Died at her home on Shoal Creek on the 10th of March, 1883, Mrs. Maggie Bayless, the beloved wife of James N. Bayless. She had been sick but a few days and was not thought to be seriously ill until a short time before her death. She carefully arranged all matters relative to her own burial and funeral. Elder Brooks of Washburn and sellers of Cassville attended the rites at the grave. In the cemetery near the old home of Mrs. Bayless. How and in young womanhood or manhood for us to lay down in the silent tomb, yet how refreshing the thought to know that our dying friends are ready to answer the summons. None, from the sunshine of life into the shades of death, step without a tremor. But the saint, impelled by an unseen band, upheld by the power of an incomprehensible faith launches his frill craft upon what seems to his living brethren a stormy sea, but to him it is a placid, glassy ocean whose rapidly gliding ships know not a storm. Those with unclouded faith and sublimate confidence did our delicate sister Maggie Bayless, mount, at the summons of her Heavenly Master, the gilded decks of the glorious ship, whose waters are eternity. To him who forgets not the painting, struggling little sparrow in the death., and whose pitying eye notes the anguish of all this creatures. this faithful servant took her way.

Mrs. Maggie Bayless (nee Morris) was born in Texas in 1855, and came to Barry County, when quite a child. Her father, the Rev. D. P. Morris, who died several years ago, was a leading Baptist preacher in this and surrounding counties. Under the teaching of her father, Maggie early embraced the religion of Christ. She was a living exemplar of the Heavenly principles inculcated by the Master. An active work in the Sunday School and church, a good wife, and mother, she leaves a number of sisters and brothers, four small children and her heart-broken husband, James M. Bayless, to mourn her loss. We must all soon die, but a small we not choose that good part, as sister Bayless did, and insure happy re-reunion beyond the azure vaulted skies, which at present about her out from our vision. It is not the part of wisdom to prepare now?

By sorrowing friend and amid her worship relatives, on March 11th, the mortal remains of this good Christian lady were gently lowered into the narrow hose of the dead, there in peace serene and undisturbed response to remain until summoned by the voice of Him who will crown her with an imperishable immortality.

He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. His funeral was presented in Cassville by Rev. Sellers. His body was placed in the Cassville Cemetery to await the Resurrection.

Died Sunday, March 26, 1893, Daniel D. Bayless, age 71 years, 5 months, 20 days.

Daniel Deacon Bayless was born Oct 6, 1821, in Washington Co., Tenn., where he was reared on a farm. His father died when he was a small boy. About 1849, he married Sarah Bruner of Greene Co., Tenn., who now survives him, though an invalid for many years during her life. In 1852 he with many others, constructed flat boats and floated down the Tennessee river to Cairo and moved from there to Benton Co., Ark., by wagon, being abut eight months on the journey. Some four years later he bought a farm about one mile north of where Seligman is now located. All his property was gone at the close of the Civil War, in which he took no part and was one of the few men permitted to remain at home during that trying period. He was industrious and straight in his dealing and before leaving the farm in 1889 to come to Cassville, had accumulated a comfortable store for the wintry years. He was a time a silent partner in the mercantile business at Washburn, also at Cassville and was a stockholder and director in the Barry County Bank from its organization in 1886. He was quite and unassuming but a zealous and well wisher of this country. He was a member of the Baptist Church for nearly 50 years, being deacon during much of that time.

He was the father of six boys and two girls. The three younger of the former and the older of the latter died in early youth leaving William K., John M., Jas M. Bayless and Mrs. Carrie M. Allen, who are residents of Barry County.

He was taken suddenly ill March 23rd, suffering from bilious fever and inflammatory rheumatism. His suffering was most acute, but he was courageous, hopeful and rational till Sunday noon when all vital forces seemed to give way and he passed away to a peaceful rest at 9:50 p.m.

The remains were buried at the King grave yard, south of Washburn form his own choice, where his four deceased children are interred. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. B. Billick of Neosho.
