Name:
Darley C. Hayward was born in Diresville, Iowa, in May 1866, the son of Henry and Ellen Hayward. The elder Hayward was born in England and learned the trade of a butcher. Coming to the United States when a young man, he enlisted in the Union army and served until the curtain was drawn over the Lost Cause at Appomattox court house. Mr. Hayward is still living in Iowa, Mrs. Ellen (Tilley) Hayward was also English by birth, but came to this country with her parents and when but sixteen years of age became the wife of Mr. Hayward in Iowa. She is the other of seven children, of whom Darley C. is the second. After finishing a course in the schools of Iowa young Hayward for a time cast in his fortunes in the meat business with his father, but in 1886, when twenty years old, he left home and went to Kansas. After one year on the plains he came to Washington and obtained employment on the farm of Hyman Scheurkogel in Skagit county, with whom he remained but a few months. A year was then passed in working in various places, when Mr. Hayward returned to his first employer. This time he remained with Mr. Scheurkogel for three years and married his employer's daughter.
In August 1892, the ceremony uniting Darley C. hayward and Mss Mary E. Scheurkogel was performed. In a short time Mr. hayward purchased twenty acres of the land of Mr. Scheurkogel and went to work to clear it for cultivation. The big trees have disappeared and in their place is a modest farm in excellent cultivation, with orchard and dwelling house. Hyman Scheurkogel was born in Holland, but at an early age crossed the Atlantic and settled on a farm in Iowa. In the early seventies he came to Washington and purchased the land on which he has ever since lived. His wife was Sarah Slosson, a native of Iowa. Their daughter, Mary (Scheurkogel) Hayward, was born in Iowa August 9, 1879, but came to Washington with her parents when three years old. Her education was gained in this state. Mr. and Mrs. Hayward are the parents of three children, all of whom were born in their parent's home: Minnie M., Fred H, and Bertha E. Mr. Hayward is a Republcan in politics and is affiliated with the Methodist church, though not an active communicant. the haywards are very pleasantly situated, with an attractive home, a farm well stocked and every probability for still greater success than that already gained by them.

Darley married Mary Ellen SCHEURKOGEL on 14 Aug 1892 in Bride's Home, Skagit Co., Washington. Mary (daughter of Hyman SCHEURKOGEL and Sarah A. SLOSSON) was born in Jul 1876 in Rolfe, Iowa; died on 5 Sep 1959 in Bellingham, Whatcom Co., Washington; was buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, La Conner, Skagit Co., Washington.

Notes:

Name:
Hyman Scheurkogel, one of the pioneers who have seen the country changed from a tangled and almost impenetrable forest wilderness to a place of happy homes and well tilled, productive farms, and one who has contributed his full share toward this development, is a native of Holland, that land which has done so much to demonstrate the practicability of winning an empire from the sea, that land whose sons have many times proven their grit and courage and splendid mettle at home and abroad. He was born December 14, 1846, the son of Abraham and Mary (Vancouver) Scheurkogel, who were farmers by occupation. Being the oldest of six children he had to help, as soon as he was able, with the work on the home place, but his parents gave him opportunity to attend the local schools and he obtained a fair education. At the age of twenty-one he embarked for the European's land of promise, and in due time settled in Pocahontas County, Iowa, where he farmed for the ensuing nine years. In 1877 he went to California, whence, a year later, he removed to Washington, landing at La Conner, August 30, 1878. Pursuing the same plan which many other Skagit county pioneers have followed, he worked out among the farmers for a couple of years, learning the prenliarities of the country and how best to take advantage of them at the same time he was earning his wages. he then took up a pre-emption near Avon. For the next fifteen years he devoted himself assiduously to the cultivation and improvement of this farm, removing the timber from sixty acres of it. Only those who have a realizing sense of the density of timber in western Washington can realize the magnitude of this task. In 1895 he sold all but twenty acres of his original claim and moved to La Conner, where he has since been living in partial retirement, at least from active participation in the farming industry. In addition to the twenty acres before mentioned he has some valuable realty holdings in the city of La Conner.

In 1876, just before starting for California, Mr. Scheurkogel married Miss Sarah Slosson, a daughter of Oscar and Julia (Tousley) Slosson, natives of Ohio, who in the later years of their lives moved to this county, and who passed away here May 6, 1903, and October 10, 1904, respectively. Mrs. Scheurkogel was born in Iowa, Februrary 16, 1859, and received a good education in the schools of that state, where also she taught one term, but her pedagogical career was cut short by an early marriage. She and Mr. Scheurkogel are the parents of one child, Mary E., born in Iowa in July, 1877, now Mrs. D.C. Hayward. The family adhere to the Baptist church, and in political faith Mr. Scheurkogel is a Republican. He is one of the respected citizens of the county, held in high repute in each of the communities in which he has lived and wherever he is known.

Hyman married Sarah A. SLOSSON about 1875. Sarah (daughter of Oscar SLOSSON and Julia TOWSLEE) was born on 18 Feb 1858 in Iowa; died on 14 Nov 1919 in La Conner, Skagit Co., Washington; was buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, La Conner, Skagit Co., Washington. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
