Description
"Aunt" Susan Hayden, one of Parkville's most highly respected colored women passed quietly away at her home on the evening of Jan. 15th, 1931. She had been troubled with asthma and indigestion the last few weeks, but had been attending to her usual home duties up until the day of her death, so her passing came as a shock to all. But a blessed thought comforts the living, because she was ready to go. We know she has read and studied her Bible daily for she was known as a good Christian woman, honest, upright, industrious, and ever ready to help anyone when called upon. She was born in Howard Co., Missouri, about 80 years ago (approximately 1850) and as Susan Reeves married Uncle Bob Hayden and they had lived thus nearly 50 years. She was a member of the colored Eastern Star Chapter of Parkville, and was buried by that order on Monday. Jan. 19th. She leaves her husband who is quite feeble, crippled since getting hurt several years ago while working in the timber; and one sister of Fayette, Missouri, besides a host of friends, and above all, a good name.Date(s) of Creation
