PIONEER SINCE 1872 ANSWERS SUMMONS
James Hayes, Native of Tennessee, Died Friday 
Following Long Illness
WAS EARLY DAY SETTLER AT BROADBENT
Wife and Seven Children Survive -- 
Funeral Monday Attended by Many Friends and Relatives
After an illness of about a year, his latter days 
being full of suffering, James David Hayes died 
Friday evening at his home on Sixth street, heart 
disease being the dause of death.  The body was 
removed to the Schroeder funeral chapel where the 
funeral was held at 2 o'clock Monday, attended by 
a large concourse of friends of this pioneer family.  
Elder Tommy Barklow, a life-long friend of the 
deceased, spoke the last comforting words to the 
bereaved and burial was in Norway cemetery.  Elder 
Barklow pointed out that Mr. Hayes was not a member 
of any church or secret order, but that he was a 
believer in every thing that was good and as proof 
of this he said Mr. Hayes had read the Bible through 
twelve times and was well posted at to its teachings.
James David Hayes was born in Jackson (sic) county, 
Tennessee, November 29, 1856 (sic) being 71 years, 
2 months and 11 days old.  At the age of 16 he came 
with his parents to Oregon, stopping in Camas valley 
for a short time, then on to Coos county in 1872.  
Stopping at the Carmen place on Rolling (sic) prairie, 
they looked around for a suitable place for a home, 
finally locating in the North Carolina settlement 
on the Coquille river near Broadbent.  Here they 
hewed a homestead out of the forest and the subject 
of this sketch a few years later, when he was 
19 years of age, began the erection of a larger 
house, the material of which was split from logs, 
shaved and planed.  The building when finished was 
one of the finest in Coos county.  December 25, 1892 
Mr. Hayes was united in marriage with 
Miss Jessie Self and the couple went to housekeeping 
in a home of their own on Rolling prairie, where 
they continued to live until 1924, when they moved 
to their present home on Sixth street in Myrtle Point.  
To the union seven children were born, three boys 
and four girls.  All were here at the funeral Monday 
excepting the youngest daughter, who lives in 
Louisiana.  The children are:  Mrs. Frank Neal. 
Everett Dale Hayes, Miss Susie Irene Hayes, Thomas 
Clayton Hayes, and James Kermit Hayes, all of Myrtle 
Point; Mrs. Juanita Marie Bartlett of Corcoran, Calif.,
and Mrs. J. F. Ball of Louisiana.  There are six 
brothers, all living and three sisters, all living 
in the vicinity.  They are Mrs. Calvin Gant, Mrs. 
Ben Gant and Mrs. Mary Hartley.

In all of Mr. Hayes intense suffering, it is said 
of him that he never complained.
