Lee, Robert E.
Death of Rayville Man
Robert E. Lee Passed Away Friday Night
Robert E. Lee, one of central Ray County's most prominent men and best citizens, died at his home in Rayville Friday
night at 10 o'clock, at the age of 88 years. Mr. Lee had been a sufferer for several years from a cancerous growth
upon his face and about a month ago became seriously ill with a complication of ailments due to the infirmities
of old age, and his condition had been critical several days before his death.
Robert E. Lee was a native of the state of Tennessee, born April 14, 1832. He was a son of Burel Lee, of that state,
and had been a resident of the Rayville country over sixty five years. He had been married three times and is survived
by the third wife, who was formerly Mrs. Nannie Bulin, of the state of Ohio, to whom he was married about fifteen
years ago. Mr. Lee's first marriage was to Miss Frankie Crowley, of this country, and nine children were born to
this union.
Three of the number preceded the father in death and six survive. Mrs. J.C. Swafford, of this city, is a daughter.
Following the death of Mrs. Lee, several years later the subject of this sketch was married to Miss Emily Alder,
of this country, who also passed away a number of years ago.
Mr. Lee was a large land owner in central Ray County for many years and accumulated a great deal of this world's
goods. About 10 years ago he retired from active agricultural pursuits and located in Rayville to spend the remainder
of his days. Our subject had been a member of the Rayville Methodist church for about sixty years and was one of
the founders of the church of that denomination at that place. One of his last acts of kindness toward the church
was a liberal donation a few months ago toward the repairing and improvements made upon the house of worship at
Rayville. Mr. Lee had been a valuable citizen; the county, in his death has lost a good man, and despite the fact
that he had more than fulfilled the scope of years traditionally allotted to man, many hearts are saddened on account
of his passing away, and the tenderest sympathy of many friends is extended to the bereaved members of his family.
Funeral services were held from the Rayville Methodist church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C.J.
Polston, the pastor. Interment was made in the Crowley cemetery south-east of Rayville. Richmond News: October

Loyd, James
JAMES LOYD PASSES AWAY
James Loyd died at his home two miles south of Orrick, Saturday evening, August 9th, 1913, at about 6 o'clock,
after a week's illness of inflammation of the stomach and bowels. The announcement of his death came as a shock
to many of his friends who had not learned of his illness.
Deceased was a native of this community, born November 30th, 1862, on the farm on which he resided at the time
of his death and would have been 51 years old had he lived until the 30th of next November. His entire life with
the exception of a few years residence in Clay county, was spent in this locality and his friends were numbered
by his acquaintances.
On December 19, 1893 he was married to Miss Lou Bailey, a daughter of the late E. B. Bailey, who with four children
survive him.
Mr. Loyd was a good man and citizen, an obedient son, a devoted husband a loving father, a neighbor whom all delighted
to honor, and his removal from the walks of men leaves a vacancy in the community that will be hard to fill.
Funeral services were held at the grave Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Todd, pastor of the Methodist church,
and interment was made in the Riffe cemetery. The sinicere (sic) sympathy of the entire community goes out to the
bereaved widow and children, whose cups of sorrow are filled to overflowing, for only a few short weeks ago the
death angel visited their home and claimed as its own, the baby son and brother, and now the same messenger has
claimed the husband and father.
To the almost broken hearted wife and children, also the aged mother, who sit in sorrow where his footsteps shall
never again find echo, we extend the sympathy of one who honored him as a very dear friend. When they have drained
the cup may the peace that passeth all understanding come to them from One who cares for each little sparrow that
falls.
