N. B. Haney - Pages 454 & 455

      Dr. N. B. Haney, one of the leading physicians of Parker county was born
in Tuscaloosa county, Alabama, August 2, 1854. His father, W. B. Haney, a farmer and
mechanic by occupation, was born in middle Tennessee , and is now a resident of
Galloway county, (postoffice Walker), Alabama, aged sixty-three years. During the late
war he was in the Department of Tennessee in the Confederate army, serving from 1862
until the close of the struggle and fourteen months of that time was spent in the Rock
Island (Illinois) prison. He is the son of Robert T. Haney, who moved from Charleston,
South Carolina, to North Carolina, and thence to Tennessee. The mother of our subject was a daughter of Zachariah Simpson, a miller and planter by occupation, owing a number of
slaves. He served in the Seminole war with R. T. Haney, also in the war of 1812, under
Jackson.. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Haney had the following children: N. B., the subject of this
sketch; M. L. ; John J. , an attorney at Carbon Hill, Alabama; James; William, a farmer
of Texas; Mary (Minnie Allen) , wife of Newton Guttery (Guthrey), of Arkansas; R. L.
and A. G., of this state; Bedford F., a resident of Carbon Hill, Alabama.
      N. B. Haney attended the Jasper and Holly Grove Academies, after which he taught school for seven years. At the age of twenty-three years he began reading medicine with
Dr. J. A. Goodwin, of Jasper, Alabama. He afterward entered the Medical Department of
the Vanderbilt University, graduating at that noted institution in the spring of 1880 (1882).
The Doctor followed his profession in Jasper until 1883, and in that year came to Parker
county., Texas. From 1886 to 1888 he practiced medicine in Birmingham, Alabama,
but in the latter year returned to Texas, and has ever since been identified with Parker
county's school of physicians. On locating at Millsap eleven years ago, Dr. Haney found
Drs. Waits and Brown practicing here, neither of whom are here now. The Doctor's
practice covers many miles of the surrounding country. He has found no remarkable
changes in the prevailing troubles afflicting his people in his ten years' practice in
Texas, but rather a better state of health prevails, because of the use of cistern water
instead of the impure water of creeks and pools used years ago. In addition to his general
practice, he owns two small farms in Parker county. He is a member of the Weatherford
Medical Association, and of the Christian Church (Church of Christ).
      Dr. Haney was married at Jasper, Alabama, in the fall of 1883 to Cornelia,
a daughter of Frank Garner, who resides in Mississippi. They have had two children,-
Mattie A. (Alyce) and Clyde (deceased) (aged 3 months- weighing 3lbs).

DR. N. B. Haney
Newton Bolivar Haney M.D., one of the leading physicians of
Parker County, Texas was born in Tuscaloosa county, Alabama, August 21,1854, His father, William B. Haney, a farmer and mechanic by occupation, was born
in middle Tennessee, and is now a resident of Galloway county,(post office Walker), Alabama aged sixty-three years. During the late war (the Civil War) he was in the Department of Tennessee in the Confederate army, serving from 1862 until the close of the struggle, and fourteen months of that time was spent in the Rock Island (Illinois) prison, (While in the prison he and other Confederate prisoners were often half starved to the point they caught and ate rats which abounded there. At the close of the war he had to return home wearing only his long underwear.) He is a son of Robert T, Haney, who moved from Charleston, South Carolina, to North Carolina, and thence to Tennessee. (Originally two brothers by the name of McHaney, migrated to South
Carolina from Galway, Ireland. Upon reaching America they dropped the "Mc" which means "son of", and became the originals of the Haney family.) The mother of our subject was a daughter of Zachariah Simpson,(by the name of Martha) a miller and planter by occupation, owning a number of slaves. He served in the Seminole war with Robert T. Haney, also in the war of 1812, under Jackson (Stonewall).
Mr. and Mrs. William B. Haney (husband of Martha Simpson Haney,
and son of Robert T. Haney) had the following children: Newton Bolivar, the subject of this sketch; Melia Lodusky; John J., and attorney at Carbon Hill, Alabama; James; William, a farmer of Texas (born while his father was away at war and so named for his father); Minnie Allen, wife of Newton Guthrie, of Arkansas; Robert Lee and Armpstead Grace, of this State; and Bedford Forrest, a resident of Carbon Hill, Alabama. (The last three sons were named for Confederate generals.)
N. B. Haney, attended the Jasper and Holly Grove Academies, after
which he taught school seven years. At the age of twenty-three years he
began reading medicine with Dr. J. A. Goodwin, of Jasper, Alabama.. He afterward entered the Medical Department of the Vanderbilt University, graduating at that noted institution in the spring of 1882. The Doctor followed his profession in Jasper until 1883, and in that year came to Parker County, Texas. From 1886 to 1888 he practiced medicine in Birmingham, Alabama, but in the latter year returned to Texas, and has ever since been identified with Parker county's school of physicians. On locating in Millsap eleven years ago, Dr. Haney found Drs. Waits and Brown practicing here, neither of whom are here now. The Doctor's practice covers many miles of the surrounding country. He has found no remarkable changes in the prevailing troubles afflicting his people in his ten years' practice in Texas, but rather a better state of health prevails, because of the use of cistern water instead of the impure water of creeks and pools used years ago. In addition to his general practice he owns two small farms in Parker County. He is a member of the Weatherford Medical Association and of the Church of Christ. Dr. Haney was married at Jasper, Alabama, in the fall of 1883to Helen Cornelia, a daughter of Frank Marion Garner, who resides in Mississippi, and Alyce Owens Hubbard Garner, of Alabama. They have had two children, - Martha Alyce (named for each of her grandmothers) and Clyde, who died at the age of three months, nineteen days weighing only three pounds at death. That he, at his tiny size, could survive that long in the days before incubators, etc., was probably due to his having the best medical help available in those days.
Dr. Haney died July 24, 1930, at the home of his daughter and son-in-law., William Jack Myrick, in Fort Worth, Texas. His wife, Cornelia died at the family home in Bennett, Texas
(Parker County) in 1925.
