Obituary of Eunice Belle Palmer Hayes 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 20 Nov 1925.  


Numbers of friends and relatives in the county were sadly shocked 
by the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. H. T. Hayes, which took place Friday, 13 
Nov 1925, night at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Palmer, in Mt. Zion 
community at 11:00 PM.  She was taken suddenly ill with an attack of acute indigestion 
and died in 15 minutes.  Mrs. Hayes had just arrived here on Tuesday night from her 
home at Jacksonville, Fla., to visit her parents, when her life was so suddenly and 
ruthlessly snuffed out by the hand of death.  Funeral services were held Sunday, 15 Nov 
1925, afternoon at 3:30 PM at the Mt. Zion church, where the deceased had attended 
from childhood, Rev H. N. Burnett, the pastor, conducting the services.  A large number 
of relatives and friends of the deceased were present to pay their last tribute of love and 
respect, which was attested by the many beautiful floral offerings.  Mrs. Hayes, was 
before her marriage, Miss Eunice Palmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Palmer.  She 
was born and brought up in Mt. Zion community, attended school in Camilla and 
graduated from Camilla High School.  She was married two years ago to Mr. H. T. 
Hayes, of Pelham, the young couple moving later to Jacksonville, Fla. To make their 
home.  She was just twenty six years of age, in the bloom of her young womanhood, 
filling happily and usefully her office in life as wife and home keeper, sister and 
daughter, when her career was suddenly closed, leaving a storm of grief and sorrowful 
loneliness in the hearts of her loved ones.  Sweet and womanly, gentle and kind, she was 
generally loved by family, relatives and friends, and her going away has caused a general 
sadness and feeling of loss.  The deceased is survived by her young husband, her father 
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Palmer and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. O. D. 
Jones, Mrs. Burl Maples of Mobile, Ala.; Mrs. H. H. Yates of Pelham; Miss Vera Palmer, 
Messrs. Charlie, Roy, Albert, Ben Hill, Julius and Bernard Palmer.  A sincere and tender 
sympathy is extended by their many friends to the bereaved family in their hour of 
sorrow.
