PATRICK HAYES
PATRICK HAYES.--The list of Sacramento's popular citizens contains the name of no more worthy,
upright and loyal citizen than Patrick Hayes, the assistant chief of the Sacramento fire department. He is a native son of California, born in San Benito
County, March 12, 1873,
a son of John and Anna (Hern) Hayes, who settled in California in an early day, where the father was in the employ of the
government and later engaged in mining pursuits. When Patrick was a small child
his parents removed to San
Jose, California, and there he received his education in the public
schools. After his school days were over he first worked at bricklaying; then
went into the laundry business, first in San Jose and later in San Francisco
and Sacramento. In 1902 he entered the Sacramento Fire Department and was with
Truck Company No. 1 for ten years; then he was commissioned captain of Chemical
No. 2 and held the position for nine years; on July 1, 1921, he was promoted to the position of assistant chief of the
fire department. He is held in high esteem by the citizens of Sacramento.
The marriage of Mr. Hayes united him with
Miss Winnifred Boles and they are the parents of four
children: John F., Hilda, Winnifred, and Annie. In
politics Mr. Hayes is a Republican and fraternally he is a member of the Red
Men of Sacramento.
