efforts to better conditions for the retail trade, both for the employer and the employee.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his daughter, Mrs. J. Frost and family in Redwood city, and to his son, Earl Kettlewell and his family, in their bereavement.
