Mrs. Henry G. Hay died at about 7 o'clock last night. Mr. Hay, Miss Mildred Hay. Dr. Barber, Hon. J.A. Johnston and the nurse were with her when the end came. Death was apparently entirely free from pain and the lady was conscious until the last. Mrs. Hay was informed by Dr. Barber yesterday morning that her death was rapidly approaching. She expressed her gratification that her husband and daughter were with her and sorrow that her son, Harry, was absent. She gave such directions as she desired and informed the doctor and her husband where some valuable papers might be found. Several times during her illness she was in spiritual consultation with Rev. George C. Rafter, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, to which she belonged. She was fully prepared for death and feared it not.
During the early part of her last illness Mrs. Hay suffered greatly, but yesterday all pain disappeared. The greatest trouble experienced by the invalid was shortness of breath caused by the congestion of the lungs. Mr. Hay, Mildred and Dr. Barber were with her constantly during the last twenty-four hours of her life. Shortly before 7 o'clock last evening they went down stairs to partake of some food, leaving Hon. J.A. Johnston and the nurse with Mrs. Hay. A moment or two after they left the room the sufferer essayed to rise. She sat on the side of the bed a moment and the expression upon her face prompted Mr. Johnston to call Mr. Hay. As her husband entered the room she made an effort to speak to him, but could not. She was apparently strong but could utter no word.
The physician and Miss Mildred had followed Mr. Hay to the sick room. A moment after they entered the invalid fell backward on the bed and expired instantly. Death, although expected had come very suddenly and the shock to those present was great indeed.
The funeral will take place from St. Mark's church at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev. Dr. Rafter will officiate. The remains will be laid at rest in the city cemetery.
Harry Hay will reach the city from the east at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. He was informed of the death of his mother while on his way home from Ann Arbor. A sister of Mrs. Hay, Mrs. E.E. Abrams of Chicago, will be unable to come to the funeral on account of her own illness.
Mrs. Hay was a native of Illinois, and was about 48 years old at the time of her death. Her father, Dr. J.S. Bullock, was a prominent physician of La Salle county, that state. While visiting Mrs. F.E. Warren here in 1873, Miss Bullock met Mr. Hay. In November, 1874, just twenty-one years ago, they were united in marriage. They resided in this city constantly since. The success with which Mr. Hay has met both in business and political life was largely due to the kind and loving assistance of the lady who presided over his household.
None were more tender hearted than she, and the remembrance of her many acts of kindness and charity will live for many years to come. No one high or low, was permitted to suffer where she could relieve. Her loss will be universally mourned. To her bereaved family the community extend heartfelt sympathy.
Mrs. May left a will disposing of the property held in her own right. This will be examined and probated later, probably some time next week.
