Family of George E HAYDEN and Belle Lucy KNOWLES
George E HAYDEN b. 1865 Nov1863 at New York1863. d. 1934 Apr 74777 at at home, Mulberry St., Montour Falls, NY4777. bd. Montour Falls Cem., Montour Falls, NY4777.
Belle Lucy KNOWLES b. 1872~1728 at Orman, NY1728. d. 1949 aft.
Married1728 1915 Jun 101728 at Montour Falls, NY1728. George and Belle were married by clergyman Francis F Rice. Witnesses were Mrs Lena Aldrich and Byron Bastian.
George was a machinist and life-long resident of Montour Falls, NY. He was a member of the Chester Giles Hook and Ladder Company, and past chief of the Montour Falls Fire Department. He was also a member of the Montour Falls I.O.O.F., and the Montour Falls Methodist church. He was employed by the Cronk and Carrier Company for 40 years. He was survived4777 by his widow, Belle; two sisters, Mrs Sarah Scoffield of Rochester, and Mrs Albert Palmer of Lansing, Mich.; two step-daughters, Mrs Harry Lunger of Rochester, and Mrs H J Head of Endicott; one son [step-son?], Norman Hayden of Frankfort. [Norman Hayden appears in the 1900 census4776 as the son of John and Lucy Hayden, Binghamton, NY.]
Belle appears in records variously as "Belle," "Lucy," and "Belle L." Belle Hayden (nee Knowles) marriage to George Hayden was her second marriage1728. As indicated in the 1900 census4774 for Binghamton, NY, listed as "Lucy," she married4774 first, about 1891, John Hayden, born December, 1867, in New York. Three children appear in that census: Iva M, Norman F and Ruth E Hayden. The names of their children are significant because, following Belle's marriage to George Hayden, George and Belle appear with or in the household of Belle's children.
That is, in 1920, George and "Bell" Hayden, listed as father- and mother-in-law, resided in the household of Harry J and Ruth Head. Ruth's age is consistent with the 1900 census for Ruth Hayden. In 1930, Iva M Blanding, divorced and listed as "daughter," resided4772 in the household of George E and Belle L Hayden in Montour Falls. Iva's age is also consistent with the 1900 census for Iva M Hayden. The 1925 state census, which doesn't explicitly list resident or family relationships, for Montour Falls, NY, lists Iva Blanding, "step-daughter," just below George E and Belle L Hayden.
Mrs Belle Hayden of Montour Falls, NY, is mentioned as sister-in-law in the 1949 obituary4776 of Julia (Hayden) Palmer.
