REPORT ON OBITUARIES, MEMORIALS, AND CHANGES

Since our last Associational meeting, one of our most faithful

preachers, Rev. J.M. Haynes, died and went to his reward, January

20, 1930. Bro. Haynes was one of our most useful preachers. He often

went where no one else would go. He went into the homes of the poor

and encouraged them in a way that left them feeling that they had a

true friend. We often wonder who will take the plac~ of our beloved ~

J. M. Haynes.
