HUDSON HAINES, retired farmer; P. O. North Lewisburg. The above gentleman was born in New Jersey in the year 1810, July 4; he is a son of Benjamin and Hannah (Hunter) Haines, who were also born in New Jersey, in which State they were married, and from which they removed to and settled near Middleburg, Logan Co., Ohio, in 1820. They were among the early the early settlers, had many hardships and privations to endure, yet they secured a foothold in the great wilderness, and gradually their labors brought comfort and happiness, which they enjoyed until their decease; his father died in 1836, aged about 56 years, and his mother departed this life in 1848, aged about 60 years They were the parents of seven children, six of whom are living, viz, Judiah, Benjamin, John, Elmina, Mary and Hudson, our subject; Betsy is deceased. This family and its connections were the first settlers in Linn Township, Logan Co., his aunt, Phoebe Sharp, nee Haines, being the first white woman in said township. Our subject's early boyhood was passed in New Jersey, and at the time his parents removed to Ohio he was only 9 years of age, and, and as a natural consequence, he saw his full share of the hardships and privations which must be borne in the settlement of the new country. His schooling was meager in the extreme, as a month’s attendance in a subscription school, to which he walked four miles, constituted his education. With his parents he remained until he attained his majority, after which he began life for himself in the green woods with one horse, and he informs us has plowed many a day with a bark line. He first purchased 50 acres of land at $2 per acre, on three years’ time, which was paid for in sugar at 5 and 6 cents per pound. This land he held and improved, besides purchasing other land adjoining, on which he lived until 1868, the time of his removal here. He is one of our self-made men, having begun life empty-handed. and, by untiring energy and good management, has built up a handsome property, consisting of 300 acres of fine land, a portion of which are now homes for his children. In 1868, he left the field of labor to seek the quiet of retirement; he purchased grounds in North Lewisburg, which he has beautifully improved, and is enjoying the fruits of a well-spent life. In 1831, he was married to Sarah, a daughter of William and Sarah Foster, of New Jersey, and early settlers in Logan Co., Ohio. To them eight children have been born, five of whom are living - Wesley, Judiah, John, Caroline and Anna. The deceased are Marshall, Mary and Jesse. The former was a member of Capt. Inskeep's company, 17th O. V. I. After serving nearly a year, he died in a hospital in Nashville, Tenn., aged 20 years. Mr. Haines and his estimable wife have been members of the M. E. Church for more than half a century, are exemplary Christian people, having worked long and faithfully in their Master's vineyard, always discharging the duties of life in the fear of One who ruleth and doeth all things well.
