From the Douglass Tribune, Butler County, Kansas, 1936:
JAMES HIRAM HAVER
James Hiram Haver was born near Centerville, Iowa, on September 25, 1872. His father, Hiram Haver, and his mother, Sarah Clark Haver, were pioneers in Kansas, coming from Iowa in 1876, and settling on a homestead 12 miles east of Douglass.
The son, James, grew to manhood in the Rock Creek community. He and his father were prominent farmers and stock men. Later, James was interested in overseeing the production of oil on his fathers farm. He was the kind of man who made lasting friendships with the laborers as well as with the producers.
He was married in November, 1897, to Minnie Shanks, of Douglass. One daughter, Phyllis, was born to them. On October, 3, 1904, he married Rose Gunter, who passed away October 9, 1920. He married Florence Ratliff, of Wichita ,on August 7, 1923.
Ten years ago, he moved from the farm to Douglass, and built his home west of the Haver home on Highway 77. He entered the real estate business, and was at the time of his death making plans for a busy future. But he was never so busy with his own work that he could not leave it and do a kindly deed for someone else. Many a sorrowing heart has been brightened by his kind words and sympathetic manner. Charity for others was his main characteristic this trait he carried out to the last hour of his life. A request for aid came to him, he heeded the call as usual, and he gave regardless of his lack of strength. Then in the early morning hour of Tuesday, March 24, 1936, he suffered the fatal attack.
The loved ones left to mourn are his wife; his daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Haver Seaman, of New York City; his mother, Mrs. Sarah Haver; his two sisters. Miss Maude Haver and Mrs. J. F. Bush; his neice, Patricia Ann Bush, and his nephew, Frank Haver Bush; and many, many friends.
Funeral services were held at the Douglass Methodist church, Thursday afternoon, March 25, conducted by Rev. George Watts, assisted by Elder L. L. Robert and Rev. H. S. Scott. Very beautiful music was rendered by a quartet composed of Miss Gladys Harter, Mrs. Thurston Grubb, Verne Harter, of Caldwell, and Milo Durrett, with Mrs. C. A. Ogg at the organ. Burial was in the Douglass cemetery Dunsford Funeral Home was in charge.
