MARGARET HANEY

ILL BUT A DAY MRS. HANEY DEAD
Well Known North side Lady Suffers Fatal Attack on Street.
WAS RESIDENT OF THIS CITY FOR 28 YEARS.
Overtaken by a sudden attack of illness while on her way to the North Side
school entertainment Thursday evening, Mrs. Margaret Haney failed to rally and
death followed within twenty-four hours, Mrs. Haney’s demise occurring at the
family home Ninth and St. Clair street Friday evening. Announcement of the death
of Mrs. Haney is a shock to friends, coming as it does with no warning, she
having enjoyed excellent health up to the fatal attack Thursday.
Accompanied by her daughter, Miss Mary, Mrs. Haney left home Thursday evening
to attend the entertainment at the opera house and when at the corner of Eighth
and Park street was overcome by a fainting spell, resulting from a heart attack
which proved to be fatal. Mrs. Haney was taken to the home of Dr. Pritchard and
was revived with effort and later removed home where despite ministrations of
medical science and love’s tenderest care, death came within a day to claim her.
Mrs. Haney was born in Clare County, Ireland 77 years ago and came to the United
States at the age of 18, locating in New York where in 1852 she arrived Thomas
Haney, the husband who preceded her in death nine years. The Haneys came west to
Sheboygan in 57 and after a year there, located at Montpieler, Kewaunee county on
a farm, remaining until 28 years ago, when the came to this city. Mrs. Haney was
the mother of three children, Michael, deceased, John of Algoma and Miss Mary of
this city.
Mrs. Haney was an extraordinary woman, although years had made her older in name
only. Her mental faculties were as strong and young as they ever were. She loved
honesty and fairness, of which she was a sample. She loved her home, her relative
and her friends and always had an open hand, conveyed by an honest heart, to do
them a good turn. Since the death of her husband and later the death of her son
Michael, the burden of sorrow bore heavily upon her. Her loss will be keenly felt
by those who knew her best. The space of a more noble woman, wife and mother
cannot be duplicated. She was methodical and diplomatic in every move of life.
The sorrows and miseries of her friends became hers, and she was ever true in her
friendships.
The funeral will be held from the home Monday at 2 o’clock.
