WILLIAM E. HANING

  William Ernest Haning, aged 51 years, 11 months and 5 days, died at his home 
near Springs, August 12, from a malignant tumor from which he had been a 
sufferer for two years.  An operation in the Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, 
in May, proved unsuccessful.
  He was a son of Adolph and Louise Stiepher Haning, both of Saxony, Germany, 
and was born September 7, 1879.  He was married October 16, 1904, to Miss Amanda 
Slaubaugh, and is survived by her and their four sons, Norman, of Glen Rock, 
Pa.; Ray, of Belle Center, O.; Paul and Samuel, and one daughter, Alta, at home; 
also by two sisters, Mrs. Ed Detweiler, of Wellman, Iowa, and Mrs. Theodore 
Johnson, of Cumberland, Md., and a half-brother, Lewis Eichorn, of Clarence, 
N.Y.
  Mr. Haning attended the public schools of Somerset County, Pa., and also 
normal school.  He taught in Somerset County, Pa., and Garrett County, Md., for 
several years.  For nine years he was employed by the U.S. Government as a rural 
mail carrier on Route No. 1, Elk Lick (now Salisbury) Pa.  He later purchased 
the D. W. Maust farm and engaged in farming until his health failed.
  The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Springs Mennonite 
Church which was crowded to capacity, as he was widely known and highly 
respected.  Rev. S. G. Shetler of Johnstown and Bishop J. A. Ressler of 
Scottdale, Pa., officiated.  The pallbearers were Rev. G. D. Miller, Rev. Roy 
Otto, Rev. M. B. Miller, Rev. Robert Dayton, and Deacons Myron Livengood and 
Jacob Kinsinger.  Interment was made in the Springs Cemetery.
