NEWTON L. HAILEY DEAD

For nearly one half a century he had resided in our county, been active, energetic and progressive citizen sympathetic with his fellow man in his sorrows, trials and tribulations and when the worthy person needed succor he gave his money. In sickness he was kind and clever. He had a good heart that beat responsive to the welfare of his neighbors. He loved his family and always was delighted to learn the success of his sons, daughters and grandchildren. In his earlier life, he had acknowledged his belief in the one, true and living God and in his last hours, he proclaimed his continued belief in the Christ that died that we might live and passed away as if only going to sleep, without a struggle. He enjoyed the confidence of all his acquaintances, as being a man of the highest integrity and was strictly honest.

Newton Lafayette Hailey was born in Bedford County, Tenn., Sept. 11, 1848, and was a son of late Benjamin F. and Mrs. Ophelia (Gates) Hailey. The parents moved to Texas in 1850. In 1855, they moved to Berryville, Carroll County, Ark., where Newton L. grew to manhood. When the Civil War came on, he joined the Southern Army when 16 years of age and came out without a scratch. He and Miss Nancy McKinney, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McKinney old, well known and high esteemed early settlers of the county on Rock House Creek, near where Hailey p. o., is now located, who were temporarily living at Berryville, during the war were married and to this union, nine children were born, seven living, four sons and three daughters, who are: Wm. W. of Hailey, Frank H., of Oklahoma, Mrs. Flossie Thelle of Peirce City, Mrs. Zua Newman of Mt. Vernon, Sterling V., of near Mineralspring, Chas. P., of Marbuette, Michigan and Mrs. Electa Mitchell of Cassville. All his children and many of his grandchildren were with him during his sickness and death, excepting his son Frank, who could not be located. Mrs. Hailey survives her husband.

He moved from Berryville, Ark., to Barry county and located near his father-in-law, Wm. McKinney where Hailey p. o., is now located, in 1872 where he successfully farmed and raised stock. In 1878, he was nominated by the democrats of Barry County for county assessor and was selected. He was re-nominated in 1880. In 1886 his party nominated him for sheriff and he was elected and reelected in 1888, and in his official life, made an efficient officer. He was Postmaster at Hailey post office for twelve years.

He moved to Cassville to assume his duties as Sheriff in 1887, and continued his residence in this city to his death. He was always alive to the best interests of this city and county and had good words for his town, county and people, when inquiring people were desirous of knowledge of this section.

He died at his home in this city, Monday morning, May 31, 1920, at 1:30 a. m., of kidney trouble, and uremic poison, age 71 years, 8 months and 20 days.

He left four brothers who are: Allen of Cato, Wm., of near Ash Grove, Fonny and J. D. of Berryville, Ark., who were with him during his sickness.

Rev.'s C. F. Rose, pastor of the Christian Church of this city and J. S. McQueen of Wheaton, conducted funeral services at the Hailey home, Tuesday, at 2 p.m., after which the Mason took charge of the remains and gave them Masonic interment in Oak Hill Cemetery.

We will miss Nute Hailey in Cassville and Barry county, in his cordial greetings and peculiar sayings, that always produced laughter. He always concealed his good qualities and the gruff part was on the exterior.

Many beautiful flowers were sent to the home as a token of love, respect and sweet memory for Nute.

The business houses of Cassville, closed during the funeral services, as a token of esteem and respect for our fellow citizen.

Many citizens of different places in the county, attended the funeral, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held.
