Sun, The (Baltimore, MD) - November 26, 1993
Deceased Name: Bernice E. Bayne
Bernice E. Bayne, whose Waverly restaurant was a popular gathering place for cabbies, city public works crews, business people and neighbors for nearly 30 years, died Nov. 13 of Alzheimer's disease at the Belair Convalesarium. She was 86.
Mrs. Bayne operated Elmer's Grill in the 2600 block of Greenmount Ave. from the early 1950s until selling the business in 1968.
During World War II, she worked at Bendix-Frieze in Towson as a machinist and later was a nurse's aide for Dr. Ernest Cornbrooks.
Born in New Freedom, Pa., Mrs. Bayne moved with her family to Govans in 1921 when her father, Nelson R. Coleman, was appointed a police officer. She left school to help raise her 10 brothers and sisters after her mother died.
She married Elmer W. Bayne, a streetcar motorman with the Baltimore Transit Co., in 1922. They divorced in 1948, and he died in 1972.
She lived for many years on Alhambra Avenue in Govans and in the Walker-Mews senior citizens complex in Cedarcroft, where she did volunteer work and was recognized by the city government as one of "Baltimore's Best" in 1982. After living with a sister for several years, she moved to the nursing home in 1988.
She was active in the women's group at Govans United Methodist Church and enjoyed painting landscapes in oils, collecting antique furniture and following the Orioles.
Services were held Nov. 18 at Providence United Methodist Church in Towson.
She is survived by four sons, John P. Bayne of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Elmer L. Bayne of Towson, Donald S. Bayne of Woodlawn and Merle E. Bayne of Lutherville; a daughter, Margaret Cormack of Parkville; two brothers, Ernest Coleman of Elizabeth, N.J., and Thomas Coleman of Govans; four sisters, Dorothy Gaubert of York, Pa., Ruth Bodlein of Stewartstown, Pa., and Helen Wedeman and Ethel Tanner, both of Riderwood; 17 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
