3. William#1 "Mark#2"[3] HAYWOOD (Mark#1 Sr, 2). Born, 14 Mar 1852.
Died, 22 Jul 1914, in Victoria New Brunswick. Burial: Jul 1914, in Victoria New Brunswick.
Occupation: stonemason. Individual flags: *ANC, cancer.

Mark #2 was a mason by trade, having done the stone foundation for the
big Fred Boyer house in Victoria. He was also a farmer. He was born in the
house located between Gerald Nevers farm (1988) in Victoria & the brook to
the south (just north of where Gordon Haywood lives in (1993). He brought
up his family in the house on Pucker Street at the top of the hill (occupied
by his son, Edgar, in 1977, although their first house here was
just below present house, where garden is now). He had red hair.

Mark #2 liked to gather with friends in the evening on the store
platform in Victoria & tell yarns. Mark Jr. complained of back
& stomach trouble & died of cancer.
On 6 December 1979, Clarence Cox of Rosedale (antique dealer)
told Etta a story which his father, Mr. Howard Cox (who died 6
December 1949) told him: "Mark #2 HAYWOOD, Will's father,
had a great sense of humour, & when Mr. Cox & Mark HAYWOOD
went out back of Cloverdale picking blueberries, Mark had a terrible
cold, & when asked how he got the cold, Mark said that he had
slept under the wagon all night & there were two spokes broken
out of the wagon wheel, so he must have slept in a draft to catch the cold."

Howard & Florence Cox originally came to Rosedale from Gagetown.

HAYWOOD Oscar Miles son b 3 Apr 1895 age 6
HAYWOOD Leonard Ray son b 26 Oct 1897 age 3

On her marriage certificate Jane HAYWARD-HAYWOOD signed her name
"Jennie" May, not "Jane", but her husband called her Jane per her son, Len.
According to their bible, in Jane's handwriting, the order & date of
birth of their children were as follows:

Lionnie M b 13 May 1882 Ashland; d 19 May 1894
William John b 3 Oct 1884 Victoria *
Myrtle J. b 01 Jan 1887 Victoria
Lula E. b 02 Nov 1889 Victoria 19 Apr 1911
Eric M. b 17 Jul 1892 Victoria
Oscar Myles b 03 Apr 1895 Victoria
Leonard Ray b 26 Oct 1897 Victoria
Edgar Whitfield b 04 May 1901 Victoria
Sarah Blanche b 01 Jul 1903 Victoria

* Bible shows all but Lionnie born in Victoria, but William John
was born in Houlton, Maine. Also, note that she writes William John
(not John William as is found in some documents of my grandfather)
Mark Haywood was a brutal man at times, abusive to his children.
He kicked Will under the table & did the same to Edgar.
Jayne says Mark put Oscar out of the home when he was only
twelve years old, or 9 years according to another source. Oscar
would go home to see his mother when his father was not home.
He had a violent temper & got into a bad fight with a man who
lived down the lane.
Mark was driving from Woodstock with a wagon, had been drinking
& was racing with the horses & everything fell off. Next day people picked
up supplies for Mark - Mr. Christie Beckwith - chain unhooked
(something about Jim Bradley)
Ralph Shaw read that "Mark #2" had two sisters who went to Oregon.
Would be Jane & probably Betsy (Will understood Betsy went to
Washington State).
Mark was a great impersonator. He could mimic people. However, one
day while impersonating an individual, his face froze in the distorted
position & remained so for several minutes.

He married Jane May HAYWARD-HAYWOOD, daughter of Thomas
HAYWARD and "Sarah" or Sally LLOYD, 3 Sep 1881, in Houlton ME
(Aroostook County). Born, 18 May 1865, in Lansdowne NB. Died,
11 Mar 1941, in Victoria New Brunswick. Burial: Mar 1941, in Victoria NB.
Individual flags: *ANC.

