Oma Elizabeth Nichols, daughter of Henry and Ella Nichols, was born near Bronson on the family homestead, June 24, 1881, and passed to the Great Beyond Nov. 21, 1933, at the Burk Street Mercy Hospital after a brief illness of four days of pneumonia. She was converted and united with the South Fairview church in girlhood. She was united in marriage to Charles W. Bayless Oct. 17, 1898. to this union were born four sons and one daughter; Dan. of the South Fairview neighborhood; Claud of Uniontown; Myrl and Virgil of the home, and Mrs. Reita Crowder, of Fort Scott.
She leaves to mourn their loss, besides her aged mother, three brothers. Sylvester Nichols, of Stultz, Mo., D. R. Nichols, of Fort Scott, and her twin brother, Elmer, of Iola.
Mrs. Bayless will not only be sadly missed by her immediate family to whom she was counselor, advisor and "pal," and her aged mother, to whom she gave such tender care and devotion, but also by her neighbors to whom she was a neighbor in the true sense of the word.
Her memory will ever be held in loving remembrance by all who knew her.
