HAYNES' movements through Michigan and find out more about family members. I know his dates of birth and death, etc. I did visit the cemetery that was mentioned in his Grand Rapids newspaper obituary - Garfield Park Cemetery in Paris Township. Unfortunately, after being shown his grave site by cemetery staff, he had no tombstone... Thank you for the suggestion though.
