HAYWARD, of Raymond, Clark county, comes of old colonial stock, of English origin, and is himself a native of the old Pine Tree state, having been born in Winthrop, Kennebec county, Maine, on the 4th of August, 1858. He completed the curriculum of the public schools of his native town and thereafter continued there his studies in Towle Academy, while later he attended the well-known and ably- conducted academy at Monmouth, Maine. At the age of sixteen years he engaged in teaching, continuing to follow the pedagogic profession in Maine until he came to the west, while later he took up his abode in Raymond, South Dakota, with whose development and progress he has been intimately identified, while he has built up an excellent business as a dealer in real estate, personally owning twelve hundred acres of improved farming land in Clark county, while he retains the confidence and good will of all with whom he has come in contact in either a business or social way and is one of the popular and public-spirited citizens of his county and town. In politics he is a staunch advocate of the principles and policies of the Republican party and fraternally is identified with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Hayward was married to Miss Alice Armitage, who was born in Pennsylvania.
