He met his bride, Mary Nancy Kirkpatrick and they were married in 1915, in Ruckens, MO (which no longer exists). The couple moved to Ft Scott, KS, sometime before 1917, where Earl worked in the machine shop for a railroad. The couples first child, Kenneth Earl Haynes was born in March 1917, in Ft. Scott, KS.
The couple returned to Missouri, and Earl returned to farming, until the summer of 1923, when the family, which included, Earl's father and brother, convenced Mary that California was their future. They sold everything they could not take with them and headed for California in three new Model T's.
The group had intended to go to Long Beach, CA, but in Barstow, they decided to detour to Taft, CA to visit a friend of Earl's brother. When they arrived in Taft, they all found jobs, except the father, and decided to stay a while.
Earl eventually went to work for Standard Oil Co., in Taft, as a machininst. During the depression, he had to take half time hours to keep his job, so other men could also continue to work. They got though that and he eventually retired from the Oil Co.
Mary died in 1956, and Earl moved to Bakersfield, CA and took up selling newspapers on the corner of the Bakersfield Californian. He married again to Esther Carlson, in 1962.
On Nov 16, 1974, Earl was going to Taft, CA to visit family and didn't stop before pulling out onto a Highway. There was a collison and he was killed instantly.
Earl was a good man, father and husband.
