Fayette S. Hatch, Deputy County Treasurer of Kankakee County, and ex-County Ilk Superintendent of Schools, has been for many years a resident of Kankakee, his arrival here dating from 1866. His birth occurred in Chenango County, N. Y., in 1832. His father, Jethro Hatch, was born in Connecticut. The genealogy of the family is traced back to Thomas Hatch, whose name is identified with the early history of the New England Colonies. The paternal grandfather of our subject, whose Christian name was Timothy, removed to the Empire State when his son Jethro was but a child and was one of the pioneers of Chenango County, where he resided until his death, which occurred when he had attained to the advanced age of ninety-eight years. The father of our subject wedded Minerva Pierce, a native of the Green Mountain State, and in 1846 emigrated with his family to Kane County, Il1. He settled upon an unimproved farm in the township of Sugar Grove. He located on State land and was
one of the earliest of the pioneers of that county. There he lived until the country, which was then in a wild, uncultivated condition, was thickly settled, converted into fine farms and covered with pleasant and comfortable homes. Toward the close of his life he removed to Aurora, where he died when eighty-five years of age. His wife survived him only four years, passing away at the age of eighty-three.
When his parents removed from New York to Illinois, Fayette S. Hatch, whose name heads this sketch, was about fourteen years of age. He well remembers the pioneer days and experiences in Kane County. His earliest education was obtained in the district schools of his native and adopted States. Later he pursued a course of study at Beloit College, which was then and for many years afterward under the Presidency of Dr. Chapin. When between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two years, our subject taught a number of terms of schoo1. May 12,1864, he enlisted in the One Hundred and Forty-first Illinois Regiment and remained in the service until the regiment was discharged, October 20, 1864. He continued to reside in Kane County until 1866, when he came to Kankakee and engaged in the furniture business.
On the 3d of March, 1868, Mr. Hatch was united in marriage with Miss Teresa M. Peirce and by their union were born three children, two sons and a daughter. Mary S. is a teacher in the public schools of Kankakee; and the sons are Lawson W. and Austin L. Mr. Hatch was bereft of his wife by death on the 13th of August, 1892. She was a faithful wife and mother and left many friends to mourn her loss.
In the year 1886, Mr. Hatch was elected Superintendent of Schools of Kankakee County, and in that capacity proved an efficient and able officer during the succeeding four years. Since the expiration of his term as Superintendent he has been connected with the oflice of County Treasurer. In his political affiliations our subject is a stanch Republican. His first Presidential vote was cast for John C. Fremont in 1856, since which time he has never failed to deposit his ballot in favor of the Presidential candidate of his party. Mr. Hatch is prominent in Masonic circles, being a member of the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Commandery and Consistory, and has been for seven years District Deputy of the Sixteenth Masonic District. He is a popular citizen and his business and official careers have ever been attended with the strict integrity and honor by which he has won the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens.
