He had been ill four weeks. His last visit to Traer was five weeks ago. He was a man of extraordinary vitality and never experienced a serious illness until after he was 90 years old. Mr. Hayes was born May 11, 1836 at Rathkeale, county Limerick, Ireland and was reared to manhood there. He was married April 11, 1861, at the place of his birth to Margaret Fraily. The couple came to America immediately after their marriage locating at Rockford, Illinois. In February 1869, they came to north Tama county settling in Buckingham township, Mr. Hayes' home for sixty years. His good wife died twenty-two years ago. He is the last member of his family. Mr. Hayes bought his first farm in Buckingham, eighty acres, from Dr. Daniel, for $10 per acre, making a small down payment, some land at that time selling as low as $6.50. In an interview published in the Star Clipper a year ago, Mr. Hayes recalled the time when he sold corn for 13 cents, wheat for 37 cents, oats 11 cents per bushel for the service of a threshing outfit during wheat harvest and help cost $3.50 per day. Seed wheat cost $1 per bushel and he had to pay ten percent interest when he borrowed money. In early days he sold steers for $3.25 per cwt. in Waterloo. Mr. Hayes was noted for his generosity, hospitality, keen wit, and jovial nature. Few men in Tama county could boast of so many warm friends. He was a member of Blessing church from the time of its organization. There are five living children — Mrs. T. B. Cummings and John Hayes, of Buckingham; Tom, Forest City, Iowa; Edward and Margaret at home. There are twenty grandchildren and twenty-five great grandchildren. The funeral is to be at Blessing church at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. Burial will be in the Blessing cemetery.
