WEDNESDAY-JULY 3, 1918
XENIA, OHIO
GREENE COUNTY
Judge Charles H. Kyle received a telegram yesterday morning announcing the death of his brother, the Rev. John M. Kyle, D.D. of Lowell Mass. Judge Kyle was at Mineral Springs in Adams County of this date, when the message reached him. He came to Xenia in the afternoon and took the 6:30 train to Boston.
Dr. Kyle was for twenty five years a missionary to Brazil and was very successful in his work there. His greatest service in that field was the establishment of a Theological Seminary, and the translation of the Bible into the Portuguese language for the use of the people. He was finally obligated to return to the home field, owing to a severe illness. Having recovered in some good measure his strength, he was very desirous to go back to Brazil, but his physicians feared a return of the disease which had disabled him; but the missionary spirit was strong, and he gave himself to work among the Portuguese immigrants in Lowell and vicinity. In this work he accomplished much to the glory of his Lord.
Dr. Kyle was twice married, his first wife having died several years ago. His daughter, Jessie, who spent several years in Xenia at the home of Judge Kyle, survives her parents.
The burial will take place on Friday afternoon at Lowell.
