He was located in this city as Presiding Elder of the Oskaloosa District, by the last Conference. The deceased was born in Brooke county, Va., March 31, 1832, and was 56 years and 16 days of age at the time of his death. In his boyhood his parents removed to Washington county, Iowa, where in his eighteenth year he became the subject of saving grave and united with the Methodist Episcopal church. The next two years were spent on his father's farm and at the Iowa Wesleyan University. In 1859 he was licensed to preach and admitted into the Iowa Conference. In 1861 he was ordained a Deacon by Bishop Scott, and in 1863, an Elder by Bishop Ames, and his appointments have been as follows: 1859, Brighton; 1860, Brookville; 1861-62, Lebanon; 1863-64-65, Birmingham circuit; 1866-67-68, Chatham Square, Keokuk; 1869-70-71, Asbury, Mt. Pleasant; 1872 to 1875, Keokuk District; 1876, Albia; 1877-79, Fairfield; 1880-82, Muscatine; 1883-84, Grinnell; 1885-86, Mt. Pleasant District; 1887, Oskaloosa District. He was methodical in all his work. From the time he entered the university he appeared to have relinquished all selfish ends or personal gratification, and to have formed plans, from which he never departed, to accomplish the greatest good to the greatest number. As a preacher he was thoughtful, unimpassioned and instructive; as a pastor he was faithful and sympathetic, as a friend and counsellor, wise and true. While from the beginning of his Christian life he appeared to realize the importance of entire consecration, the last five years have been marked by unusual devotion. He appeared to be permeated with a perpetual sense of the divine presence, which gave him habitual peace, confidence and joy. He walked with God and is and is not, for God has taken him. Thus has passed away another faithful laborer. "Go spirit of the sainted dead; Go to thy longed-for happy home; The tears of man are o'er thee shed, The voice of angels bid thee come. "Though earth may boast one gem the less, May not e'en Heaven the richer be? And myriads on thy footsteps press, To share thy blest Eternity. The final services in connection with the interment of Rev. J. Haynes were held in the spacious church at Mr. Pleasant. An audience completely filling the church attested the esteem and affection in which the deceased was held at his old home. Appropriate remarks were made by Revs. Groom, McFarland, Spaulding and Pillsbury in reference to his sterling qualities as a man and a minister, after which his body was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery in that city. I'd like to add some info and family links for Rev. John HAYNES. His first wife was my GG Grandmother Eliza M. (BURR) STARR's 1st cousin. Rev. HAYNES was married twice, both wives were named Mary. His first wife is buried in the Asbury Cemetery along with the Reverend's parents. birth place: Virginia (possibly West Virginia now but listed as Virginia on his censuses) The HAYNES came from Virginia (now West Virginia). Rev. John HAYNES and Mary MOORHEAD had two sons, Matthew David and William B. HAYNES. Rev. John HAYNES and Mary CLAFLIN had at least four children together.
