Rev. J. A. kuykendaII
Falls as He Announces
His Text.
Especial to News and Observer.)


Asheville, n. c., Feb. 9.-Wiley b.
Brown, of this city, received the news of
the death of his brother-in-law, Rev. j.
A. Kuykendall, which occurred at the
Corinth Baptist church of this county,
under peculiar circumstances. Rev. Mr.
Kuykendall is Baptist minister of this
section, and Sunday had gone to Corinth
to preach his regular weekly sermon.
The preacher arrived at the house Of wor-
ship in his usual good health, and had
begun the services, taking for his text
the 44th chapter of Genesis: Il will go
and see Him before / die when after
speaking few words ne suddenly placed
his hand to his side and fell to the floor
of the pulpit, expiring within few Sc
cond5 and without uttering a word.
Rev. J. L. Cook, who occupied a seat
close to the pulpit, was the first to reach
the ministers side, but Mr.. Kuykendall
was dead before the brother pastor could
reach him. When it became known that
death had suddenly invaded the sanctuary
and taken from them without moment S
warning their pastor, the excitement
among the congregation was intense.
Women became hysterical and children
screamed, and a number of men were
utterly unable to control themselves. Af-
ter several minutes had elapsed and it
was finally realized that the minister was
dead, his body was removed from the
church.
