Bramblett, John
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.

James Henderson
Kyle
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

Hasting, Arthur
ARTHUR
HASTINGS DIED AT FAMILY HOME TODAY
Arthur I. Hastings died at his home, 5 Sixth
Avenue, southwest, this noon, after a short
illness.
Mr. Hastings, though but 40 years of age, was
among the oldest settlers in point of residence,
and is well known to all pioneers in Aberdeen,
as well as to a very large circle of friends in
and out of business circles.
A short time ago he took a lay off from his run
as conductor between Aberdeen and Mobridge, but
had gone back to work and seemed to be again in
good health, until a few days ago.
Yesterday his condition was so serious that last
night a special was run to Edgeley to bring a
physician friend to his bedside, but it was too
late for help and death resulted this noon.
His sudden death has been a shock and the cause
of deep grief to his many friends, who but a few
days ago met him on the streets and about his
affairs, seemingly in good health and in the
best of spirits. Their symapthetic thought
is with the breaved family in their sorrow.
Mr. Hastings entered the employ of the Milwaukee
an September, 1896, and has been with the road
ever since, making his home in this city.
He is survived by his wife and two little
daughters; his mother and sister at Clinton
Junction, Wis., and his brother, Pen, in Chicago
and his brother, Paul, of Aberdeen.
Definite arrangements for the funeral service
have not been completed at this time.

Shumaker, Mrs.
Died Of Small
Pox
Mrs. Shumaker, Living South of Bath, Reported
Dead From Disease
Mrs. Shumaker, whose home is south of Bath several miles
in Rondell township, died on Sunday night from
smallpox. The cases in the Shumaker family were
reported to Dr. McNutt, superintendent of the county
board of health, and all precautions were taken to
prevent the contagion from going beyond the members of
the family exposed. Where the disease came from is
not known, but Mrs. Shumaker’s case was the virulent
type.
The small pox has run its course in the Werth family in
Rondell, and all the members are recovering in good
shape. Mrs. Werth was very sick, her case being of
the virulent type, but she is recovering after passing
through a hard siege.
Yesterday Dr. McNutt drove to Groton to make an
examination of five families, where sickness prevailed,
to settle a difference of opinion among physicians there
as whether the disease was measles or scarlet
fever. In five homes he found the children
affected with measles and in one, the Kraft home, he
found scarlet fever of serious character. The
12-year-old daughter, died yesterday morning of the
disease, which had not been reported to the county board
of health. A few months ago a son in the Erdman
family in Groton died of the same disease, Dr. McNutt
reports, though there was no report of the existence of
the disease made by the physician in charge.

Campbell, James
Funeral of
Wednesday
Rev. Dr. J. M. Campbell Passes Away Sunday
Morning
Universal Grief in Aberdeen Over His Death – Obsequies
to Take Place at Presbyterian Church Wednesday Morning –
Sketch of His Life – Man of Strong Character
Although generally looked for, the news of the death of
Rev. James M. Campbell, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, which occurred early yesterday morning, came as
a shock to the city at large, and caused unusually
widespread grief. Dr. Campbell had been fighting the
grim destroyer for weeks and the keenest interest was
taken in his condition by all of the people of Aberdeen,
regardless of creed or religious attachment. Each day
during his sickness, scores asked to be informed of his
condition. When the condition of the pastor became so
low that hope seemed futile, it was told with the
deepest regret. His death for the past three or four
days was almost momentarily expected; but when it did
come yesterday, it cast a gloom over the city.
Dr. Campbell was one of the most popular preachers
Aberdeen has ever had. As a pulpit orator he had few
equals, and people of all denominations liked to hear
him. As a citizen he was also popular. He was a polished
and agreeable gentleman and one whom all liked to meet
and talk with. In short, Dr. Campbell was of the highest
type of citizen.
Funeral
Arrangements
The funeral will be held at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning
from the Presbyterian church. In the meantime the body
will be at the house. The interment will be in Riverside
cemetery. It was thought at first that the body would be
taken to Ontario for interment, but it was determined
this morning to have it interred in Aberdeen, a city
which Dr. Campbell had grown to love.
The casket will be removed to the church Wednesday
morning at 9 o’clock and from that time until 10
o’clock, when the funeral services will be held, the
casket will be open for those who wish to see the body.
However, after the services are over, the casket will
not be opened again.
John Campbell, a brother of the death clergyman, has
arrived from St. Joseph, Mo. C. M. Abrahams, a brother
of Mrs. Campbell, and a sister of her will also arrive,
coming from Winnipeg today. The trustees and elders of
the Presbyterian church met yesterday afternoon to make
arrangements for the funeral. Further details will be
announced later.
Sketch of Dr.
Campbell
Dr. Campbell was born at Nairn, Scotland, Aug. 26, 1859.
Nairn was famous as the finest sea-bathing resort in the
kingdom. He received a good elementary instruction under
excellent tutors and at the age of 12 he came with his
parents to this country and settled for a time at
Honesdale, Pa., where his education was continued in the
academy at that place. His family removed to Buffalo, N.
Y. , and later to Canada, where he studied for the
ministry, graduating with honors and was licensed by the
presbytery of Petersborough.
His first pastoral charge was at Grand Ledge, Mich., for
three years, and then he labored successively at
Montague, Mich., two and a half years; at Lodi, Wis.,
six and half years; at Pawnee City, Neb., six years; and
lastly at Aberdeen nearly a year and a half. About ten
years ago he took a post-graduate course at Gale
college, Wisconsin, under the scholarly Dr. W. D.
Thomas, and secured the degrees of doctor of philosophy
and doctor of divinity.
Dr. Campbell was intensely interested in evangelistic
work, and in addition to the pastoral charges above
named, he labored a year as evangelist in the synod of
Illinois, with headquarters at Ottawa. This was just
prior t his coming to Aberdeen. His service in his
several charges has been marked by a decided increase of
membership and strengthening of the work along important
lines.
The doctor was blessed with an exceedingly social
disposition and attached to himself both numerous and
ardent friends. Hopefulness, enthusiasm and energy
marked his efforts as pastor and preacher. He especially
aimed to reach the men of the community, and a men’s
club of sixty members was organized in connection with
the Aberdeen church.
In theology he clung with the firmest faith to the
historic tenets of the church and believed with all his
heart in the holy Bible from cover to cover. The whole
Bible for the whole man and the whole race was the end
towards which his preaching was directed.
His surviving relatives are a wife and son in Aberdeen,
a mother and two sisters in London, Canada, and a
brother at St. Joseph, Mo.

