In memory of ADAM HAYS, who departed this life on March 20, 1953. We, the members of the Lewis Fork United Baptist Church, wish to extend to the bereaved family and loved ones our heartfelt sympathy, commending them to the loving Father above, who is too wise to err. Our loss of this beloved brother and the deacon of our church is deeply felt, whose presence in our church was always an inspiration and whose life will be a guiding light to us left behind, and that in his death our church has lost a faithful and esteemed member, one whose advice and counsel was ever for the good of the church. He was the son of James and Matilda McDaniel Hays. He had one sister, Mrs. J. W. Duke of Hindman, Kentucky, who preceded him in death July 1952. He is survived by one brother, Lewis Hays, Sr., of Jackson and Noble, Kentucky, who is the only one of his immediate family living. Brother Adam married Adna Allen, daughter of A. A. "Smokey" Allen. To this union were born 14 children, four of whom precedeed Brother Hays. He has nine children living, 32 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. We feel our loss too great for words to express, but we know God does all things well.  |
