An unusually sad accident, resulting in the death of John G. Bayes, occurred Saturday. The young man was driving a spirited horse which became frightened when a branch of a tree caught in a wheel of the vehicle, and Mr. Bayes was thrown to the ground and injured internally. He was taken to the hospital at Bellingham, and everything that human skill could accomplish was done for him, but without avail, and the end came Sunday morning when he quietly passed away.
John Garfield Bayes was born in Morgan County, Kentucky, June 25, 1881, and died April 21, 1912, being thirty years nine months and twenty-seven days of age. When he was twelve years old he moved with his parents to Illinois. At the age of seventeen he was converted, and joined the Methodist church, and has lived a mostly exemplary Christian life. He was fully resigned to the will of the Father, and on the day of his death informed his parents and relatives that all was well with him whether it was for him to go or remain. Of an exceedingly kind and thoughtful nature, his last words were words of cheer and encouragement for those who were left behind.
Besides his aged parents, three sisters and four brothers, and a host of relatives and friends mourn his loss. A sister and one brother preceded him to the better world. Two sisters and one brother reside in Illinois and were not present at the time of his death. The funeral services were held Monday under the auspices of the odd Fellows fraternity of which Mr. Bayes was a highly honored member. The Reverend Herbert Jones, of the Methodist church, delivered the funeral address.
Card of thanks in May 2, 1912 issue signed by: Mr. & Mrs. S. E. Bayes, Ellen Bayes, S. M. Bayes and family, E. W. Bayes and family.
