George William Haynes

Notes:

George William Haynes had many occupations during his lifetime. He was a Carpenter, drilled water wells, ran a saw mill, and wheat thrashing operation, graded roads, owned a trucking business, and owned a gasoline service and auto repair business. George grew up in Carroll County Missouri, and there is little innformmation regarding his younger years. It is believe that he finished the 8th Grade. No information regarding High School. In 1904 George was employed by a Mr. Charles Simmons on a farm in Grundy County, Missouri. By 1904, George and Quillie had five children, Lura Lee, born 1889, Alta Mae, born 1893, Earl Floyd, Born 1895, William Everest born 1900, and Maggie Marie Born, 1903. At this time the family moved, and they lived on the farm. On April 5, 1904, their second child, Alta Mae died of intestinal tract problems. The family moved back to Carroll County, and went to work for a John Hoyt, the owner of a saw mill. Quillie (Miller) Haynes and her twin sister Rillie, were both suffering from lung problems that developed during childhood. In 1909 George moved the family to Southern Missouri. It is though the reason for the move may have been for Quillie's health. Quillie's father was living near Collins, Missouri, in St Clair County. In 1911, George worked as a Carpenter, and was away from home much of the time. He, with the assistance of his father-in-law, Alfred Miller, purchased the equipment, and built a saw mill. In 1914, Quillie's health began to deteriorate, and she died July 3, 1914. Quillie was a very loving mother, and she was greatly missed by her husband and childred. At this poinnt the youngest child, Maggie Marie, thirteen years old, went to live with here oldest sister, Lura Lee (Haynes) Witt. Sometime after 1914, George, purchased a steam engine, a wheat thrashing separator, and a road grader. In 1923, George approched his oldest son, Earl Floyd, and proposed that the family move to California. At the time, Earl was renting a farm and was trying to make it pay. He had a wife, Mary Nancy (Kirkpatrick),and a small son, Kenneth Earl. When first proposed, Earl's response was that he had the farm and family, and it was impossible to even think of such an enterprise. George persisted, and persuaded Earl, providing Mary Nancy consented to go. Earl agreed, under the missapprehension that his wife would never consent to such a move. Apparently, George was able to get Mary Nancy to consent to go, and Earl was now committed. It is also believed that the cancellation of a $100.00, debt owned to George by Earl may have had something to do with the agreement to go to California. The $100 in 1923, would be equal to about $1,000 in 1994 dollars. Within two weeks, Earl had sold everything they could not carry to California. The group that was to make the trip was Earl, Mary, and their six year old son, Kenneth, William Everest Haynes, George's youngest son, twenty-three years old at the time, and of course George. The caravan included two new 1922, Model T Fords. The Group left on August 31, 1923. The trip was quite an adventure, since the roads in 1923, were dirt, and for the most part no more than two ruts as a trail, with few amities along the way. The caravan went through Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally into California. The original destination was Long Beach, California, where jobs were reported to be available. The group arrived in Barstow, California, and someone suggested that they go through Taft, California, as there was someone from Missouri they had known and was working in the oil fields. The caravan turned West, and headed out across the Mohove Desert. The time of year was September, and as anyone that has been in the Mojove Desert can atest, it can be very hot at this time of year, and apparently 1923, was no exception. The trip from Barstow to Taft took two days. The Group landed in Taft, California, September 13, 1923. The two Model T Fords performed perfectly. There was not even a flat tire on the trip. Everest Haynes told the author of this report, who was six years old at the time, the only thing that he did to the Model T, was tighten the clutch bands occassionally. Earl Floyd and William Everest obtained jobs the second day after arriving in Taft. George stayed in Taft about a month, did not find it to his liking, and returned to Missouri. Earl Floyd remained in California the rest of his life. William Everest lived and worked in Taft until 1929. He was working for Texaco Oil Company at the time, was layed off, and went to Arkansas. A short time after returning to Missouri, George married for the second time, one Lillian Sutt, and for their Honeymoon, George took his new bride to Taft, California, and return to Missouri after a short stay. It is reported that Lillian tried to change George's religious habits, and apparently he took exception and considered it an intrusion. The couple were divorced within a year. In 1928 George sold his steam engine and wheat thrashing equipment, and returned to North Missouri. He opened a gasoline service station in Alavon, Missouii. In 1929, he purchased an auto shop and service station in Hale, Missouri, from a Mr. Bates. In 1928 or 1929, George married for the third time. The bride was Minnie Dye. They were married in Hale, Missouri. In 1930, George purchased a truck, expanded his enterprise to two service stations, and auto repair, and trucking business. In 1933, George's youngest son, William Everest, had moved from California to Arkansas, but moved to Hale, Missouri to go into business with his father. George William Haynes died June 10, 1936, of cancer. He is buried beside his first wife, Quillie Hester (Miller) Haynes, in the Brush Creek Cemetary, in St. Clair County Missouri. Ralph Talman Haynes, a cousin, and President of the Carroll County Trust Company, was the executor of the estate of Geroge and Quillie Haynes.

Notes:

Desiree was adopted on May 5, 1972, by David A. McGlone, b 1 May 1945, Brocton, MA.

Desiree Lee Tumas, 54, passed away on Tuesday June 4, 2020 following a three-year battle with cancer. Born in Coronado California, she was the beloved daughter of Russel Haynes and the late Marion Stephens, and cherished wife of 32 years to John (Jay) Tumas.

Desiree graduated from Grissom High School in Huntsville, Alabama, and went on to study at the University of Alabama, eventually entering the Healthcare field as an Emergency Medical Technician. After her EMT career, Desiree dedicated many years of her life caring for people as a Nursing Assistant, which was her profession when she met the love of her life Jay in Framingham, Massachusetts, in 1986.

Desiree was working the night-shift at the old Middlesex County Hospital attempting to get some sleep after a 12 hour shift. Jay was the unfortunate landscaper that showed up at 08:00 AM sharp to perform his duties with loud machinery which rousted her enough to have a look out the window, and the rest was history.

Jay and Desiree married in 1988, honeymooned in Europe, and settled in Framingham, MA where she focused on raising a family and caring for her elderly Father-in-Law, until 1999 when they moved to a lake house in the lakes region of New Hampshire. Once in NH, Desiree quickly became active in Municipal work, serving as Planning Administrator while assisting with Zoning and Welfare Administration for a couple of municipalities.

For the last several years, Desiree has been retired from professional work concentrating on enjoying family, friends and the beautiful region of the country in which we live on her Harley Davidson 883. The girl did love to ride! Desiree passed away at her home in Epsom NH, surrounded by her family and pets, exactly as she wished.

Besides Jay, she leaves her daughters, Ashley and her partner, Drew Bye of Barnstead, NH, Meghan of Epsom, NH; her granddaughter, Camryn Bye of Barnstead, NH; her brother, Shawn McGlone of Wolfeboro, NH and her nieces, Gabrielle and Morgan McGlone also of Wolfeboro, NH.

Desiree's Memorial Visitation was held on June 13 at the Bennett Funeral Home in Concord, NH, followed by a procession and burial service at St. Stephens Cemetery in Framingham MA.

Desiree will be remembered as a trusted friend, thoughtful Caregiver, adored Wife, loving Mother, cherished Mimi, proud Daughter of the Revolution, diligent Patriot of our great Nation, and a powerful, free spirit.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Bennett Funeral Home of Concord. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at https://www.BennettFuneral.com for the family of Desiree Lee Tumas.
