HISTORY OF FANNIN COUNTY, TEXAS; History-Biographies-Business Cards. Reprinted from an 1885 Original Book by W. A. Carter & Judge J. P. Simpson; Newhouse Publications
p.72 The First National Bank of Bonham, the second bank of this city was incorporated in December 1883, and opened business in January 1884, with a paid up capital of $60,000 under the control and business management of a Board of Directors and officers, consisting of W. A. Nunnelle, President, M. W. Halsell, Vice President, A. B. Scarborough, Cashier, C. W. T. Weldon, of Ladonia, John A Barnard, Smith Lipscomb, and J. W. HADEN. The institution is doing a thriving business, the careful and safe manner of which inspires confidence in every one with whom it transacts any business. The present management consist of the same gentlemen under whose control the bank was first opened.

There was a fire in Ladonia on 1 Oct 1896. It killed three people - Mrs. Jane Knapp and her niece and nephew, Carrie & Jimmie McFarland - and destroyed one side of the Ladonia square. The paper lists the losses and insurance coverage: J. C. Haden, groceries, loss $3000, insurance $1200; then later lists J. W. Haden, damage to building $1500, fully covered. Since the brother James C. Haden did not live in Fannin Co, the first listing was likely a typo - probably J. B. Haden [Joseph B.] was correct. I believe J. B. owned the lot; his brother ran the grocery.
I believe that Mrs. Jane Knapp, was nee Eliza Jane Smith,born 1841 in Kentucky, who had married a Knapp. Her sister, and mother of the children who died, was likely Cretia Lemira Smith, born 1842, who married Abel McFarland, 18 Oct 1866, Hopkins Co, TX, who was apparently unrelated to the other McFarlands who had lived in Fannin Co for sometime. The town had taken up donations for Mrs. McFarland.

Recollections of Ladonia: The Town and Its People, compiled by Muriel Champion Burleson, 1991, p.21-22, has this to say about the town and the fire. "There was a frame builing on the Haden lot in which there was J. C. Haden Grocery Co.... A fire in 1896 started in the City Hotel and burned everything from there to J. B. Haden's place on the West side."

1900 Census - John, "Capitalist", and Mary and Dewitt. Also a niece, Alice Jones is living with them. This would be the daughter of John's deceased sister Virginia.

1910 Census - John W. Hayden, living in the Alexander Hotel on the south side of the Public Square with wife Mary. They stated they had been married 25 years (it was actually 40) His place of birth, and his parents, given as Arkansas. I don't believe either of the Hadens gave the information to the Census taker.
