Ervin Hayes

1842 - 1871  (29 years)

• Name	Ervin Hayes
  Birth	1842	Elizabethtown, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada
  Gender	Male
  Death	21 May 1871	Elkland Township, Tuscola County, Michigan
  Burial	Elkland Township Cemetery, Cass City, Tuscola County, Michigan
  Notes	It appears that due he died without a Will, and while his children were still very young. The 1870 census, one year prior to his death, showed he had but one young child at home, "Clara" (Cora). However, it is known that Cora had at at least two siblings, a brother Allan C. Hayes, as well as being survived in 1949 by a sister, "Mrs. C.P. Miller." It is possible that her mother remarried and her sister, and possibly others, were born to this second marriage. It appears that the Ervin Hayes estate was not settled until 1925, more than fifty years after his death, based on the following notice found in the May 8, 1925 Cass City Chronicle, in the Notice and Publication section on page 7. Determination of Heirs Estate of Ervin Hayes, Dec'd Guy G. Hill, Judge of Probate In the matter of the Estate of Ervin Hayes, Deceased, Allan C. Hayes filed petition praying for the court to adjudicated legal heirs of said deceased at the time of death, and therefore entitled to inherit real estate. Date set for 18 May 1925. It is known that Cora and Allan are siblings, based on the following brief item, also in the Cass City Chronicle, on May 27, 1933, "Local Happenings," page four: Mrs. C.D. Striffler and son, Stanley Striffler, were entertained at the home of the former's brother, Allan Hayes, in Port Huron Sunday.
