Elizabeth (Lizzie) Mary Haney
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Mary was born on October 24th, 1883. Elizabeth fell in love with James Hawley and they married on June 5th, 1917. They moved into Haney House just after the wedding to be with the recently widowed Anne, and had three children: Mary Doreen, Charles Joseph, and James Bernard.
The home we refer to as Haney House was referred to as the Hawley house for many years as Elizabeth and husband James occupied the house from 1917 to James Hawley's death in 1971 at the age of 94 and beyond as his wife stayed on with their daughter until the house was donated to the municipality in 1980.
In her later years, Elizabeth and her daughter, Mary, worked hard to have Haney House recognized as a heritage site, finally making the generous decision to donate the land and property to the municipality as a historic park.
