Bela Fay, fourth and youngest son of Joseph Charles and Rebecka Ellenor Jackson Sanders, was born July 26, 1894 and departed this life Jan. 1, 1947. On April 24, 1936 he was married to Avanelle Drollinger. One son came to brighten and bless this home. Joseph Robert was born Jan. 6, 1941 and as he grows to manhood will sadly miss the companionship and guidance of a loving father. Fay was a member of Kingman Lodge No. 314, Free and Accepted Masons of the Wallace Low Twelve Club, and was a veteran of World War I. In young manhood he worked for the C&EI and Cloverleaf Railroads; later he served as maintenance superintendent of the State Highway. In recent years he has devoted his time to farming and carpentering. Two brothers, Vern O and Clavin J. preceded him in death. His wife and little son, one brother, Virgil of Kingman; one sister, Vivian Curry of Indianapolis; two nieces; six nephews; and all who knew him as friends, will miss his genial smile and companionship. A man of sterling character, a firm defender of truth and justice, why he should be called in the prime of life from labor to repose, why the designs upon the trestle board of his life should have been so soon completed, only the Supreme Architect knows. – thanks so much to S&E
