Henry Haldeman was a son of Jacob and Anna (Mimick) Haldeman, the former of whom was a native of Berks County, Pennsylvania, where was solemnized his marriage and whence he and his wife immigrated to Ohio about the year 1818. Location was first made near Frederickstown [sic], Richland county, and subsequently the Haldeman family removed to Morrow County, where Jacob Haldeman entered half a section of government land, namely, the northwest quarter of section 29, township 19, and the northeast quarter of section 30, township 20, the date of entry being the 11th of March, 1818.

A portion of this land has been in the Haldeman name down to the present day and Jacob passed the residue of his life on one of his farms in Morrow county. Henry Haldeman was born in this county, in 1822, and he was reared to maturity under the invigorating influence of the old home farm, his early educational training consisting of such advantages as were afforded in the schools of the locality and period. After his marriage to Lydia Ettinger they settled on one hundred and forty acres of his father’s estate, where he continued to be identified with farming during the greater part of his active career.

He and his wife were zealous members of the Evangelical Association and in lieu of a religious place of worship church meetings were held in their home. They were much interested in church work and he was class leader and superintendent of the Sunday School for a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Haldeman became the parents of eight children, five of whom are living at the present time, namely: William Wesley, who married Miss Mary Marshall and who is a traveling salesman by vocation, his business headquarters and home being in the city of Cleveland, Ohio; Reuben J., married Miss Mary Portner and they reside at Fort Collins, Colorado, where he is engaged in the merchandise business; Daniel J., is the immediate subject of this review; Irene is the wife of J. S. Steele, of Loveland, Colorado; andUlysses Sidney Grant wedded Miss May Yeager and is identified with the Steam Shovel Company at Marion, Ohio.
