HAIST, George F.
===========================================================================
George F. Haist, farmer, sec. 8,  Deerfield Tp., was born June 12, 1844, in
Canada. He is a son of John and Christine (Stengel) Haist, natives of
Germany, who came to Canada in '31. Mr. Haist, senior, came with his family
to Newaygo County, Mich., in '53, and after a residence there of seven
years removed to this county and pre-empted 80 acres of land. This property
he deeded in '73 to his son, retaining a life lease for himself and wife.

The subject of this sketch has spent his life thus far with his parents,
making the paternal interests his own and has proved himself a faithful and
devoted son. He is a Republican and has been elected several times as
Constable; he is at present School Assessor. He was married in Morley, July
4, '78, to Kate, daughter of Isaac and Catherine (Cole) Osborn. They have
one child -- Nelson Frederick, born Jan. 31, '81.
