St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, February 17, 1900, Image 3

E. C. Hayes.

Few deaths have caused such a wave of depresssion and sorrow in a community 
as that of E. C. Hayes, which occurred in El Paso, Texas, February 9, 1900.

Everything that travel and skill could procure for his recovery was tried, 
but death cane as a merciful relief, after long suffering. His remains were 
brought to the home of his child-hood, where, at the Opelousas cemetery, 
were rendered, mournfully and tenderly, the last sade duties.

He was possessed of a genial, steadfast and whole-hearted nature that 
pervaded all in his presence, and every one who knew him hold a pleasant 
memory of his life spent here.

During his last illness he was surrounded by all dearest to him on earth - a 
loving wife, faithful brother and devoted parents.

Great sympathy is expressed for the bereaved members of the family; 
especially for the helpless anguish of his aged parents, whose misfortunes 
are indeed severe, having survived all but one of six sons. May they gather 
strength from the Mercy of Heaven and their mutual sorrows to bear them up 
in this trial.

"The heart at rest,
In the quiet breast
And the soul at peace with God."
