HAYES: TOWN FIRST KNOWN AS DUGAS PASTURE
In the beginning Hayes was known as DUGAS PASTURE, or La Savanne des Duga s. It was named for Dugas, a cattle grazer from Andrus Cove, who discover ed this bountiful pasture land ideal for grazing his wild cattle. They cou ld be kept here without supervision because the area was bounded on the ea st by the Lacassine Bayou, on the north and west by swamp, and on the sou th by marsh.
Eloi Primeaux of Hayes, who?s done extensive research on this area says, t here is no recorded history on the Dugas family, except that they were Aca dians, migrating to Louisiana in about 1755, and settling at AndrusCove, t wo miles northeast of Lake Arthur. They had large herds of cattle.
Dugas did not want settlers to come into this area because they?d ruin h is good cattle and his pastureland. He managed to keep them off, until Tho mas Hayes came along. It is believed that Dugas may have died about that t ime.
Thomas Hayes? ancestor - William Hayes - came to Louisiana some times befo re 1784 from Halifax , PA, and settled in St. Landry parish. In 1832 Thom as Hayes moved into Dugas Pasture to become the first white settler ther e. He married Mary Ann Foreman, from Andrus Cove, and they settled near t he Lacassine Bayou.
Hayes' great-great granddaughter, Mrs. Tom Taylor of Lake Charles tel ls of a near tragedy the Hayes suffered shortly after moving to Dugas Past ure. "Thomas Hayes was gravely ill with typhoid fever. There were no neigh bors, and no doctors. Their child -Paren - was just a toddler.
"Mrs. Hayes knew she had to leave to get help for her critically ill husba nd, so she tied the young toddler to the bedstead, put out plenty of fo od and water for him, and left. Crossing the Lacassine Bayou in a pirogu e, she then used a horse to travel about tifteen miles through the isolate d, unsettled territory to the Andrus Cove Ferry on the Mermentau. James An drus took her to his home by flatboat. Then he got William Holland To ri de to Crowley To find a doctor .
Two days later the group got back to the Hayes home where they found Thom as Hayes still alive and recuperating from his battle with typhoid. The yo ung child - Paren - who'd been tied to the bedstead, was dirty, and crust y, and upset. But he was physically alright.
