General Notes: Husband - John R. Hayden

---

He received his education both at the common and private schools of his native county. His active career was commenced as a farmer and brick manufacturer, but later he became a coal operator, which branch of business he followed from 1882 to 1892. During the last named year he was elected poor director of Westmoreland County and succeeded himself, holding the office five terms or ten years. It was in 1903 that he removed to the fifth ward in the borough of Greensburg, where he erected one and purchased two good residences on Alexander street. The principal business with which he was connected at that time, was that of a large foundry at Hunkert, he being the president of the Greensburg Wheel and Supply Company.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensburg, belonged to the Masonic fraternity, and was advanced to the high degree of Knights Templarship. Politically he was a supporter of the Democratic party.
