Marjorie Midge Hayden

Midge was a wonderful woman - so independent, so generous and kind. She welcomed all of the children in the neighborhood to have the run of her beautiful property - the woods, the fields, the pond (just don't fall in!) the barn (is there a more perfect clubhouse?) and the famous mulberry tree. She always had a smile for us, and was part of many happy childhood memories. I appreciate all she did, I admire the lady she was, and I will miss her.

I, along with many other people, will remember "Midge" Hayden with fondness and great memories. She was a wonderful woman with a very kind and generous heart. She allowed us (children, at the time) to use part of her barn as our clubhouse, climb her huge mulberry tree (and pick the fruits), pick her blueberries, play in the fields, etc. Although much time has passed, and many of us have moved away, we will always have these wonderful memories that Midge has given us- forever. Thank you,...

Midge will be dearly missed.
I can recall as a young child growing up as her neighbor...
Collecting tadpoles from her pond, laying in the tall grass in her field (where there was always an abundance of wild-flowers to pick for my Mommy), using her barn as a clubhouse, picking blueberries and mulberries (yummy), following the paths she mowed in the woods, and always begging her to let me keep my horse in her barn IF I happened to get one from Santa. I never felt anything but love...

My home used to back up to Midge's on Vischer's Ferry Road. Our dogs would play together and Midge allowed my children and others of the neighborhood to play in her barn. She was a special lady and friend.

We live not far from the old brick home that she once owned on vischer ferry road. I met her a few times at the local price chopper up the road from where she lived. I also saw her in her later years as a registered nurse and she being a patient. But my connection is not of those events but those of my great uncle clyde wagoner who studied and wrote about her father charles steinmetz..The history of her adopted father is the history of schenectady -not far from edison and today few people...

Our deepest sympathy to Midges family, from us, as Mohawk Golf Club members since 1969.
