Mrs. Haney was born in Wayne Township, [1864] one of the six children of Levi and Louisa Baker Nalley.

Surviving are her husband, William F. Haney; one daughter, Mrs. Fred (Mary H.) Stover of Hollywood, California; four sons, Dr. J. A. Haney, of Hopemont, W. Va,; Dr. F. C. Haney, of Waynesburg, Pa.; and Leland Haney of the home; and three grandchildren; Mrs. Wm.

Whatever of activity, effort or even sacrifice was required of her or suggested to her, for the welfare or comfort of those near to her or even the passing stranger, she gave and served as only a good mother and neighbor can and does.

Not only many of our present residents, but many of those who formerly resided here remember her most kindly and mourn her passing to that Home not made with hands.

Clarice Vivian (Eller) Stanley

It is with sadness that I report the death of Clarice Vivian (Eller) Stanley on 23 Dec 2014 (probably at Martins Ferry, Belmont Co., OH).  She was born on 8 Nov 1923 in Taylors Ridge, Marshall Co., WV a daughter of Berrell and Florence Arlena (Blake) Eller.

I had the privilege of meeting Clarice Stanley at one of the Yoho Family Reunions in New Martinsville, WV. We went on to collaborate on the compilation of an updated version of the Rine / Ryan family history that she produced from the papers of Dorothy (Rine) Brown.

The obituary appeared in the 26 December 2014 issue of The Intelligence - Wheeling News Register.
