For the first time in many years Scott county will be represented in the senate by a republican. Hon. W. C. Hayward was born in Cattaraugus county, N. Y., in November, 1847, and in 1861 came west with his parents to Minnesota. In 1864, with a prairie schooner outfit, he came with his father to Iowa, settling first in Hancock county, afterwards in Winnebago. About eleven years ago Mr. Hayward moved to Davenport, his present home. He was given a start in an educational way by his father, who was his instructor until he was 16 years old, from which time he attended school winters till he was 21, when he entered the State Agricultural college, where he remained till the middle of his junior year. On leaving college he was elected county surveyor of Winnebago county, and the same fall he united with another young gentleman in the editing of the Winnebago Press. He was afterward editor and proprietor of the Hancock Signal, and there secured the appointment of postmaster, which he resigned after nearly twelve years' service. Last spring Mr. Hayward was elected a member of the school board of the independent district of Davenport, a position that is non-partisan in a political way, and given invariably to some worthy and competent citizen of Davenport. As president of the Davenport National bank, president of the Union Savings bank, of which he was one of the organizers, secretary of the Riverside Milling company, president of a gold mining company now drilling in a Colorado mountain, secretary and treasurer of a Dakota land company, Mr. Hayward is a busy man, and enters the senate well informed, through his business environments, of matters in general. He has been a farmer, a land surveyor, editor, clerk, merchant, dealer in grain, railroad builder, banker. He was married at the age of 24 to Delia M. Draper. They have three boys, aged 23, 19 and 14. Mrs. Hayward is very prominent in Davenport philanthropic and social life. Mr. Hayward belongs to the Masons, including the Commandery and Mystic Shrine. He is a non-church member, though a liberal supporter through his wife.
