Thomas Edmonds Hayward is the oldest resident of Pittsford, and on Monday, April 27th, turned the ninety-third mile stone of his life. Many persons look older at seventy-five years of age than does Mr. Hayward now. He is wonderfully well preserved, both mentally and physically, a fine conversationalist, erect, without the slightest stoop to his shoulders, and always has a ruddy glow on his cheeks, that tends to give him a particularly youthful look.
Mr. Hayward was born in Leicester, Mass., in 1810, and was the youngest of six children of Annie and John Hayward, five of whom were boys. The eldest child was Rebecca, who married Rutherford Rogers and resided many years in Pittsford. The family was noted for longevity. His mother lived to be eighty-four years of age, and her mother attained the age of ninety-six years and six months. The grandmother on his father's side, would have been one hundred years old, had she lived six months longer; and his sister, Mrs. Rebecca Rogers, was ninety-seven when she died.
When five years of age, Mr. Hayward saw the British soldiers in their march from Albany to Boston, and in 1825, saw Lafayette at Leicester. In 1830, accompanied by his sister, he left his native town and took stage for Albany, and from there came on a packet by way of the Erie canal, to Pittsford, where he has since resided. While en route they saw the building of the railroad between Albany and Schenectady. In 1855, Mr. Hayward purchased the summer residence of the late Dr. Carver on Croton street, where he continues to reside. In 1858 he was united in marriage with Miss Abigail Wilmarth, whom he survives. He has always been actively engaged in business pursuits, was a nurseryman and perhaps the best informed grower of fruits in this locality. A fine peach orchard has been his especial pride, and now he has a large prune orchard in this village, located on the Main street, that attracts much attention and perhaps yields a larger income than many farms. Many years ago he held the position of county superintendent of schools, was a justice of the peace and also held other town and village offices.
