OBITUARY..

The sudden death of our dear father,
Mansfield Hays, which was the result
OF heart disease, and occurred at River
view hospital. Louisa. KY, May 9, 1911.
has cast a shadow of sadness over our
home. We feel that we have lost one
OF our best and dearest friends, yet
while we feel so sad in our hearts and
are so deeply grieved over the loss OF
this dear one, there is no doubt in our
minds that his soul is resting in the
paradise Of Gods eternal love, and, OH
what glorious thought 1t is to know
that we who live for Jesus will be with
our loved one some day, never to part
again. He was a constant reader of
the Bible and he tried so hard to fol
low its teachings; in his latter life his
mind seemed to be mostly of heaven
and spiritual things. Just a short time
before his physical weakness became so
serious, he said that he realized that
his time on earth was short and he said
l am prepared and ready to go and
when leave here my company will be
mostly little children OH how often
l have heard him say he was ready to
go and-I do believe that he met his God
in peace and that day he is in that
blessed land where the sunlight never
dies, singing prasises to God with his
dear little ones, Mollie and Charlie, who
left this land of sorrow many years
ago. He was 73 years, months and
IL days old OH how we miss his dear
sweet smiles ard kind voice. His body
was laid to rest in the family grave
yard Friday morning. May 18th.
