JOB R. HAINES (deceased) was born in North Carolina, September 14, 1809, and was a son of John and Lydia Haines, who settled in this county in 1810. The subject of this sketch was but one year old at the time the family settled here. He received the rudiments of his education in the district schools, which was developed by a course of study in the McMillen College in Xenia, Ohio, which thoroughly fitted him for the profession of teaching, which he began at age of eighteen, and followed steadily in the county for sixteen years. June 14, 1840, he was married to Rebecca, the daughter of William and Ann Noble, old settlers. For three years after his marriage, he taught school during the winter months and farmer in the summer, after which he located on land in Greene Township, which he purchased, cleared up, improved and lived on for twelve years, when he sold out, and in 1854 purchased 40G acres, where his wife at present time (1882) resides. This land he cleared up and improved, which at his death was one of the best improved farms in the township. He prospered and was a hard-working and successful farmer — shrewd, but never venturesome. His interest in schools and the general advancement of education, was always strong, and he zealously supported every measure that had a tendency to develop the intelligence of the people. He was reared in conformity to the requirements of Quaker faith and discipline, which faith he clung to through life. To him were born six children, all living, viz., Mary J., born in 1841; William N., born in 1843; Stephen P., born in 1845; Samuel L., born in 1847; Frank M., born in 1850; Albert M., born in 1855. Mr. Haines departed this life August 26, 1879; was a member of Free and Accepted Masons, belonging to the Vienna Lodge. Mrs. Haines was born in Greene Township, Clinton Co., Ohio, June 14, 1821.
