1883 History of Howard and Cooper Counties

EUGENE J. HALLER was born on December 7, 1848, at Schwenningen, A. N., in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany, the oldest of four brothers now all in this country. He received a fair education at the public school in his home and by private teachers. It was his intention, as well as his father's wish, to prepare himself for a school teacher, but the death of his father in 1861, leaving Haller's mother with four small boys in not the very best of circumstances, prevented him from entering a, seminary. In 1869, young Haller found employment in a notary's office, and in 1865, after an experience of three years, he became a salaried clerk, holding, up to 1868, several positions in lower civil offices and in the circuit court of Tuebingen, to the full satisfaction of his employers. In 1868 his mother died and Haller concluded to emirate to the United States. He and one of his brothers, with others, left home on July 5, 1868, arriving at St. Louis, their point of destination, on August 8, 1868. Not finding suitable work there, Hailer came, recommended by F. W. Ludwig, Esq., of Boonville, then a, member of the board of immigration, to Boonville, on October 15, 1868, and was installed as " printer's devil " at the Waechter am Missouri office, a new German paper started only a few months previous, working there till 1873, when failing health and other circumstances caused his withdrawal. Receiving an appointment as notary public, which has since been renewed repeatedly, he assisted F. W. Ludwig in his attorney and claim agency business. In the fall of 1874, the above mentioned paper became the property of said F. W. Ludwig who changed its came to Central Missourier, and Hailer was made foreman and assistant editor till October 15, 1877, when he bought the paper. He has been running it ever since as sole editor and proprietor very successfully. The paper has a large circulation, a good advertising and other patronage, is well supplied with types and presses, and compares favorably with any other German paper outside the large cities. It is published weekly; size, 26 x 40; subscription price, $2 per annum. Mr. Hailer can point with pride to his career; he is one of our self-made men and his further success can not be doubted.

John M. Haller
(Transcribed by Laura Paxton)

John M. Haller, proprietor and manager of the Boonville Coal Company, is a native of Boonville.  Mr. Haller is successor to Burger and Son and purchased this thriving business on Dec. 1, 1918.  The yards of the Boonville Coal Company are located at 602 East Spring Street and cover one half block.  Wood, coal, cement, sewer pipe, etc., are sold at retail and three teams are operating continually, and five men are employed in caring for the activities of the yard.  John M Haller was born in Boonville June 22, 1888.

Martin J. Haller, his father, was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1859, learned the printer's trade and emigrating from his native land, located in Boonville in 1872.  For the past 15 years, Mr. Haller has been foreman of the "Advertiser" publishing and printing plant in Boonville.  He was married to Anna Bach in 1869.  Mrs. Anna (Bach) Haller was born in Boonville and is a daughter of Peter Bach, a Cooper County pioneer.  The children born to Martin and Anna Haller are:  John M., the subject of this review; Mrs. Minnie Cramer, Boonville; Louise, at home with her parents; Ernest, a sailor, enlisted man in United States Navy, enlisted in 1917 as a pharmacist and is located at Naval Base No. 29; Gilbert enlisted in the U S Navy in 1918 and is attached to U. Submarine Boat, No. 3.

John M. Haller was educated in the Boonville public and high schools.  For 15 years after leaving high school he was a trusted and capable employee of the Sauter Mercantile Company of Boonville.  The business experience gained with this old time established concern, which was lately dissolved, has stood him in good stead since he was engaged in business on his own account, and Mr. Haller is making a decided success of his business venture.

He was married August 11, 1913, to Miss Nina Demarest of New York City, a daughter of Stephen and Evelyn (Vreeland) Demarest, who now reside in Chariton County MO.  Mr. & Mrs. John M Haller have two children:  John Haller, Jr., born October 6, 1916; Helen Louise Haller, born August 18, 1914.

Mr. Haller is a republican but is an independent voter.  He is a member of the Evangelical Church and is affiliated fraternally with the Knights of Pythias Lodge.
