The Walnut Valley Times, April 8, 1904
The Walnut Valley Times
April 8, 1904

Died, March 28, of measles, Mrs. Emily Hayes aged 81 years and 9 months at her 
home on Hickory creek. Grandma, as she was known by everybody, was a land 
mark, occupying the same farm since the earliest settlers recollect. Her 
husband died years ago leaving her alone with the exception of a small 
grandson who has since grown to manhood. Mr. and Mrs. Marvel Kelly have lived 
in the house with Mrs. Hayes for the past two years. She was remarkably well 
preserved for one of her years, having scarcely any gray hairs and very 
active, able to do her housework, children raising and gardening up to within 
a few days before her death. Grandma Hayes was a zealous Christian woman, 
being a member of the home department of the Brownlow Sunday school for the 
past few years. She will be missed by the entire community for in her death a 
desirable friend and neighbor is lost. But in the home the keenest loss is 
felt for a dear and loving mother. The funeral was held from the family home 
March 29 and the body was laid to rest beside her husband in Fowler cemetery.

Mrs. Marvel Kelly is very ill with measles.

Special mention is due Mrs. I. T. Foster for her kindly care during the 
sickness and death of Grandma Hayes. Mrs. Foster waited on and cared for her 
old sick friend almost day and night for about ten days.
