Born on April 17, 1911 in Madison, Jake Sam Haynes, Sr. started what turned out to be a very great and wise life, according to his grandson, Anthony Curtis Haynes, Sr.
“He, along with my grandmother, Mamie Lee Haynes, raised five of us grandchildren, three in Madison,” said Anthony Curtis Haynes. “Grandpa always wanted us to do the very best in all we did in life, and when we would call home, he would always make sure that we were doing our best in whatever we were doing. I just cannot tell you of the love Grandpa showed us along the way, when we were growing up in Madison.”
Addressing his grandfather directly, Anthony Curtis said, Granddaddy, I just wat you to have a very happy 100th birthday. I love you and I hope I shared some happiness with you.”
