WILLIAM H. HYDE.

    Mr. Hyde is well known in Southern Colorado as a manufacturer of wagons and
dealer in agricultural implements. He was born in Joliet, Ill., in 1839, where
he was raised and early learned the trade of blacksmith and wagon-maker. In
1857, he went to California and worked at his trade, until the breaking-out of
the war in 1861, when he enlisted in the First California Volunteer Infantry
afterward serving through Arizona and New Mexico, until December, 1863. He then
quit the army, having served his time, and located at Denver, Colo., resuming
his trade. In 1866, he went to Golden, Colo., and remained there until 1868,
when he again returned to Denver. He located at Pueblo in November, 1870, and
opened a blacksmith and wagon shop. Since then he has erected large and
capacious buildings which he now occupies. He was elected Mayor of Pueblo in
April, 1879, and was re-elected in I860, his second term of office expiring
April, 1881. He was married, in Pueblo, December 1, 1871, to Miss Laura S. Loy.
Mr. Hyde has succeeded well in the West, and is now doing an extensive business,
dealing in farming implements of ail kinds, and manufacturing wagons for a large
custom throughout Southern Colorado. His business is constantly increasing, and
has become an important factor in the growing interests of Pueblo.
