Lawrence Day and sister, Rubie Hobart have gone to Arnold, Kansas, where their brother, Charley and his wife were killed Wednesday in a train accident.  They were starting home this Tuesday with the bodies, which will be interred in Majorville Cemetery.

Bessie's remains were brought to Illinois for burial, but her family chose to have her buried somewhere other than Majorville Cemetery.  In a second obituary, transcribed below, she was named as Bessie Bennett.  She and Charles were said to have married June 19, 1925, although in the 1930 census, her surname was shown as Small, rather than Little (as stated in the obituary at left) or Day.

Charlie Day, son of John William and Ella Yetter Day was born May 19, 1890 near Fountain Green, Illinois.  In 1912 he was married to Mary Jane Gittings of LaHarpe, Illinois.  In the fall they moved to the vicinity of Yuma, Colorado, where they resided until 1920 at which time they moved to Arnold, Kansas.  To this union were born six children, one dying in infancy, Dorothy, age 8 died in 1922, and Charles, age 20 in 1935, Mary Elizabeth, now Mrs. Herbert Van Deventer, Ensign Fay Day of the United States Naval Reserve who is in training at Harvard University and Sergeant Clarence Day in the medical corps of the United States Army, stationed near Derby, England, remain to mourn the passing of a loving father.  The mother, Mary, passed away in 1924 at Christmas time.  Charlie Day and Bessie Bennett were united in marriage on July 19, 1925.  To this union two children were born: Clyde Duane and Gayla Fern.  Also surviving the deceased are two brothers Lawrence Y. and James L. and one sister Rubie D. Hobart, all of whom are living near Majorville.

Funeral services for Charlie Day were held on January 31 at 1:30 at Majorville with Rev. Maynard of Camp Point officiating.  Herbert Hulson sang "Nearer My God To Thee", and "Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere" being accompanied on the piano by his wife.  Interment was at Majorville.
