    Robert and Mary Ann are on the left, Robert's sister Jane and her husband Robert Ritchie are on the right. We're not sure whose children are in the photo.

    The photo is from sometime in the 1870s, and is taken on the site of the Hastings centennial farm, just off US23, and a half mile or so north of Alcona Rd. For reference, the Mt. Joy Cemetery is on the NE corner of US23 and Alcona Rd. Bill Hastings, who lives on the original Hastings land, still has some beams from the barn that used to stand behind this cabin. The barn came down in the 1930s.

    Another Pioneer Gone
    Robert Hasty, who has lived in Alcona Township, this county, for 15 years or more, departed this life last Friday evening; heart disease being the pronounced cause of his death. He had the week previous been over in Canada purchasing a lot of working horses, to be used in the lumber woods the coming winter, and returning home on Friday or Saturday of said week, he was taken ill. The Monday following he was able to be about the house again and remained up for several days. He was subsequently taken suddenly ill, and passed away within a few hours. He was over sixty years of age.
    Robert Hastey came to this country and commenced carving out a home for himself in our forests, when neighbors were few and far between; but he lived to develop a good farm himself, and see the country all about thickly settled with others whose clearings and agricultural developments are the admiration of all who visit the county. Mr Hastey devoted much of his time the past few years to jobbing in the lumber woods for Alger, Smith & Co., and his recent purchase of additional horses was for the enlargement of his operations in that line of work. He leaves a wife and seven or eight children. Most of the children are grown to manhood and womanhood.
