AN APPRECIATION OF
MRS. r. w. HAYES.

A beautiful young woman Anna
Davis of Hartford, Kentucky, in June
1867 was married to Richard w.
Hayes of Breckenridge county. She
died at the home of her son, Albert
w. Hayes in Chicago, February 20,
1919. Her FIVE sons were with her in
her last illness, and laid her to rest
beside her christly husband in the
family cemetery on the Hayes farm,
near West View in Breckenridge
county. These FIVE boys, living in
five states; Clarence d. in St. Paul (;
John P. in Cleveland Albert W. in
Chicago; Henry K. in Detroit; and
r. Murray in Louisville. Albert and
John being accompanied by their
wives, with other relatives and friends
laid her tenderly away to await the
resurrection call. Two daughters,
Lillian and Mary Dimple, went home
before her. .s
Mrs. Hayes was an unusually hand
some woman, very intellectual. of
great vivacity, fine conversational
list, woman of wide reading, CONVEX
SAINT with the best in literature She
was proud of and devoted to her
sons and their wives, more like an
older sister to them than a mother
She was a loyal member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, loved
the house of God, and His word was
not sealed book to her; she loved
it, and Gods will for her was her
will for herself.
In one of my little devotional books
l find many of her pencillings around
precious thoughts, among them this !:
Trust Him Absolutely and always.
Say continual Yes to your Fathers
will" And let this; ooh Lord, who art
as the shadow of great Rock in a
weary land Who beholdest Thy weak
creatures. weary of labor, weary of
pleasure, weary of hope deferred,
weary of self; in Thine abundant
compassion and unutterable tender
ness bring us | pray Thee, unto Thy
rest" Does not that "us" include her
every boy whom she so fondly loved?
May God hear her prayer and COM
plete the family circle, not let it be
married by the absence of one. At an
hour we think not" He comes. Be
ready! Her friend

by Misses May. Lyric by Miss
Hemphill.

"'Hurrah! Hurrah! 'Hurrah! The
