When Seasons Change The Story of Millus and Emma Hayes

About the Book

The Hayes family, one of the most well-known families in Arlington, Tennessee, is vividly portrayed in my family history. The book recounts the life of my grandparents Millus and Emma Hayes. My family’s lineage has spanned five generations, beginning with my mother. Regardless of where our lives transport us geographically, we should always remember our ancestors and our roots. As a tree grows through the changing seasons, similarly, new generations evolve. Knowing our heritage and keeping our ancestors foremost in our minds and hearts enable us to cherish their memories and pass them on to future generations “when seasons change.”
