Floyd Leonard Hayden
(1892-1917)

Floyd was half English (most likely) and half Muckleshoot Indian.  Because he died so young and his son had no memory of him, most of the information about Floyd went to the grave with him, including his identity as a Muckleshoot.  Floyd's parents were Ander (?) Hayden and Ann Wiley according to the death certificate below.  Floyd was killed by railroad train car couplings.  He might have lived a full life if Congress hadn't taken so long to pass  legislation requiring universal train couplings and/or Congress had not granted immunities to employers before the doctrine of respondeat superior.
