OBITUARY
TRAGIC DEATH OF YOUNG VETERAN
LEONARD HAYNES KILLED BY FALLING TREE LIMB
     Death sudden and tragic came to Leonard HAYNES, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. 
Dudley HAYNES, near Garfield, on Tuesday, March 10, 1948, while the young man 
was sawing timber for logs.  Accompanying him in the work were his father, 
brother, Willard HAYNES, and Walker WRIGHT, Negro, all of whom were working in 
the woods when the accident occurred.  WRIGHT, who was sawing with young 
HAYNES, stated that they were cutting down a large Poplar tree.  With what 
seemed to be little or no cause, a limb some two or three feet long and six 
inches in diameter broke off high in the tree, and came straight to the ground, 
striking young HAYNES on the head and killing him instantly.  He is said to 
have sustained a fractured skull and other injuries about his head and neck.  
     The body was removed to the R. T. Dowell Funeral Home, and later taken to 
the parental farm home, remaining there until the funeral Friday afternoon.  
This service was held at the Freedom Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which 
he was a member.  The pastor, the Reverend A. B. Hiser, officiated.
PALLBEARERS were:
Harold BASHAM          Harold PAYNE
Marvin BASHAM          Bobby HAYNES
Wilbur HAYNES          Leo McCOY

Surviving young HAYNES are:
his parents
one brother, Willard HAYNES of Garfield, Ky
four sisters:
Shelby Jean HAYNES in the home
Mrs. Vernon DOWELL of Louisville, Ky
Mrs. Carl Edward POOLE of Louisville, Ky
Mrs. Noah BRUNER, Jr. of this county
     The young man was born and reared in the Garfield community, and is a 
veteran of World War II.  He had many friends over the community, and was a 
young man of honor and thrift.  The three men, father and two sons, were 
considered good farmers, and had surrounded themselves with good tools, all 
necessary equipment for farming.  Leonard was a willing member of the firm, and 
the three worked together to make their farm and home outstanding in the 
vicinity of Garfield.
