There was a large gathering of
friends at the funeral over the re-
main Of the E. j. Haynes at the Meth
dist church Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock. Previous to the services the
remains lay in state for two hours
at the residence on Fourth Avenue
west and many friends called to view
them.
The Brotherhood met at the Meth
odist church and marched to the res
idence and acted as an escort to the
remains to the church, and arriving
at the house of worship the members
occupied seats in the gallery.
Surrounding the casket were the
tributes OF many friends in the beau
tiful flowers that spoke the silent
words of admiration for a man who,
in life, held their highest respect, and
in death they expressed something Of
the deep feeling extended to the de-
ceased and the members of the fami-
ly.
The county officials also accompa-
MED the remains from the house to
the church as a mark of reconition,
the deceased at one time being the
county treasurer of Dawson county,
serving from 1902 to the end Of 1906.
The services were conducted by
DR.. H. S Wilkinson assisted by DR.. T.
II. Youngman. The music was furn-
ished by a male quartette, consisting
of Roy Morris, G. w. Downey, l.. D.
Milne and Virgil Boyles, with Miss
Florence Morris at the piano.
After the preliminary services we're
finished DR.. Youngman read the fol-
lowing obituary and tribute to the
life of the deceased:
Edward James Haynes was born
August 20, 1859, at Gross Plains,
Wisconsin. He was one of nine chill
dren, six girls and three boys. He is
the first of this highly respected fam
lily to follow the father into the in
visible, but very real world, of which
we have been taught to think as be-
ing beyond the bounds of time and
space. He died at $500, April 10th,
in the presence of his aged mother

his wife and son, together with mum.

He was twice elected treasurer Of
Dawson county, serving from 1902 te

he went into this Office without max.

the unsullied honor, the good will
and confidence of all with which he
entered it. At the end of his second
term OF Office, he returned to the
grain and milling business at Mt
Vernon, still maintaining his home in
