They have ten children, most of whom are grown up and now doing for themselves. They are widely scattered, one living in Michigan, two in South Dakota and others at different pointe in Indiana, except two of the younger, who are at home. John and Leonard and one daughter 'are still in this county. Mr. Hayes served a little over three years in the war of the rebellion and now draws a medium pension. He sold his Barkley tp. farm to his son, W. F. Hayes of Mt Summit. Ind., a year or , more ago, who bought it simply to get his parents to quit farming, and will not move

upon -it himself. Mr. Hayes is now 65 years of age, and having raised up a big family of children, all of whom are a credit to their parents and most of whom he has given a good education, he with his good wife will spend the remainder of their days in a little less strenuous life than that Of farming, taking a well earned rest. The Democrat dislikes to see MA and Mrs. Hayes ‘leave Jasper county, but hopes their lot may be cast in pleasant places wherever they may decide to locate.
