"An Illustrated History of Whitman County, state of Washington." San Francisco: W. H. Lever, 1901. p.284. NAPOLEON HAYNES a successful agriculturist of the vicinity of Johnson, an active participant in political matters, local, state and national, and one of the representative citizens of Whitman county, is a son of the west, having been born in Yam Hill county, Oregon, the date being December 6, 1853. His parents had crossed the plains with ox-teams earlier in the same year. Mr. Haynes grew to manhood in the "Webfoot" state, enjoying such educational advantages as were to be had in the public schools of his day. In 1877 he moved to Whitman county and filed on a quarter section of government land two and a half miles northeast of Johnson, where he now lives. His realty holdings were increased by purchase later, and he now owns two hundred and eighteen acres, all of which has, under his skillful husbandry, been brought to an excellent state of cultivation. Many improvements have resulted from his assiduous labor, and the air of thrift everywhere perceptible about his premises offers unmistakable evidence of his skill and good management. During all the years of his residence in the Palouse country his life has been so ordered as to win the respect and confidence of those with whom he has had business or social relations. Fraternally he is affiliated with the I. O. O. F. and K. of P., at Colton, and with the Woodmen of the World in Johnson, also belonging to the ladies' auxiliary of the last-mentioned order. The marriage of our subject was solemnized on February 14, 1883, when Miss Emma, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Bruce) Carter, became his wife. They have become parents of five children: Ernest C., Roy, Lester, Maude and Lydia. ******************* Submitted to the Washington Biographies Project in April 2008 by Diana Smith.
