Newport's Oldest Patrolman
After several weeks of suffering with pains and aches, brought on
by old age, William Hayes, 70, one of the oldest policemen of Newport, passed
away Tuesday night at his home, 1113 John Street.
He served in the Police Department 25 years ago. He was known all over the city and when his serious illness was announced several days ago, his friends expressed their sympathy for him, for he was known for his many kind and charitable acts during life. The arrangements for the burial have not been made. He leaves a widow.
