The grandfather of our subject likewise bore the name of Adam Hay. He came forewith from New York to Stark Co., Ohio, and purchased a tract of land in Osnaburg Twp. Here he passed the remainder of his life, passing away in April 1868(Adam) at the age of 71 years. Peter Hay was reared on the old homestead farm and he continued his residence in the township until his death. Shortly after his marriage he came into possession of 162 acres of the homestead farm, which originally comprised 206 acres, the remaining 44 acres which had been allotted to his sister, thus making the area of his landed estate 394 acres. He was a thoroughly progressive and scientific farmer, and was very successful in his efforts, having developed one of the fine farm properties of the county. In politics he gave his support to the Democratic party from the time of attaining his legal majority, while his religious faith was that of the Reformed Church, of which he and his wife were devoted members, while he held various official positions in the church. He was a man of sterling character, true and loyal in all the relations of life, and he held the unqualified confidence and esteem of all who knew him. His death occurred on the 17th day of September, 1901 and the community mourned the loss of one of its most valued and honored citizens.
His grand daughter, Alice, said that he was a land farmer and smoked a corn cob pipe.
