J. E. Bramblett, a young man, 25 years of age, committed suicide yesterday morning at his home in Plana by jumping from a gable window in the barn. The young man had been complaining of a headache for the last two or three days, and was also in a feverish state of mind. Yesterday morning the young man arose and went out to the barn before breakfast to do the chores. In a few moments one of the women of the house called Mr. Bramblett and said that his son was lying on the barn floor. The father went out to the barn, where he found the boy, who said: “I’m crazy dad; I’m a goner.” Dr. Miller was called and after examining the boy said he was slightly bruised and would be all right in a day or two. This was about 6 o’clock. The boy continued to grow worse during the morning and at 1 o’clock in the afternoon he died from internal injuries. Bramblett was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bramblett, and came to Plana from Carlisle, KY. He was a highly respected young man and had worked for R. D. Roberts, a well nown farmer of Plana, for the last three years. The body was brought to Moore’s undertaking rooms later in the day, and J. D. Bramblett will start with the body for Lexington, Ky., this morning. – Aberdeen American, 21 September 1907

James Henderson Kyle - South Dakota Senator Dead
Aberdeen, South Dakota, July 1 – Senator Kyle died this afternoon at 5 o’clock. He was stricken at his home here about 10 days ago. His trouble was of malarial origin, and resulted in a functional affection of the heart, which caused the greatest alarm. A Consultation of Physicians was held, and his case soon took a turn for the better, the heart action growing stronger and the general condition much more encouraging. One of the latest bulletins from his bedside last week was to the effect that he had passed the danger point, and that his recovery would be certain, though slow. The Senator had a similar attack in the East some time ago, and was liable to a recurrence of the trouble. His health had not been robust for a year or so. His relapse today was not expected, however. James H. Kyle was born near Xenia, Ohio, February 24, 1854. He entered the University of Illinois in 1871, but left in 1873 to enter Oberlin College; was graduated from the classical course in 1878; prepared for admission to the bar, but afterwards entered the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny, Pennsylvania, graduating in 1882. He was pastor of Congregational Churches at Echo City and Salty Lake, Utah, from 1882 to 1885. Since then resided at Ipawich and Aberdeen, South Dakota. He was elected to the State Senate upon the independent Ticket in 1890; after a contest lasting 27 days, upon the 40th ballot, was elected as an Independent to the United States Senate, to succeed Gideon C. Moody; took his seat March 4, 1891, and was re-elected in 1897. Oregonian – July 2, 1901
