Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [195]

           OLIVER HALEY, farmer, section 14, Colfax Township, came to
        Huron County in the spring of 1866.  He lived about six months
        at Sand Beach, and in the spring of 1867 "took up" a claim of 160
        acres of land on sections 14 and 23 in Colfax Township.  He has
        made a later purchase of 40 acres, increasing his estate to 200
        acres in the aggregate, which embraces 60 acres under good culti-
        vation.  MR. HALEY has held various official positions in school
        and township affairs.  He is a Republican in his political senti-
        ments.
           MR. HALEY was born April 29, 1818, in Ireland, where he married
        and settled.  About 1854 he emigrated to Canada, whence he came to
        Michigan.  His parents, LUKE and PHEBE HALEY, were also natives of
        Ireland, and passed their entire lives in the land of their birth.
           OLIVER HALEY was married in Kings County, Ireland, to MARY
        CULBERT.  Their seven surviving children were born in the following
        order: MARGARET, OLIVER, JAMES, ELLEN, HENRY, GEORGE and WILLIAM.
        The last three were born in Canada.  PHEBE died when she was about
        six months old.  Mr. and Mrs. HALEY are communicants in the Church
        of England.
