           IRA HAYWOOD, Deputy Treasurer of Huron County, was born at
        Haverhill, Grafton Co., N.H., Nov. 22, 1855.  His father, ALVAH
        HAYWOOD, was a farmer in the Granite State and also a railroad
        contractor. He was one of the builders of the Boston, Concord &
        Montreal Railroad, and died in Haverhill, when his son was about
        five years of age. The mother's name previous to her marriage was
        LUCRETIA JEFFERS. In 1869, the family came to Port Hope, Huron Co.,
        where MR. HAYWOOD was employed a short time in a saw-mill. He went
        thence to Lexington, where he operated 18 months as a clerk in the
        postoffice, after which he engaged as a salesman with Messrs.
        JOHNSON & BROWN, merchants. He next entered the employment of R. B.
        HUBBARD & Co. at Huron City, where he remained four years. His next
        employ was with THOMPSON & HUBBARD. In the fall of 1879, he engaged
        with LANGDON HUBBARD as book-keeper and officiated in that capacity
        two years.  He came to Bad Axe Jan. 1, 1882, as Deputy Treasurer
        under JAMES ADAMS, and in 1884 was elected Treasurer. He is a mem-
        ber of the Masonic fraternity and belongs to Stafford Chapter of
        Port Hope, No. 66, and to Lodge No. 138. He has officiated several
        years as Justice of the Peace, two years as Clerk of Huron Town-
