Major James A. Hayden
Although Major James A. Hayden
had been confined to his bed for so
many months and his death was not
unexpected, the announcement of his
demise came as a distinct shock to the
people of the community. On Tues
day morning, as quietly as the falling
of a rose petal, his gentle spirit de-
parted for that realm from which no
traveller returns. His presence will
be missed and his departure is deeply
mourned.
