DIED-

Squire James Hayes-

At his home in Richland Township, Sunday morning, October 6, 1889, of paralysis, Squire Jas. Hayes, aged 57 years. The death of this highly respected citizen of our county was sudden and without warning. His health was generally good up to the very hour of his death. He was born in England and settled in Jackson County in 1854. His counsel and wisdom has always had a marked influence in the conduct of affairs in his township and also in the county at large, and he will be greatly missed by his friends and associates. He has for years held the office of Justice, Township Clerk, and a membership in the School Board of Richland. He was industrious and prosperous and to a bereaved wife and children leaves a fine farm. The funeral occurred Tuesday.
