Note	Obituary (probably Gallipolis Daily Tribune) Mr. William Clendenin Hayward, whose critical condition of health was mentioned last week. departed this life Sunday evening, March 7, 1912. The funeral services will be conducted at his late residence on 3d avenue above State street, by Hugh Evans, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, Wednesday afternoon, at one o'clock, the interment following at Mound Hill cemetery under the auspices of I.O.O.F. Mr. Hayward was the son of the late Solomon Hayward and his wife Catherine Tillaye Hayward, and was born in this city. September 3, 1835. He had an elder brother, Charles, who was killed by accident, and sisters, Mrs. Geo. Stevenson, Mrs. W. H. Andrews, Mrs. W. S. Newton and Mrs. Emily Jeffries. He was the last of his father's family. He was united in marriage with Miss Irene Neal, daughter of Henry H. Neal, the miller, April 23, 1860. They became the parents of one child, the present Undertaker William N. Hayward. His father who was a direct descendant of those who landed on Plymouth Rock, being the son of Thos. Hayward [CF note: this is incorrect], came to Gallipolis when 15 years of age and lived with General Tupper and learned the cabinet and furniture making business with him and drifted naturally into the coffin making business. He took his son William C. into the business as a partner in 1853 under the firm name of Hayward & Son. His father died September 14, 1882, in his 92d year and his mother died March 24, 1868, aged 71 years. After the death of his father he succeeded him in the business and continued it alone, until in 1883, he took his son Will N. Hayward into partnership with him resuming the firm name of Hayward & Son. So it will be seen that Hayward and Hayward & Son have been a constant and continued firm in the city for several generations. William, the subject of this sketch was very enterprising in business, and on the site of Solomon Hayward's modest cabinet shop at the corner of State and 3d, he erected one of the most imposing business structures in the city for a furniture store and undertaking establishment, planned and especially adapted tothe business. Mr. Hayward also had a lovely and hospitable home. He delighted in fine horses for his undertaking business and for his own purposes and kept up to date in all branches of the business. he delighted in county fairs and stock exhibitions. He was accounted one of the best horsemen and judges of stock in Southern Ohio. He was a neat and stylish dresser and always looked well groomed in person. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, one of the charter members of the Odd Fellows Lodge and had an extensive and very wide aquaintance over the county. There is probably no business man now living in Gallipolis who had a wider circle of friends, or the news of whose death will be received with more regret. He has never been exactly right in health since the horse fell upon him three years ago and broke his leg. The shock came near killing him at the time. He got along fairly well, however, up to about three weeks ago, when his condition became worse and a week ago he took to his bed, and a form of apoplexy carried him off painlessly and quickly when the end came. He was such a familiar form on our streets for so many years, that it is hard to realize that his career is ended. He was so well preserved and good humored and dispositioned that he will be missed in all circles and his family have the sincere sympathy of all in their bereavement.
