   HENRY H. McHALEY, one of the well-known citizens of Greene County, is a
native of Beech Creek Township, where he now lives. He was born January 24,
1841, one of seven children of William and Lucinda K. (Rice) McHaley, who
settled in Greene County at an early date. Henry H. McHaley received but a
limited education and in the log cabin schools of early days. His principal
business through life has been farming, although he has engaged considerably in
mercantile affairs. From 1869 to 1873, he did a general merchandise trade at
McVille, and a short time at Newark, Ind., but his health failing, he quit that
and paid his exclusive attention to farming. On December 16, 1858, his marriage
with Letitia Hudson was solemnized, and to this union five children have been
born—Oliver S., Lucinda C, Mary A., William H. and John A., all living. Mr.
McHaley began life for himself with no property, and has been fortunate enough
to acquire 157 acres of well-improved farming land. As a Republican, he was
elected Justice of the Peace for his township in 1872, and has held that office
ever since. In December, 1881, he was appointed Postmaster, at McVille, Ind.,
which position he now holds. In December, 1883, he again commenced doing a
general merchandise business, with a stock of $1,200, and is having a good
trade. Mr. and Mrs. McHaley are members of the Christian Church, and are
prominent in the charities of their neighborhood. Mr. McHaley is a member of the
fraternity of I. O. O. F., which order he has represented in Grand Lodge.
