SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The papers of Edward Everett Hayden and Family span the
years 1817-1965. Most of the items in the collection comprise
the papers of Edward Everett Hayden, a rear admiral in the United
States Navy, and are concentrated in the period 1879-1932.
Hayden's navy files are wide-ranging, but they focus on his
scientific work for the navy and his command of the United States
Naval Station in Key West, Florida (1910-15). There is, in
addition, a wealth of other Hayden family material richly
documenting military family life in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries; approximately one-third of the collection is
family correspondence. Hayden's wife, Kate Reynolds, came from a
military family; the Hayden's eldest son served many years as a
medical officer in the navy; their second son graduated from the
United States Military Academy at West Point and served in the
army until 1920; and the youngest son attended military schools
and served in the army during World War I. The oldest items in
the collection are the papers of Hayden's grandfather, William
Hayden, a Massachusetts Whig and postmaster of Boston. Prominent
correspondents of William Hayden include Daniel Webster, Jacob
Collamer, and John Davis. The most recent material relates to
Mary Bainbridge Hayden, the admiral's youngest child, who donated
the collection to the library.
Edward Everett Hayden (1858-1932) was born in Boston and
graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1879. He lost
his leg in a climbing accident while on duty with the United
States Geological Survey and subsequently was forced to retire in
1885. Through a special act of Congress, Hayden was restored to
active duty in 1901, but was restricted to shore duty. During
most of the intervening years, he worked for the navy as a
civilian.
Hayden worked for the navy primarily as a scientist. In
addition to his official duties, he published articles on
timekeeping, hydrography, and meteorology, especially relating to
hurricanes. The series titled Navy Files includes Hayden's
correspondence with the Navy and War departments as well as
office correspondence and miscellaneous items from each of his
duty stations. A large number of official papers, photographs,
and various documents preserved in the Navy Files relate to
Hayden's work in charge of time service and chronometers at the
Unted States Naval Observatory, Washington, D.C., from 1902 to
1910 and his service as commandant of the Key West naval station
from 1910 to 1915.
Many of Hayden's activities outside the navy are represented
in the Subject File series. Material that was of professional
scientific interest to him (meteorology, hydrography,
timekeeping) is located here, as are the papers on his various
inventions, patents, and personal business matters. Papers from
his three-year position as secretary of the National Geographic
Society are also in the Subject File.
The Family Papers series is organized into subseries by name
of family member. Within each person's file, the family
correspondence contains letters and cables written by that family
member or spouse to other relatives. In some cases, the files
also contain incoming letters. Following the family
correspondence of each person are the general correspondence,
financial material, photographs, school papers, writings, etc.,
of that person. Amounts and types of material differ for each
family member. Excepted from this organization are the files of
Edward Everett Hayden, whose personal nonfamily papers comprise
the rest of the collection. Listed alphabetically below are
short descriptions of family members represented in the
collection and the types of materials to be found in each
subseries.
Alfred Hayden (born 1894)
Edward Everett Hayden and his wife, Kate Reynolds Hayden,
sent Alfred, their youngest son, to Staunton Military Academy in
Staunton, Virginia, and later to Virginia Military Institute.
Alfred wrote numerous letters home describing his life at
military school. He attended college at the University of Maine,
Orono, and by June 1917 was a lieutenant in the United States
Army. Alfred married Marie Vincent Treby in 1918 and several
months later was sent to France to fight in World War I. After
the war, Alfred and Marie settled in Norfolk, Virginia, where
Alfred worked as a fireman. Marie died in 1924; Alfred married
Susan Camp Reams in 1927.
Arthur D. Hayden (ca. 1879-1943)
Very little correspondence remains between Edward Everett
Hayden and his much younger brother Arthur. Arthur spent much
time with their mother in her old age and inherited all the
family property. Most of the items in his papers pertain to the
Nantucket, Massachusetts, properties that he inherited.
Dorothy Hayden (born ca. 1891)
Dorothy, the third child of Edward Everett Hayden and a
prolific letter writer, spent much of her youth pursuing various
educational activities (including school in Europe) and visiting
her brother Reynolds in the Caribbean and in California. Dorothy
moved to Boston in 1924 to study occupational therapy, motivated
in large part by her own emotional problems. She continued to
live in Boston and work as an occupational therapist until 1931,
when she married a neuropsychiatrist named Gaylord Coon. They
had two sons. In addition to her correspondence, Dorothy's
papers include school papers, photographs, and financial
material.
