R. H. KINNEBREW
From a private letter to a friend we get the particulars of the death of
R. H. Kinnebrew.  He was taken sick on July 18, and rapidly grew worse
until his death occurred on the 26th.  He was taken to a medical spring
near Athens, Georgia, where he lived at the advice of his physician, in
the hope that the change would do him good.  His wife and two
brothers-in-law went with him to the spring, where he died two days after
arrival.
A great many of our citizens knew Mr. Kinnebrew, as he, with his family
lived here for two years.  R. H. Kinnebrew was a good man, kind, generous
and just.  He has gone to a better world.
(8 Aug 1907, Roger Mills Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Judge R. H. Kinnebrew, formerly a citizen of Elk City, and a member of the
law firm of Tracy, Gilkerson and Kinnebrew, died July 26, 1907, at
Franklin Springs, Georgia, of Bright's disease.  At the time of his death
he was a resident of Athens, Georgia, but had been taken for his health to
Franklin Springs.
Judge Kinnebrew lived in Elk City for two years, and had many friends
here, who will regret to learn of his death; he was a typical Southern
gentleman and made a host of friends here by his genial and hospitable
disposition.
He was a brother-in-law of our townsman, T. L. Van Vacter.
The Roger Mills Democrat extends sympathy to the bereaved family and
friends, who mourn his loss.
