A Civil war veteran, died this morning at 6:10 at his home in McKee of a complication of diseases, after an illness of several months. The deceased was an employee of the D. M. Bare paper mill at Roaring Spring up until several months ago when he was taken ill.
Mr. Hainsey served three years in the Civil War and was 78 years old when death came.
In 1866 he was married to Miss Rebecca Butler who survives with the following children: Samuel of Lockport, N. Y., William of Queen, Bedford County, Pa., Mrs. Jane Hueston and Mrs. Effie Dell, both of McKee and Mrs. Anna Albright of Roaring Spring.
He was a member of the Methodist Church of Roaring Spring.

Research Notes:
We suspect that John Hainsey had children by 2 or 3 women, based on the five children named in his obituary of 1915. John's obituary reported that he married Miss Rebecca Butler in 1866. The 1900 census reports that Rebecca had 3 living children and one deceased, who are accounted for by the children that we list for Rebecca. The obituary named Mrs. Jane Hueston as one of their daughters. However, the 1927 death certificate of Rebecca Jane Hainsey Huston reported her birth year as 1861 (before John Hainsey and Rebecca Butler were married) and the names of her parents as John Hainsey and Rebeca Miller. The 1941 death certificate for William, perhaps the son named in the obituary of John, reports William's birth in 1855 with mother Elizabeth Weyant. The 1957 death certificate of Mrs Effie Dell named Effie's parents as John Hainsey and Rebecca Butler. We seek further clarification of these possible relationships.
