WELL KNOWN BARNETTS CREEK WOMAN SUCCUMBS, AGE 74
Mrs. J. B. (Pete) Bayes, age 74 years of Barnetts Creek, passed
away at her home on February 25. Mrs. Bayes had been in ill
health for several years, but seven weeks before her death was
confined to her bed. The family was called together when her
illness became serious and remained with her until the end.
Mrs. Bayes was a member of the Rice family and was one of the best
women of the county, loved and respected by all who knew her. She
was a member of the United Baptist church and will be remembered
for the many kind things she did for friends and strangers alike
when they came to her home. Her hospitality is almost a legend
with the good people of Johnson and surrounding counties who have
visited at the Bayes home.
Mrs. Bayes was a devoted wife and mother. The heartfelt sympathy
of their many friends go out to the family and especially go to
the aged husband.
Besides her husband she is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Willie
Powers of Rush Fork and Mrs. Harry Tackett of Barnetts Creek., two
sons, J. M. Bayes of Van Lear, Ky., and Dr. Lee Bayes of West
Liberty, Ky. Three members of the family have passed away in
recent years. Mrs. Addie Rice, Paintsville, Frank Bayes of
Barnetts Creek, and Captain Sherman Bayes, of Massachusetts.
Besides the immediate family Mrs. Bayes leaves a sister, Mrs.
Clark Dixon, Buchanan, Ky., and six brothers, Martin Rice, Manford
Rice, Alec Rice, all of Barnetts Creek; Wilse Rice of Manila, Ky.,
Dr. Grant Rice, Salyersville, and George Rice of Oh Springs.
