"Funeral services for Mr. and Mrs. Bailey G. Willeford of Kingman, who died together in the wreck of their car last Friday afternoon on the Stringtown road at Mount Hope Cemetery south of Covington, were held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Woodrow funeral Home in Kingman. Mrs. Forrest Grimes, a Christian Science reader from Yountsville, officiated. Burial took place in the Centennial Cemetery.
The Willeford couple had returned from Danville and were enroute home when Mr. Willeford lost control of his car which sideswiped one tree and then hit another head-on. Howard Keller, a cemetery attendant, saw the car partially wrapped around the tree at 1:55 p.m., and both the Willefords were dead.
Coroner Ralph Nelson of Veedersburg was called and from his investigation determined that both the Willefords died at the same time although he learned that Mr. Willeford at times had taken heart stimulants for a coronary condition.
Mr. Willeford, a retired lawyer who had practiced at Washington, Indiana, Indianapolis, and Miami, Florida, was born March 27, 1888, at Washington. He was a graduate of Indiana Law School. His parents were Dr. George and Martha Ann McClure Willeford of Washington. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge at Washington and was a veteran of World War I.
Ada May Willeford was born at Yeddo on May 10, 1884, the daughter of Levi and Martha Brissey Redenbaugh. Surviving her are a brother, Claud Redenbaugh of Kingman, and two sisters, Mrs. Myrtle Silvers of Attica, and Mrs. Ella Robbins of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey.
Mr. Willeford leaves two sisters, Misses Nora and Cora Willeford, both of Artesia, California." – August 9, 1963
