Warner Alvin Mayle |
Warner Alvin Mayle was born in 1874 Barbour County, WV, the
son of Richard Z. and Mary (Minard) Mayle.
As a boy, in about 1884, he and his parents and siblings settled for good in or
near Avon,
Doddridge County.
Warner never married. He was employed by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and as a teamster.
Circa 1917, when he registered for the federal military draft during World War I, Warner was employed as a coal miner for the Robinson and Davis Coal Company of Flemington, Taylor County, though maintaining his permanent address in Long Run. On the draft card, he listed his race as white.
Warner resided for many years with his bachelor brother Hezekiah on the old farm on Long Run.
Warner died of a heart attack at the age of 75 on Jan. 28, 1950. He was buried in Stanley No. 1 Cemetery on Buckeye, and his obituary was published in the Herald.
