room at the Hotel Bancroft. This

al of all the people of this commun-

WAS A FRIEND
TO EVERYONE
AUNTY HAYES

} Aunty Hayes passed fro.n this life
into the great beyond at the home o
, her neice, Mrs. John Alden, at L:
o'clock last Monday night after al
illness of about six weeks with can
Ger of the stomach. She had been
in feeble health for several months
and remained in her own home until
six weeks ago she gave up and went
to the home of her neice where she
might receive better care and atten-
tion and where everything possible
was done for her comfort and recov-
/ cry, but owing to her advanced age
soon became apparent, all was to no
avail and the death angel came as
the only relief at the midnight houl
on February 9Th.
Aunty Hayes will long be remem-
bered for her life of devotion to
others. She was not blessed with
children of her own, but sought to
be a true mother to all with whom
she associated. Her noted character
for kindness and good word for
everyone, and speaking i'll of no one.
stands as a monument of her career
in this world of more than four
score years. To say that she will be
missed in this community is but
speaking the truth. She will be
missed in sickness and by her fri
ends in distress, and her devoted
work in church. She became a Chris
tian in early life and has lived true
to her faith in her Maker, and has
now gone to be with him and re-
ceive her reward for the life she
has lived. May her life be an ex-
ample to others.
Mary Dixon was born in England |
near London, March 1st, 1899 and (

came to the United States in 1872,
living in the state of Michigan for
