The Western Spirit, Paola, Miami Co., Kansas, Friday, September 2, 1892, page 3:
"Leonard S. Hymer, of Paola, died in Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday morning August 30th. Mr. Hymer in attempting to board a moving train near the Union Depot at Kansas City on Thursday evening, August 25th, fell and the car wheel cut off the toes of his right foot. He was bruised about the body in several places and his head badly hurt. Assistance arrived shortly after the accident and was taken to the City Hospital. There his bruises were dressed and part of the foot amputated. As soon as word reached Paola Dr. Wesley Hymer, went to Kansas City and found him doing reasonably well. He returned and Mrs. Hymer, Len's wife, went up and returned last Monday. The surgeon decided it best not to remove him for some time. That evening he was taken with congestion of the brain and died within a few hours. This doubtless was caused by the injury received on the head. The funeral was held in this city yesterday and a large concourse of relatives and neighbors attended the burial in the Paola cemetery.
Mr. Leonard S. Hymer was born in Schuyler county, Illinois, in March, 1852, and came with his father to Kansas about 30 years ago. He was the next eldest son. He has been for many years associated with his father, Dr. Wesley Hymer, in the practice of Veterinary Surgery and was very successful. He leaves a wife and two sons, Perry and Millard, aged 10 and 5 years, to mourn his death. Len was a useful citizen and upright neighbor. Friends of the family on every hand extend deep sympathy to the bereaved wife, children, parents and other near ones."
