The HANEY side

HANEY = My grandfather told me that the Haney's came from Ireland, possibly during the Potato Famine. He never went into anymore detail than that. So far I can only go back 3 generations. Here they are:

(1) Joseph HANEY B: ???? Missouri D: ???? M: Mary Elizabeth WILLIAM (She was his third wife. They had four children. Mary packed up the children, left Joseph, and moved to Texas. She and Joseph had no further contact.)

(2) James Henry Haney B: 29 Oct 1871, Missouri D: 23 June 1946, Bridgeport, TX M: 1895, Texas to

Anola ARNOLD (1/4 Cherokee Indian) B: 1 July 1875 (Either in Auburn, OK or in TX) D: 10 Oct 1942, Bridgeport, TX

James H Haney was ordained as a Baptist Minister by the laying on of hands in Ellis County, TX 4 Sept 1898.

(3) Joseph Hiram HANEY B: 30 Dec 1911, Malbank, TX D: 7 Sept 1965, Phoenix, AZ M: Dec 1930, OK to

Mabel Elizabeth GOBER B: 26 Jan 1913, Eddy, TX D: 29 April 1989, Mesa, AZ

Joseph was a Baptist Minister, had his own church for a while. He was in the US ARMY in the 30's, got out and when the WWII began he re-enlisted (even though he was near cut-off age). He was in the campaigns in Libya, Africa and Italy (Anzio, etc). Out of a company of 200 he was one of the few survivors (he said six). He has entered the war as a reservist and because of a prejudice by the commandment, no reservists were ever promoted. So, he went in a private and came out a private. He received the Purple Heart when he was injured by a bomb blast that went off under his feet. But, there was so much mud and muck that it cushioned the blow. Also, he said the metal covered bible he carried in this chest pocket saved his life. When the US AIR FORCE became a separate armed force after the war, my grandfather joined up. He spent a total of 27 years in the service of his country.Joseph & Mabel had 3 children, the first died at birth, the third was
