From the Hayes Family Origin, History & Genealogy
"b. March 5, 1831, m. Josephine Lucas in 1857. Major Hayes, son of Enoch and Sarah Stevens Hayes, was very fond of horses. When he entered the army he took with him a beautiful white and well-trained horse, on which he was riding when mortally wounded. His last request was that his horse, guns and sword be sent home. His remains were sent home and an outdoor funeral was held at the home of his brother, Moses Hayes, near the Ohio and Indiana State line. This white horse bearing his empty saddle, guns and sword, and draped with the American Flag, followed the hearse in the funeral cortege of more than 1,000 persons, to the Guard Cemetery where his remains were laid to rest. His sword and gun were given to Charles S Hayes, of Dayton, Ohio, his nephew, with the request that they be finally given to his son, Charles, a grand-nephew."
"Among the many braves who have fallen by the enemy during the present rebellion, there are few, if any, who were held in higher esteem by their subordinates than Major Charles S. Hayes. From the moment he entered the field until he rallied his battalion for the charge in which he lost his life, his command felt the most implicit faith in his courage, and were almost blindly willing to follow wherever he might lead, or to go whither he might command."
"The loss of such an officer is a public calamity and must cause, wherever these facts are known, the profoundest regret."
"Actions, when published, excite curiosity in regard to the person by whom they were accomplished; and the biography of a man becomes interesting when he deeds have been applauded."
"Major Hayes was born near Elizabethtown, in this State and county, in March, 1831, and his youth was spent upon the farm which he abandoned to enter the service of his country. He received no collegiate education, and was probably the better educated upon that account, having derived his knowledge from his observation and experience. He possessed naturally a clear, strong intellect and extraordinary perceptive faculties, which rendered him quick to comprehend and solve all difficulties which might present themselves."
"When Colonel William H. H. Taylor received authority to raise a cavalry regiment in this State-being familiar with Major Hayes and his character-he immediately offered him a position, which was at once accepted. Major Hayes filled his company rapidly and was among the first to march into Camp Dick Corwine, where the regiment was organized-his commission as Captain of Company D, 5th Ohio Volunteers Cavalry, dating August 27, 1861, from which he was promoted to Major on the organization of the regiment on the first of the following November, and immediately took command of the 3rd battalion."
"The regiment was ordered to the field in the latter part of February, 1862, and on the first of March, embarked in transports at Cincinnati for the Tennessee River. Fort Henry had been taken; Fort Donelson, with its fourteen thousand prisoners, had fallen into our hands, and the siege of Corinth had been determined upon for the spring campaign. For this purpose troops were being concentrated at Pittsburg Landing, as a base of operations, and in the duties consequent, the 5th Ohio Calvary seemed destined to take an important part."
"At Savannah, Tennessee, Major Hayes' battalion was detached from the regiment and made a part of the corps of Major General Charles H. Smith, whose death in the following month, cast a shadow of gloom over the country. At midnight on March 13, under orders from Major General Lew Wallace, the battalion disembarked at Crump's Landing, mounted and made the famous raid to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, near Purdy, for which it received the thanks of General Smith, then commanding the Army of Tennessee. He was shot and killed at Coldwater, Mississippi."
