Josiah Haynes Elementary School

One of four Sudbury elementary schools (kindergarten - 5th grade).

Deacon Josiah Haynes, although approaching 80 years, marched to Concord with his company of Militia on April 19, 1775. Despite his age, he had so much energy and patriotism that he joined the pursuit of the retreating enemy. He was killed by the British while nearing Lexington.

His gravestone reads "In memory of Deacon Josiah Haynes who died in Freedom's cause ye 19th day of April 1775; in the 79th year of his Age." He was born in 1696.
