March 13, 1908
Bristol, N. Y. - George Haney, who was stricken with paralysis on Jan. 6, 1907, and had since been an invalid, died on Saturday night. He was born in Ohio 70 years ago. For many years he was a familiar figure through the nearby towns with a grocery on wheels and for the past four years had conducted the grocery and dry goods store formerly owned by Julius Shulters. He was a deacon of the Universalist Church and had been greatly missed since his illness had kept him away from it. He was a good man, honored by all. Many missed his thoughtful assistance and every one, young and old, knew if they had a favor to ask Mr. Haney would grant it if possible. He was a kind father and a loving grandfather, and was both to his two grandsons, Harold and Theodore Sleight, who remembered no other father. His funeral was held from the Universalist Church on Tuesday morning, Rev. L. D. Boynton officiating. He was buried at Allens Hill, beside his wife. He leaves three children, Mrs. George Wood of Victor; Mrs. William Codding and Mrs. Courtland Kent of this place; three grandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. Carr of Allen's Hill. The whole community has lost a friend and sympathize with the family in their loss.