According to Jane's children, her mother was Sarah Lloyd. Sarah died
when Jane was born in Lansdowne. Jane was brought up by her father's
brother, Melvin Hayward & his wife Hannah in Ashland. Note that this
is MELVIN Hayward, not MARVIN. 1851 Census, page 26, Melvin &
Thomas lived then with their parents, George & Miriam Hayward & others
of George & Miriam's family were Jarvis, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary & George.
Her father then went west, probably remarried but to whom? He
had a son. There was a large estate when Thomas died,
$75,000.oo, but Jane did not receive her inheritance. A relative in
Hartland ... said that he would look after her interests but she
did not receive any.
Jane wrote to her aunt, Mrs. Cecelia Lloyd, supposedly to
verify that her mother was Sarah Lloyd. Unfortunately, the reply
does not give her mother's name. One would have to have
Jane's original letter:

"April 10th (year not shown)
Dear Jane,
I just got your letter today. I know they were MARRIED HERE. I know
who married them. When your mother died your father's brother took you.
Melvin Hayward. Your Uncle Charley Lloyd may know; he is to Caribou.
(Etta's note: there was a Charles Lloyd who owned property in Psh. Kent,
Car. Co. 1861 census). I am sick I can hardly hold the pen.
Write to Thomas Rideout. He will know. He lives to Glassville. I
remember when they came home when they was married.
I think you was born about year afterwards. I am very sorry that I
never got your letter before.
From your aunt, Mrs. Cecelia Lloyd, Peel., Car. Co., N.B."
This letter says "they were married HERE, but Uncle Len thinks they
might have been married in Bridgewater, Maine. Leonard Haywood has their
marriage certificate:
"Aroostook SS Sept. 3, 1881 - This day come before me at Houlton in
said County Mark Haywood of Victoria Corner in the Province of New
Brunswick & Jannie Hayward of Ashland, New Brunswick & were
lawfully joined in marriage.
J. Burnham, Justice of the Peace."

Mark (2) Haywood built the house on Pucker Street, Victoria, in 1902 &
their last child, Sarah, was born there in 1903. (Named "Pucker Street"
because here were girls by name of Cox who primped & puckered - so
the story goes - just meant to add a bit of humour.)
Jane was a shy person, thrifty, was a lovely seamstress, hooked rugs,
she canned, pickled & preserved foods for the family, & even picked
wild berries & sold them to provide for her family. She spent her girlhood
in Ashland, & her married life in Victoria.
Mark died in 1914; her son Eric, a courier, was killed in the war; son
Edgar lied about his age, joined the army at age 15 & was overseas before
age 16, & his mother had him brought home as her husband was dead
& her sons Will & Len were also in the army.
Jane tried to commit suicide twice; she was found with her clothes,
in the well where she tried to drown herself during World War I when word
was received of her son Eric's death. This is the reason Rex stayed at
her home for quite some time.
Etta remembers going up to visit "Great-Grammie Haywood on the hill".
Etta's mother would be embarrased because Etta would no sooner get
there when she would say, "Mom, I'm hungry." What she wanted was
a piece of Great Grammie Jane Haywood's home made bread & butter.
Jane was terrified when a thundering & lightening storm arose. Len's
family would usually go to be with her at these times. Hazen remembers
going up during such a storm, knocking on the door, & a squeeky tiny
voice would ask, "Who's there?"
Nellie Chambers took care of Grammie Jane for some time until she died.
Etta remembers her & attending Grammie Jane's funeral.

Jane Hayward-Haywood's OBITUARY - The Observer

From Book of Remembrance - First World War

Eric, red haired worked at farming, woods work,
stream driver, worked for Fred Seeley haying; was quiet, had
his own camp in back woods & liked to go there alone. See
picture of Eric & Will Haywood with threshing outfit of
Hodgins & Wright, Pipestone, in Western Canada 1911.
In Woodstock library, Ketchem papers, reference pg 75
"Roll of Honour Eric Mark HAYWOOD"

Etta asked Alice Haywood-Ploom if she knew where Eric was
buried. She said that he was in the battle of the Somme, in
France. The battle started in early July, but dragged on all
summer & fall. If he was killed there then he probably is
buried in the Somme area.

Newspaper clipping, probably Hartland Observer:

"DRIVER ERIC HAYWOOD PAYS THE GREAT PRICE - Eloquent
Tribute to Brave, Young Soldier at Memorial Service - Among
the First to Leave Canada's Shores - Killed by Gas Shell
November 9th.
"Deeply regret to inform you that No. 41516 Driver
Eric Haywood, artillery, officially, reported killed in
action Nov.9th.
(Sgd) O.I.C. Records Officer"

Fateful words, but bringing the first authentic news
of her Soldier boy to a widowed mother - such a
message as all who have friends at the front must fortify
themselves against. See newspaper clippings (probably
Hartland Observer) his obituary & memorial service:"...among
first to leave Canada's shores with 10th Field Battery
(been told he went with first boat load) killed by gas shell
November 9th, 1916...was driver, artillery, No. C41516.

