                           ELMORE L. HAYNOR
          FITTING FUNERAL SERVICES FOR THE ESTEEMED YOUNG MAN
      Brief Biography. - The Remains Laid to Rest in Highland Park. 

Elmore L. Haynor was born in Easton township, Ionia county, on December 30, 
1867. His schooling was in the district school of his home town, and 
subsequently in the Ionia city schools, until he attained the age of 18 
years, when he took up the study of telegraphy. He soon entered the employ 
of the train dispatcher's office of the then Detroit, Lansing & Northern 
railroad company, and remained with the company 11 years.

About two years ago he took a like position with the Kansas City, Fort Scott 
& Memphis railroad company, with headquarters at Fort Scott, Kansas, which 
city was his home up to the day of his untimely death, which was on 
Thursday, January 17th. He was thus aged 33 yrs. and 18 days. 

In August of 1890, Elmore Haynor was married to Julia Mae McGann, of Easton 
township. To the union one child was born, Ethel. He was a son of Isaac B. 
Haynor of Easton township, and has two brothers and one sister surviving 
him; Albert of Easton, Lee of Elwell, Mich., and Blanche Perrione of Dundee, 
Mich. 

Of his last illness, his chief, Mr. Gates, writes as follows: "Elmore was 
taken sick about Christmas time, but had been ailing two or three months. 
This was noticeable to us; and we all tried to get him to consult a 
physician, but he was accustomed to good health, and thought he could wear 
it out. He worked until his condition was almost critical before he gave up. 
His little daughter Ethel had been ill with typhoid fever and we feared 
Emore was coming to it. Subsequently the company's doctors saw him, 
pronounced his malady typhoid, and suggested his removal to the employe's 
hospital, which was done. He seemed to yield to treatment the first few 
days, but on Tuesday night before his death he took a turn for the worse, 
and died on Thursday. 

"By one of those mysterious dispensations of Providence, Mr. John F. Bible 
of Ionia (a brother Knight of Pythias) happened to be in Kansas City, and 
has been of invaluable assistance and comfort to the bereaved wife and 
daughter. He will accompany Mrs. Haynor and daughter to Ionia with the 
remains." 

The remains of Mr. Haynor, and the sorrowing wife and daughter, arrived in 
Ionia at 9 o'clock last evening. The body was taken in charge by committees 
from the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen, who carried it to the 
parlors of Maccabee hall, where it rested under fraternal watch care until 
the hour of the church service this afternoon. 

At two o'clock, very promptly the remains were taken to the Church of 
Christ, attended by detachments from the Knights of Pythias and Woodmen. At 
the church was a large audience of sorrowing friends, for the acquaintance 
of the young man was widespread in this community wherein he lived and moved 
so long. The floral pieces were truly beautiful, the immense five-pointed 
star piece sent by the Fort Scott dispatchers of the Memphis route, being 
superb in design. A pillow from Lucullus lodge of the K. of P., a broken 
circle from the Social club of Olive Chapter, O.E.S., of Fort Scott, Kansas, 
and a profusion of carnations jointly from the B. of L. E. B. of L. F. O. R. 
C. and B. of R. T. of Ionia, were as elegant.

The vocal music was by Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Tunison, with Miss Mildred Beals 
at the organ.

The discourse was by the pastor of the church, Rev. A. B. Griffith, from the 
theme found in James 4, v., 14,"For what is your life." the speaker taking a 
philosophical view of the life here and of the greater life hereafter., and 
commending the bereaved family and the mourning friends alike to him alone 
in whom is sufficiency of comfort and strength.

The remains were consigned to their last earthly resting place in Highland 
Park. The bearers were: John F. Bible, Fred Stevenson, Harry B. McDonald, 
Geo. F. Lauster, A. A. Aniba, Walter J. Callow.
