  WILLIAM T. HAY, a member of the firm of Hay Brothers, plumbers, doing business 
at No. 146 West Long avenue, DuBois, Pa., was born on Lost Creek, Schuylkill 
county, Pa., August 25, 1871, and is a son of William E. and Anna (Dunsten) Hay.
  William E. Hay came to DuBois from Pottsville, Pa., in 1882 and carried on a 
plumbing business in this borough for many years.  He married Anna Dunsten and 
they had eight children, namely:  Millie, who is the wife of Frank Guinsburg; 
Bertha S., who is the wife of Charles H. Hill; William T.; Isaac D., who is a 
member of the plumbing firm of Hay Brothers; Restore B.; Strange P.; Anna, who 
is the wife of Theodore E. Vosburg; and Hazel, who is the wife of Harry S. Hall.
  Before coming to DuBois with his parents in 1882, William T. Hay had lived for 
a short time in Kansas.  He began to help his father in the latter's plumbing 
shop when quite young and thus learned every detail of the business.  In 1897, 
in partnership with his brother, Isaac D. Hay, he embarked in the plumbing 
business and a very substantial enterprise has resulted, this firm taking the 
lead in their line at DuBois.
  On September 6, 1899, Mr. Hay was married to Miss Matilda M. Moore, and they 
have three children:  Arthur Cole, Howard Robert and Raymond Thomas.  Mr. Hay 
and family reside at No. 16 S. Jared street.  In politics he is a Republican.
