Rock Springs Miner, Jun 30, 1957
MRS. JOSEPH M. HAY
As it has many times in recent weeks, death struck again Wednesday in the ranks of the city's old-time residents to claim Mrs. Joseph M. Hay, 86, who had lived in Rock Springs 57 years.
She died at the Hay home at 410 B street where she had been critically ill for two weeks.
Coming to Rock Springs in 1900 with the late Mr. Hay, the couple became active and successful in the ranching and sheep business, operating their interests on the Sweetwater in the north country which still are in possession of the family.
For many years, when she was a younger woman, Mrs. Hay was active in the civic and social affairs of the community. As a young woman she became a member of the Methodist church but in Rock Springs she attended and worked in the Congregational church.
Mrs. Hay was born Rachel Ardery, daughter of Ezra and Eleanor Ryan Ardery, Feb. 22, 1871 in Fairfield, Ill., where she grew to womanhood and where she was united in marriage to Joseph Milton Hay Aug. 28, 1889. Not too long after their marriage they went to California where they lived before coming to Rock Springs.
Survivors are one son and two daughters, four grandchildren, four great-granddaughters, one sister, who came to Rock Springs when advised of her critical illness. Mr. Hay died here April 16, 1930.
The funeral was held from First Congregational church Friday afternoon with the concluding service in the Hay family plot in Mountain View cemetery. The Rev. David Rose of First Congregational church conducted the church and commitment services.
Members of Mrs. Hay's family and members of the family of the late John W. Hay served as pallbearers.
