Lawson BYBEE, aged 78 years, prominent farmer and stock buyer, of Newcastle township, passed away at 5:45 o'clock Wednesday morning, at his farm home northeast of this city. Mr. Bybee had been in ill health for the past three years, suffering from heart trouble and complications incident with advanced years.
Mr. Bybee had been a resident of Newcastle township for over 55 years during which time he made a host of friends, not only in that community, but throughout the entire county. Until ill health forced his retirement from active duties, Mr. Bybee took a keen interest in civic and political affairs and in his quaint Hoosier homespun philosophies, and his great admiration for the nature and the commonplace things of life, he gained the admiration of everyone with whom he came in contact.
Lawson Bybee was born near Washington Court House, Ohio on April 1st, 1857. His parents were Pleasant and Nancy (DEWITT) BYBEE. Early in life he moved with his parents from Ohio to a farm in Kosciusko county and a short time later the Bybees came to Fulton county, settling in the Newcastle township neighborhood, where the deceased had resided for a period of 55 years. On February 11th, 1883, Lawson Bybee was united in wedlock to Martha KESSLER. Mr. Bybee was a member of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, and throughout his life he was an ardent supporter of the Republican party.
The survivors are his widow, a son, Hal BYBEE, of San Angelo, Texas, and a brother, Neal BYBEE, of Detroit. Two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bybee preceded in death in childhood.
Funeral services will be held at the Bybee farm home, Friday afternoon at two o'clock with the Rev. H. G. BENDER officiating. Burial will be made in the Hamlett cemetery, south of Talma.
Mr. Bybee had an aversion to flowers at funerals, stating that he never wanted them after he died, but only while he was living, so that he could enjoy them. His family will respect Mr. Bybee's wish and requests that friends please omit flowers.
