NAYLOR, Alfred 1840 - 1909

Died at his home near Spokane Wash., Feb 2, 1909, from injuries sustained in a 
fall, Alfred Naylor, age 69 years. A few days ago a message was received here by 
Mr. Staples conveying the sad news of Brother Alfred Naylor's death, no 
particulars being given. From later information it appears that he was 
precipitated from his wagon by a sudden jerk of his horse while loading baled 
hay, the fall bursting the main artery of his neck. He quickly regained his feet, 
not realizing that he was hurt, but soon complained of serious injury. His 
neighbor, from whom he purchased the hay, hurriedly conveyed him home. He soon 
lost all consciousness, dying in a few hours without apparent pain. Poor, old 
grief-stricken wife and three children, who can portray their sorrow for they all 
loved him with a tenderness truly beautiful to behold and indeed he merited it 
all! His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Colfax, Wash., his last 
earthly home, having removed to that State from Clinton, Mo., a few years ago. 
Brother Alfred Naylor was born near Fincastle, Ohio, early in Feb, 1840, being one 
of eight children, two of whom survive him, Andrew Naylor, of Carthage, Mo., and 
Mrs. Lafe Massie, of St. Louis. Early in the Civil War, he enlisted in the 10 Ky., 
V.O., maintaining a record second to none for bravery and soldierly qualities 
among his comrades. Later he joined the 38th O.V.I. and participated in all the 
hardships and many of the engagements of the famous march to the sea and 
thence to Richmond under the great Sherman. In 1866 he was married to Mrs. Lide 
Collins, of Repley, Ohio, and in '67 he migrated to Missouri, settling on a farm 
near Ladue. Three children were born to this union - James, Lilly and Laura, all of 
whom reside in Washington. Bro. Alfred was a quiet, retiring man and greatly 
respected by all who knew him. As City Marshal of Clinton, being twice elected, 
he was a faithful, efficient officer. A kind, true husband, a tender father and a 
good citizen crowned his life - His stepbrother, Jerome McCoy
