AUTO INJURIES PROVE FATAL TO BRADFORD EDWARD BAYLES

B. E. Bayles, 54 years of age, for seventeen years a resident of Charleston, died at the Charleston hospital Monday shortly before midnight from injuries sustained last Wednesday evening when struck by an auto driven by Gerald Ryan of Mattoon. No date has been set for the coroner's inquest, but a jury was to have been empaneled on Tuesday by Deputy Coroner J. T. Lewis of this city. Funeral services will be held at the Harper Funeral Home, 720 Monroe Street, at 1:30 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The Reverend W. O. Stonebraker of Paris, formerly of this city, will officiate. Burial will be made in the Kansas cemetery.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs Minnie Easton Bayles, three children, Ross Bayles, Russell Bayles, and Mrs Ella Huddleston, all of Charleston; three grandchildren, a brother, Charles Bayles of Paris, and two sisters, Mrs Delia Luther of Westfield and Mrs Maude Lafterty of Charleston. Mr Bayles was a member of the United Brethren Church of Charleston and was also a member of the Charleston Odd Fellows. He was a home-loving nan, kind and considerate of others, and possessed a very pleasing disposition.

Bradford Edward Bayles was born in Youngstown, Indiana, on 29 December 1874, a son of John and Sarah Bayles. In 1900, he moved to Kansas, Illinois, where he had secured a railroad position. Removing to Indiana some years later, he again returned to Illinois and settled in Charleston in 1912. Residing at 17 West Washington street in this city since that time, he became well known in Charleston. For a number of years, and at the time of his death, he held a position as section foreman on the Nickel Plate railroad, with headquarters in Charleston.

In 1894, at Kansas, he was married to Miss Belle Richey, of that village. Four children were born to them, three of whom survive. In 1917, when the tornado ripped its death-dealing way through Charleston and vicinity, Mrs Bayles and a son, Paul Bayles, aged 13 months, were taken away. On January 29,1918, Mr. Bayles again married taking the vows with Mrs Minnie Easton of Charleston. Besides the family there are many friends who mourn the loss of Mr Bayles. Friends wishing to view the remains may do so by calling at the home on Wednesday or before the funeral hour on Thursday.
