DEATH OF THOMAS HAYES, Jan 13,1907
Nenagh Guardian
  
  On Tuesday morning Thomas Hayes, aged 40, labourer, was 
found in a stable at Bohernanave, Thurles, in a 
semi-unconscious and benumbed condition. When discovered he 
was huddled up in a corner of the stable, and appeared to be 
suffering intensely from exposure, as the night was bitterly 
cold. Mrs Smee, in whose outhouse he was sleeping, very 
kindly had him removed to her home, where every possible 
care and attention was administered to him. Seeing that he 
was sinking slowly, word was despatched to the police 
barracks, and the police had him immediately conveyed to the 
infirmary, but the unfortunate man never rallied, and died 
at an early hour on Wednesday morning. The deceased was a 
native of the town. It is feared that the unfortunate man 
sorely felt the great dearth of labour in the town, and it 
has transpired that he had been knocked out of work for a 
considerable time back. No inquest was held. It is surmised 
that the unfortunate man must have lain in the outhouse 
during the night.
