ed by Her Family and Friends.


Mrs Hayes died at Fremont, Ohio Al
hope of Mrs Hayes recovery was given up
and the sorrowing family sadly awaited the
summons of the grim messenger at the bed
side OF the dying woman. She remained nm.
conscious up to the time of her DEATH
All night long the sorrow wing family watched
around the bedside. Mrs. Hayes lay notion
less, and but for the faint breathing and the
weak tluttering of the pulse there was no
signs of life. The anxious watchers, Whiting
only for the inevitable end we're bowed
with grief and scarcely word was spoken
the long night through. The physicians kept
IN the background and the family were alone
with their loved one. In vain they hoped
for slight rally that might come before
death, so that she could recognize and speak
10 them. AS morning dawned the hold on
life grew weaker and weaker, and finally the
spirit took flight In n voice choked with
Eriet the physician announced that the end
had come, and the family's long vigil closed
IN prostration and grief General Hayes and
| his four grown sons-Burchard, Webb. Bud
and Scott-were deeply affected, while Fanny
is nearly prostrated with grief and her long
sleepless watch at her mo theirs bedside.
