Tupelo Journal, April 21, 1922
	MR. N. M. HAY
	-------
  Died, at his home in Verona on Saturday morning, April 15, 1922, Mr. N. M. 
Hay, aged, 82 years.
  Mr. Hay had been confined to his room for many months from the effects of his 
advanced age and death brought a haven of rest as the tired traveler finds 
refuge at night fall after a weary days’ journey.  His daughter who had so long 
watched at his bedside and had been his constant companion and comfort, with 
near friends was there to bid him the last farewell on earth.
  Mr. Hay, when a young man lived in Tishomingo county and at the opening of 
the war volunteered as a private in Co. E, Second Mississippi infantry under 
Col. Stone and served throughout the war, making a gallant soldier.  After the 
war he moved to Verona where he entered the mercantile business.  Later he went 
on the road as a representative in this territory of Stewart Gwynne and Co., a 
wholesale grocery firm of Memphis with whom he remained for many years.  When 
the firm of J. J. Rogers and Son entered the wholesale business Mr. Hay went 
with them and travelled this territory until his disabilities forced him to 
retire.  He enjoyed a wide popularity and had an extensive business in his 
territory.
  Mr. Hay was a consistent member of the Methodist church and took a leading 
part in all its activities.  He was a man of pronounced views on all matters of 
public interest and stood by his convictions regardless of views held by 
others.  In his association with his friends and neighbors he was a delightful 
companion and his death will bring regret to a wide circle.  He leaves two 
daughters, Mrs. Mary McKevett of New York City and Miss Maggie Hay of Verona 
and one son, Phil Hay of Montgomery, Ala.
  The funeral services were conducted from the residence Sunday afternoon by 
his pastor, Rex Evans, assisted by rev. John D. Hunter, the latter paying high 
tribute to his departed friend.  A large crowd was present and many beautiful 
floral offerings were sent by friends.
