"The Normangee Star", Vol. XXV, No. 33, June 24, 1937.
"George H. Kyle Passes. George H. Kyle died at the sanitarium in Kerrville last
Wednesday, June 16, after several years of bad health, which steadily grew
worse. He was brought to Normangee Friday afternoon for burial in the family
plot beside his mother, sisters and brother in Hopewell Cemetery. The body was
bought from Kerrville by train to Jewett, where it was taken to his home then by
hearse to Normangee, accompanied by members of his family and by numerous
friends. Rev. Z. Z. Nobles had charge of the services, assisted by Revs. C. E.
Bullock, R. N. Davis, and Thos. H. Gibbs, and by the Methodist pastor at Jewett,
of whose church Mr. Kyle was a member. Bro. Nobles gave a high encomium of Mr.
Kyle, having been closely associated with him in a business way for a number of
years. We understand it was the special request of Mr. Kyle that Bro. Nobles
preach the funeral sermon. George H. Kyle was born November 19, 1886, son of J.
W. and Susie R. Kyle in Hamilton County, Texas. While still a small boy they
moved to Normangee, where George grew to manhood and received his education. He
studied telegraphy and held positions with the I. & G. N. Railroad at various
points, and for the past several years has been located at Jewett. On October
17, 1926, he was married to Miss Pocahontas Watson. They have two children, a
girl and a boy. George has always been one of the special favorites of the Star
man, and we join in with his relatives in shedding a tear over the early
departure of this splendid man".
