ADDED INFO FROM:
From: philr@leland.Stanford.EDU (Philip Ritter)
Thanks for notice of the obituary. It was helpful (Elmer Hayden would have been my father's third cousin). I had to study the obituary carefully before realizing it must have been in 1925 (based on the age of the deceased). It might be helpful to add this to the obituary since other interested people may not have Mrs. Elmer Hayden's birth date. My records show that according to the 1900 census, Mrs. Hayden was born May1859. She was the former Nancy Jane Smith and married Elmer Hayden in Kankakee Co., IL on 4 Dec 1878. I have Cora rather than Cors for the name of the daughter, although the latter could be a nickname.
I should also thank Nancy for the marriage notice for Henrietta Baughman⁄Paul Macy marriage. You may have noticed that I had submitted Henrietta's obituary earlier. This also adds information I didn't have. Henrietta and Elmer Hayden were 2nd cousins, both descendants of John Ritter (my ancestor) of Tuscarawas Co., OH.

FARM HOUSE FIRE
The fire department was called to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thuel Hayden last Saturday when their house was discovered to be on fire. Mr and Mrs Hayden had just started for town when they looked back and saw the house was on fire. They hurried back and with the help of neighbors soon had the fire out very little damage was done.
