(25 Apr 1917, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Thomas P. Kinkaid was born, lived and died, this an epitome of the history
of mortal man.  I shall not attempt to review in detail his life.  I have
known him for several years, and in all these years he always had a smile
and kindly greeting for each and every one with whom he came in contact. 
Always courteous and affable.  He knew no class distinction.  His friends
were numbered by his acquaintances.  Uncle Tom, as he was familerly (sic)
called by his neighbors and friends was working for T. R. Nelson on his
ranch in New Mexico, when he was thrown from his horse in the streets of
Magdelena, N. M., and was unconscious when picked up.  Dr. Thomas attended
him but he died the next day without regaining consciousness.  T. R.
Nelson had the body embalmed and prepared for shipment, and J. J. Mong
accompanied the corpse back here for enterment (sic).  His remains were
enterred in the Sanders cemetery on the 29th day of March 1917.  Funeral
services were performed by the Masonic Fraternity of which order he had
been a long time member.  He was born in Missouri in the year 1849, hence
was 68 years of age at the time of his demise.  He had just filed on a
claim in New Mexico shortly prior to his death and was anticipating
improving the same. His early life was spent as a cow boy on western
ranches and he still retained a fondness for the business.  He leaves a
wife, who lives here, a daughter, Miss Mary Kinkaid and a brother, J. B.
Kinkaid, living in Oklahoma City, and one sister, Mrs. W. L. Holeman of
Aubry, Texas, all of which attended the funeral, besides his has other
relatives to mourn his death.
