| Obituary |  YADON DIES. Bayard Yadon, one of my favorite newspapermen, died Monday morning and I was hurt when I heard about it. As the News-Sentinel said, he was a pipe-smoking, philosophical person. I used to work with Yadon and he was sort of a philosopher. In a calm sort of way he would say funny things that would put me to roaring and he and I used to back off in corners and tell each other all the latest pokes we'd heard. Although I haven't seen him but two or three times in a couple of years, I know I'll miss him.13 |

| Narrative | The following is from information provided by Ada Huffman. Bayard had a law degree, but he became a newspaperman instead of practicing law. During his WWI service, he wrote letters home to his sister that were so good that they were published in the newspaper. That gave him is start in the newspaper business. In addition to writing for the paper, he wrote poems and short stories.17 |
| Newspaper Article | 5 October 1933; (from the files of Reta Harrell Weiss) Bayard Yadon, on The News-Sentinel editorial staff, is a native of Grainger County, but moved to Claiborne County while quite young. He came to Knoxville in 1909, going to school here and attending Park City, and Knoxville High Schools. He then studied law and passed the state bar examination. He went to war in 1918, serving for a year overseas, and was mustered out in 1919. He then entered the purchasing department of the Standard Knitting Mills. He began his newspaper work in 1922 by joining The Sentinel. Four months later he went to the Middlesboro Daily News in Kentucky, where he became news editor. He returned two years later to become city editor of The New-Sentinel, which position, he held, when The News and The Sentinel combined. He has been with The News-Sentinel since that time. Yadon is married and has two children, Ada Louise, six, and Thelma Joyce, three. His wife was Miss Ella Peters of Anderson County. He lives at Ritta.18 |

- [S2299] Bryan, Jerry: research notes, 11 February 2017 (Joyce Yadon and Orval Nall marriage).
It is likely that Sallie Jane Cole was named for her great grandmother Sarah (Sallie) England. It was common in the 1800's that Sallie was a nickname for Sarah. However, Sallie Cole's name probably was Sallie rather than Sarah. The only record that lists her name as Sarah is the 1880 census. Given all the other records that list her name as Sallie, the 1880 census enumerator probably heard that her name was Sallie and wrote down it down as Sarah, much as a census enumerator might have heard that someone's name was Bob and written it down as Robert.
It is likely that Sallie Jane Cole was named for her grandmother Jane Peters.

Mrs. Thelma Joyce Harrell, 38, of Chattanooga, injured in a flaming three-car smashup on Rutledge Pike late Saturday night, died in the intensive care unit at St. Mary’s Hospital early this morning. Death was attributed to a severe head injury. Mrs. Harrell’s husband and 5-week-old daughter Amy Louella also were injured in the accident which sent five people to the hospital. Mr. Harrell, 37, and Amy Louella, are still in St. Mary’s. Mr. Harrell is suffering from leg and chest injuries, and the daughter has a skull fracture. No charges will be filed because as far as could be ascertained there was no proof of negligence on the part of any of the drivers, police said. Mr. and Mrs.. Harrell, with their youngest child, were coming from Chattanooga to visit the home of the victim’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Cole of Burkhart Rd., when the accident occurred. Police said the Harrell pickup truck was going east on Rutledge Pike when it was struck by an out-of-control car driven by Mrs. Ethel Marie Gaut, 33, of Holston River Rd. It was raining at the time. Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at Roberts with burial in Lynnhurst Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Roberts. Besides her husband, the parents and Amy Louella, Mrs. Harrell leaves four other daughters, Mrs. Carolyn Dunning, Miss Jean Harrell, Miss Martha Harrell, and Miss Rita Harrell, all of Chattanooga; a son, A. E. Harrell III. Chattanooga: one stepdaughter. Mrs. Edith Brewer, Sneedville; a sister, Mrs. Harold Huffman, Greenville, O.; a brother, Edward Cole, Knoxville, and a grandson.

- [S2299] Bryan, Jerry: research notes, 11 February 2017 (Joyce Yadon and Orval Nall marriage).
It is likely that Sallie Jane Cole was named for her great grandmother Sarah (Sallie) England. It was common in the 1800's that Sallie was a nickname for Sarah. However, Sallie Cole's name probably was Sallie rather than Sarah. The only record that lists her name as Sarah is the 1880 census. Given all the other records that list her name as Sallie, the 1880 census enumerator probably heard that her name was Sallie and wrote down it down as Sarah, much as a census enumerator might have heard that someone's name was Bob and written it down as Robert.
It is likely that Sallie Jane Cole was named for her grandmother Jane Peters.

Hello, Mr. Bryan,
I have looked up to 2 weeks after the date of death for Orval Nall, but did
not find an obituary listed for him. According to his Find A Grave listing,
he is buried in Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, in Gantt, AL (Covington
County), so I think he was no longer living in Mobile at the time of his
death. I am sorry I could not find what you are looking for.
Regards,
Elizabeth Theris