On Sunday afternoon, December 31st a memorial service
was held in Victoria Hall, crowded by those who had known
the young soldier as friend & chum, to show respect.
Rev. P. J. Trafton, Ref. Baptist, spoke with words
from 1st Corinthians, 15th Chapter as a basis for his remarks.

After eloquently dealing with thoughts engendered by the
words of his text, the speaker in referring to the subject
of the services said:

"Driver Eric Haywood was born here in Victoria some 24
years ago, grown to young manhood & to the date of his
enlistment, continued to live in his home town.

When war was declared & volunteers called for, he was
among the first to respond to enlisting in August 1914,
joined 10th Field Battery, sailed with first contingent in
November, 1914, & went to front in Feb., 1915. For a year &
nine months he was continuously in action. Recent letters
from his Captain & Chaplain speak very highly of the young
lad, laying particular stress on his utter indifference to
danger when duty called.

see sympathy from King & Queen & Prime Minister (Canada)
Eric was popular as a young lad among his playmates &
the same characteristics won for him great friendships among
his comrades in the trenches. He was hit by a gas shell when
riding to the rear at the close of a day's work.

A cross was placed at the head of his grave stating
his name & manner of his death...firing line somewhere in
France...over two years he was ever at his post taking more
than his share of hardships & dangers, ever cheerfully doing
his bit in this...he habitually wore a smile that never came
off, direct personal information has been lamentably
meagre...always reticent & undemonstrative, unimaginative &
unassuming, ever careful to disguise whatever of the good
or of the commendable may have been in his make up, by a
rough exterior, it is no surprise to his closest friends
that in reference to his later experiences as a soldier of
the King the same life long reserve has been maintained.

What little knowledge we have is through the officers
of his Battery & his chaplain. During the last few months of
uncertainty much speculation among his friends as to his
ultimate fate has been rife, & the opinion that is still
living his officers had at least one man who was doing his
duty regardless of dangers & hardships was a favourite &
oft repeated expression. That he was ever absolutely honest
& fearless was a foregone conclusion among his closest
friends & it was no small satisfaction, personally, to note
in the letters coming from the officers of his battery that
the outstanding comment was that the lad was absolutely
fearless, honest & dependable as the sun utterly regardless
of danger.

As a boy Eric was out of the ordinary. Starting out to
hustle for himself long before the average age he early
evinced a dogged determination to deserve a show & an
inhere disposition towards honesty & reliability that early
won the admiration & appreciation of those who came closely
in touch with him in those first years. These qualities were
ever present to the last knowledge of him & be the sum total
of the life what it...there was a streak of gold in the...
earth & perfect.

I have a handkerchief & other things I will send you.
He spoke of writing home just a few days before his death
but never got it done...Yours truly, W. J. Currie No. 41491,
8 Can. Battery B.E.F., 12th Brgde."

Rev. J. D. Wetmore spoke in eloquent unison with the
remarks preceding & referred in beautiful language to the
recent fatality in which this community is so sadly
concerned. By request of Pastor Trafton, Chas. M. Shaw, as a
life long friend, gave the following remarks in tribute to
the gallant boy who so recently met death while on duty.

"Throughout the length & breadth of our Canada the
bugle has sounded the battle cry & all through the great
country men were tingling responsive to the appeal of
loyalty. Among those who felt at the very first the not
unwelcome grip of the strong hand of patriotism, was the
young lad whose memory we are pleased to honor in these
services. "I am going to enlist", said Eric Haywood when a
call for volunteers was a possibility, & when this became a
certainty & recruiting offices were opened, the gallant
young subject of this sketch was among the first to
successfully face the recruiting officers, & was early
ranked among those who were the first to leave Canada's
shores to fight for the oppressed of Europe. In those days
events came in rapid succession, & soon along the firing
line somewhere in France the native daring, courage, &
initiative of the men who wore the magic word Canada on
their shoulders were alike recognized by friend & foe .

For over two years our hero was ever at his post taking more
than his share of hardships & dangers, if this were possible,
where all was hard & dangerous, ever cheerfully doing his
bit in the winning the laurels that have fallen to the
Canadian troops. I say cheerfully for Eric habitually wore a
smile that never came off. Direct personal information has
been lamentably meagre. Always reticent & undemonstrative,
unimaginative & unassuming, ever careful to disguise
whatever of the good or of the commendable may have been in
his make up, by a rough exterior..."