Edward Everett Hayden (1858-1932)
The Edward Everett Hayden section of the Family Papers
series contains only his correspondence with family,
correspondence about family matters, and a series of portraits.
The rest of his papers comprise the remainder of the collection.
Herbert Bainbridge Hayden (1885-1969)
Herbert was the second child of Edward Everett Hayden. An
avid letter writer, Herbert provided great detail about his daily
life from 1904 to 1915; coverage is spotty after 1915. From 1904
to 1907 Herbert attended the United States Military Academy at
West Point, New York, and many letters carefully describe his
life as a cadet. After graduation, he served with the army in
Cuba, the Pacific Northwest, Texas, the Philippine Islands, and
in Europe during World War I. Herbert retired as a colonel in
1920. Eventually, he settled into a banking career in
Philadelphia. He married Ethel Wells in 1929, and they had a son
in 1931. Herbert's papers also include documents from his
military service, photographs, school papers, and financial
material.
Kate Reynolds Hayden (born ca. 1859)
Originally from Lafayette, Indiana, Kate Reynolds married
Edward Everett Hayden in 1882. When not on tour elsewhere, they
resided in Washington D.C., living for many years (ca. 1888-1910)
at the corner of 16th and S streets, NW. They had five children.
Her papers are comprised of correspondence, financial materials,
and photographic portraits.
Louise Annie Dorr Hayden (1837-1910)
Edward Everett Hayden's mother, Louise Hayden, lived in
Boston. She later moved to Washington, D.C., but spent much of
her time in Europe. Her papers consist principally of letters to
her son.
Mary Bainbridge Hayden (born 1895)
Mary, the youngest of the Hayden children, attended private
high school in Europe and graduated from Vassar College in 1918.
After graduation, she worked with charitable organizations in the
United States and Europe, as an Associated Press correspondent on
the Herbert Hoover presidential campaign of 1928, and as a
reporter in Berlin, Germany, 1929-32. She finished her career as
a federal government employee and lived in Washington, D.C. Most
of her family correspondence dates from her high school days in
Europe, the first few years after college, and her time covering
the Hoover campaign. Many of the letters have photographs
attached. Her papers also include diaries, financial material,
school papers, and writings.
Reynolds Hayden (born 1883)
Reynolds was the first-born of the Hayden children. At the
age of seventeen, his father arranged for him to accompany
American military forces to China, and there are several letters
from Reynolds describing his experiences in the Boxer Rebellion.
Reynolds attended medical school at Georgetown University,
Washington, D.C., and made his career as a medical officer in the
navy. Most of his duty stations were in the Caribbean, although
he spent 1912-14 in California. He married Belle Howard in 1908;
she died in 1923. In 1925 he married Helen Troy. Reynolds had
five sons. His papers are comprised of correspondence, medical
writings, photographs, and miscellaneous materials.
William Hayden (1795-1880)
The oldest material in the Family Papers series belonged to
Edward Everett Hayden's grandfather, William Hayden. Most of the
items relate to William's political patronage appointment and
work as postmaster of Boston. Correspondents include prominent
Massachusetts Whigs.
William Vassall Hayden (ca. 1856-1938)
There is one folder of family correspondence from Vassall,
Edward Everett Hayden's older brother. He lived outside Boston.
Lilian Hayden Hieston (ca. 1863-1940)
There are several folders of family correspondence from
Edward Everett Hayden's older sister Lily. She divorced her
husband Walter in 1907, but kept her married name Hieston. She
spent much of her time traveling.
Joseph Jones Reynolds (1822-1899)
J. J. Reynolds was the father of Kate Reynolds Hayden. He
commanded the Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War, achieving
the rank of major general. During the early years of
Reconstruction, he had command of military districts in Texas and
Louisiana; the general correspondence of 1865-67 contains copies
of letters documenting his work there. Also included are
military papers, financial material, and photographs. When he
retired, he moved to Washington, D.C., with his wife, Mary
Elizabeth Bainbridge Reynolds.
