If you look at Kentucky Death Certifs ffrom 1852-1953 you find two for him. The first is record # 21171 that says died 28 Jan 1929 of a fractured skull. Parents are William Henry & Sidney (Lewis) Bayes. This was filed in June of 1929, a whole 4 months after death. The second is record # 21976 that says died 28 Jan 1929 of a fractured skull. Parents are Tom Bayes and Martha Hall. This was filed Jan 28, 1929, immediately close to the death. But then there is an obituary : BAYES, Bob 1929 "Bayes from Johnson Co." Bob Bayes died Monday morning, a few minutes after reaching the Beaver Valley Hospital at Martin, from the effects of a fractured skull resulting when struck Sunday on the head with a pipe wrench said to have been wielded by Delaney Johnson. Details of the killing are lacking, but it is reported that the two men became involved in an altercation while repairing a coal tipple at or near Weeksbury. Johnson was brought here Wednesday morning by Town Marshall Murphy, of Weeksbury, and lodged in jail. The victim was a son of Wm and Mrs. Sidney Lewis Bayes, of Riceville, Johnson county. Besides his parents, he survived by his widow and two children. The body was prepared for burial by C. H. Castle, Martin undertaker, and shipped to Riceville for interment. PAINTSVILLE HERALD THURSDAY FEBRUARY 7 1929 I cannot find Bob in the census records with William and Sidney. So I am thinking the obit and the first death certificate are wrong. Any relatives to help shed some light? Carol Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
