    Harmon Howard Hays, M. D., one of the skilled and beloved physicians and
surgeons of Hamilton county, is a man whose services are in such a demand that
he has remained in active practice some years longer than he originally
intended, and it is doubtful if his patients will agree to his retiring for a
much longer period. He was born in Covington, Ky., August 21, 1856, a son of
Samuel K. and Elizabeth (Smith) Hays. Samuel K. Hays was a carriage maker by
trade, and lived in Covington throughout his life. Doctor Hays received his
early education in the district schools of his native town and was graduated
from the Covington High School with the class of 1874. He then entered the
Ohio-Miami Medical College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1879,
with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. After completing his studies, he returned
to Covington, where he began his practice. After remaining there for some time
he went to Owen county, Kentucky, where he remained for nearly five years. After
returning to Covington, Ky., where he remained for some time, he went to Boone
county. Later he removed to Cleves, Ohio, where he has been engaged in general
practice ever since. Fraternally, Doctor Hays is a member of the Knights of
Pythias, and the Kentucky State Medical Association. He is also a member of the
Boone County Medical Society, the American Medical Association, and the
Cincinnati Academy of Medicine. His political convictions make him a Democrat,
but aside from giving the principles and candidates of his party, loyal support,
he has not cared to enter politics. He served on the exemption and examining
boards of Boone county, Kentucky, during the World war. In religious
affiliations, Doctor Hays is a member of the Episcopal church and is active in
all its affairs. Doctor Hays married (first) March 13, 1884, Miss Anna Wake
Holeman, a daughter of Alexander W. Holeman, of Louisville, Ky. To this union
were born two children: Wake Holeman and Harmon Howard, Jr., who served nearly
two years in the World war, with the Eighty-fourth division, and was in all of
the great battles. Mrs. Hays died, July 1, 1887. Dr. Hays married (second)
September 20, 1894, Miss Florence K. Graddy, of Bullitstown, Ky. Her death
occurred November 24, 1894. In concluding this review, it may be said, that
Doctor Hays is a scholarly man, devoted to his profession and abreast of the
advance of it, he is easily one of the foremost physicians of Hamilton county,
and gives added dignity to his calling by the way in which he lives up to his
lofty ethics.
