Pen Sketches of Prominent Citizens
ALBERT S. HAYDEN, ESQ.

Albert S. Hayden, Esq., was born in Fayette county,
Pa., in the year 1825, and lived there until he arrived
at the age of twenty-two years. He removed to Fairmont
in June, 1847, where he has since resided, engaged in
the practice of his profession, which is that of a
lawyer. He received an excellent education in the
schools of his native county, and studied law in the
office of Hon. Robert P. Flenniken, afterwards United
States Minister to Denmark, during the administration
of President Polk. Mr. Hayden, being of a very modest
disposition, and having no political aspirations or
desire for office, has never held any important public
offices, except that of district court clerk, which
position he held from 1852 until 1861, a period of nine
years. In his political beliefs he is democratic. He is
one of the most popular lawyers at the Marion county
bar, and is respected throughout the county as a man
and a citizen, Mr. Hayden's genial disposition has made
him many personal friends, and his acknowledged
superior legal and literary attainments, have
distinguished him among his fellow citizen as one of
the most prominent men of the county.
