E. G. Haden.

One of the most enterprising and
energetic men in our city and one who
by the outlay of his capital has added
greatly to its architectural beauty is

Mr. E. G. Haden. As a public officer,
philanthropist and man of business
no one has a longer or more honorable
record than he. Mr. Haden believes
in improving every
[ILLUSTRATION]
moment and
not a second of
his time is spent
in idleness. In
addition to conducting
a large
real estate business
Mr. Haden
deals in feed and
grain and operates
a grist mill.
He also buys
property and erects houses to sell,
loans money on real estate security
and is a Justice of the Peace. His
office is located at 524 E. Main Street
and is elaborately fitted. Mr.
Haden was born in Fluvanna
county and after completing his education
engaged in farming and stock
raising which he continued until ten
years ago, when he moved to this city
and entered the real estate field.
Later he erected the grist mill and
engaged in the feed and grain business.
Eight years ago he was appointed
Justice of the Peace to fill out an unexpired
term and since then has been
elected to the office without opposition.
He does a general business in the real
estate line, renting, buying and selling
property and negotiating loans. As a
Justice of the Peace he decides minor
civil suits and small criminal cases.
