Hi YeoldeScribe, A partial answer for you which you get as a comment since I can't provide an exact location. Hynes was part of Monroe County, Iowa, but doesn't appear to be in existence anymore. The last reference I could find to it still physically existing was an obituary listing from 1910. See... http://iagenweb.org/state/places/monroe.htm and... http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:MP7ENWyHResC:homepages.rootsweb.com/~pierces/about/mam.html+%22Hynes+Monroe+County%22+IA&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Instead of the Historical Society of Iowa's web site, which is, http://www.iowahistory.org/ ... and email at helpdesk@its.state.ia.us I'd personally try the Iowa Genalogical Society's Resource Center at... http://gallery.bcentral.com/Gallery/ProductListing.aspx?GID=4689280&Dept=104055 I suspect the $15.00 research fee would garner the info you want. Best of luck! rico |

1 3/4 miles SE of Avery, IA
From: ulu-ga on 08 Aug 2002 10:51 PDT |
From "History of Monroe County Iowa" by Frank Hickenlooper 1896. "Avery was established in 1868 when the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway was put through and is 5-6 miles east of Albia. In the vicinity of Avery are the Chisholm Mines which are now about worked out." "Hynes City lies 1 3/4 miles southeast of Avery. The locality is also known as "Smoky Hollow." It was named after the superintendent of the mine, Faley Hynes. It had a population of 250-300 people http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/localities.northam.usa.states.iowa.counties.monroe/1088.3 Monroe County Historical Society 114 A Ave E Albia, IA 52531 (515) 932-7046 http://genforum.genealogy.com/ia/monroe/ Patrick H. Hynes submitted by Dick Barton Patrick H. Hynes is one of the younger yet prominent representatives of commercial interests in Monroe county. He is now secretary of the Smoky Hollow Coal Company, of Avery, and secretary and manager of the Avery Supply Company. He was born April 14, 1865, in Boylesville, Champaign county, Ohio, and is of Irish lineage, his parents, Patrick and Mary (Short) Hynes, having been natives of the Emerald Isle. In that country they were married, and on crossing the briny deep to the New World took up their residence in Ohio, where they followed farming. In 1870 they became residents of Iowa, and the father carried on agricultural pursuits near Keokuk until his death, which occurred in 1871. His wife survived him for many years, and passed away in Avery, in September, 1890. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Hynes numbered four children: Patrick H., of this review; Faley, who is now superintendent of the Smoky Hollow Coal Company, and married Miss Emma Pettit, by whom he had two children, William and John; Maggie, wife of Andrew Butler, by whom she has one son, John; and John, deceased. The surviving members of this family are all residents of Avery. Mr. Hynes of this review was reared to manhood in his parents' home, and attended school in Beacon. Subsequently he engaged in Elliott's Business College, of Burlington, that he might fit himself for life's practical duties. He began his business career as a carpenter and coal miner, and carried on work in those lines until his election as secretary of the Smoky Hollow Coal Company, of Avery. He thoroughly understands the business in all its details, and is therefore capable of directing others. He embodies the spirit of the times in his enterprising, progressive business methods, is a popular young man, highly esteemed both in business and social circles, and he has many friends in this locality. http://www.rootsweb.com/~iabiog/iastbios/mbr1896/mbr1896-h.htm |

If Hynes was 1.5 miles southeast of Avery, Monroe County, it would have been in Mantua Township. See (http://www.iamonroe.org/township.html). |

Topo Map
From: ulu-ga on 08 Aug 2002 11:58 PDT |
This is a topographica map of the area. I'm guessing the strip mine is the Chisholm Mines. The town was probably in this valley ("Smoky Hollow"). There are several buildings marked on the map in that area. The large red numbers are the section numbers for Mantua township, so it was probably in section 10. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=15&n=4544832&e=525932&s=25&size=m |

Hynes vs. Smoky Hollow
From: ulu-ga on 14 Aug 2002 06:38 PDT |
Finding this conflicting information for Smoky Hollow, perhaps you should contact the Monroe County Historical Society at 515-932-7046 to be certain. There are other Smoky Hollows, but I don't think they are where Hynes was (near Avery). http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnisprod?f_name=smoky+hollow&variant=Y&f_state=Iowa&f_cnty=&f_ty=&elev1=&elev2=&cell=&pop1=&pop2=&my_function=Send+Query&last_name=&last_state=&last_cnty=&page_cnt=&record_cnt=&tab=Y http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form A century ago, my grandfather, Faley Hynes, was mining coal in Albia, Iowa. http://www.snc.edu/president/speech_3312000.htm Max Cooper was born in 1915 in Smoky Hollow, Iowa http://ionanet.com/max/ He worked for the Smoky Hollow Coal Co., for 35 years. http://obits.com/hendersontom.html Mr. David Wesley Wignall, Sr., 77, of Glen St. Mary, Fla., passed away Sunday, October 28, 2001.
