Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

O. J. HANEY, the subject of this brief sketch, is a native of Ireland, where he
was born in 1814. In 1840 he shipped for America, and after arrival in this land
of freedom and plenty, he located in Wisconsin, where he resided for about
twenty-two years. prior to his settlement in Wisconsin he had traveled
extensively in the United States, and so finally resolved to seek in the mild
climate of California the comfort during winter that Wisconsin does not afford;
so in 1875 he made the trip, and, since his arrival in the State, has been the
keeper of the courthouse grounds of Monterey county. This work he is well able
to perform, as he was reared on a farm and has always engaged in agricultural
pursuits.

  In 1849 our subject was married to Miss Henrietta Luce, who bore him one son,
Edward. Mr. Haney has always been very industrious, and his energy and thrift
have won for him a competency. He now has a comfortable home in Salinas, where
his sociability and strict integrity have made him many friends.
