    90 Years Today. MRS. DELILAH HAYES. Mrs. Delilah Hayes oldest resident of Cool Spring community is today celebrating her 90th birthday. Mrs. Hayes continues to live a full life despite an illness last spring which tended to limit her activities. As Delilah Lilian Zachery, she was born at Scarborough, Montgomery County, N.C., February 12, 1856, the fifth child in a family of ten children. She attended school at Edinburgh Academy, three miles from her home, walking the distance morning and afternoon. Of these same school days she is able to relate interesting tales. She joined Zion Methodist church in Montgomery County in early life and one of her chief delights through the years since has been to have ministers of the gospel visit her home. Her first marriage was to James Washington Andrews of Montgomery County. With him she lived on a large cotton plantation in Richmond county, N.C. A few years later he became Postmaster at Laurinburg in the same county and moved his family there. Four children were born of this union - two died in infancy. After the death of her husband in 1889 she returned to her childhood home with her small son John and eight-year old daughter. With remarkable bravery she bore the burden of widowhood and the rearing of her children, for these were years of few opportunities for women who needed to earn a livelihood. Death claimed her son at six years of age. Soon after the little boy's death she and Ethel came to Iredell county to visit a sister, Mrs. E T Lazenby who lived near Cool Spring. This however proved to be more than a visit. They remained six years as members of the family. In 1898 she married Wilfred Columbus Hayes and was a faithful helpmeet and step-mother to his large family of motherless children. After Mr. Hayes death she lived with her daughter and son-in-law W.M. and Ethel Jacks residents of Rose Chapel Community. While living there she suffered a keen loss in the death of a little grandson. Always cheerful and interested in people she talked little of her own troubles. In 1935 she moved with the Jacks family to Cool Spring where she is the oldest member of the Cool Spring Methodist church. The Bible, the N.C. Christian Advocate, The Upper Room, Home Quarterly>
