From the LeMars Sentinel, Friday, November 27, 1891, Page 4, Column 5:

Kingsley--Died. Tuesday Nov. 4th (error--24th) of Brights disease, Mr. Ralph Bainbridge, aged thirty-seven years and six months. Mr. Bainbridge had been an invalid since eight months of age having become partly paralyzed at that time. He had also been blind nearly all his life. During all of his years of suffering he has been attended by his parents with all the loving care that a kind father and mother could bestow upon a child. His recent illness which was the immediate cause of his death was brief and very painful and death was welcome as freeing from suffering one who could never be restored to health. The funeral services took place at the house and were conducted by Rev. Church of the U. B. church. The remains were interred in the Kingsley cemetery. The parents and friends have the sympathy of all.
