Hayes was born May 27, 1868 near Alabam and died in Huntsville, March 27, 1911. He was united in marriage with Miss Lotie Grabb, Dec. 27, 1889. In 1892 he made Profession of religion and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church and when that church united with the Presbyterian he went with it and therefore was a member of the Presbyterian church U. S. A. at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. Brother Hayes as a citizen commanded the respect and confidence of all and his sudden demise was not only sad but a shock to all. He was serving as deputy sheriff and making a good officer, through and honest in all his endeaveors and we believe him to have been pure in heart. "Blessed are the pure in heart or they shall see God." Matt. - J. B. J.C. Boatright [Transcribed and Submitted by Kellie S. Thompson]
