Mrs. Hays had been attending meeting of Missionary society at United Presbyterian church and he had brought load of produce to town. On way home and about opposite Sweeney residence on Holiday Street, stooped over and adjusted bag of produce at their feet. Then bent over as though about to set brake of wagon, but remained in that position so long, his wife became alarmed and took him in her arms. Gave no signs of consciousness and she laid him in back of wagon. Neighbors answered calls and carried him into Sweeney residence. Dr. Frank McCarthy called.... Apoplexy probably cause of death.
