Hayes, Jerry Miner
JERRY MINER HAYES.

  Jerry Miner Hayes, who for fifteen years has been engaged in the real estate business in New Haven, was born in Savannah, Georgia, June 28, 1856, a son of Richard W. and Sarah Hayes. The father was born in Delaware and became a minister of the Methodist church, devoting his life to that calling. He passed away at the age of sixty-eight years. His wife was a native of Ohio.

  On starting out in the business world Jerry M. Hayes became connected with the clothing trade and later he turned his attention to the railway supply business, in which he was engaged until he determined to concentrate his efforts upon real estate dealing. He has now maintained a real estate office in New Haven for the past fifteen years and has made for himself a very creditable and gratifying position in real estate circles. He has negotiated many important property transfers and carries on a business which in extent and importance places him among the representative men in his life in New Haven.

  It was in this city, in 1896, that Mr. Hayes was united in marriage to Miss Harriet L. Mathes, a daughter of Jacob Mathes, and they have a wide acquaintance in New Haven, where they have long resided, the hospitality of many of the best homes being freely accorded them. Mr. Hayes votes with the republican party but has not been an office seeker, preferring to concentrate his time, efforts and attention upon his business affairs, which, carefully directed, are bringing to him substantial success. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Publicity Club, and a charter member of the Real Estate Board and Automobile Club of New Haven.
