    Notes 
    • Wiley Everest Haynes, born November 30, 1930, in Little Rock,
      Arkansas. He move with his parents in 1933, to Hale, Missouri, when
      his father joined Wiley's Grandfather in a trucking business. In
      1941, the family moved to Taft, California, where Wiley graduated from
      High School, in 1948, and shortly thereafter joined the Marines.
      Wiley was sent to Korea, and participated in the "Police Action,"
      where he was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received during the
      conflict. According to a story related to Russell N. Haynes, Wiley's
      cousin, by his father William Everest Haynes, only a few days after
      the end of hostilities in 1953, Wiley was riding on the front fender
      of a military truck. The truck hit and exploded a land mine that was
      buried in the road. Wiley was blown into a rice paddy, and was nearly
      left behind, except that someone sighted his mangled body, half
      submurged in the paddy. Wiley suffered a great deal from his wounds,
      and after months of recoperation in hospitals, finally, he was ready
      to return to civilian live. He carried the affects of these injuries
      the rest of his live. Wiley had the distinctive honor of being the
      first of the Haynes lineage to be wounded in battle since the
      Revolutionary War. While Wiley was in the Marines, he married Rhoda
      Mae Penticoff (Penny) in 1950, at Hawthorn, Nevada. They had two
      children, Kenneth Doyle, born May 20, 1951, and Carrol, born July 25,
      1952. Wiley and Penny were divorced in 1958. After Wiley returned
      from the Koren Way, he was employed by the Pioneer Chevrolet
      Dealership in Taft, California, were he was quite successful, and
      considered one of their top salemen. In 1972, Wiley was employed by
      the G&W Chrvrolet Dealership in Porterville, California as a saleman.
      Later, he entered the Real Estate business in Camp Nelson, California.
      Wiley married the second time to Virginia June Saunders, in Taft,
      California, the date is unknown.
