Mother is gone, her suffering is o'er.
She waits for us now on the golden shore;
She has gone to meet our brothers so dear,
And father and sisters and friends so near.
And she has bidden us all to meet her there,
Where sorrow and heart-aches and despair
No more can sadden us or oppress.
For Jesus, our Savior, is there to bless.
He has a home for each one of us,
And in His word he tells of it thus:
In My Father's house are mansions fair
Prepared for all who seek entrance there.
Oh, come to Me; thy sins are forgiven.
Eternal life is for thee in Heaven.
Then let us cast on Him our cares
For He will listen to all our prayers.
Dear mother is waiting for us to come,
And father will greet us up in that home:
Our brothers and sisters all will be there;
Dear Savior, please take us beneath Thy care
And guide and direct us through paths of earth
And cleanse us, dear Lord, with the holy birth.
Oh, help us be faithful to every trust,
And lay up our treasure where it can not rust.
Oh, help us be useful while here on earth.
And let every action establish our worth.
By helping of others our stars let us win,
By guiding our footsteps from pathways of sin.
And when Thou the summoning angel shalt send,
Help us and comfort us e'en to the end,
And bear us away on Thy bosom of love,
To mansions eternal in Heaven above.

A companion came upon him a few minutes after he evidently had been
thrown.. He was carried into a farm house and died soon afterward from
concussion of the brain.

Stricken while hunting, William G. Hays, 58 years old, former
postmaster, died while hunting near Robinson, Ill., yesterday. Hays,
who for many years was prominent in local republican party politics,

Three hunting companions found Hays yesterday afternoon dead on the ground. They were hunting about 10 miles northwest of Robinson, Ill. Hays companions were Curtis Neese, Wiley Greenleaf and Hugh C. Robbins, all of Terre Haute. They started looking for Hays when he failed to return to the car to return to Terre Haute.
During prohibition, Hays was federal enforcement officer for this area and conducted many raids upon bootlegging places. He was appointed postmaster by Calvin Coolidge, serving in that office from 1926 until 1931. Recently he operated a liquor store at 324 Ohio street.
Hays is survived by the widow, Margaret, and a son, William "Mont" Hays, a retired city fireman.
