EDWARD HANEY, 89, Died Here Sunday

Edward Haney, one of Madison county's oldest citizens, died here Sunday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. R. Tompkins, with whom he had made his home in recent years. He was 89 years of age.

Mr. Haney was born at Hanover, near Boston, Mass., on April 7, 1853. Left an orphan at the age of 8 years, he and a younger brother were reared in the home of an uncle, and were trained in the Catholic faith.

As a young boy he worked in a shoe factory, and at the age of 17 years he came to Iowa and settled on a farm in Montgomery county, near Red Oak, when that country was mostly an unsettled prairie.

He was married to Cora E. Chickering on Sept. 10, 1879. They moved to Madison county in 1906, farming here until 1916 when they moved to Winterset. Mrs. Haney died on June 5, 1936.

Mr. Haney united with the Frankfort Methodist church near Red Oak in 1890. After moving to Madison county, he transferred his membership to the West Star Methodist Church, and in 1916 to the Winterset Methodist church. Here for many years he taught in the men's Bible class and in the Sunday school.

He is survived by one son and three daughters: Mrs. Harriett Tompkins of Winterset, Mrs. Margaret May Tompkins of Ft. Madison, Dennis E. Haney of Patterson and Mrs. Florence Haupt of Rowan; as well as 13 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday from the Winterset Methodist church, in charge of the pastor, the Rev. Walter Samp, and the Rev. Tom Fogleson, pastor of the Winterset Church of Christ. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
