Most of the Court House officials left their offices in charge of clerical employs and attended the services. The local officials of the Jr. O. U. A. M. today ordered a floral wreath for the casket. Mr. Yadon had faithfully reported for several years the activities of this order in The News-Sentinel. Judge Hu B. Webster today said this publicity had been invaluable to the order.

Gay Talk by Bones Barrier, Knoxville Journal, 26 Sep 1933, p.4. 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.

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. (Ada Huffman)
