NEWSPAPER CLIPPING: [handwritten: May 16, 1908] "Illness of a Few Hours Fatal to John Hayes" Subhead: Wealthy Citizen of Washington Dies From Attack of Heart Trouble -- Estate is Estimated at Sixty Thousand Dollars
John B. Hayes, one of the best-known retired farmer citizens of Washington, died shortly after 7 o'clock in the morning, the fatal illness being of only a few hours duration. His death came suddenly, being a severe shock to the family and to Washington citizens nearly all of whom were acquainted with Mr. Hayes. He had been failing somewhat the last few weeks but appeared to be in usual health when he retired Friday night. About midnight he suffered an attack of neuralgia of the heart and a physician was called. He became quiet in a short time and again retired. When he arose in the morning he felt a disturbance of the stomach and attempted to vomit. An attack of heart trouble resulted and death followed in a few minutes. He was dying when a physician arrived at the home. Mr Hayes had been a resident of Washington nearly twenty years. He was wealthy, owning valuable lands in Daviess and Knox counties. His estate is valued at $60,000. Mr. Hayes was born in Vincennes January 14, 1838. He married Sarah Campbell September 6, 1866. She died September 20, 1893. In 1886 Mr. Hayes moved to his farm across the river from Maysville in Knox county. Three years later he moved to Washington and for years lived on Campbell Avenue. Since the death of his wife, his children have kept house for him. Mr. Hayes leaves six children, four daughters and two sons. The children are: The Misses Sarah and Ada Hayes at home, William Hayes, Mrs. John Morgan, John Hayes of Davenport, Iowa, and Mrs. E.K. Hertford of Charleston, West Virginia. One brother, William M. Hayes, and a sister, Mrs. Alice Brett, also survive. Although of a rather distant nature Mr Hayes was well liked by those who came in close contact with him. Especially he was liked by his neighbors and the children of the community in which he lived. He was a capable business man. Although the funeral arrangements have not been made, the burial likely will be Tuesday.

After rounding out a long and useful life John Hayes passed away at 7 o'clock Saturday morning at his home on the south side. His death came as a shock as he was seen on the streets Friday. As word passed around of his death there were hundreds of words of sincere sorrow. Few men in Washington... [illegible line]... man got up Saturday morning he was at once attacked again and in a few minutes lost conciousness. The physician again was summoned. Everything possible was done to revive him but of no avail. Death came in a few minutes after the arrival of the physician. The patient never regained conciousness. Mr. Hayes was a retired farmer and since moving to this city has spent his time in attending to his farms. He was successful in life and gleaned a comfortable fortune from the tilling of the soil. He was born in Vincennes January 14, 1838, where he lived with his parents until he reached his majority. He was married September 6, 1866, to Miss Sarah Campbell of this city. She died September 20, 1893, leaving him with a family to care for. Two sons and four daughters are left. They are Will Hayes, of this city, John Hayes of Davenport, Iowa, Mrs. John Morgan of Indianapolis, Mrs. E. K. Hertford of Charleston, W. Va., and Miss Sarah and Miss Adah Hayes of this city. Mr. Hayes was proud of his home and family and his first thought of his daily life was of them. The Hayes home on Campbell avenue is one of the prettiest in the city and most of his time the last few years was spent there. After the death of his wife the daughters took charge of the home and to them he devoted most of his life. Among the many who mourn his death and who feel heaviest the bereavement are the children of the neighborhood of the Hayes home. With these the deceased man was their favorite and he took pleasure in their company. He was known in the neighborhood as a lover of children... [illegible line]... was quick to appreciate a favor as well as to granting a favor when a friend applied for it. Mr. Hayes was a democrat in politics, although he never took an active part other than to exercise his right to franchise and to the end of seeing the best man placed in office. He would not have accepted a public office perhaps as he did not care to desert his domestic life for the uncertain qualities of the life of a public officer. The deceased man was a devout member of St. Simon's catholic church of this city. he made of religion a practical helper and was never found wanting in attending to his duties as a church member. With his death St. Simon's has lost one of its [illegible word] members and religion one of its most devout supporters. Mr. Hayes' chief pride was his family, and it may be said that his life was crowned with the knowledge that his purpose was realized in the rearing of a family every member of which is held in high esteem by the community in which they live. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Complete arrangements will not be made until members of the family who live at a distance arrive. In all possibilities the funeral will be held Tuesday morning from St. Simon's church with burial in St. John's cemetery.

Note: Neither of these obituaries mentions his brief (six months) military service during the Civil War. He mustered in on 30 Sept 1861 into the 4th Battery, Indiana Light Artillery and was discharged 18 Mar 1862.
