Source : Sandusky, OH Register, December 1, 1897, p. 3, col. 3 Rachael Gary Haley died Thursday morning, Nov. 25 at 6:30 o'clock, at the home of her son, F.A. Haley, at the age of 81 years, 8 months and 3 days. Rachael Haley was born in Liberty, Fairfield county, O., March 22, 1816. She was united in marriage to George Haley, January 1, 1835, to whom were born ten children, five sons and five daughters, husband and one son having preceded her in death. She was converted in her early youth and lived a faithful and devoted Christian life. She endured uncomplainingly the hardships and privations of a pioneer itinerant minister's wife, having the entire control and care of the family most of the time, as her husband was absent from home most of the time in his early ministry. When first married, she with her husband went into the woods, cut down trees and built a log house. Many a time the wolves would come and look in at the door. In 1864 she came to Huron, and has lived here ever since. For over 40 years she was quite deaf, yet sh! e has never complained of her misfortune. She leaves nine children, 50 grand children and 33 great grand children and many friends to mourn their loss, which is her gain. Her funeral took place Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Evangelical church of which she was a member. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.G. Ziegler of Sandusky, assisted by Rev. A.H. Wendt. Relatives from abroad in attendance were : W.W. Haley, Marion, O.; Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Smith, Lorain, O.; Mr. and Mrs. A. Gegenheimer, Mrs. C. Easterday, and Mrs. J.J. Haley, Portland, Ind. _____________________________________________________________ Get email for your site ---> http://www.everyone.net _____________________________________________________________ Select your own custom email address for FREE!
