The Cairo Messenger, Friday, May 31, 1912
Answered His Last Call
Another one of those who wore the gray has answered the summons and gone to the 
great beyond.

Mr. R. R. Pyles, one of Grady's oldest citizens, was prostrated last Friday 
night with strangulated hernia and so serious was his condition, that it was 
thought best by his physician, Dr. Arline to remove him at once to the hospital 
in Thomasville, which was done, Drs. Arline and Walker leaving immediately for 
that city going through the country in Mr. Harry Hart's automobile.

The trip was made without any mishap and in but only a very few minutes.

It was very necessary that an operation should be performed and Mr. Pyles was 
placed upon the operating table, the operation being performed successfully but 
owing to his extreme age -- being in his ninety first year -- he was unable to 
stand the shock and death came to his relief the next day at 12 o'clock.

His remains were brought to Cairo on train No. 185 Saturday afternoon, a few 
minutes past 5 o'clock.  Interment took place Sunday afternoon in the Leroy 
Cooke cemetery, surrounded by a large number of friends and relatives.

After many trials and narrow escapes, on the field of battle, where he was 
several times wounded, he was permitted to die at home in answer to the last 
call from Him who doeth all things and it is hoped that is well with "Uncle  
Reuben" as he was called by almost every one who knew him.
