Obituary Jacob H. Hayes Dec. 26, 1906 to Oct. 30, 1990
EULOGY
We celebrate today the Ciristian Burial for JACOB H. HAYES who passed into eternal life on Oct. 30, 1990, at the age of 83 years and 11 months. Jacob is deeply mourned by his wife, Mildred, his daughter, Janet, and her husband, Bill, and Jacob's granddaughters, Ferris and Madrean. He is also mourned by his wife's aunt, Myrtle Westmeyer, as well as a host of friends, co-workers, neighbors and relatives.
Jacob was born to Sallie Ann and Isaac Hayes on the farm and pond that later belonged to Arthur Schnebelt. Jacob's father built the pond. The Hayes family were some of the earliest settlers in the Northwest Territory, coming here from Pennsylvania by flatboat in 1791 with other Revolutionary War veterans. Jacob was the youngest of six siblings: Irene Daley, Corinne Boyd Hayes, Marie Ritzmann, George Hayes, and Laura Boyd. His death marked the passing of an era.
Jacob's parents were staunch Methodists and were instrumental in starting the Homestead Methodist Church to serve the poorer neighbors in the Hardintown community. The church building still stands on Bellview Drive but the congregation now worships at the new Tanner Valley Methodist Church. Jake passed the old church almost daily on his way to his favorite "Fifties" Restaurant.
For Jake, who grew up on the farm, that eventually became the subdivision that he and Mildred moved back to just a few short months ago, the land that belonged to his ancestors held a special meeting - Jake always went back to the land.
He simply could not stay away from farming, having worked a full day the night he suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage, the complications of which led to his expiration 10 hours later.
Jake was a Mason, whose order is based on the link between religion and work. Last night there was a beautiful ceremony by the Masons and I could not help but be impressed with how Jake's religion was tied up in his philosophy of work. Jake did not have to work - he wanted to work. Some people work to live; Jake lived to work. He enjoyed working and working hard and well. He worked 25 years for Schenley Industries, and on the side he ran his laundromart, car wash and several apartment buildings with the devoted help and support of his wife, business partner and friend, Mildred Carpenter Hayes. Jake made work fun and his co-workers and daughter and granddaughter, Ferris, will testify that jake was fun to be around when he was working.
He was so full of practical, logical information. He was a practical genius - very inventive. If he needed a part for machinery, he would either repair it, rebuild it or invent it. Jake was very intelligent and attended Franklin College in engineering but came home to farm before earning his degree. In fact, he was still learning on the job the day before his death. He was absolutely self-sufficient. He simply didn't believe there was anything he couldn't do. Recently, he boasted to one of his friends that he learned to drive a bulldozer when he was 65, to run a combime when he was close to 85, and he was wondering what he would be driving at 100.
Despite Jake's seemingly inexhaustible energy and drive, he took time to smell the roses of life. For a good 10 years, he would have lunch with his friends at the Fifties Restaurant not far from his beloved farm. One of the waitresses there described Jake as "one heck of a man. He was like a part of our family - a cut-up." She wanted to come to the visitation but decided that she wanted to remember him just the way he was when he came into the restaurant.
Jake was comfortably well off but he never lorded it over anyone. He was a friend of the rich and poor alike. He was of English-Scottish-Irish background and without fail, he would always leave a tip of 25 cents for the waitresses at Fifties. It was a standing joke between them and Jake. But every Christmas he would bring a large box of Russell Stover candy for the staff. He was a very kind man and this was especially evident with his own family.
Jake loved his family and his family heritage. It was as if he was pulled like a magnet to his beloved farm, there in the solitude to remember his revolutionary war ancestors and to commune with the rich heritage of the past, including the joys of childhood, either ice-skating or swimming in the old Schnebelt pond that his dad had built. Jake knew the land, knew it well enough to run all over the hills around the Perfect North Slopes all night with good friends, running the dogs and hunting coon, only to be back at work the next day without fail.
His love of family extended to that of his wife, whose father Harry Carpenter, he invited to live with them when Mr. Carpenter was widowed. Jake and Harry enjoyed a very close relationship, working together on the farm. And when Mildred's Aunt Myrtle Westmeyer lost her husband, Jake asked her to move in with them, and she has been a close part of the family ever since.
When his daughter, Janet, gave birth to Madrean in Bloomington, Indiana, Jake showed up out of nowhere at the hospital. But Janet who had learned much from her Dad, doesn't let any grass grow under her feet either. Eight hours after giving birth, she had already gone home! When Jake finally tracked her down, he spent several hours reading to the new baby's older sister, Ferris, meeting a real need at a time when Ferris needed some special attention from a very special grandfather. Grandpa kept a special horse just for Ferris and it was his delight to intoduce her to the joy of the land he so loved.
Many people consider success as having what you want. Jake was different. He wanted what he had. He cherished the land of his forefathers. He cherished his family. He appreciated his friends and co-workers. He wanted to work and was able to work until the very last. He was able to keep the farm, to remain active and to work it. Janet has shared with me that when she was very young, she would corner her Dad, perhaps when riding in the truck out to the farm, and would play a "What if" game - "What if you had a million dollars, Daddy - would you buy a farm or ranch out West?" Jake would answer, "You can't daydream. You have to base your life on reality."
All of life hinges on what is really real. What was real for Jake was accomplishing hard work well, family, honesty, love, friendship. When he had open heart surgery at the age of 82 in February 1988, there was a great fear that what was really real for Jake would have to give way to a kind of reality that was not really living, a reality filled with frailty, bedpans, pain and just sitting or lying down. Jake would have none ot it and bounced back from that surgery to continue to do what he loved, what was really real for him.
With his practical wisdom, he insisted that the family move from Rising Sun closer to the farm to a smaller house without so many steps. And in just a jiffy the family was moved to within just a few hundred yards from where Jake's life began. And Jake's life was completed, full circle, with his family provided and taken care of. Jake's life was so vital, like an inner stream of water constantly flowing. You adjusted your pace to his or else he would simply flow around you. Some would say that the inner stream has suddenly stopped. Others would say that it simply has entered into the land, out of sight, but watering all around it, steady and eternal.
One thing, I know - that life beyond death is a gift from God who created us all unique and precious, who redeemed us at such terrible cost to Himself, and who has promised us life beyond death, if we will trust Him enough to live life over death. And so we release our loved one from sight, thankful for his precious life and his precious legacy to us, with the words of Robert Louis Stevenson's REQUIEM:
"Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me die,
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill."
Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, relative, friend is home safe and we are grateful.
Eulogy delivered by the Rev. Mr. John Beaty of the Rising Sun United Methodist Church and composed with the assistance of Janet Hayes Bintz.
