Before she could reach him he was dead. Mr. Haymaker was born in Franklin county, Indiana, in 1858. He married Sarah Harrison in 1888. Eight children were born to this union, six of whom are living. A faithful wife, one brother and one sister are also left to mourn their loss. Michael Haymaker was member of the Baptist church and of the Masonic lodge.

Mike Haymaker was a man highly esteemed by his neighbors, always bore a splendid reputation for honesty and uprightness. In a quiet way he acted his part in life's drama and none can now say that he was not faithful.
