SUDDEN DEATH OF Prominent CITIZEN
The community were shocked yesterday
morning by the announcement of the sudden
and unexpected decease of one of our most
prominent and highly esteemed citizens, Dr.
j. F. Hayward. He returned home from the
East few days since, and Immediately be-
came i'll with the Brain Fever, no doubt indu-
ced by over exertion, and excitement OF busi-
ness. He died yesterday morning, after
very short illness. 1 p a. II Il
DR.. II. had on his hands at the time OF his
illness, an extraordinary amount of business;
which he was carrying on in order and prompt
ness, showing his native energy and industry,
to degree which few men possess. He was
engaged in the erection, for himself and 9TH
ers, of several of the largest and finest build
ings in the City, and others completed will be
monuments to the lberality and enterprise
which has gained him the name of St. Paurs
most valued and best citizen, for such he was,
in his endeavors to promote her prosperity,
and add to her valuable property. In pri-
vate life he was well known, too, for his do
mestic and social virtues, his integrity, piety,
and unostentatious benevolence. And by his
untimely decease society has lost shining
member, his family tender protector, the
City valuable citizen, and everybody, almost,
a friend. His remains will be taken to Will
mington. Delaware, for interment, this after
noon.
