	Charles Haines, although born in Montana during the territorial days,
was,practically,reared and educated in Stevens county,Washington,where he 
now lives. His parents, Guy and Esther Haines, may be classed among the 
oldest settlers of eastern Washington. The father was a native of 
Pennsylvania, the mother of Washington. They were married in Colville,
Stevens county,and lived on what is known as "the old Haines place." Guy 
Haines was for many years employed by the government as an expert plainsman. 
They were the parents of two children,George,deceased,and Charles, our 
subject.
   The latter was born in Flathead county,December 14,1861,and received a 
practical education in the schools of Stevens county. Until he was twenty-
three years of age he remained with his parents,at which period he began
farming on his own account. At present he owns two hundred and forty acres
and has contracted for another tract of land. He cultivates one hundred acres,
which is fenced and otherwise improved,has a number of substantial buildings
and raises considerable stock. He can claim a continous residence on his
present property of twenty years.
   The marriage ceremony between Charles Haines and Miss Mary Heller,was
solemnized on October 4,1881. The bride was the daughter of Thomas and Esther
(Gangro) Heller. The father crossed the plains with a regiment of soilders at 
an early day,serving as a volunteer. The following children have been born
to them: Philines,living in Okanogan county; Lucy,with her parents; Emeline,
married to F.A.Whitney,of Stevens county; Eliza,wife of John Smith,of
