O. Kyes was instantly killed by a kick from a horse yesterday afternoon. He had gone to the barn to trim one of the horse's hoofs. His wife heard a noise in the barn soon afterwards and then everything became quiet. At once she hastened down and found her husband lying dead back of the stall where he had been working. Neighbors were called in and a physician summoned, but he found life extinct and an exanimation showed that the hoof of the horse had struck Kyes at the base of the brain and thrown him against the stall with such force as to bruise his face. An exactly similar case occurred here on the evening of Decoration Day when Ernest G. Jorn was killed while doing the chores. The two places were only about two miles apart. Kyes leaves a widow, but no children. Omaha World-Herald Omaha,NE June 17,1905 Sources Newspaper Obituary: Omaha World-Herald Omaha,NE June 17,1905 Images Lester Kyes Laura Keyes Marriage
