ELIZABETH M. HAYES
SCHOOLMATE OF SENATOR WALSH DIES AT NOON
Miss Elizabeth Hayes, Pioneer Teacher of City, Dies After Illness of Year
A battle of a year against failing health which started when she suffered a
stroke was brought to a close here today for Miss Elizabeh Hayes, 77, pioneer
Two Rivers school teacher and one of the last known schoolmates of Senator
Thomas Walsh in this city. Death occurred at noon at the family home at 1414
Twenty-second street, Two Rivers.
Miss Hayes came to Two Rivers when a girl of five and after attending the
schools here took a teaching position at Cooperstown when but 16 years of age.
She taught there for two years and then taught in the grade and high schools
of the city of Two Rivers, leaving this city to accept a position in the schools
of Detroit, Becker county, Minnesota. Thirty-five years ago she gave up teaching
and 29 years ago returned to Two Rivers where she made her home continuously
since that time, devoting much of her attention to the Disabled Soldiers' Society
and to charitable organizations of the city.
Born in Lowell, Mass., on June 10, 1854, she was brought to Two Rivers by her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hayes, pioneers of the city, in 1859. Her father
preceded her in death 15 years ago while her mother died 13 years ago to leave
a sister, Miss Katherine and a brother, ex-Alderman Jack Hayes as her only
immediate survivors.
The body is in state at the Beduhn and Goetz mortuary and will remain there until
funeral services for the St. Lukes Catholic church Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
Father C.V. Hugo will officiate at the church and at the services to be held at
Pioneers's (sic) Rest cemetery where interment will take place.
