Faxon Hayford, who was in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac in the Civil War, and was a member of the famous First
Minnesota Infantry, died at his home in Gladstone Friday night, following a long illness. He had been hovering between life and
death for several days. He was 74 years old.

Mr. Hayford was twice severely wounded, the first time in front of Richmond and the second time at the battle of Gettysburg.
At Gettysburg the First Minnesota was ordered to hold Longstreet's entire corps in check until Hancock could get the second
corps in line. The regiment was almost annihilated, only 42 surviving the charges of the Confederates. The loss in that battle
was greater than any regiment sustained at any engagement in the entire war.

Two sons in Minnesota, a daughter in California and a daughter in Oregon City survive him. He came to Clackamas County many
years ago from Minnesota.
