Ionia Sentinel, 16 Jun 1950

Jerry C. Hayes, 78, died at Grace hospital, Detroit, Thursday at 10 a.m.

He was born November 18, 1871, in North Plains township, the son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Mason Bradly Hayes.  His early life was spent in North Plains township.  
He attended Ionia high school and Poucher’s Business college, an institution 
formerly located in Ionia.  On June 28, 1893, he married Miss Jessie Crowell of

Following the marriage, the couple moved to Chicago where Mr. Hayes engaged in
