END CAME JAN. 30 AT HIS
HOME IN FLORIDA

Public Many Years and
Had Many Friends

Many hearts in this county
were made sad last Friday
when the news was flashed ov-
er the wires that Harry A.
Haynes was dead. Though it
had been known for days that
the end might come at any
time, the shock was a severe
one to the county.
Harry A. Haynes was born
in Marion on Dec. 6, 1866 and
died in Deland, Fa., Jan. 80,
1920. He had spent his entire
life in Marion until a few
years ago, when on account of
failing health he moved with
his family to Deland in search
of a more salubrious climate.
Being a strong man, mental
ly and physically he spent a
life of unremitting toll from
his early boyhood days until
broken by disease he was fore
ed by disease to take the rest
so long denied him. Working
not only for the benefit of his
family but for the betterment
Of his community, his country
and his church. And in each
plane that he worked he left
an impress that will endure
and follow him.
Mr.. Haynes was a descend
ant Of one of the oldest and
best families of Crittenden
county, his grand father being
the first sheriff of the county.
He married Miss Lizzie 7. Ad-
ans of Ohio, June 8, 1880 and
raised a family of children that
have been an honor to their
father and the community.
The children are: C. w"
teacher of the Mems V. Y. BIZ
bic Class of the Methodist Sun
day school and secretary of
the Gugenheim Mining Co., of
Marion; Milder, who married
T. C.. Bennett and who died
some years ago; Henry. who
after making an enviable sue
cess in the real estate and in
srtrance business at Marietta,
Okla, died several years ago

mess at Tulsa. Okla. Lizzie,
who died in infancy; Ruth,
who married H. c. Sanderson,
a prominent business man OF
Columbus, Ohio; and Mamie,

Mr.. Haynes public service
began as deputy clerk for W.
J. l.. Hughes, and he was
elected circuit clerk himself in
1880 and held that office con-
tinuously until 1904. In 1902
he became secretary of the
Kentucky Fluor Spar Com.
pany, which company he helped
organize and continued with
that company until 1916, when
he was compelled to quit act
i've business on account of his
failing health.
Mr.. Haynes was one OF the
first trustees of the Marion
Graded School, having taken
an active part in its establish.
ment. He was selected treas
urer of the school board and
continued as such and as trus'
tee until 1916.
Mr.. Haynes was a member
of the Masons and Knights OF
Pythias, and as in all things
else in which he became inter
ested, he did much for both
orders and was equally honor

ed to the highest offices in
both.
At an early age Mr.. HAYNES
united with the Methodist
Church, South, and for many
years was a member Of thu

many struggles of that church
in establishing itself in Mariol
his zeal, fidelity and valuable
counsel were an invaluable
help. Many members are
saying today, as they have II
the past that Harry HAYNES
was the back bone OF tn,
church for many years.

tive committee and secretar,
for the republican party in thi
county and that nartv TODAY 4
