Died:
Bosman was shot down by jayhawkers or renegade troops while defending his home during the Civil War.
"Raids of farmhouses were occurring in broad daylight and people were shot if they tried to defend their property. Bosman Hayes and Napoleon Franchbois were murdered and Charles Derosier, Sylvain Sonnier and Joseph B. Young had their homes burned."
On the Banks of Plaquemine Brulee, by Gene Thibodeaux, Churchpoint, LA. (c) 1999, p. 51.
One of the largest landowners in the neighborhood was Bosman Hayes Jr., who was killed by outlaws in 1864. According to family tradition, Bosman Hayes Jr. owned a white mare which he would let nobody else ride. One night he heard a disturbance at the stable where the mare was kept. He got his shotgun and went to investigate. The night was clear and moonlit after a rainy day. Clothes had been left on a clothesline to dry. He saw two men leading his mare away. Hayes shot one of the men. The other was hidden by a bed sheet on a line. He shot Hayes and killed him on his own back porch.
