Saranac Advertiser, 28 Mar 1901

Robert Kyle was the twin son of David and Jane Kyle and was born March 24th,
1834, in West Bloomfield, Oakland Co., Michigan, and was married to Maria Beatty
of East Bloomfield, on March 31st, 1858.  From this union six children were
born, one son dying in infancy and two daughters in childhood of diphtheria, and
his wife, Oct. 16, 1900, at Saranac, Michigan.  The surviving children are Mrs.
Elizabeth J. Barber of Belding, Mrs. Roselle A. Clark of Victoria, Michigan, and
Leland E. Kyle of Buffalo, N.Y.  Mr. Kyle is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Thomas Brown of Saranac and Mrs. S.J. Nicholson of Pontiac.  Mr. Kyle’s boyhood
was spent upon his father’s farm and in attendance at the district school.  Soon
after his majority he joined with his twin brother, David, in the purchase of
the Kyle homestead which they afterward divided and upon which he lived until he
moved to Ionia county in 1873.  In 1875 he purchased a small farm near this
village which he worked and leased for a number of years until stricken
seriously with a disease which caused his friends and relatives to seek
treatment for him at the Michigan Asylum at Kalamazoo, where he died of heart
disease March 18, 1901.  Mr. Kyle will be remembered as an honest, industrious
man, an obliging neighbor and a worthy citizen.  His remains were taken to
Pontiac and were buried in the rural cemetery at Franklin by the side of his
wife and deceased daughters.  Services were held in the M.E. church conducted by
the pastor, former friends and neighbors attending.  The sisters of the deceased
furnished a beautiful pillow of flowers for the casket, and the church choir
music was appropriate for the occasion, to all of whom the surviving relatives
desire to extend their heartfelt gratitude in this their hour of need.
