"But the letter was never mailed''-

/ But the letter was never mailed
/ Mrs. Mary McNeal of 500 North
! Monroe street was much worried over
her son, Luther McNeal, who was sick
at lola with pneumonia. And as Mrs.
McNeaI was too i'll herself to write
she requested her granddaughter Mrs.
Ruth Murphy, with whom she makes
her home, TO send a letter to him.
The message was to tell how his
mother hoped for his recovery and
wished him to visit her as soon as he
was able. The letter was never mail
ed 1t was written but before it was
taken to the postoffice a telegram an
nounced the death of the boy for
whom it was intended.
The telegram was sent at o'clock
I Sunday morning and received by Mrs.
Murphy two hours later. She hest
tated about breaking the news to Mrs.
McNeal on account of her being in
+ poor health. Mrs. Murphy decided to
go upstairs where the mother had re-
tired the night before and bring her
down before telling her the sad event.
Another shock awaited Mrs Muir
ply. When she entered the room she
saw the woman half sitting and half
lying on the edge of the bed She
went to her. The older woman was
dead.
H. w Bomgardner, coroner, who
was called, said that Mrs AfcNeal had
been dead for some time It appears
that she may have died about the
same time that her son passed away.
Mr.. Bomgardner is inclined to think
that death came from natural causes
and will likely not hold an inquest.
The funeral arrangements will be
made later.
Mrs. McNeal had been sick for some
time with stomach trouble. She had
no relatives living in Topeka except
her granddaughter.

j. Ed KyZer Dies I'm
Rutherford, Tenn.

| Mr.. j. EQ hyZer, udI1Ne VI oiii<
county but for many years resident
of the State of Tennessee, died in the
city of Rutherford, on Sunday, Janu'
ary 8. The following account of hls
death appeared in the Rutherford Reg
lister of January 13:
| "At about o'clock last Sunday at
ternoon, Mr.. J E. KyZer, ene OF
Rutherford's oldest and most promi-
| neut and highly respected citizens
| was taken quite i'll and died in about
two hours, his death being due to
| heart failure, superinduced by accute
indigestion. The deceased had been
growing feeble during the past few
months, and his death, though quite
sudden, was no great surprise to those
who had been associated with him the
last several months. -.
Mr.. Kyzer was first married to Hell
en- Branham, by whom he had hve
children, of whom two died quite
Young. His second wife was Sarah
L. Adamson, who died in 1882. In
1884 he was married to Mrs. Annie L.
Cowan, who survives him, together
with two daughters, Mrs. r. B. Tink-
le, of this city, and Mrs. J. II. Holmes
of Reform, Ala. Another daughter,
Mrs. Mollie Fletcher, died in 1904.
Mr.. Kyzer' was native of South
Carolina, born in 1881, being in his
S0th year. He came to Rutherford in
1858 or 1859 and entered the mercan-
tile business. establishing the first
store in the town, at that time a new
station on the M. & o. r. r., which
had just been completed, and its first
through passenger trains were run
through the county in that year. He
continued in the general merchandise
business until 1900, period of oyer 20
years, during that time accommodating
a competency. He was devoted to
business, and during these years had
accumulated about three thousand
acres Of Gibson county's rich soil, be-
ing in several farms within a few
hours ride of his palatial Rutherford
home, and which, during the past few
years, has risen in value till he was,
we think, the largest land owner and
perhaps the wealthies1 citizen in the
county. He was never grasping in
his disposition, but conducted his life
and business on the e-and-let-ive
plan, and it has often been said of
him thae he allowed his tenants to
take to themselves the best and most
Of everything.
Mr.. Kyzer was member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church Of
Rutherford, and also of the Masonic
order.
The remains were enbalmed and
held oyer until Wednesday for the ar
rival of relatives from distance.
Funeral service was conducted by Rev.
W. NJ. Robinson of Hnmhelt, at the
G. P. church, in the presence Of
crowded house, after which the re-
mains were laid to rest in the Rather
ford cemetery with Masonic honcrs.
