Summary
In December 1983, St. James Township unanimously named the unnamed street in front of Beaver Island Christian Church, running from Back Highway to Pine Street, Haynes Street. The church board requested the honor for the late Dr. Harley Haynes, citing his contributions to founding the church.
The minutes establish the naming decision and endpoints, but not a surveyed alignment, sign installation, or current mapped road feature.
Open questions
- Is Haynes Street still in use, and is it represented by a current mapped way?
- Can the township naming resolution or road sign inventory be located?
- What biographical record documents Dr. Harley Haynes’s role in the church?
