A SUDDEN DEATHEarl Tuesday morning the whole co9mmunity was severly shcocked when the report became current that Abraham W. Kuykendall had died suddenly in his store. The circumstances surrounding his death are indeed sad.
Ever since he made proof on his claim, himself and wife have been living in the back of his store. On Tuesday morning they arose about the usual time and Mr. Kuykendall built a fire and his wife cooked breakfact and was getting warm water and fixing for him to wash and as he started to put his hands in the basin he suddenly stiffened up straight and fell over backwad between the stove and counter and died in a few seconds. Both doctors arrived on he sceene promptley, but whie he was alive when the first one arrived, they could do nothing. At the time he fell himself and wife were the only ones in the store and her screams soon brought assistance.
The funeral was held at the Gray school house at two o'clock Christmas day, the services being conducted by Revs. Dewitt Sankey and Jayness. The largest concourse of people that have ever attended a funeral in this part of the country was present.
Abraham W. Kuykendall was well known throught this region, as he was one of the first of what is known as the new settlers, and himselt and wife established the first store in Gray which they managed to the time of his death. He had an unlimited number of friends and was a man whose advice was sought and eagerly accepted by a score of people in importand business maters, and he will be greatly missed here. He came from a family that has made a remarkable record, his fatehr having been a Primitive Baptist minister for 96 years and lived to the age of 114 years. His mother lived to the age of 98 years, and he had one brother that was 120 years old when he died. Counting his brothers, sisters, and half brothers and half sisters there were 21 children in the family. Two of his brothers and Mr. Kuykendall were solid consistant members of the Primitive Baptis church. He leaves a wife, two sons, a daughter, three brothers and a host of friends to mourn his loss and reveerance his memory.
