Francis Haner

At the age of 19, Francis Haner enlisted as a Private in Company C, 28th NY, on April 25th, 1861. Following Cedar Mountain, he served on detached duty as a regimental teamster from September 1862 through to April 1863. He mustered out with the regiment on June 2nd, 1863.

Mr. Haner is buried at Greenwood Cemetery in the town of Wilson, Niagara County, NY. With his is buried his wife and a number of other relatives.

His headstone reads as follows:

FRANCIS HANER 1842 – 1913 Pvt. Co. C 28th Reg. N.Y. Vol

His wife’s headstone inscription is as follows:

SARAH HANER 1848-1914

A small headstone is placed next to Francis and Sarah. However, it is unreadable and may be a child.

Also, a family stone is there; but, for some reason, I failed to take any photos of it. However, the inscription is as follows:

Front:

PETER HANER Born Nov 11, 1811 Died Nov 21, 1902

Right Side:

HARRIET Wife of Peter Haner Born Mar 17 1831 Died Nov 26 1903

Left Side:

FRANCIS HANER 1841 – 1913 SARAH His Wife 1848 – 1914

Within the cemetery, the Haner family plot is about two thirds of the way to the back of the cemetery, to the left of the main road leading into the cemetery.
