Son of Elizabeth and Robert E. "Bob" Kyle

Brother of Mary, John, Ellen, Amanda, Isabella, Robert, Florence Kyle

Husband of (1) Eliza, and (2) Sophronia, who died 1892

Father of Ola Kyle Miller (b. 1871), Elizabeth "Bettie" Kyle DuBose (b.c. 1873), Thomas J. "Jeff" (b. Sept. 1876), Eliza "Dollie" (b. June 1878), Alva (b. Jan. 1881), James Jr. "Jim" (b. Jan. 1883), Kit C. (b. Oct. 1884), Junious M. (b. Aug. 1887), Fred (b. June 1889), and Bernard Kyle (b. 1892)

Mr. Kyle's son Bernard was an invalid living with his father. When a man came to the house to tell them hogs were in their corn, Mr. Kyle volunteered to go. Bernard "tried to keep him from going knowing that he was not well himself, but he insisted, and left the house about 12 o'clock."

When Mrs. Bernard Kyle returned home from town that night, her husband was very concerned about his father, who had not returned. They "phoned into town, and a posse was quickly organized who went in search." They finally found a hog that had been shot, and soon found Mr. Kyle's body, still clinching his gun and wearing his hat.

Mr. Kyle had been suffering with heart problems for several weeks and had a premonition of his death. His wife had died in 1892, and survivors included several children.
