In Memory of Sister Rosa Hayes
It is with sadness that we attempt to write a few lines in memory of our friend, Rosa Hayes who departed this life April 5, 1919. She was born May 9, 1895. She professed faith in Christ at Willowdale Church September 18, 1916 and united with said church and was baptised into full membership of the church September 20 by Reverend M. A. Adams. She was married to Orris Hayes, February 25, 1917. Rosa lived a devoted christian life and always had a kind word and a smile for all she met. She was a kind and affectionate wife and leaves a husband, father, mother, one brother and four sisters and many relatives and friends to mourn his departure. There is a vacant chair at the fireside that can never again be filled. How very sad it is to think that we can never hear her voice again nor see her, yet we have the consolation that all was done for her that willing hands and loving hearts could suggest. Rosa was a good girl strictly moral and dutiful in the full sense of the term to her parents. She had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, among whom she was highly esteemed and those who knew her best loved her most. A good woman has gone from among us, another one of the faithful of earth has been called up higher, earth has lost a jewel and heaven has gained a star. Dear friends and kindred, let us ever follow Rosa's example and we will meet her where there will be no more farewells. The husband father and mother and relatives have our sympathy.
