HAYNES - At his home in Union Monday morning, October 15th, at 2 o'clock, Elitle Haynes, aged 71 years, 6 months and 10 days.

Elittle Haynes was born in Kentucky and lived there until 1853 when he removed to Arkansas, in which state he was living at the breaking out of the rebellion. Until that time in politics he had been a staunch democrat, but when the first boom of the cannon fired at Fort Sumpter rolled across the continent, telling the purpose of the rebellion, Father Haynes felt the last bit of democracy, as he knew it in southerndom, leave his body, and from that time forth he thrilled with loyalty to the flag and imbibed true principles of republicanism. Surrounded as he was with his country's enemies, it took a man of nerve to be loyal, but he was equal to the occasion, and though compelled at times to leave to save himself, he never flinched to his principles, and when later in the war it was possible todo so, he raised a company of his loyal neighbors scattered here and there, and as their captain, offered their services to the government. He stood by till the last sound of strife died away, and then, putting himself on what he considered the right side of reconstruction, has ever been loyal to the old flat. In 1875, he moved to Oregon and settled in Union county where he has ever since resided.

He has always been considered a good citizen and neighbor. He was a prominent member of Preston Post. No. 18, of the Grand Army of the Republic, whose interests he was ever desirous of advancing. But the old soldier heard taps, saw the lights of time go out, and so retired for the night of the grave to await the general reveille of eternity's morning. He was buried on Tuesday at 11 o'clock a.m. from the M.E. church and laid away in Union cemetery.

Preston Post No. 18, G.A.R., of Union, at a meeting on Tuesday appointed a committee to draft suitable resolutions pertaining to the death of Comrade E. Haynes, and the committee made the following report:
WHEREAS, In the course of providential dealing our comrade, Elitle Haynes, was removed from our midst by death, we, as his comrades, desire to express our estimation of our brother, soldier, and do present the following resolutions:
Resolved, That in Comrade Haynes we ever found a true patriot; one who loved his country even better than life; a brave soldier daring to stand by the flag in the most trying circumstances.
Resolved, That as a comrade he has ever been true, in heart and hand, to his fellow comrades, willing and sympathetic in every measure to perpetuate the fraternity of the patriotic soldiery.
Resolved, That as a citizen, neighbor and friend; we have ever found him ture and faithful, and that we will esteem him in our memory as a worthy comrade.
Resolved, That as a post we express our sympathies with the aged widow and the family, who no doubt feel deeply their loss.
