I'm trying to find more information about my greatgrandfat sher's wife Mrs. G. Dye. His name was Frank Bayer and his obit states that she had died around 1908 in Ray County, MO. Below is his obit.


FRANK BAYER KILLED BY KICK FROM MULE

Quite well known citizen of East Ray died on Friday night from a kick by at mule at J.C. VanTrump Farm

Was Buried at Wakenda Church

Frank Bayer was kicked by a mule Thursday night about 8:00 at the farm of Judge John C Van Trump near Millville . Death resulted at nine o’clock on the next evening.

Mr. Bayer was regularly reemployed by the Van Trump farm. Before supper, he went to the barn and a loose mule ran in at the door, and as Mr. Bayer went into the stall to drive out the intruder, he was kicked in the pit of the stomach and after twenty-five hours of suffering he died, at the age of forty-seven years.

Mr. Bayer had been married twice; he was divorced from his first wife whose maiden name was Cynthia Green and who lives in Oklahoma . One grown daughter (Mrs. Rose Clester) lives in Oklahoma . Some years ago he married Mrs. G Dye who departed this life about five years ago, leaving four children (Mrs. Jesse Moyer of near Stet and three young children, one girl and two boys, the youngest being six years old)

The deceased was of strong Dunkard belief, but was not an active communicate in the membership and ordinances of this historic and vital church.

Mr. Bayer was born in Anderson County , Indiana , son of Andrew Bayer who was a native of Heidelberg Germany . He had four brothers who live in Idaho and one sister, Mrs. Morey Halterman of Ray County . His mother was a sister of Mrs. George Clemens of near Stet. He had lived in Ray County for over twenty years.

Mr. Bayer was conscious until fifteen minutes of this death, which resulted from congestion of the heart and lungs. From the hour of the accident he told his friends that he would die.

The funeral was preached, Sunday at 11:00 o’clock at the Dunkard Church at Wakenda by Reverend Samuel Shirkey. Interment at the Wakenda Cemetery .

This doesn't have anything to do with Frank's wife, but did you know there was a death certificate online for him (Marion Francis Bayer).

My husband is related to Mory C HALTERMAN and one of his daughters married Roscoe R. CLEMENS.

Thank you so much. I wonder if her former husband was Grant Dye?

This is too wierd. I made a trip to Independence, MO LDS Genealogy Library and found the same information. I went to a funeral yesterday in Richmond and stopped by the library and they have a genealogy section. Its sad that the Independence, MO branch had so much more than the Richmond libary.

Again, thanks!

I wondered about Grant because his name starts with a G.
I found a marrige record for Grant DYE and Mahaley CHATMAN for 16 November 1892 in Ray County, MO. They were on the 1900 Ray County census in Grape Grove Twp. Maybe his wife died, or they got a divorce between 1900 & the date that Sarabell married Frank Bayer? I did not find any other marriage records for Grant Dye. I checked from 1868-1907.

Jeanne

The Ray County Museum In Richmond has a Genealogical Library. We have more information then the public library at this time.

Grant Dye and his wife Mahala were also on the 1920 Ray County census. I didn't find them in 1910. I don't believe that Grant was the husband of Sarabell.

Jeanne

On Frank and Sarabell's marriage certificate do you know what kind of information I would find if I ordered it from Ray County?

I don't believe there would any more information than was found in the Ray County Marriage book. Joyce Swearingin did an excellent job of transcribing the records. I don't see her leaving anything important out. If it were me, I would probably order a copy. I like to have copies of everything.

Jeanne

We could not find it two weeks ago when I was there. Thanks! Paula

The marriage license issued in Ray County MO reads F.M. Bayer, Millville, Ray County, Mo., who is (39)over the age of twenty-one years and Sarabell Dye, Millville, Ray County, Mo., who is (41) over the age of eighteen years. License was issued 17 Dec 1904. They were married at Richmond, Ray County, Mo., on 17 December 1904, by Justice of the Peace, Wm. Baber, (Maybe Raber). This marriage was recorded 19 Dec 1904 by A. B. Conrow. Hope this is the kind of information you were speaking of.
