Anthony Judson Hayward - Sawyer County Historical Society & Museum - Hayward, WI, USA |
 | | Anthony Judson Hayward was born in the city of Pittsburgh, on the 17th of March, in the year 1835, and because of the age of his mother (who was a woman of great activity and determination, and from whom he inherited these excellent qualities) he was adopted into the McCord family. |
 | | Hayward took up a pre-emption timber claim, which was somewhat similar to our stone and timber claims now, inasmuch as it required residence, but there was nothing to pay for them, whereas for the timber claims now we have to pay $2.50 per acre. |
 | | Hayward worked for himself and in the spring we was elected treasurer of the new town of Shawno, which office he held for two successive terms, and gave good satisfaction. |
