Loved Ones Who Have Departed

The Grim Reaper Lays His Hand Upon Many in This Community During Week

William Madison Haney

W. M. Haney, who had been sick a few weeks, passed away Saturday, February 7,
1920, and in his passing the city has lost a familiar face and a splendid man.

William Madison Haney, was born in New Jersey on June 10, 1842, and was at the
time of his death over 77 years of age. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Haney, and spent his earlier days in New Jersey; he moved to Illinois in his
early manhood and spent several years on a farm. When the Civil War came he
enlisted as a Private on November 2, 1861, in Company E, 46th Illinois
Volunteers. He was promoted to First Lieutenant on November 24, 1864, and was
mustered out, January 20, 1866.

He was united in marriage October 2, 1867, to Elizabeth Anna Holland at
Sterling, Illinois, and to this union were born three children: Mrs. H. H. Asal
and Mrs. J. T. LaFond of Boise, Idaho, and James W. of this city. He moved to
Bellevue before coming to this city and was for many years engaged in the
creamery business in that city. He also served as postmaster at that place
during President Harrison’s Administration, serving four years. Later he was
elected County Clerk, serving two terms and moved to Maquoketa, where he has
lived ever since. For a year or so he has been filling the position of city
weighmaster, serving as such at the time he was taken sick. 

Funeral services will be held from the home this afternoon at 2:00, the Masonic
Lodge, of which he was a member, having full charge, and interment will take
place at Mt. Hope cemetery
