On Aug. 13, 1896, Green Haynes Sr. and his wife Ann
sold
to the County of Morgan for one dollar the 99' x 66' plot of ground
that
had already long been known as Haynes Cemetery. The deed specifies "to
be used and enjoyed by the inhabitants of the neighborhood where said
premises
are situated as a Burying Ground or place of interment of the dead. .
."
Haynes Cemetery is one of the more remote and difficult cemeteries to
be
found in Morgan County. It is located about four miles southeast of
Rees
Station and about the same distance northeast of Nortonville. The
cemetery
is in a wooded area high on the southeast bank of Bucks Branch and is
adjacent
to a cultivated field. Legal description of the site, which cannot be
seen
from the nearest road, is in the northwest quarter of the northeast
quarter
of Section 15 Township 13 Range 9 W. About 1945 Leonard Dalton and
Henry
McCann carried fieldstones in to mark some of the graves that lacked
tombstones.
A fence was erected about 1949 and in 1973 was still in good shape.
Several
years ago a Hamilton family, descendant of the Haynes family, is known
to have cleaned the cemetery. In 1969 Robert W. Dalton and his
mother-in-law,
Emma Mary Swain Grady, spent three months cleaning and renovating
Haynes
Cemetery. The Haynes family members buried here are direct descendants
of John Haynes (May 1, 1594 - March 1, 1653/4) governor of
Massachusetts
Bay Colony and several times governor of Connecticut.
