The informant on his death is George Haws of Marsville.  The cause of death is listed as sinility, artero sclerosis with a gradual duration but the immediate case was a cerebral Hemmorage.

His obituary was in the Tuesday Mar. 12, 1912 edition of the Hillsburg Beaver, it reads:  Last Thursday morning East Garafraxa lost one of her earliest pioneers when the hand of death was laid on Horace Haws, which took place at his home, Lot 7, con. 11, on that day.  The deceased was born in Suffolkshire, England in the year 1830, in which year William IV ascended the British throne, and had the distinction of having lived through the entire reigns of three of England's sovereigns and into that of a fourth, during his long life.  At the age of one year and a half his parents with the family decided to seek their fourtunes in Canada, as a land of promise and after the usual hardships of a long sea voyage of those days and the penetration into a new country, they settled in Toronto township, where they remained for some time before going to East Garafraxa, where the head of the family settled on Lot 8 in concession 11.  At an early age Mr. Haws was married to Anne Redman and the farm adjoining his father's became their home, where all the years of their married life was spent.  He saw all the hardships incident to a pioneer's life in the early days of this section.  He was of a sturdy, honest stock: upright in all his dealings and held in more than ordinary esteem and respect by his friends and neighbors.   His whole life was given to the care and welfare of his family in what he conscidered the making of good cisizen (the actual spelling)-more to the advantage of his country than serving in more public places.  Until the twenty-third of last month, when Mrs. Haws died, the family circle consisting of six sons and four daughters remained unbroken.  Following are the members left to mourn their loss:-Daniel, William and George of East Garafraxa, Martin, of Dryden, Holly, of Durham, Allison of Meaford, Mrs. Geo. Simpson, Mrs. R. Nodwell, Mrs. W. E. Nodwell and sisters, Mrs Bennington of near Shelburne and Mrs. Donald Gear of Grand Valley and Zeke Haws of Portland, Ore, a brother , are those still alive of his father's family.
