John Haig
The Odon Journal
Saturday, September 12, 1896, page 3
When "Uncle" John Haig left the trials and follies of this world to try the realities of another on yesterday morning, Odon lost one of its best citizens. He was born Feb. 29, 1832 in New York, his parents being on their way to central America from England. He has long been a resident and prominent business man of Odon. In his business he has been fairly successful, accumulating a fortune of near $12,000. His death was caused by a chronic stomach trouble of long standing. During his sickness he was patient and kind to all, and his firm trust in God never left him. He was converted and united with the church 46 years ago. Since that time he has lived an honest untarnished life and has set a splendid example for his children and friends. His interment will take place tomorrow at 3:00 o'clock at Walnut Hill Cemetery. Rev. J. D. Hartsock preaching the funeral sermon. He leaves a wife {Urbana Crooke}, three sons and three daughters.
