Prominent Dairyman Passed in 76^th Year

Death claimed one of the district's best known farmers early Friday evening in the sudden passing of John Kyle, South Dumfries, as the result of a heart attack. The late Mr. Kyle, a lifelong resident of the district, was in his 76^th year.

Born in South Dumfries, on the farm now occupied by William Perry, he was a son of the late George Kyle and Margaret Kingsburgh, pioneers in this district.

Previous to going into dairy cattle, he had been in partnership with his brother, James Kyle, in the beef cattle line, and their success in this venture is indicated by the numerous prizes which Kyle cattle took in the foremost cattle shows of 30 years ago.

James H. Kyle Passes

One of the district's best-known farmers and a pioneer dairyman, James Kingsburgh Kyle died at his home on the 7th Concession on Friday. He was in his 86th year. A son of the late George Kyle and Margaret Kingsburgh Kyle, he was born in the district where he spent his entire life-time. Spring Valley Farm, with its broad expanse of rolling acres, was a familiar name in the district, and the fine Jersey herd owned by Mr. Kyle made an excellent record in the dairy field. Years ago he took over the Spring Valley Dairy in Paris as a family enterprise and it was operated by his son Hector up until a few years ago. The dairy supplied milk to Ayr, Paris and much of the outlying district, and gained an excellent reputation for its product - particularly the Jersey milk. The herd at Spring Valley Farm supplied a major part of the milk. The late Mr. Kyle took a deep interest in agricultural affairs in his younger years, and was associated with various organizations working toward the improvement of the farmers' lot. He was a popular figure in social circles and an outstanding hunter and angler. Mr. Kyle was one of the founders of the Hardy Bay Hunt Club which has been hunting deer annually on the French River for many years. His skill and knowledge in this sport were recognized by his companions who enjoyed his company on these trips up until only a few years ago. The late Mr. Kyle was a most interesting conversationalist in his quiet-spoken way. His topics were always well spiced with a native dry wit which was signaled by the approaching jolly smile. He was a valued member of Knox United Church. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. David Brown (Esther), RR 3, Bright; Mrs. Richard Baxter (Helen), RR 3, Bright, and Miss Jean, at home; also a son, Hector of Ayr. Several grandchildren survive as well. He was predeceased by his wife, the former Jean Black, in 1953; by a son, Harold in 1952, and by a daughter Edith, many years ago.

The Funeral

Funeral service was held from the William Kipp Funeral Home, Paris, on Monday with entombment in Ayr Cemetery Chapel. Rev. W. V. Buchanan officiated.
