The Haines family plot is large and contains numerous stones for the family in Oak Lawn Cemetery in Jordan. This one was beside the large monument for Roy. I always feel bad when I see a stone for a child and want to make sure that although their life was short, it is not forgotten.
Marie Pauline Haynes was born in Lincoln, Ontario on 1 October 1905 to parents Archie Haines, a general merchant and Lucetta Overholt.(1) She appear in the 1911 Census of Canada with her parents and baby sister Rita, who all live with her grandfather Gabriel Overholt. All members of the household were of Dutch origin. Archie's occupation is a real estate agent, likely with his brother Roy. Sadly, Marie died in hospital on 5 December 1913 due to appendicitis. Poor little girl would have suffered terribly. (3)
