Kansas City couple to fund KU memorial for son
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld of Kansas City announced plans to create a memorial at the University of Kansas for their son John C. Battenfeld, 19, killed east of Lawrence. The memorial would serve as a home for self supporting men, funded by the family gift rather than subscriptions. They proposed a "flower fund" idea seen in Stockholm to replace flowers with gifts for homes for students and elderly housing, and urged other families to adopt similar funds.
