The obituaries in the Thrall Index were published in the Middletown Times Herald Record. They are available on microfilm at the Thrall Library in Middletown. I'm planning a research trip there next Saturday and would be happy to lookup Harvey Hayes' obit and email it to you. Or you can send a request to to the library using the form at http://thrall.org/midref/ The staff is very helpful. Vivian Piper vnpiper@hvc.rr.com
