4. George Albert Haynes (1887-1952)

George Albert was the son of Levi and Ora (Weeks) Haynes. There was a question ass to if he was the son of Levi and Ora or a son to George Wesley and Mary Haynes. I believe our George was the son of Levi and Ora. He was born 2 Apr 1887 Jasper, Pike County, Ohio. He married Mildred Francis Basye born 19 Jan 1892, daughter of Jesse Alonzo and Mary (Pritchard) Basye. I can only guess as to when they were married, I can not find a suitable marriage record for them.

The first census we find them together in is the 1910 census. They are on Thornton Road in Union, Fayette County, Ohio. They have one child, Mahala and she is only 1 month old. Interestingly, the report states they haven't been married for a month yet. Also in the home, is Millie's 15 year old student sister, Mahala R. Everyone of age can read and write. George rents the house they live in, and he was only out of work for 4 weeks. He is a laborer.

In 1917 George filled out a WWI draft card. This document places the family on New Holland Road. His employment is a farm laborer for A. B. Clifton, near New Holland, Ohio. His dependants include a wife and six children. He is of medium height and slender build. He has brown eyes and brown hair.

1920 census they are still in a rented farm located on New Holland Road in Wayne, Fayette County, Ohio. He is listed as a laborer in the general farming industry. They have six children; Pauline being the youngest at 4 mos old and Mahala the oldest at age 9.

1930 census they are on a street named White Pike in Wayne, Fayette County, Ohio. George rents the farm they live on, but they do not own a radio. The oldest child they have in the home is Clarence and he is 18. Next is Floyd at 17, Andrew at 16, Mary at 14, Pauline at 11, George at 9 and Dorothy at 2 years old. Everyone over the age of 10 can read and write. All the children younger than Andrew and older than Dorothy are in school. George and the 3 oldest boys all are listed as laborers of odd jobs, but George and Andrew were not currently working.

In the 1940 census there is only one child left at home, and that's 12 year old Dorothy. Her highest education is the sixth grade, but she is currently a student. Eight grade is the highest education reported for both George and Francis {Millie.} It says they were renting the same home in 1935. This record lists that during the previous week, he worked 40 hours as a farm laborer and he had worked 40 weeks in 1939 earning him roughly $500.

In 1942, he filled out another draft card, this time for WWII. He reports his residence as 5 1/2 miles west of Washington C.H., Ohio. And his mailing address is Rural Route #3 same town. They do not have a telephone. He is 55 years old and employed by working odd jobs.

George died 3 Nov 1952 in Washington Courthouse, Fayette County, Ohio. Millie died 2 Dec 1963 in Fayette County, Ohio.
