J. M. Haynes

After an illness extending over five years which for the last several months grew steadily worse the life of Mr. J. M. Haynes quietly went out at eleven o'clock Saturday night. Funeral services were conduced at the First Baptist Church at 4 o'clock by Rev. Lonnie Robbins. A beautiful comforting lesson was read from the fourteenth chapter  of St. John. The remains were laid to rest in Farmers Branch Cemetery.

He was 71 years of age, a kind husband and father. A man of deep religious convictions. For twenty years he was a clerk in a Baptist Church and sixteen years a deacon. During the long weary months of  his suffering he was patient and uncomplaining. When asked by friends about his condition the answer was always the same, "very well."

He leaves a good wife who was constantly at his side like a ministering angel, a devoted daughter, Mrs. M. M. Mullen, and two sons, J. D. and T. H. Haynes of Gainsville.

At the cemetery under a mound of flowers we left him to await the morning of the resurrection when the dead in Christ shall rise first. May the Christ who said "I will not leave you comfortless, come to those in grief and bind up their broken hearts. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."
