Signature

Charles Hayden (July 8, 1870 – January 8, 1937) was an American banker, businessman, financier and philanthropist. He was the senior partner of Hayden, Stone & Co. and his influence was such that James W. Gerard listed him among those "who are too busy to hold political office, but determine who shall."[1] Noted contributions bearing his name include the Hayden Planetarium[2] in New York, the Charles Hayden Planetarium at Boston's Museum of Science,[3] and the Charles Hayden Foundation. Instrumental in the financing of Arizona copper mines and smelters, the smelting community of Hayden, Arizona, was named for him.[4][5][6]
