Read More	Son of Nancy VanBibber and Moses Haney He married Melissa J. Claypool May 20, 1856, daughter of Jesse Claypool and Matilda Stringfield. Brother Haney was a very religious character. Early in life he gave himself to God and joined the Baptist church. Young Haney had learned the art of brick moulding and when he began life's voyage for himself, his attention was drawn to the young and prosperous town of Keosauqua. To this place he came fifty-five years ago and the intervening years have been spent between this city and Pittsburg, as his home. In youth and middle age the subject of this sketch was a powerful man, a hard worker, an honest citizen, an obliging neighbor, a true parent and a devoted husband. As age crept on his devotion seemed to grow. The affliction of his wife endeared her to him. He was never too tired or ill to think of some kindness and extend some service which only love and patience could invent. Surname: Haney, Claypool, McGaffey, Brown, Pilote, Corrick, Van Bibber The second of the twelve children born to Moses and Nancy (Van Bibber) Haney, was born near Louisville, Ky., April the 30th, 1830, and passed away from the scenes of earth at the home of his son-in-law, Mr Charles McGaffey, November 18, 1910, having survived the long lapse of 80 years, 6 months and 13 days. When but a child, nine years old, his parents moved to Arlington, Ohio. Here the happy days of youth were spent and in the full vigor of young manhood Mr. Haney accompanied his father, who brought his family to the pioneer land of Van Buren county and lived with him near Troy, Iowa. Young Haney had learned the art of brick moulding and when he began life's voyage for himself, his attention was drawn to the young and prosperous town of Keosauqua. To this place he came fifty-five years ago and the intervening years have been spent between this city and Pittsburg, as his home. Following his duties at Keosauqua our friend met and loved Miss Melissa Claypool sho reciprocated his affection and became his bride, at her home, May 20th., 1856. Five gifted daughters and five stalwart sons graced their home. All of them reaching maturity and all save one, Mrs. Carrie Brown, remain to experience the sorrow of the father's going and to comfort the heart of the mourning mother, who in her loneliness weeps uncomplainingly, realizing as she expressed to this writer of this sketch, that the seperation will not be long. They are Mesdames Mary Pilote and Ollie McGaffey, of Pittsburg; Jessie McGaffey, Keosauqua; Maggie Corrick, Centerville and William, Cantril; Frank, Washington; Charles, Keosauqua; George, Milton and Oscar, Pittsburg. Brother Haney was a very religious character. Early in life he gave himself to God and joined the Baptist church. On coming th this locality and finding no church of his choice, his devotion to the Master's work, forced him to ally himself with some body of Christians and he joined the Methodist Episcopal church in Pittsburg, Iowa, to which communion, both he and his devoted wife were most true, so much so, that for years the worshiping throng might know that there was something out of the usual occurring at the Haney home did not the church bell attract them to their accustomed places. In youth and middle age the subject of this sketch was a poweful man, a hard worker, an honest citizen, an obliging neighbor, a true parent and a devoted husband. As age crept on his devotion seemed to grow. The affliction of his wife endeared her to him. He was never too tired or ill to think of some kindness and extend some service which only love and patience could invent. About a week before the end Mr. Haney had been feeling quite poorly but had revived and on the day of his death had been exceptionally well. He ate his meals regularly was very cheerful and enjoyed his usual pleasures with more than accustomed relish. He retired early and about 10 o'clock called for some attention. At that time the approach of the end was discovered and before the family were fully aroused to his need, or a physician could be called, his spirit had winged its way to where the angels sing and traversed the bourne whence no traveler returns. Besides the loved ones mentioned Brother Haney leaves many other relatives and a host of friends who mourn his departure. For the suffering ones I hereby extend their thanks to those who have assisted them in this sad hour and given solace by their sympathy and prayers. The funeral service was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McGaffey. A short memorial service at the Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal church and the remains were placed to rest in the Pittsburg cemetery, Nov. 15th, 1910. C. A. Field, Officiating Minister Stateline Democrat 24 Nov 1910
