In a phone conversation with Melinda McLemore Strong, Nan McCoy Kittel, the second great grandaughter of Sarah Hester Haynes (wife of Elmer Augustus Horn) noted that Sarah Hester Haynes (Nan's ancestor) was sometimes mixed up with her Aunt, Sarah Elizabeth Haynes, the wife of William Rufus Hester. In fact her middle name was a tribute to her Aunt's husband.

Biographical information, below, copied from her FindAGrave memorial page, created by Patsy Bennett Miller. There are also links on her page to her parents, William Edward Haynes and Lula Belle Scott.
Verda was born to William Edward & Lula Belle Haynes.
She married Roy Oscar Bennett in 1936.
She was a loving mother to her 4 boys and a doting grandmother to 8 grandchildren, and many great grandchildren. She loved the Lord and was faithful to meet with God's people every Sunday & Wednesday night. She read her Bible daily and prayed for her family and friends by name. She wrote poetry and kept journals of how God worked in her life. Sometimes the poems would be about the Pastors sermon, she'd just heard. She loved her husband, Roy and treated him like a king. Up until her dying days she still wanted to do things for herself, even in pain.
She was a godly woman and is missed daily by this grandaughter.

As a lifelong resident of the Roseville and Rocklin area, Uno Jacob Hebuck was especially suited to document the history of pioneer families of Placer County. Hebuck was born on September 27, 1897 in Roseville, California. His parents were born in Finland, father Henry A. in 1869 and mother Sofia Haaga in 1871. The couple moved to 501 Tahoe Avenue, Roseville in 1889 and Henry worked in Rocklin as a blacksmith for a granite quarry. The family soon grew with the addition of eleven children, three of whom died. By 1907 the Hebuck children included Lewis, Sulo, Henry R., Lempi, Uno, Marie, Harvey, and Elvira.

When they were first married, Charlie and Beckie farmed near Hornersville. They later moved to Kansas City, where Charlie worked for the Santa Fe railroad. He was severly injured at work, and had to use crutches for many years. He used the settlement to purchase the farm in Hornersville. After his health improved, he was able to raise cotton, corn and soy. They eventually purchased some additional farmland near the Arkansas-Missouri state line, in Arybird, Missouri.
This is appears to be his record on the Texas Death Index, incorrectly showing him as a Female. This is understandable based on his unusual first name.
Hedrick Jewel 11-22-1970 NUECES F WIDOWED
And here is the record on the SSDI:
JEWEL HEDRICK 13 Feb 1898 Nov 1970 78408 (Corpus Christi, Nueces, TX ) (none specified) 464-38-9111 Texas
It has not been confirmed that the records above are for the same Jewel Thomas Hedrick that married Clara Belle Gaines.
After divorcing Clara Gaines, it is possible that Jewel Hedrick remarried, and was living in Kiowa, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, listed as being age 22. His wife, also age 22, was named Effie, and they had a 2 month old son, Junior. Also living with Jewel and his second wife were his parents, Frank and Mary Hedrick of Tennessee. At the time of the 1920 census, Frank and Mollie Hedrick can be found in Damon Twp, Latimer County, Oklahoma, along with three children, Larante, Olie and Jewel. That census listing, however, shows Jewel as born ca 1908 instead of 1898. This may have been simply an error in the transcription, but should be resolved. It is also possible there were two Jewel Hedrick's.
Melba Gene McLemore shows him as a son of James HEFLIN and Nancy THURMOND. She shows him as marrying second Keziah TUCKER.
She references multiple land transactions of Milton's in the 1850's and 1860's with the Little Rock land office, and also indicates that he was on the 1850 Slave Schedule as a slave holder.
At the time of the 1850 and 1860 Census, he was living in Drew County, Arkansas with his first wife, Vernetta Jane McLEMORE.
Not located on the 1870 Census.
In 1880, his second wife, widowed, was living with their son in the Cane Creek Township of Lincoln County, Arkansas.
Melba indicates that he was buried on the old HEFLIN farm in Star City, Arkansas.

Helen J. Havel was born to Jaroslav and Anezka Hendrych on Oct. 16, 1921 on a farm northwest of Milligan and passed away Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at her home at the age of 92.
Helen attended public school at Milligan, graduating in 1938 with a Normal Training Certificate. She taught in rural schools for four years, one year with a special permit due to the shortage of teachers during WWII.
Helen married Donald Havel on Dec, 31, 1945 in Wilber, making their home in Milligan. They had one daughter, Norene Kay born April 21, 1955. Don passed away April 27, 2000.
The family moved to Exeter in 1958 and back to Milligan in 1986. Helen worked many different jobs in her lifetime in addition to teaching; in drug and grocery stores, at a produce station and as a nanny in Lincoln before and after marriage. While living in Exeter Helen worked at Barkmeier's part and full time for over 25 years. She concluded her "work life" at Heritage Crossings in Geneva from July 1993 to 2002 and retired at age 80.
Helen was a charter member of the Friend Hospital Auxiliary and 8/40 Bleu Valle Salon #766. She held Unit, County and District 11 offices in the American Legion Auxiliary of which she was a member for 68 years and a member of the W.B.L.A. for over 75 years.

He also worked for Laun Implement and Repair and farmed northwest of Milligan.

After Libbie's death, he married Lillian ONDRACEK SHUTTS, and they lived in Friend, Nebraska. (Milligan, p 299).
This appears to be Jerry, as listed on the SSDI:
JERRY A HENDRYCH 19 Sep 1911 28 Oct 1991 (not specified) (none specified) 505-16-1214 Nebraska
This is most likely the listing of his second wife:

She was married first to a Birdwell, and was later the second wife of Joseph Fuller. They had two children together, and sadly Blanche died of tuberculosis some five years after her second marriage. Her stepsons, Price and Brooks, died of this as well. Her step-daughter, Ethel was also infected, and was confined to a tuberculosis santitarium in the Dallas area as a young woman. Ethel survived, however, living into her eighties.
One of these listings on the SSDI and Texas Death Indexes at rootsweb might be for him, assuming he was named Joseph after his father, but went by his middle name of Arlis:
