FUNERAL JAMES J. HAYNES LARGE AND SORROWFUL ONE
Cortege Moved From Home to Episcopal Church Where Services Held, and Thence to City Cemetery
The funeral of the late James J. Haynes, who died at his home in the city on Thursday afternoon from pneumonia, took place from the home 1704 Matamoros street, to the Episcopal church yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and was one of the largest and most sorrowful funeral processions witnessed in this city in many years past.
At the home the casket rested in a veritable bower of beautiful floral designs, these mete attestations of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by his legion of friends being banked on all sides of the casket and some having been gently placed on top of it. During the day many of the people of Laredo including old and feeble Mexican men and women who had know "Don Santiago" from the time of his arrival in Laredo in 1881 and learned to hold him in kindliest esteem, called at the house of sorrow to gaze for the last time on the cold and stilled features of him who lay there in eternal sleep and drop a farewell tear to his bier.
From the home the funeral procession preceded to the Episcopal church, where solemn services were conducted by Rev. Charles W. Cook with the full funeral rites of that church and assisted by the choir. At the grave services were also conducted by the Rev. Cook. The Elks, of which organization the deceased was one of the most esteemed members, attended the funeral, but they did not participate in the funeral services with their ritualistic ceremonies. Interment was made in the burial plot of the Elks Lodge where Mother Earth now holds the remains of a man who is missed by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.

The burial plot listed on this memorial is a burial record number from a Sexton Registered Book, Lot Inquiry list from the Laredo Public Library and probably has no relation to the current Cemetery Burial List except the "Elks" block. It indicates when (1918) and the burial order #44
Burial Plot is probably Block Elks, Section 3, Space 123 or 125

HAYNES, JAMES J.
James J. Haynes, who holds the important position as collector of customs for the customs district of Corpus Christi, Texas, is a native of Texas, where he has passed practically all of his life. He was born at Rio Grande City, on the lower Rio Grande, in Starr County, Southwestern Texas, in 1853, his parents being Col. John L. and Angelica (Wells) Haynes. James J. Haynes, was reared principally in Austin, where he attended school. When only eighteen years of age he went to Brownsville and became inspector of customs there, this being in 1872. The following year he was appointed commercial agent for the United States at Mier, Mexico, and in 1874 he went to New Laredo, Mexico, as commercial agent, in which position he remained until 1881, when the office was made a consulate. In that year he located in Laredo, Texas, which has been his home ever since. Here he was United States commissioner for about two years, following which he was in business in this city for himself, as customs house broker. In 1898 he was appointed by the late President McKinley as collector of customs for the customs district of Corpus Christi, which position he still fills, having been reappointed thereto by President Roosevelt. His lifelong residence in the state and his extended experience in this and kindred lines peculiarly fit him for the duties of the office and he performs them in a manner similar to that of his distinguished father.
Mr. Haynes is a prominent figure in the Republican party of Texas and he is also closely identified with the affairs of his home town, Laredo, where he is a leading citizen. He was married in this city to Miss Angela M. Arizola. (A Twentieth Century History of Southwest Texas Vol 2, Lewis Publishing Company, 1907 )
