If Loda E. Haines and Alma B. Cottman had the following children: Thomas Everett Haines Guylor Haines Lorna Haines-Morning Dora Haines George Haines Forest Haines There's another brother that lived in Dowagiac, MI Can't remember the names of the other siblings
I do know that I attended a family reunion before Alma Haines passed and that there was over 100 descendents that attended in Cassopolis in the 1960's. Most of the were from Muncie and other areas in Indiana.
They were all from Muncie, IN. I do know that Alma died at age 96 and resided on RR#6 in Cassopolis. To the last of my knowledge the Haines home is owned by the youngest Haines brother George.
My grandmother married Thomas (Jack) Everett Haines and he was my step-grandfather.