were present to pay homage to their former friend. The

Pioneer Days
Recalled
Bringing back the memories of early days in South
Dakota, the casket was carried slowly through the snow
filled streets by the use of a bobsled such as the
deceased had been accustomed to travel in when he first
began his career as one of the early settlers. The
remainder of the funeral escort rode in six bobsleds,
teams being the only means available to overcome the
drifts piled up by the recent storm. It was the first
time in many years the automobile had not been used at
funeral services.
Mr. Hatz was one of Aberdeen’s most prominent business
men, having erected the building on south main street
known as the Hatz Block and founding the Hatz Investment
Company of which he was president at the time of his
death.
Pioneer
Settler
The Deceased was born in Prairie Du Sac Wisconsin, 75
years ago, where he grew to young manhood. He was a
graduate of the Normal School at Whitewater, Wisconsin
and of the North Western College at Naverville,
Illinois. After completing his education, he accepted a
position as a teacher in the Wisconsin schools for a
number of years.
When he was 37 years of age, he came west to Big Stone,
S. D. where he was a teacher in the schools. He then
settled in Eureka, entering the mercantile business
where he remained for 13 years. Mr. Hatz then moved to
Aberdeen, where he erected the building which now bears
his name. He was a member of the Evangelical church for
many years before his death.
Prominent in
Church Work
The deceased was a lay delegate to the annual conference
and also to the general conference of the church. He had
taken a great interest in the education of young men for
the ministry of the gospel. He was a founder of the
Student Aid Society of the Dakota Conference.
The deceased was known to the entire community as a
business man of ability and was esteemed by the many
friends.
He leaves to mourn, one sister, Mrs. Escharmer of
Prairie Du Sac, Wisconsin and two brothers, John of
Prairie Du Sac and F. J. Hatz.

Mrs. Corry
A Large and Most Impressive Funeral at
Columbia
The funeral of Mrs. C. E. Corry at Columbia yesterday
was the most touching and impressive over held in that
place. The Congregational church, which is one of the
largest in this section, was filled with people and
during the service there was not a dry eye in the whole
assemblage. The church was beautifully and lavishly
decorated with roses and other cut flowers. A floral
arch reached a height of several feet above the pulpit.
Monograms composed of letters formed of roses and
flowers represented the Christian Endeavor, the Sunday
school and Woman’s Home Missionary Society, of the
latter of which Mrs. Corry was the state president. The
casket in which her remains rested and the bier on which
it stood were literally buried in flowers, which were
emblematic of this purity, and beauty of character of
the deceased, and must offerings from many loving and
grieving friends. The music of the service was sung by a
quartet consisting of Miss Barnice Smith, Miss Esther
Smith, Rollo Smith, of Columbia and J. C. Kirkpatrick of
Groton. Rev. Mr. Webb, the Columbia pastor, preached the
funeral discourse, which was very affecting.
The burial took place in Lake View cemetery and the
entire population of Columbia and the surrounding
country, besides many from a distance, witnessed the
final rites of interment.

Nusser, Louis
Louis Nusser of this city died yesterday at Redlands,
Cal., where he had gone less than two weeks ago in
search of health. The cause of his death was due to
fatigue of the long journey, which proved too much for
his weakened condition. For some years Mr. Nusser had
suffered from consumption, and a month ago his physician
told him that the only chance he had for his life was to
go to California. He left this city a week ago last
Thursday. Yesterday a message from Redlands stated that
Mr. Nusser was very ill and asking if a nurse should be
secured for him. Word was sent back that he should be
given the best of care. This morning at 10 o’clock
another message stated that he died there yesterday.
Mr. Nusser was 42 years of age and was born at Waterloo,
Wis. He came to this city in 1882 and first engaged in
the carpenter business. Later he was employed in the
butcher shop of John Schuler. After learning the
business thoroughly he entered into partnership with H.
J. Lockington, afterwards launching into the meat
business for himself. Six years ago he formed a
partnership with O. T. Thompson and at the time of his
death was still a member of the firm.
Mr. Nusser leaves a number of relatives in this
vicinity. A wife and two children, Louis, 12 years old,
and Marie, 7, and a mother, Mrs. Wagner, all of whom
live in this city, survive him. Besides he leaves three
sisters, Mrs. John Schuler of North Dakota, Mrs. Gunnitz
of Watertown and Mrs. Blank of Ipswich.
Word has been sent to Redlands to have the body brought
to this city.
