Life
Hays was born on June 14, 1833, in Scotch Bush, New York, a small settlement a few miles from Johnstown. He was the son of James Hays and Lois Dawley. His paternal grandfather, Alexander Hays, was a Scottish Highlander who immigrated to America shortly before the American Revolutionary War and fought in the war under General Washington.[1]
Hays moved to Gloversville in 1851 and began working in the leather business. He initially worked under leading glovemaker William C. Mills, but in 1854 he began working as a manufacturer. In 1855, he became foreman for the glove factory Ward & McNab. In 1857, he moved to California for health reasons, selling goods to jobbers in San Francisco. He returned to Gloversville in 1859.[2]
After returning to Gloversville, Hays joined his father-in-law Elias G. Ward in glove manufacturing. Two years later, he bought out Ward's interest and owned the business alone, except for a brief period in 1866 (when he worked with William H. Place). In 1890, he formed Daniel Hays & Co. with his son-in-law Lewis A. Tate. Over the years, he made a significant number of improvements to glove manufacturing, like how to dress Para deer-skins and Buenos Ayres hog-skins without difficulty. He was also a member of the Board of School Commissioners and a director of the National Fulton County Bank.[3]
In 1897, Hays was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Republican, representing Fulton and Hamilton Counties. He served in the Assembly in 1898[2] and 1899.[4]
In 1854, Hays married Helen Adelia Ward. They had one daughter, Ida Isabel, who married Lewis A. Tate.[1] Helen died in 1899, and he later married Mary Graham of Philadelphia. He was a member and trustee of the First Methodist Episcopal Church for over half a century. He was a trustee of Syracuse University and Troy Conference Academy.[5] He served as president of the Gloversville Free Library and the Nathan Littauer Hospital board. He was a member of the Freemasons and the Sons of the American Revolution.[6]
Hays died at home on June 25, 1913.[6] He was buried in the Hays family mausoleum in Prospect Hill.[7]
