Mr. And Mrs. Kuykendall were on their way home from Amarillo where they had been for the benefit of Mr. KuykendallÕs health and when they arrived at Bellevue he was unable to ranch home. Mr. Kuykendall died of tuberculosis [12 September 1911] from which he suffered many months, but many of his friends believed that if he could be induced to go to the high, dry plains country he would be benefited. However, the results proved wise. Mr. Kuykendall was one of JacksboroÕs leading young business men and was always connected with the public enterprises of Jacksboro. He was a very popular man on account of his genial manner and had hosts of friends all over the country, belonging as he did, to one of the old families of Jack County. He was recently converted and just previous to leaving for Amarillo he joined the Methodist Church. Mr. Kuykendall leaves his wife and five small children who will keenly feel the loss of a loving husband and father. He also leaves a brother and sister, A.B. Kuykendall of Bryson and Mrs. Tom Carter of Finis. Funeral service held at the Methodist Church under the direction of the Masons, and the sermon preached by Rev. O.T. Cooper, of Wichita Falls, former pastor of the Methodist church at Jacksboro. Interment in Oakwood cemetery.
