HAYES, Mrs. Amy Elizabeth was born February 20, 1842, and died December 4, 1919. She was the daughter of Adonijah and Katherine Burdick Muncy, being the seventh of eight children, four sons and four daughters all born in Lincklaen. When she was about eight years old the family movedd to DeRuyter, where she attended school at the DeRuyter Institute. On October 27, 1867, she was married to Ory J. Hayes, also of DeRuyter. Two them were born two children. Willie, who died at the age of three and one-half years, and Minnie, now Mrs. R. W. Wing. At the age of fourteen, about the latter part of January she was baptized by Rev. James R. Irish, and joined the DeRuyter Seventh Day Baptist Church, of which she remained a worthy, consistent, hopeful member till her death. Since the death of her husband in 1901 the loving companionship of the mother and daughter has been very marked and the pleasant memories of the untiring self-sacrificing care given the one who so fully appreciated those kind attentions, are now a comfort to the bereaved daughter. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. J. Howland who spoke most thoughtfully from the words, "She hath done what she could." He was assisted in the services by Rev. L. D. Burdick. She was laid to rest beside her husband beneath a beautiful covering of floral offerins. E .C .B.
