Lillie Antha 1876 to after 1947 but before her husband died, married Mont Haynes. Mont was the son of John Winston Haynes and Mary Charlotte Williams. He died in 1967 and buried in Fairmount-Willow Hills Memorial Park in Willow Springs, IL. Lillie is probably there also since they were living in Illinois when she died. Mont's obit said he had lived with his son for 35 years. I saw in the local paper where he and Antha had done a land transfer in 1947 and at that time they were living in Loda, IL. His obit said Antha preceded him in death. He retired from Corn Products Co in Argo, IL.

Research below done by Jim Garner:
1) The wrong newspaper is cited as the source for her husband Mont's obituary; this version appeared in the August 31, 1967 Times Journal. The confusion may stem from a typesetter's error in the obituary as published there: it states he "formerly lived at Monticello; it should have stated that he "formerly lived at Montpelier."

2) When the obituary was transcribed for findagrave, the word "late" crept in as a descriptor for his granddaughter Lora Lee; it doesn't appear in the original newspaper obituary cited above.

Also, more about the family of Lillie Antha Wheat Haynes and Mont Haynes. (Other than as noted, I was unable to locate findagrave pages):

Lillie Antha Wheat Haynes, born September __, 1876 Russell County, Kentucky, died November 5, 1949 Iroquois County, Illinois. She and Mont Haynes were married at her father's residence in Russell County February 3, 1901. When the census was taken the previous year, the Haynes and Wheat families lived on adjoining farms.

In the May 5, 1949 edition of the Russell County (Ky.) News, the Montpelier correspondent spoke of a recent trip made by the J.W. (Bill) Dudley family to Illinois and wrote in part, "They also visited Mont and Fred Haynes at Loda, Illinois and were sorry indeed to find Mrs. Mont Haynes at the point of death from the effect of a cancer." (Bill's mother and Mont were sister and brother.)

Mont and Antha had one child, a son, Fred A. Haynes, born May 11, 1902 Russell County, Ky., died December __, 1966 Cook County, Illinois. He married Minnie Gladys Dickerson, born c.1907 Carter County, Ky., daughter of William Benjamin Dickerson (104370834) & Hattie Hollingsworth Dickerson, May 11, 1924 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Fred had moved to that area about a year earlier; Mont and Antha moved there at some point between late April 1932 (when her brother Martin V. Wheat died) and November 1934.

Fred and Gladys Haynes had two children, Glen Allen and Lora Lee:

1) Glen Allen Haynes born 18 Aug 1926, Lyons, Cook County, Illinois, died August 26, 1966, Cook County, Illinois. His obituary (Chicago Tribune, August 26, 1966):

"Glen A. Haynes of Hickory Hills, beloved husband of Gloria, nee Murray; devoted father of Ginger, Nancy, Michelle, and Kelly; dear son of Fred and Gladys Haynes; brother of Lora Lee Haynes. Funeral 9:30 a. m. Monday, Aug. 29, from the Schmaedeke Funeral Home, 10701 S. Harlem Avenue. Worth [Cook County, Illinois], to St. Patricia Church, 911 S W. 87th Avenue. Hickory Hills. Mass 10 a. m. Interment Holy Sepulchre. Member of Oak Lawn Johnson-Phelps V. F. W. post. No. 5220. Vice-president Worth Kiwanls club."

He served in the armed forces during the World War II era and took training at the Naval Reserve Aviation Base in Memphis, Tennessee.

2) Lora Lee Haynes born September 22, 1938 (per Illinois birth records abstract; the 1940 census gave her age as six months), died after 1966.
