Signed "E.G. HAYES", lower right c. 1895. Edward Graham. Hayes was born in Canandaigua, New York, the oldest son of Dr. and Brs. Joseph Byron Hayes. Suffering from a lung ailment, Edward Hayes traveled to Florida and the West Indies in 1879. Still unwell, his parents sent him to Colorado in 1880 at the age of eighteen. Hayes first stayed at the Douglass Ranch, eight miles from Colorado Springs. By the autumn of that year he was sufficiently recovered to begin studies at Colorado College. During the summer of 1881 Hayes went on a long pack trip to Wyoming Territory. He returned to the east in the fall and enrolled in the Pennsylvania Military Academy. In 1883 he entered Union College, Schenectady, New York, but left in his junior year to return to Colorado. In 1886 in partnership with Charles W. Codwise, Hayes established the ZA Ranch at Granger, Colorado. He stayed in Colorado as a rancher until 1889 when he dissolved the partnership with Codwise. The next year Hayes and his brother Chester sailed to Paris to study art but they returned in July because of their fathers' illness and death. On September 9, 1890, Edward Hayes married Lizzie McGill of Manitou Springs. Giving up painting as a profession in 1892, the couple settled in Canandaigua. Mr. Hayes was occupied in private business affairs and in the supervision of Sonnenberg, the estate of Mrs. Frederick F. Thompson, until 1901, when he purchased the private banking business of Williams & Barnes. This business was in May, 1902, merged with McKechnie Bank, a state bank, Mr. Hayes becoming vice-president and manager. In January, 1909, he was elected president, and continued to hold that office (1910) . In politics Mr. Hayes has been an independent Republican, and has never sought public office.
