Capt. John Shelton Hays died at the home of his niece, Mrs. John B. Foster, Sunday morning, aged nearly 70. He had become perfectly helpless and his death was caused by a general giving away of the vital forces. Capt. Hays was the second son of Hugh Hays, who in his day was one of the richest men in Lincoln county. He was a brother-in-law of Mr. John M. Reid with whom he made his home until recently. Some 18 months ago he professed religion and united with the Presbyterian church and those who talked with him are sure that he was an accepted child of God. His death was peaceful and among his last words were: "The Lord will take care of me." After a service at the Presbyterian church yesterday by Rev. Ben Helm, the remains were interred in Buffalo Cemetery.
