Russell Hayden 
Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, August 3, 1939 
Colored Boy Tetanus Victim 
   Russell Hayden, 22 year old colored boy, died at a Lexington Hospital 
late Tuesday night of tetanus which developed from a scalp wound received 
in a fight with another colored boy, Arthur Bassett Lacy, son of Sylvaneus 
Lacy, two weeks ago.  The wound was said to have been inflicted by a rock 
and was not considered serious until complications developed a few days ago. 
   After being wounded, Hayden sought medical aid from a local physician, 
who dressed the cut and advised him to take tetanus serum as a preventative 
measure, which he refused to do. 
   The dead boy is a son of Will Hayden, local tinner and respected colored 
citizen.
