DR. HAYWARD'S REMAINS Brought to His New Orleans Home for Burial.
-------------
The remains of Dr. Harry Hayward were brought to this city from Mississippi City last night. The immediate relatives and family of the deceased accompanied the body. The train was scheduled to arrive shortly after 5 o'clock, but did not reach the city until after 8 o'clock. Quite a number of friends were at the depot on the arrival of the train. The body was first taken to Undertaker Johnson's and prepared for burial, then to the city home of the deceased, No. 1417 Annunciation Street, near Robin, where it was exposed during the night.

The esteem in which Dr. Hayward was held was attested by the army of friends that called to pay last respects. He was an earnest and sincere man, and to be reckoned his friend was to possess something man desires most of his fellow man. He was an energetic and constant man in his profession, and in every undertaking as well. Obtaining the appointment of assistant sanitary inspector, he did not regard the office as a gift, but sought the work pertinent to the appointment, and diligently applied himself to all of the requirements. Being a constant sufferer from the disease that had laid hold of him, he did not yield to it even until the forced energy was seriously attacked, and then he only went to the gulf coast to recuperate, meaning to be back to his duties as soon as possible.

When the smallpox broke out in the neighborhood of Franklin and Customhouse streets during the present year, Dr. Hayward was immediately to the front. His duty called him to the ugliest quarter of the city, but he did not fail. It meant days and nights of incessant work, and he was always ready. There were days during that siege that he went home and threw himself down exhausted, and then, after a little rest, he was out again. There was no call for his services when he became delinquent. He vaccinated, directed fumigation and sanitation, and went about his work until the last call was made. He did not know the meaning of the word shirk. It is a regret that such men should be called from the post of his duty.

The funeral will be had from the residence this morning at 11 o'clock.
