Joseph Forest Haws

William Wallace and Martha Barrett Haws's third child was Joseph Forest Haws (my great-great grandfather). He was born on 19 December 1882 while the family settled in Arizona. He grew up in Mexico and married his wife, Mary Francis Bowler, on Christmas day in 1909 in Chihuahua. Together, they had nine children, all born between Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and Utah.

In these censuses, Joseph Forest Haws stays in Utah. They give record of Joseph and Mary's children: Ruth, Joseph, Ervin, John, Lilian, Erma, Grant, and Lorin. It seems that this family migrated back to American between the time Ruth and Joseph were born (1910 and 1912). They eventually made it back to Utah, where Joseph Forest and his wife Mary stayed until they passed away. They are both now buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery in Utah.
