A fact worthy of note is that Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes had, during the whole fifty years of
their welded life, lived on tha same spot, in
the same house, having moved there during
the first week of their honeymoon. Moreover,
Mr.. Hayes spent his entire life within one
mile of the spot of his nativity, and therefore

great student of nature. Simple in his tastes,
he led the "simple life" In his earlier man
hood he received vocal training and was a
singing master of the old school. In early life
he became identified with the Baptist church,
and he held to the belief that those who do the
best they can need not fear to meet their
Maker. He was noted for his charity, both in
word and deed. He made allowances for the
fralties of humanity and ever spoke kindly
word for all. 1t was trait of character
worthy Of imitation. Just before passing over
he shook hands with the unseen, his face light
ing up with genuine pleasure at this reunion
with those loved ones on the other side, and
passed out with a smile upon his lips as peace
fully as infant falls asleep. The funeral
services took place at his late residence Thurs
day afternoon, December 1st, under the direc-
tion of Mr.. F. w. Haley. The officiating clergy
man was Rev. Charles Ellingwood. Three beau
