James Hayes, Native of Tennessee, Died Friday Following Long Illness
WAS EARLY DAY SETTLER AT BROADBENT
Wife and Seven Children Survive -- Funeral Monday Attended by many Friends and Relatives
After an illness of about a year, his latter days being full of suffering, James David Hayes died Friday evening at his house on Sixth street, heart disease being the cause of death. The body was removed to the Schroeder funeral chapel where the funeral was held at 2 o'clock Monday, attended by a large concourse of friends of this pioneer family. Elder Tommy Barklow, a life-long friend of the deceased, spoke the last comforting words to the bereaved and burial was in Norway cemetery. Elder Barklow pointed out that Mr. Hayes was not a member of any church or secret order, but that he was a believer in every thing that was good, and as proof of this he said Mr. Hayes had read the Bible through twelve times and was well posted as to its teachings.
James David Hayes was born in Jackson county, Tennessee, Nov. 29, 1856 being 71 years, 2 months and 11 days old. At the age of 16 he came with his parents to Oregon, stopping in Camas valley for a short time, then on to Coos county in 1872. Stopping at the Carmen place on Rolling prairie, they looked around for a suitable place for a home, finally locating in the North Carolina settlement on the Coquille river near Broadbent. Here they hewed a homestead out of the forest, and the subject of this sketch a few years later, when he was 19 years of age, began the erection of a larger house, the material of which was split from logs, shaved and planed. The building when finished was one of the finest in Coos county. December 25, 1892 Mr. Hayes was united in marriage with Miss Jessie Self and the couple went to housekeeping in a home of their own on Rolling prairie, where they continued to live until 1924, when they moved to their present home on Sixth streen in Myrtle Point. To the union seven children were born, three boys and four girls. All were here at the funeral Monday excepting the youngest daughter, who lives in Louisiana. The children are: Mrs. Frank Neal, Everett Dale Hayes, Miss Susie Irene Hayes, Thomas Clayton Hayes and James Kermit Hayes, all of Myrtle Point; Mrs. Juanita Marie Bartlett of Corcoran , Calif. and Mrs. J. F. Ball of Louisiana. There are six brothers all living, and three sisters all lving in this vicinity. They are Mrs. Calvin Gant, Mrs. Ben Gant and Mrs. Mary Hartley.
In all of Mr. Hayes intense suffering, it is said of him that he never complained.
