Biographical Sketch	Henry H. Haner, with his wife Sarah Strope Haner, was an early settler in the Wyandot County, Ohio area, coming to the County in 1838 and holding property in Mifflin and Marseilles Townships. Henry emigrated to Kansas in 1863, but his son John continued to live in Mifflin Township of the County.
Scope and Content	The bulk of the Haner Family papers center on the family of Henry H. Haner, his son John Haner, with some minor material on the related Dean family (associated with the Haners through the second marriage of John Haner). Although most of the papers relate to land transactions dating from the earliest acquisition of land by the family in Wyandot County in 1838, the letters written from the area around Peoria, Franklin County, Kansas by Henry Haner, each about a year apart from 1865 through 1867, provide the most personal view of the life of the family. The various letters describes the trip, family health and deaths, farming (including an account in the letter of January 15, 1867 of a plague of grasshoppers) and the economic conditions of the area.
