His obituary appeared in the Dayton Daily News on Thursday, June 21, 1979 and edited with additional information by his daughter Marilyn (Traylor) Syx.
Ira was born in Falmouth, Kentucky (Pendleton County) on September 4th, 1898, the son of Willard Harrison Traylor and his wife Lona (Black) Traylor and the brother of Dolly Traylor; Ida Traylor; Logan Traylor; Phillip Traylor; W. Sherman Traylor; Louis Traylor; Harry Traylor; and William Elbert Traylor. He once told me that one of his grandmothers was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian and the other was a full-blooded Apache Indian. He didn't differentiate between Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers, so I think the Indian was way back because I have never been able to find the Indian connection. I think it was back in the Georgia era, as I have not been able to get past Kentucky in my research, but I was always told by my paternal family members that some of the Trayors came to America to fight in the Revolutionary War and married into the Indian territory in Georgia.
During WWI, Ira was a Private and Sargent of the 4th Company 165th Depot Brigade United States Army who enlisted on the ninth day of March, 1918 at Fort Thomas, Kentucky and was honorably discharged on the twelfth day of January, 1919 by way of demobilization. He spent his time in the service hunting the famous Mexican Revoutionist, Pancho Villa. Most of this time he was in Mexico and New Mexico. That's where he learned to love Mexican food. The Hotter and spicier it was, the better. He also served in Troop G 12th Cavalry.
After his discharge from the Cavalry, Ira settled in Miamisburg, Ohio where he met and married his wife Bessie Rebecca Grauser. Ira loved to travel, cook and work in his flower and vegetable garden. He once won an award for the most beautiful flower garden in his neighborhood.
