Bozeman, Oct. 11.-- J. F. Hayden, a Montana pioneer of Madison county, and who is father of Mrs. George Lyon of this city, died at his ranch home near Bozeman last evening. He was taken sick at the supper table and died about an hour later, presumably from a stroke of apoplexy. He was about 75 years old.

The people of Madison valley were greatly shocked to hear of the death of John F. Hayden of Bozeman, which occurred October 11. Mr. Hayden was a resident of Madison valley for many years, coming here about 1871 and residing here continuously until a few years ago when he removed to Bozeman. He was by birth a Pennsylvanian, born August 4, 1838, at George Creek, Fayette county, son of Jacob and Ruth Hayden. Mr. Hayden was married January 5, 1859, to Caroline Hume. To this union was born five children, Eliza J., Lola Adeline who died in infancy; Sarah Elizabeth, James J. and George W. The four who are still living are Eliza Lyon of Bozeman, Sarah Elizabeth Oswald of Henry's Lake, Idaho, James and George of Jeffers. Mrs. Hayden died February 5, 1901, and Mr. Hayden was married again to Lulu Richardson of Bozeman on October 5, 1916. Mr. Hayden was laid to rest in Bozeman on Saturday, October 14.

'History of Montana,' 1885, Michael A. Leeson, page 1270 (excerpt):

"J. F. Hayden, P. O. Ennis. When our subject was but twelve years old he worked by the month through the county (Fayette, PA) and at home, attending school in the winter, until past eighteen years of age. Then he came to Henry Co., Ia., intending to learn the carpenter trade of a friend with whom he went to Iowa. Hard times, however, prevented his friend from getting work and Mr. Hayden had to seek other employment, so he took a place on a farm until in the spring of 1859, when he went to Macon Co., Mo., and there pursued the same vocation. In the spring of 1863 he returned to Iowa, and in 1864 he crossed the plains with oxen to Montana, arriving at Alder Gulch about the middle of August, and immediately commenced mining. Since then he mined and farmed, and for a time kept a hotel on the Ruby, until 1871, when he located in Madison valley on his present home of 160 acres, and here carries on a general farming and stock-growing business. In company with another man he operates a threshing machine. Mr. Hayden was a member of the Grange, and has been road supervisor."
