MT. LAKE PARK

capt. James A. Hayden Will be 81
years of age on the goth of this month.
Sometimes a phrase used in connec-
ton with citizens is over-worked and
becomes shop-worn. But we can
think of no better description of Capt.
Hayden than to refer to him as "the
/ Grand Old Man of Mountain Lake
Park" In the years that have come
and gone since he first made his home
here in the Park, many changes have
taken place. But the Captain has not
changed, except physically. He has
always been affable, courteous, kindly,
gentleman of the old school. For
some months he has been confined to
his home by ills incident to advancing
years, but his many friends hope that
they will again have the pleas
ure of rendering him congratulations
on succeeding birthdays.
