MILTON HANEY
 
            Prominent among the experienced and enterprising jewelers in 
California who have contributed something definite towards the making of that 
industry one of the progressive arts of the day, are undoubtedly Messrs. Haney & 
Poole, widely known from their attractive shops at 228 D Street, Marysville.  He 
was born at Normal, McLean County, Ill., on December 3, 1885.  He grew up on a 
farm, attended the district schools, and enjoyed life as a youth, very much like 
the other boys in the comfortable Prairie State.
            In 1903, when he was just coming into young manhood, Mr. Haney left 
home for California; and for a time he engaged in the jewelry business at 
Vacaville, Solano County.  In 1906, however, he removed to Marysville.  Here he 
bought the S. J. Barnett jewelry store at 217 D Street, which had been 
established fifty years.  It was a small store, with a small stock; but he knew 
how to make something more of it, which he did; and in 1912 he sold half his 
interest to Frank Poole.  This partnership was dissolved in 1913, and for three 
years Mr. Haney was in business at 813 K Street, Sacramento; but in 1915 he 
returned to his present location in Marysville, and formed a new partnership 
with his brother-in-law, J. D. Poole.  In addition to his share in this 
prosperous enterprise, Mr. Haney owns a desirable peach ranch in Sutter County, 
and a vineyard in Yolo County.
            At Sacramento, in the year 1914, Mr. Haney married Miss Cordie 
Poole, of San Diego County, the accomplished daughter of W. C. Poole, whose name 
is well-known to San Diego and throughout Southern California.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Haney have one child, a bright and interesting two-year-old girl named June.  
Mr. Haney is an Elk, belonging to Marysville Lodge No. 783; a Mason, connected 
with Corinthian Lodge No. 9; and also an Odd Fellow.
