On the 29th March, 1859, by U. S. Hayden, Esq., Col. JAMES P. GOODALL, of Yreka, Cal., to Miss MARY J. JOHNSON, of Jackson County, Oregon.Weekly Oregonian, Portland, April 23, 1859, page 2 RETURNED.--We are glad to see the genial face of U. S. Hayden, Esq., once more in our midst. He returned on Thursday evening from San Francisco--where he had been for some weeks past on business--looking all the better for a slight tinge of sunburn which pervades his countenance. RECOVERING.--We are gratified to learn that our friend, U. S. Hayden, Esq., is recovering from a severe attack of rheumatism, which has confined him to his room for some time. The express office looks unnatural without the genial presence of the 'Squire. Democratic Times, Jacksonville, September 30, 1871, page 3 Hayden got up and bucked furiously at the mode in which Dowell was attempting to force his delegates on the [Jackson County Republican] Convention--didn't want any sich newfangled notions in his, and after an excited speech, moved to reconsider the motion to adopt the report. Dowell replied to Hayden, whereupon the latter gentleman waxed intensely wroth, and went for Dowell. He didn't want things crowded through in this manner; he wouldn't be dictated to by anybody; he didn't want any stocking; everybody had a right to vote; intimated that the meeting was called to order before the time; said he had no personal objection to the ticket, but had an objection to the way it was gotten up; it looked as if somebody had concocted a ticket, and wanted to dictate; he didn't want any dictation. . . . Kilgore, Dowell, Hayden and Stanley all tried to bring order out of chaos, but only succeeded in making "confusion worse confounded." "Let Us Have Peace," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, March 9, 1872, page 2 THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.--The Express Office and Cobbler Shop Ring pile curses mountain high on Dowell's venerable wig, because he flaxed them out last Saturday, but he don't mind worth a cuss. He sits like a victorious general on the field of battle, and grimly counts the corpses of his slain enemies. There he beholds the cute and wily Beekman, dead as a mackerel; close beside him, the Political Cobbler, having at last seen the end of awl things, waxes cold in death. In life these two were united, and in death were not divided. In the vicinity the venerable but irascible Hayden, the mathematical definition of a straight line, length without breadth or thickness, lays with his "back to the field and his face to the foe." Near where the huge bulk of Mike Hanley cumbers the ground is seen the slender form and effeminate countenance of Prof. Robb. But a little distance off is John Bilger, whose last sigh was encumbered with a vigorous, elaborately turned, nine-cornered, German oath at his bad luck, and nearby is seen the diminutive corpse of Jimmy Wilson, wrapped in the last sleep of innocence. But while there is all this sweetness in Dowell's cup, there are some drops of bitterness. Some of his true and trusty champions have bitten the dust, and the briny drops, as big as turnips, roll from his overflowing eyes, as he sees that stalwart warrior, Smith, prone upon the earth, the silvery tongue of Kilgore stilled by the inexorable hand of death, and the toes of the No. 16 brogans of the intellectual and philosophical Kelly turned up to the zenith. Let General Dowell console himself, however, as other warriors have, for his list of casualties is less than that of his enemies. Democratic Times, Jacksonville, March 9, 1872, page 2 This paragraph refers to events at the Jackson County Republican convention. The "cobbler" is Nathaniel Langell, then operating a boot and shoe shop in Jacksonville. Butterfield & Co., of California, passed through Jacksonville last week with a large band of Angora goats, bound for the State Fair. U. S. Hayden invested in five head of the animals, which is quite an accession to the blooded stock of Jackson County. "Oregon Items," Sacramento Daily Union, September 14, 1872, page 8 G. W. Mace, of this place, has gone to California for the purpose of purchasing a number of Angora goats. He has already, in connection with 'Squire Hayden, a small band. "Local Brevities," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, April 4, 1874, page 3 We are pleased to see that U. S. Hayden, Esq., has so far recovered from his recent illness as to be about again. "Local Brevities," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, August 16, 1876, page 3 Squire Hayden has been quite indisposed during the week, but is now much improved. "Personal Notes," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, January 24, 1878, page 3 NEW ENTERPRISE.