He married Eliza Snow, daughter of James C, Snow, and was set apart for a mission to England April 22, 1871. On his arrival in Liverpool May 22nd, he was assigned to the Manchester conference, where he labored faithfully and well until the departure of Elder Thomas G. Woolley, when he was appointed to succeed him in the presidency of the Sheffield conference. "In this capacity he continued his labors of love until called by our Heavenly Father to a holier abode." He was stricken down by small-pox, and after a brief sickness died Nov. 20, 1871. Elder Haws was beloved by all because of his kindness, modesty and other virtues, characteristic of the true Latter-day Saint.Source:
