"W.B. Redmon Passes Away
William Berry Redmond [sic], 83 years old, retired farmer, was found dead at his home on the old Lair road Tuesday morning, November 17. His brother-in-law, E.C. Cox, who has property nearby and had, for many months, been looking after the old gentleman during the day, made his usual call and found the door locked. Linus Lebus, Gus and Joe Lang, and Sheriff H.W. McIlvain were called, a door was forced and Mr. Redmon was found where he had fallen from his chair. He had been dead for hours.
His body was removed to the Whaley Funeral Home where it remains for services to be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with his nephew, the Rev. Joe H. Berry, officiating, assisted by the Rev. C.N. Barnette. Burial in Battle Grove cemetery. Pall bearers are from a list given by Mr. Redmon to John M. Cromwell, a close friend, in 1928. They are J.M. Cromwell, James T. Wilson, R.W. Switzer,
Sr., Edward Cox, Jr., Redmon T. Berry and E.C. Cox. He was a member of the Cynthiana Christian church.
Mr. Redmon was born October 17, 1859, on the farm on which he died. He was a son of the late William Temple and Amanda Petit Berry Redmon, pioneer residents of this section, both members of prominent families. He married Miss Ellen Cox and she died February 16, 1922, in the home where they had spent nearly all of their married life and since that time he has lived alone. He took much interest in current affairs, and in his lifetime had accumulated a storehouse of experiences which were always of interest to his listeners, and long years must pass before his stories of the early days in Cynthiana, the battles fought here and other reminders of Civil War days, will be forgotten."
