Mrs.
Herbert L. Selby yesterday received word of the sudden death of her
stepmother, Mrs. Aletia Bealton Hayes, formerly of Simcoe.
Deceased was 91
years of age, and had never had a serious illness in her long life
until she suffered a stroke, dying earlier yesterday.
Her husband was
the late Dr. James Hayes of Simcoe, and following his death in the
early years of this century, she lived in Simcoe for some time, later
removing to her old home city Buffalo.
She was the
mother of two daughters, Emily, who was drowned in young womanhood,
and Nora, Mrs. Smith, of Buffalo.
Mrs. Hayes' body
will be brought to Simcoe in the spring and buried in the family plot
in Oakwood.
