Obituary -

Mrs. I. D. Hayden died at her home in this village Tuesday, June 14, 1910 at 1:45 in the afternoon, of a stroke of paralysis, aged 76 years, 4 months, and 2 days.

For the past year Mrs. Hayden has been in poor health and the stroke of paralysis was no doubt but the culmination of her depleted health. Last Thursday morning she arose not feeling as well as usual and was compelled to return to her bed. The paralysis did not manifest itself, however, until Friday afternoon. Though it was realized that her condition was critical, the hopes were held out that there was a chance for partial recovery. The noon of the day of her death, she was able to drink a glass of buttermilk and no one realized that the end was so near.

Deborah Beecham Hayden was born in Northeast Parish, Northumberland County, New Brunswick on February 12, 1834 and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beecham.

The family came to Wisconsin the fall of 1845 locating in the town of Bristol. They spent their first winter in Wisconsin in a cabin on the shores of Brazee's Lake, known commonly as the "old lake."

Mrs. Hayden's first schooling was had that winter in the old log schoolhouse, which stood just south of the railroad track on the road to Marshall. The following year the family moved into their new log house on the Beecham farm west of the village.

Here Miss Beecham lived, teaching school in Cottage Grove, Windsor and surrounding towns until her marriage on November 11, 1856 to Isaac Crury Hayden, who with her three sons, Julian, Ware, and Charles, survive to cherish her memory.

Besides the members of her family she also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Ella DeLaMatyr of Los Angeles, CA, Mrs. Maria Watkinson, who spent the winter with Mrs. Hayden and Mrs. Amelia Bayha of Gardena, CA; also two brothers, R. K. Beecham of Everett, WA and William Henry Beecham of Clear Water, NE.

At her death Mrs. Hayden was the earliest living resident of Sun Prairie, having lived in this community continuously for near 65 years. She was not only numbered among the first ladies of Sun Prairie but also among the best. She was a woman in whom was embodied the true characteristics of a wife and mother; she possessed the taste of an artist, was a lover of the beautiful in nature, and her influence in the home and the community was always for good.

Specimens of her needlework and her work with the brush in the possession of her children and friends are mute testimonials to her refined nature and will ever be cherished as such.

The funeral services were held at her home this afternoon at four o'clock, Rev. O. W. Stark officiating. The interment was in the family lot in the village cemetery.
