Samuel Clarence Hyde was born in Ticonderoga, New York on April 22, 1842, a son of Eli N. and Susan S. Hyde.[1][2] He was a twin, and his sister Salina Clarissa died when she was eight months old.[2] When Hyde was three, his parents relocated to a farm near Oshkosh in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, where Hyde was raised and educated.[2]
After leaving the army, Hyde worked as an explorer and surveyor of timber and mining lands in Michigan's upper peninsula.[2] In 1871, he began to farm in Lyon County, Iowa.[3] In the early 1870s, he attended Iowa State University, where he studied law.[2] He was admitted to the bar in 1872, and began to practice in Rock Rapids, Iowa.[4] In addition to practicing law, Hyde was publisher of the Lyon County Press newspaper.[5] Hyde also became active in politics as a Republican, and served as chairman of the party's central committee in Lyon County, Iowa.[6]
Continued careeredit
In 1877, Hyde moved to Washington Territory, and he resided and practiced law in both Seattle and Tacoma.[2] In 1879, he relocated to Spokane, where he continued practicing law.[1] As an early resident of Spokane, Hyde was one of its developers, including construction and management of several commercial buildings.[1] In 1881, he was appointed Prosecuting Attorney of Spokane County and Stevens County, and he served in this position for six years.[7]
In 1894, Hyde was the successful Republican nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives from Washington's at-large congressional district.[1] He served in the 54th Congress, March 4, 1895 to March 3, 1897.[1] During his Congressional term, Hyde successfully advocated for construction of the Fort George Wright army base near Spokane.[1] Hyde was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1896 and resumed practicing law in Spokane.[1] He was a longtime justice of the peace and heard cases in Spokane's justice court until retiring for ill health shortly before his death.[1][8]
Death and burialedit
Hyde died in Spokane on March 7, 1922.[1] He was buried at Fairmount Cemetery in Spokane.[9] Hyde's funeral took place at Spokane's Central Methodist Church, and he received funeral honors from members of the local Grand Army of the Republic post.[9]
Familyedit
In 1869, Hyde married Mattie A. Rogers (1850-1891) of Rosendale, Wisconsin.[1] They were married until her death, and were the parents of two children, daughter Katherine and son Earl.[1] Hyde's siblings included E. B. Hyde, a Spokane banker and real estate developer who also served in the Washington State Senate.[10]
