Henry R Hay Dies Suddenly Today

Henry R Hay, prominent businessman and owner of the Hay Studio, died
suddenly at 9 o;clock this morning of a heart attack.  Mr. Hay had been
suffering for several days with a heart ailment and developed  the flu
last night.  He was taken to the Rio Grande hospital only a short time
before he died.  Mr. Hay was born July 15, 1865 in Banff, Scotland and

young man.  He had resided in Salida for nearly 30 years, coming here
from Albany, New York.  Mr. Hay had conducted the only photography
business here during his 29 years residence in Salida.  He purchased the
Studio from Frank Ray.  He was a member of the Masonic order.  Mr. Hay
was one of the most highly respected citizens  of the community and his
death comes as a shock to his host of friends.  He possessed a happy
disposition and friendly nature which won him many life long friends
among his business acquaintances.  He leaves one daughter, Miss Louie
Hay, to mourn his loss.  Miss Hay is seriously ill at her home, 1040 F
street, with the flu.

The body is at the Stewart Mortuary.  Funeral arrangements have not been
