1866 Mr. Hyatt was happily married to Miss Mary Pugsley, and four children have blessed the union, James, Willett, John, and Susie. From 1866 to 1884 Mr. Hyatt was engaged in the dairy business at Sing Sing, in his native state. He then removed to Nebraska, purchased a farm in Platte county near the present town of Monroe, where he has carried on an extensive business at farming and stock raising. Politically Representative Hyatt was a democrat until 1890, when he became active in supporting the principles of the Farmers' Alliance, and later he was an active advocate and member of the populist party. He may be said to be one of the original founders of that organization. Although often importuned by his political associates to run for office, Mr. Hyatt has declined such preferment until 1896, when he consented to stand as a candidate for the office which he now holds, and to which he was elected by a handsome majority, exceeding goo votes over his opponent. He is reckoned among Platte county's strongest men. His committees in the house are militia, fish culture and game, insurance, soldiers' home, public printing, and immigration.
