DIED:
After a brave struggle against disease covering a period of several weeks William P. Hayes, manager of the New Park Hotel at Great Falls, Montana, died on Monday evening, May 15th, at Columbia Hospital, where he had been for a week following an operation which it had been hoped might prove effective in eradicating his trouble.
William P. Hayes was 53 years of age and was born in this city where he spent his boyhood days. About thirty years ago he went with his parents to Minnesota where he spent a few years on a farm. In 1883 he went to St. Paul where he spent several years, during which time he gained notoriety as a hotel man. When still a very young man he secured a position with the Windsor House, then the leading hostelry of St. Paul. For 15 years he was with this hotel.
When the Windsor hotel was closed out to be torn down that the new St. Paul might be erected he went as manager of the chief hotel at Minnetonka, where he remained two years till December, 1909, when he accepted the position of manager at the New Park hotel at Great Falls. He continued in that position until a week ago, when his illness forced him to go to the hospital for treatment.
He is survived by a devoted and loving wife who was at his side during his suffering and death.
His remains were brought to this city for burial. - Two Rivers Chronicle
