Nathaniel Hayes

He moved to Kansas City Missouri after discharged where he married and worked hard at providing a good life for his wife and children.

Nathaniel had several jobs in his lifetime but the one he enjoyed most was with the United States Postal Service in the Motor Vehicle Department. He served as a union representative, and this allowed him and his family the privilege to travel all over the United States. He really enjoyed representing those in the union and defended everyone with the same vigor whether wrong or right. He would spend long evenings “pecking” with one finger at his typewriter unless someone offered to type for him…. which of course he readily accepted.

Nathaniel loved music and dancing (as he thought he was a great dancer). He would get up on the weekend put on James Brown and “camel walk” as he made breakfast for everyone. He liked to fish, hunt, play cards and spend time with his family and friends.

Nathaniel was member of Palestine Missionary Baptist Church and attended regularly until he was no longer able to drive.
