Joseph Hayden, a progressive farmer of Lima township, Pepin county,
was born in Austria in 1855, son of Michael and Racey (Trucka)
Hayden. The parents, natives of Austria, came to the United States in
June, 1872, locating in this township, where the father developed a
good farm. Joseph was sixteen years old when he came to America. He
had but very limited educational opportunities, but what he lacks in
learning he has made up for by industry. In his youth he worked for
five years in a sawmill at Eau Galle and then bought his present farm
of 160 acres on which he has since resided. He also owns another farm
of 126 acres in the vicinity and raises horses, cattle and other
stock, doing a very successful business. His farm in section 6 is one
of the best in the township, having excellent modern buildings and a
full equipment of tools and implements, to which condition he has
himself developed it. He is a member of the Catholic church at Lima
and is independent in politics. Mr. Hayden was united in marriage in
1887 with Mary Jungwirth. Her mother died when Mary was 12 years old,
and her father subsequently marrying again, came to the United States
and was an early settler in Pepin county. Mr. and Mrs. Hayden are the
parents of seven children: Agnes, Lucy, and August, who are
unmarried, reside at home; Hannah, who married Ignatiz Weber, lives
in Lima township; John, who married Mary Bauer, is a resident of
Albany township; Floron, who married Racy Brunner; and Leo, who
married Clara Weissinger, are also residents of Albany township.
