 HAYNES. IIAYWARI). -97 seven children: Alice Fanny (Mrs. M. Mor- ton Holmes), Theodore Parker (deceased), Lizzie Gray, Jennie Eliza (Mrs. Fred O. Hard), Cora Marie (Mrs. E. Harte Day), Mabel Stevens, and Edith Margaret Hay nes. HAYNES, TlLI.Y, son of Lyman and ('aniline (Hunt) Haynes, was born in Sud- bury, Middlesex county, February 13, 1828. On his father's side he was a direct de- scendant of Walter Haynes, who was born in England 1583, and came to America in 1635 from the parish of Sutton — Mande- ville, Salisbury, county of Wilts. From the General Court of the colony he obtained a grant of land in Sudbury, where he set- TILLY HAYNES tied, being one of the original founders of that town. On the maternal side Mr. Haynes is directly descended from William Hunt, who came over in 1635 all( ' settled in Concord, where he received a grant of land, and was one of the original founders. When Tilly Haynes was but two years old, his father removed to Billerica, and there the young man received his educa- tion in the schools of that place. In 1842 he went to North Reading and obtained work in a country store ; three years later he entered the employ of Josiah Crosby, in the first, and for some time the only, store in Lawrence. In April, 1849, at the age of twenty-one, he went to Springfield, and opened a small store for the sale of men's goods, and, as the demands of an increased trade neces- sitated, he added two adjoining stores. He was one of the original stockholders in the Indian Orchard Mills. In connection with others, he built a small button factory in Springfield, manu- factured flax machines at Mill River, and sewing machines at Chicopee. In 1857 he built the music hall and theatre, corner of Pynchon Street, Springfield, which was destroyed by the great fire of 1864. This was replaced by the new music hall, and the Haynes Hotel was built and success- fully opened within the next twelve months. Mr. Haynes was married in 1853 to Martha C, daughter of Archelaus and Elizabeth (Hacket) Eaton, of Salisbury. Mrs. Haynes died in 1876, and Mr. Haynes disposed of the hotel and music hall which he had run so successfully, and relin- quished all business. Not desiring to lead an idle life, however, in 1880 he accepted the invitation of the directors of the old United States Hotel, Boston, to take charge of that property, which was con- sidered a hopeless undertaking. He has made a most phenomenal success in its management, doubling the value of the property and quadrupling its business. Mr. Haynes served in the first city gov- ernment of Springfield ; was a member of the lnwer branch of the Legislature 1867, '68, '69, anil '70 ; was a member of the state Senate 1875 and '76, 1877 and '78, and in 1878 and '79 served as a member of the executive council of Governors Rice and Talbot. Fie was chairman of the commit- tee on state-house during its rebuilding in 1S69 ; chairman of the railroad committee 1876, and served on various other commit- tees of the House and Senate, and in every position secured the respect and confidence of his associates. He is one of the metro- politan sewage commissioners recently ap- pointed by Governor Ames. The name of Haynes was originally spelled Hayne, as evidenced on the Haynes coat-of-arms, "confirmed to Thomas Hayne of Fryer Waddon, County Dorset, by Sir William Segar, Garter, 1607." HAYWARD, JOSEPH WARREN, son of George W. and Sylvia S. (Pratt) Hay- ward, was born in Easton, Bristol county, July 1 1, 1841. His early education was received in the common schools, and the academy at North Middleborough. He was afterwards grad- uated from the Bridsrewater normal school,
