Haag, of Grangeville, who has lived in the county for over fifty years and taken a leading and influential part in many important activities. His particular hobby has been the Hanford High School, on the Board of which he has served since 1913, being by far its oldest member. When he was first elected, the school only had about 175 students, now there are over 1000. The present high school set-up, with its splendid teaching personnel, and beautiful buildings and grounds, is due in no small measure to Mr. Haag's leadership. In honor of his many years of ardent work for the high school, Haag Hall was named for him. It was Mr. Haag who was largely instrumental in Hanford acquiring the old high school property for Lacey Park, which is one of the city's beauty spots. Apart from the high school, Mr. Haag has had numerous other important interests. For years he was a director of the Farm Bureau, and he was also formerly a director of the Kings County Packing Company, and he has served on the Advisory Board of the local branch of the Security-First National Bank. He is now, and has been for a long time past, a director of the Last Chance Ditch Company. Mr. Haag is a native of Ohio, having been born about thirty miles north of the City of Cincinnati on January 7, 1868, son of Leonard George and Barbara Haag. He attended school in his native state, but left when he was only thirteen years old. It was February, 1890, that he came to Hanford. He commenced work for the late William Davenport, whose family he knew back in Ohio. Subsequently he was employed by John Chambers on his ranch west of Grangeville, and for several years following rented the place from Mr. Chambers. For the past forty years he has engaged in agricultural pursuits on his own, and has lived on three different ranches. His present place consists of 100 Acres located a mile north of the Grangeville store. He is a successful grower of alfalfa, peaches and grapes. In his own community he has been interested in school work, as prior to becoming a member of the Hanford High School Board, he served for two terms on the official board of the Grangeville Grammer School. In 1899 Mr. Haag married Miss Effie Broderick, daughter of a pioneer family. She is deceased. They had two children, Mrs. Dorris Haag Clark, and Leonard Finley Haag, who is superintendent of a 5000-acre ranch at Blythe, California. History Of Kings County By Robert Brown, 1940