"Let us magnify his good qualities & minimize his
short comings. Let us forget his vices & remember his
virtues, for virtues he surely possessed."
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends."

"Far away on a sunny slope, somewhere in France,
That chosen home of chivalry; that garden of romance."
Lies a little mound guarded by a small white cross.

Friends you & I are interested in that little spot for
it holds all that is mortal of the sturdy lad who grew up
among us & marched away to war. To this lad has fallen the
sublime privilege of once again examplifying the Masters
portrayal of human love, & shall it be in vain, is there not
in this supreme sacrifice an incentive to better living,
better being & better doing, let us pause & think.

"Greater love hath no man - To Eric Mark Haywood - boy -
man - patriot & hero has come the distinction of
giving all that the greatest can give - his life for
humanity's sake.

Nephew Donald HAYWOOD remembers Eric carrying him on
his back, just before he went to war. Not married - no children.

Jane HAYWOOD-Helms

Jane HAYWOOD-Helms and Dody

Charlotte HELMS-RAUCH & her husband, Fred RAUCH, visited Etta, Don,
Violet, Steve & Elinor Haywood at Victoria in September, 1983, from Spokane,
Washington State.
Charlotte remembers being told of her grandmother, Jane HAYWOOD-HELMS -
that she had very dark brown eyes, very good sense of humour; she could
neither read nor write; she hooked beautifully designed rugs. See photo of
her.
Jane, Henry & children did live in vicinity of Victoria Corner during
early years; however, Will HAYWOOD had given address of the HELMS family as
"Bangor, Maine". On returning to Washington State, Charlotte was able to
confirm that Henry HELMS did indeed come from the Bangor, Maine area.
Charlotte feels that Henry HELMS was probably not too good a person, "just a
drifter". It is not known how they travelled from the East Coast to
Washington.
Again, Charlotte not able to identify Betsy. Jane & Henry HELMS are
buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Spokane, Washington. Jane died of a stroke in
her 50's.
20 April 1983 - Len HAYWOOD says Henry HELMS was with Salvation Army
in Victoria Corner. He has photo which is supposed to be of Jane & Henry &
daughter, but Charlotte says her father did not have any sisters & this is
confirmed in their family bible.
Jane & Henry were married 10 Dec. 1875 by Rev. John Perry, Free
Baptist Minister, in presence of Alonzo Brewer.
The 1871 census, Psh Brighton, Carleton County, New Brunswick: HELMS,
John 34, born in NB, Dutch; Sarah 29 Scottish; Gerhsine 14 born NB; John 12;
Jane 10; Naomie 7; Mary 2.
She married William "Henry" Helms, 10 Dec 1875. Born, 13 Feb 1855.
Burial in Spokane WA. Occupation: labourer. Children:

i. George[4]. Born, 16 Oct 1876, in Hartland New Brunswick. Occupation:
labourer. He married Maude Mulock.
George & Maude (MULOCK) lived in Spokane, Washington
13 ii. Frank A.
iii. Clifford B. Born, 30 Apr 1882, in Victoria New Brunswick. Died, 31 Aug

5. Adelia #530[3] HAYWOOD-LOUPIN (Mark#1 Sr, 2). Born, 1861, in Victoria
New Brunswick. Died, after 1892 (?).
HAYWOOD Adeila & John Loupin lived in Hartland. In 1871 census of
Carleton County New Brunswick she was living in household of her father,
Mark Haywood, & was 10 years old at the time, Baptist, English.
See newspaper photo taken in 1892 "John & Mrs. Lupin (1st wife)...
Her name was Adelia per funeral notice of her son's death, Robert E.
Loupin.
If Adelia's husband, John E. Loupin, married a 2nd time to a woman
named Elizabeth, & if Adelia died after picture of 1892 but before 1896 when
John & Elizabeth's son, Roy, was born, then perhaps it was Adelia's
daughter, Jessie & her husband David Harvey that they had visited because
the dates would not be correct. Adelia was born 1861. Jessie was born 1885.
Don Haywood born 1911. Don told Etta there was some connection to the
Harvey's.

She married John Edward 546 LOUPIN, 23 Mar 1881. Born, 8 Feb 1846.
