JOE HAY
Funeral services for Joe Hay (Jim Wing), 62, popular Dallas cafe proprietor, will be at 3 p. m. Tuesday at Ed C. Smith & Bro. Funeral Chapel, with burial in Grove Hill Cemetery.
Hay, known to thousands of Dallas residents as one who never turned away a hungry man, died Sunday night in his apartment above his restaurant at 1501 Commerce. He is survived by his wife in Hongkong and by nine sons and two daughters.
Two sons, Joe King Hay and Eugene Joe Hay, are in Dallas where they have been associated in business with their father for several years. Joe King Hay, the eldest son, is a former student of the University of Southern California. One son, Joe Shiu Kee Hay, lives in San Francisco. Six sons and two daughters are in China.
Hay came to Dallas in 1888 and opened the city's first Chinese restaurant at Main and Lamar. He soon became prosperous and established two other restaurants. His gifts to charitable causes were large and he made many friends by feeding penniless people who went to him for help.
Born in San Francisco, Hay made a visit to China some years ago, leaving his Dallas interests in the hands of relatives. He went to China again in 1923, remaining until 1930. During part of this time he was in the employ of the Chinese secret service. When he came back to Dallas four years ago, he established the present Jim Wing restaurant.
Hay was a Baptist and a Mason of many years' standing.
