Word has been received by Judge A. D. Sayre, telling of the death of his brother, CALVIN W. SAYRE, in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday. Calvin W. Sayre, though having left Montgomery eighteen years ago, is known and loved by hosts of friends in Montgomery, who regret his death. He was in his 65th year.
Mr. Sayre was during his life a railroad man, serving on many of the roads of Alabama, as a conductor. He left the State eighteen years ago for California, where he entered his old business with the railroads.
Calvin W. Sayre served throughout the War Between the States in the 3rd Alabama, and later in General John T. Morgan's Calvary Regiment. He was married, while in Montgomery, to Miss Kate Elsberry, who died childless many years ago. He is survived by two brothers, A. D. Sayre and John Reid Sayre, of Montgomery. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Sayre.
The remains of Calvin W. Sayre were interred in Los Angeles, the Masons of that city, conducting the burial at the request of Judge A. D. Sayre of Montgomery. ~~~ THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER, Montgomery, AL, Jan. 17, 1909, page 7
*************
C. W. SAYRE, a gardener, aged about 50 years, who worked in the Westmoreland tract, and resided at a lodging-house conducted by R. N. Waton at No. 609 East Second Street, was found dead in his bed yesterday afternoon as the result of a fracture of the skull received in falling on the sidewalk last Monday.
A servant found the corpse, and as it appeared that he had been shot in the back of the head. It was presumed to be a case of murder, but an autopsy last night by Dr. Campbell, showed that there was no wound on the body except a slight fracture of the skull at the base of the brain, which the physician stated might have been caused by a fall.
This was borne out later in the evening by the statement of a friend named Pat Keys, who asserts that he met Sayre at First and Vignes Streets on Monday evening, and Sayre said at that time that he had fallen that afternoon and had severely bruised the back of his neck. Keys took Sayre to the East Second Street lodging-house and put him to bed. Death followed during the night from the shock. The autopsy showed that the left side of the brain was badly clotted with blood and the stomach conducted nothing but wine.
In the pockets of the dead man were two pictorial postal cards from Montgomery, Alabama, sent last September and signed by a woman name Rosalind. She wrote that one of the buildings was "where grandma stayed," and asked if the other one looked the same, "as when you were here." ~~~THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 13, 1909, page 23
