"The Shreveport Times, March 2, 1873
"Death of J. D. Wemple
"We are pleased to be able to correct an erroneous statement which we have twice made as to the death of our old friend. Prof. Thatcher called on me yesterday, for the purpose of giving us the facts, derived from a letter to him by Mrs. Wemple. Mr. Wemple received a kick in the stomach from a mule, and was carried, senseless, into the house.
"After consciousness returned, the importance of his law business with a session of the District Court of DeSoto close at hand, urged him to exertion in preparation which his weakened condition could not bear. Fever supervened, causing delirium, during which he inflicted a wound in his throat that was by no means mortal. The flow of blood relieved his brain and he became rational.He expressed surprise that he had done such a thing, said that he felt no desire to put an end to his life, on the contrary was very anxious to live.
"His health seemed to improve for day or two, but mortification of the stomach ensued, and he died from the kick of the mule which had received.
"It is not true, Prof. Thatcher informed us from the best of his knowledge, that Mr. Wemple ws financially embarrassed. His life was insured in the Knickerbocker Company for ten thousand dollars."
