Information: DEATH CLAIMS MRS. T. J. SAYRE - Mrs. Lydia E. Sayre, wife of T. J. Sayre, passed away at 12:30 Sunday morning, March 7, after a short illness with pneumonia.  She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hyre and was born November 27, 1887, and being the only daughter in a home of seven boys she occupied the place of a second mother.  Her pleasures and interests were always secondary to that of her aged parents and brothers. Early in life she became a member of the Methodist Protestant church, near the scenes of her early girlhood, and later when she became a resident of Ripley, her membership was removed to the M. E. church, South, of Ripley, where she took a very active part in all the activities of the church.      She came to Ripley as a clerk in 1901, holding a position in the O. J. Morrison Store and later resigned to accept a similar position with W. A. Parsons.  On May 17, 1905, she united in marriage with T. J. Sayre, who with her aged parents and the following brothers survive:  V. V. Hyre of Parkersburg, H. H. and C. C. Hyre of Clarksburg, K. K. and R. R. Hyre of Ripley, W. W. Hyre of Huntington and F. F. Hyre of Charleston.  Her death has brought to a sad close the life of a most, womanly woman as well as a successful business career only attained by a few.  The funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. P. Slaughter, were held at the M. E. Church, South, Tuesday afternoon and interment made in Pine Hill cemetery.
