ROBERT HAYMES
[Welland Tribune, 18 August 1905]
Mr. Robert Haymes, who died at this place last week, was the last of the old guard of Englishmen who came out here over fifty years ago and took up county land. Among them were: Braun, Stevenette, Gifford, Osborne, Hill, Hoag, Jones and Phelps-all now deceased he was a conservative in politics and a Methodist of the old school. No roads or weather were too bad for him to get out of service at church at any time during his life. He was a thorough farmer and good neighbor, and highly respected by all who knew him. Mr. Haymes was married in England and he and his wife came here together with three children, the rest of the family being all born in this vicinity. His wife died about seven years ago. The surviving members of his family are Robert, John and Salem of Marshville, Mrs. John Akins, Niagara Falls, Mrs. N.F. Box, Port Robinson and Eliza, home on the farm.
