Harry Hay's last couple of years were tragic. His wife, Bertha Jones Hay died the year before from an accident at work (see newspaper clip at bottom of this post.) Family tradition says that Harry Samuel Hay had Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS)-A nervous system disease that weakens muscles and impacts physical function. His obituary says that he was suffering from paralysis prior to his death, so it was possible that he did have ALS. |
