Gazette - 5/1/16 - Edward Vincent Hemment - Asst. DC Kisumu; 7/6/16 - ADC S. Kavirondo

Nicholls - Mumias - There were 6 graves in its European cemetery, 5 of them of blackwater fever cases. And then another DO, Mackenzie Hamilton Fraser, also died there of the same cause. The DC, Edward Vincent Hemnant, who had summoned Dr. P.A. Clearkin from Kisumu in a vain attempt to save his colleague, ordered the local village carpenter to make a rough coffin out of some of the shelves in his office. They found an old KAR bugler to sound the Last Post. Hemnant read the burial service, rain dripped down relentlessly and mosquitoes feasted on the mourners. In exactly one month Hemnant himself would occupy a grave next to his assistant, in a coffin made from the rest of his office shelves.
