Gyles Henry Hastings was the 6th son and the 9th child of William Wallace Hastings and Margaret Ann Philpott Hastings. He married Ina Tomlinson on Oct 18, 1908 in Tulia, TX, Swisher Co. Henry and Ina had 2 sons and 4 daughters.
"We raised our own living; expenses were minor, we lived good, had plenty," Henry Hastings recalled in 1953. He remembered many bad winters, but during his early years of farming in Deaf Smith County after he moved from Tulia in 1917, the rains were ample, and good crops were raised without irrigation. Neighbors all worked together, helping each other until the work was done; then they played together. They had church and Sunday School parties, picnics, and big reunions lasting for a week at a time.
