Buster Haynes was a lieutenant in the Ninth Texas Cavalry.  He was a 
native of Tennessee and received a common school education.  Early 
in the war he enlisted and became an officer, and his gallantry and 
soldierly bearing soon made him poular with his men.  He participated 
in the battles of Elk Horn Tavern, Farmington and Iuka, and was 
killed in the charge of Van Dorn and Price on the works of that city,
then held by Gen. Rosecrans.  His death was lamented by his comrades, 
as he had endeared himself by his chivalrous conduct in camp and on 
the field.
