He had gone to Red Oak on business and apparently became ill, but upon reaching the doctor's office, he immediately slumped in a chair, and was dead.

He leaves also two sisters, Mrs. Maggie Horton of Glenwood and Mrs. I.O. Hunt of Old Shasta, Calif.,and five brothers, J.R. Haney of Cannon Ball, N.D., Alva of Homedale, Idaho, Charles E. of Hollywood, Calif., Will of Kuna, Idaho and Wallace of Tabor.

Mr. Haney, who was always a civic leader, was an ex-mayor of Glenwood and had served two terms in the Iowa legislature as the representative of Mills county. At the time of his death, he was president of the Mills County Building & Loan Association, past president and director of the Glenwood Chamber of Commerce, a member of the official board of the Methodist church and an active participant in politics and Masonic affairs.

His body was brought to the Myers-James Funeral home in this city where it will lie in state until the hour of the funeral service which will be held in the Glenwood Methodist church Friday afternoon at 2:30 o:clock.
