JOHN W. HAIRE, miner. The subject of this sketch is a native of Cedar county. Mo., born June 20, 1848, and is the son of J. E. and E. C. Haire, both natives of Virginia, who came to this state in 1839, and settled in Cedar county. Both are now dead. John was educated in Dade and Pettis counties, attending the Sedalia High School from 1865 to 1870. After leaving school he clerked for four years, and then came to Webb City and engaged in mining. He has seen the city in the worst times and in its best, and believes firmly in its future prosperity. He is interested with other parties in several mining lots, on each of which is a paying prospect. In politics he is a Republican, and in his religious views liberal.
