GEORGE HAYES

   One of the earliest pioneers of Yolo county, having been identified with the
development of that section for the past thirty-eight years, Mr. Hayes fully
merits the esteem and prosperity which he enjoys today, his name being
synonymous with courage and honor. A native of Illinois, he was born in October,
1855, near St. Louis, Mo., where he remained with his parents until he came to
Yolo county. Here he first engaged in farming, in connection with which he
successfully conducted a general wood business. Subsequently he was joined by
his father, a wheelwright by occupation.

   The marriage of Mr. Hayes united him with Miss Elizabeth Jones, and to their
union the following children were born: Leo George, who married Miss Ollie
Collett; Ollie, who is the wife of Carl Bicknell and the mother of two sons,
Melvin and Kenneth; Ora, who is now the wife of George Perry of Knights Landing
and who has one son, Norman; D. L., and Leland E.

   Mr. Hayes' holdings aggregate two hundred and eighty acres, fifty of which
are devoted to alfalfa, the remainder being in barley, which, in 1911, produced
thirteen sacks per acre. He is also the owner of eighteen head of stock, and
raises hogs for his own use. As a man of enterprise and exceptional business
ability, Mr. Hayes has aided materially in the progress of the section in which
he has so long resided and among his fellow citizens is regarded with warm
respect and admiration.