--Another mining enterprise, which promises to be quite important, is under way. The company which proposes to conduct it is composed of C. C. Beekman, U. S. Hayden, Wm. Bybee, W. M. Turner and others. The gravel bed lies on Rogue River, a few miles from Wilderville, in Josephine County, and it is proposed to run a ditch taking the water from Slate Creek. This ditch will be about fifteen miles long, but plenty of dump and an inexhaustible supply of ground seems to be assured. A party consisting of J. S. Howard, Wm. M. Turner, Chas. Schultz and others, fully equipped, started for that section this week, intending to make a survey of the proposed ditch and take general observations. It is to be hoped that this enterprise will meet with a full measure of success. Democratic Times, Jacksonville, November 15, 1878, page 3 Beekman, Hayden & Co. will thoroughly prospect their diggings situated on the banks of Rogue River, in Josephine County, and Joe Clough and J. C. Overbeck have gone to commence the work. "Mining Notes," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, January 24, 1879, page 3 SERIOUSLY ILL.--We regret to announce that U. S. Hayden, Esq., an old and respected citizen of this place, is lying seriously ill with pleuro-pneumonia and is not expected to survive long. Democratic Times, Jacksonville, January 31, 1879, page 3 GATHERED TO HIS FATHERS.
Again the
sickle of Death has thinned the social circle of this community.
Neither the tender shoot, nor the blossoming stalk has been cut down;
but a ripened ear, bending to the blast and ready for the harvest, has
been gathered safely into the garner reared by the hand of the
Omniscient.
On last Friday, at 2:30 A.M., Uriah S. Hayden, one of Oregon's early pioneers, departed from among us to test the problem of the Great Unknown. He was ailing but a single week before his decease with pleuropneumonia, which from the first assumed a type that left little hope for his recovery. Mr. Hayden's residence in the state dates back to the fall of 1850, when he settled in the Willamette Valley and located a donation claim in Marion County. The fame of the gold fields of Southern Oregon attracted his attention, and in 1852 he forsook his pastoral avocation and came hither to try his fortune in the mines. Tiring of a miner's life, in 1857 he engaged in clerical duties, for which he was well qualified, first accepting a position in the store of Kenney & Hamlin, then doing business in Jacksonville. In these pursuits he continued until the time of his death, having retained the position of confidential clerk in C. C. Beekman's banking establishment for twenty years. As his means increased he invested in mining grounds and in mercantile interests with trusted friends, but continued to devote his personal attention to the duties of the post he had chosen, and, at the time of his death, he was possessed of an independent competence. During his residence here he held important public positions, the requirements of which he fulfilled with scrupulous honor and fidelity. He was chosen "alcalde" for this mining district before Jacksonville had attained sufficient importance to entitle it to the distinction of a town. At the time of his death he was Recorder of this municipality, in which capacity he officiated for fifteen years. Mr. Hayden was a native of Connecticut, which state he left at an early age. He had traveled extensively and possessed a mind stored with useful knowledge and powers of conversation, which rendered him an agreeable companion. In his religious convictions he was a believer in the forms and doctrines of the Episcopal Church, and his funeral was conducted in accordance with the impressive rites of his faith, administered by Rev. M. A. Williams. His remains were interred in the Jacksonville Cemetery on Sunday last, whither they were followed by a procession seldom equaled in numbers in the history of this county. The pallbearers were L. J. C. Duncan, Peter Britt, Silas J. Day, J. B. Wrisley, M. Hanley and Thos. F. Beall, all members of the Southern Oregon Pioneer Association, of which deceased was secretary. T. G. Reames, K. Kubli, N. Langell, J. Nunan and David Linn, members of the [Jacksonville] Board of Trustees, with which Mr. Hayden had long been identified, attended the hearse. The last sad rites have been performed and the place that so lately knew the honored dead shall know him no more forever, but the memory of his noble qualities of mind and heart will linger long with those who knew him best. Democratic Times, Jacksonville, February 7, 1879, page 2 C. C. Beekman has appointed John A. Boyer to fill the position in the express office made vacant by the death of U. S. Hayden.
