Karl Rohs from Cynthiana Kentucky
Hi,
I'm looking for biographical information on Karl Rohs who was from Cynthiana Kentucky and attended the University of Kentucky where he played basketball in the early 1920's.

I've seen his first name spelled both Karl and Karle.
On the Kentucky Death records site

I did locate a Karle H Rohs who died 5/28/1942 at the age of 39. This age gives a birth year which is in agreement with the estimated birth year of the player at UK.
I'd like to confirm this is indeed the same person and also find an obituary, which hopefully explain why he died so young (possibly in the war although 39 is pretty old to be a soldier). I'd also like to find his exact date of birth.
Thanks
jon
