A 1905 Grand Trunk Railway System pass, 3.75 x 2.25, issued to Mr. G. B. Owen, the assistant to the general manager of Erie Rail Road, bearing the printed signature of Titanic passenger and victim of the sinking, Charles Melville Hays. In the 1912 Hays was the president of the GTR and was returning home to Canada as a first class passenger on board the Titanic. In fine condition. Hays drowned in the disaster, but the Minia recovered his body on April 26. “It was no trouble to identify him as he had a lot of papers on him and a watch with his name on it,” sailor Francis Dyke wrote to his mother. His coffin was brought back to Montreal for burial aboard his private railway car, Canada. The car is still preserved and on display at the Canadian Railway Museum near Delson, Quebec.
