Biography

Dexter Kenfield: Dexter's father stated that the mailbox was way down at the end of the road, down a long hill. He walked down to get the mail, and on the way back slipped on some ice and broke his skull, dying a short while later. This was in Vermont in the early spring - lots of ice around in hill country, which Waterville is. And the death record gives cause of death as "cerebral hemorrhage due to fractured occipital bone due to accident."⁶
