General Notes: Husband - James H. Hays
His early life, like that of many successful business men, was one of close application, self-reliance, and self-denial. He taught school and worked at the cooper's bench until he reached his twenty-eighth year, when he embarked in the coal trade, becoming the pioneer in that industry. With the details of the coal trade he made himself rapidly and thoroughly familiar. Accurate knowledge, an enterprising disposition, and a quick mercantile apprehension enabled him to extend his operations with the best results, until, at the time of' his death, his was the most extensive capital employed in the business, and the estate he left one of the wealthiest in Allegheny County.
