After an illness with sciatic rheumatism and lagrippe, extending over a period of five months, United States Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Clement Dodge Hayden passed away at the family residence, 347 Bluff street, at 12:50 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Hayden was the son of the late Capt. and Mrs. Mortimer Hayden, and was born December 18, 1855, in this city on the present site of the house in which he passed away. He received his early education at the old First Ward school and on reaching his majority became one of the most active and popular young business men in the city. He held positions of trust with the Iowa Building and Loan Association and at the post office. For the past ten years he held the position of deputy United States internal revenue collector and was active in every project for the welfare of the city. November 9, 1887, he was elected quartermaster of the second brigade of the Iowa National Guard, in which capacity he served for a number of years and was for several years captain of the Governor's Greys.

November 27, 1888, he was united in marriage at Galena, Illinois, to Miss Florence Mahoney, of that city. He was a prominent member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and of the Woodmen and was an earnest worker in every project for the upbuilding of the Catholic church, of which he was a faithful member. His family consists of his wife and nine children, the eldest of whom is Mortimer, aged 17, and the youngest an infant of five months. Besides his wife and children he is survived by one brother, Mortimer, of Nottaway, Va and one sister, Mrs. A. A. Hyer, of Chicago.
