Narrative

[Obituary for Lydia Bayha, paper unknown but presumed to be a Bluffton publication.]

[headline] Miss Lydia Bayha Died Friday Evening

[second line] Illness of Six Weeks Brought to a Close a Useful Life.

A life of constant usefulness came to a close Friday evening with the death of Miss Lydia Bayha at the home of her brother and sister, George and Miss Lide Bayha at Miller and Morgan streets. Miss Bayha had been ill for six weeks, suffering from a stroke of apoplexy, the second she had suffered since she came to Bluffton last summer to make her home. She breathed her last about 7 o'clock after lying in a very critical condition for several days.

Miss Bayha was born in Stringtown, Ohio, on September 4, 1844. She was the daughter of George and Agnes (Hoblitzel) Bayha and came with them to Bluffton in an early day. Her father was the first tailor to locate in Bluffton and for many years operated a tailor shop at Main and Market streets where the Leader store now stands. With the opening of the graded schools in Bluffton Miss Bayha entered educational work and made that vocation her life work. She was one of the first teachers in the graded schools in Bluffton.

In the late '70s she entered the home of a relative, W.C. Lobenstine, of New York City, then a resident of Leavenworth, Kansas, and raised the members of his family after their mother's death. She performed a similar service for the children of the late A.K. Hackett after the death of Mr. Hackett's first wife and made her home with the Hackett family for a number of years.

Her work as a teacher had taken her to a number of places and included a wide variety of activities. For a time she taught in a mission school for Spanish Children in California and was one of the teachers in a school for wayward girls, in Kansas, at the time of her retirement about five years ago. She also at one time was at kindergarten work in Kansas City. After her retirement she lived at Kansas City until last fall when she came to Bluffton to make her home.

The surviving relatives include the following brothers and sisters: Lewis Bayha, of Monongahela, Pa.; John Bayha, Morganville, Kansas; Mrs. Helen Tremaine, wife of Daniel Tremaine, of Delta, Ohio; Miss Lide Bayha, George Bayha, and Frank Bayha, all of this city. Mrs. Jacob Oman and Mrs. J.W. Tribolet, both deceased, were sisters. Several other brothers and sisters died in infancy.

Miss Bayha was a member of the Presbyterian church.

The funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the home at Miller and Morgan streets, with Rev. T.J. Simons in charge. The interment will be in Fairview cemetery.
