HENRY C. HAYNES, merchant and farmer, of Daviess County, Ind., was born in
Lawrence County, Ind., November 27, 1844, and is the sixth of thirteen
chidlren born to John and Lavina (Sapp) Haynes.  The father was born in
Kentucky, and was brought to Indiana by his parents when only ten years old.
About 1850 he came to Daviess County, where he spent the remainder of his
days.  He was a farmer, and died about 1873.  The grandfather was a native
of North Carolina, and came to Indiana about 1823.  The mother was born in
1821, and is still living.  Our subject was reared on a farm in Daviess
County, and obtained but little schooling.  At the age of seventeen he
enlisted in Company I, Sixty-fifth Indiana Volunteers, in 1862, and was
discharged July 9, 1865, after three-years' service.  After his return
from the army he attended several terms of school, and then taught a number
of years.  At the age of twenty-one he married, and then turned his entire
attention to farming, until 1881, when he engaged in the merchandising
business at Epsom, continuing there four years.  He has lately sold his stock
and expects to move to Plainville.  He has been a successful farmer and
merchant, and owns seventy-four acres of very fine land.  He owns a coal
lease in a vein of three feet of good coal, and operates the mine.  March
2, 1866, he wedded Mary M. Myers, daughter of William T. Myers, whose
sketch appears in this work.  She was born near Epsom in 1848.  They are
members of the Methodist Church, and politically he has always been a warm
and zealous Republican.  He was engaged in the practice of law for nearly
five years, and is a member of the Daviess County bar.
