SARAH M. (KINSELEY) HAYDEN

     Sarah M. Kinseley was born near New Philadelphia, Ohio, August
7, 1837, and died at her home in Lowell, Ind., at 6:30 o'clock Monday
morning, Jan. 22, after an illness of over a year from heart trouble.
Her age was 68 years, 5 months and 15 days.
     She came with her parents to West Creek, near Sherburnville, May
10, 1852, and on December 10, 1854, was untied in marriage to Mr.
Hayden. To them nine children were born, five daughters and four sons,
7 of whom are living except George who died May 4, 1890 and Grace on
May 19, 1890.
     Mr. Hayden and wife lived on a farm near West Creek from the
time of their marriage, with the exception of one year in Iowa,
until about seven years ago when they moved to Lowell, to pass their
declining years in ease and comfort. On December 10, 1904, they
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, which occasion
was a happy and notable one in their lives.
     Mrs. Hayden could be classed as one of the pioneers of Lake
county, Indiana, passing through the trials vicissitudes incident to
the early settlement of the country. She was a woman of rare social
qualities, and her home was the scene of many joyous occasions. Among
those who were her neighbors and acquaintance she will be greatly
missed, as well as by the large circle of near relatives.
     During the year or more of her illness Mrs. Hayden was a patient
sufferer. She made a confession of her sins to the Master and received
a full assurance of forgiveness. A good and noble woman has gone to
her reward. She was devoted to her family and friends, and her many
deeds of kindness will always remain fresh in the memory of those who
knew her.
Short services were held at the home after which the remains were
conveyed to West Creek church where the final burial services were
conducted at 1 o'clock Wednesday, Jan. 24.
     Besides the husband, who survives, the children living are: Mrs.
Alice Smith, of Sherburnville; Mrs. Bertha Brannon of Billings,
Montana; Mrs. Jessie Clark, near Lowell; Mrs. Martha Hayhurst, of
Lowell; Fred Hayden of West Creek; Roy Hayden of West Creek; Elmer
Hayden, of Lowell. Her aged mother resides in Lowell. There are also
twenty seven grand children and one great grand child.
