HAYS HISTORY
IN HURON
(By S. Johnston in Stratford
Beacon -Herald)
The name Hays, as it ap-
pears in the name ofthe vil-
lage of Haysville, and the name
Hays, as it appears in current
reports of magistrate's court
in ' Goderich, are the same
name, we learn from the latest
issue of Western Ontario .His-
toical Notes. The link is in
tl> a biography of Robert Hays,
JP, (17941874), who was a
pioneer four times over, first
in the United States, and then
los ,, II.'r,anwa ti «.R.�`� uC '1 .R.LY-.._.
Rarpurhey. Robert Hays was
a magistrate in McKillop Town
bout.:'
proximately for the period
1847.1$72, and his grandson,
Glenn Hays, QC, is now the
magistrate at Goderich, the
county town ofo the county
which includes McKillop.
-There are a few small points,
in„ the biography of Robert
Hays as it appears in the 1961
Historical . Notes, which . are at
variance with the biography
which was publisheild in .the
Belden Atlas of 1879. They
agree that Robert Hays was a
native of the North of Ireland,
but the 1879 history says his
birth -place was County Done-
gal, while the 1961 notes de-
scribe his birth -place as being
near Londonderry. Both things
may be true, because although
Londonderry, as its name im-
plies, is in County Derry, it is
only three miles from the
Derry -Donegal boundary.
The Belden history says that
Robert Hayas cause to McKil-
lop in. 1842, while the newly-
published biography says the
date of. this event was 1844.
The new biography has been
edited ,'by Magistrate Glenn
Hays, who may have had in-
formation 'WitItT#U- `;
° the old biography.
On the always -interesting
question of why the pioneer
was prompted to leave Irelati.d,.
and cross the Atlantic .to a
rough, new, and unknown
;coat try the Historical Notes
story offers a clear-cut answer
RPibert Hays came pioneering,
the biographer says, because
of taxes. He felt that taxes
were too much of a burden in
Ireland,.,.ai d was heady, ,t,e ,:run
theri'sks of t"he `£iann'ttic cgoss-
ing and the new 'start. to ,find
a place with lower taxes.
In the words of the Histor-
ical . Notes: "When about 24
years of age he married, and
his father dying about this
time, divided his farm between
his two sons, hence the subject
of tht emoir went to farm -
in mar'1ried, about the
same ante. He continued in
this occupation for about five
years during which time he
was streligly impressed with
the injustice of the tithe sys-
tein, and the oppressive tax-
ation which, 'burdened the peo-
ple. He told an old friend
that while working one day in
the field, he began to think
that surely there was• a freer
and better country somewhere,
where a poor man would not
be kept down by oppressive
taxation.» His resolution was,
taken. He threw down the
spade with which he. «as work-
ing, sold his . farm, and never
native country.”
At this point in his life,
Robert • Hays did something
which few men of age 2g
would have the courage to do.
He went back to school. He
had attended the ordinary
parish school, corresponding to
our public school, as a boy,
and would have had an edu a• -
tion roughly equivalent to -
tario Grade 8. As part of his
plan to emigrate from Ireland,
he went back to school, and
attended the Grammar School
of Letterkenny, in' northern
Donegal, for six months. Thp
results of this respect for
schooling showed rip repeated-
ly in his' life in McKillop,
wrought; another day ,in his where he became reeve, was re -

garded in' county council as aa
expert on' tax law And the or-
•ganizatfon -of schools, served
some years as township; treas-
urer, and for about a quarter
of a century as a justice of the
peace. The 'six months of in-
tensive study at Letterkenny;
as a 29,7year-old, farmer sitting
in, class with teen-agers, must
have been a difficult • period,
but paid big dividends;
° The story of his travels from
the time he left Ireland until
he arrived in Huiron County,
can be offered as evidence that
it is almost never too late to
make a fresh start. He was
some years in the ,United
States, where he worked as a
miller at Rochester, N.Y., and
got together enough money to
bring his wife and children
from Ireland, where he had
e Iv t In a . ea in
Rochester, so he came to Can-
ada in 1822, when- he -was---a
man of 38, and made a• new
start as a farmer, near Inger-
soll. After four years there he
moved to Waterloo County,
and founded the vfllage which
is named after him. He was
the first postmaster at Hays-
ville, when the post office was
opened here -in 1837.
Discou ragement- came again,
when a ff'ood✓on the River Nith
carried away his mill dam,
and ruined his milling busi-
ness. Robert Hays still had
the initiative,to make another
new start; and bought -200 acres
of land in I'fcKillop, where he'
spent 30, years making a suc-
cess or his fife, by any test
one might use to define suc-
cess. -
In 1874 his funeral proce
sion was three-quarters of- a
mile .in length, an°diwas said
to be the longest ever seen in
McKillop. His remains lie in
the burying ground at Harpur-
' hey, a nA le west of Seaforth.
