WILLIAM D. HAYWOOD IS SON OF FORMER FAIRFIELD MAN... HAYWOOD senior came to Fairfield in the autumn of 1847 and was here 10 or 12 years, farming during most of the time. After that he went on the plains and became one of the first riders to take the United States mail on horseback to San Francisco. After a few years at this occupation he went to Salt Lake City and married and settled down there, where William was born about 45 years ago.... Wm. D. HAYWOOD has an uncle, James MESSICK, living here. Another uncle, Jeff HAYWOOD, for years operated the city scales and his office was headquarters for old soldiers. He also had a fish stand under the stairway in the McCoid building on the southeast corner of the square.
