Henry Huntly Haight was born in San Francisco, Calif., November 4, 1864, the son of Henry Huntly Haight (B.A. 1844), governor of California from 1867 to 1871, and Anna Elizabeth (Bissell) Haight. His paternal grandparents were Fletcher Mathews Haight, a graduate of Hamilton College in 1818, who was appointed judge of the United States District Court for southern California by President Lincoln in 1862, and Elizabeth Stewart (MacLachlan) Haight. He traced his ancestry to Cameron of Lochiel, and to Jonathan Teal Haight, who came to America from England. His mother was the daughter of Capt. Lewis Bissell and Mary (Woodbridge) Bissell, and a descendant of John Bissell, who was born in Somerset, England in 1591, and sailed in 1630 from Plymouth, England, for Boston. The family home is at Windsor, Conn. John Bissell's ancestors were natives of France who were driven out of the country at the time of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, took refuge in Holland, and later removed to Somerset.
His preparation for college was received at the Trinity School in San Francisco. He was a member of the Freshman Crew and of the Junior Promenade Committee. He held a second colloquy appointment in both Junior and Senior years.
Mr. Haight spent three months abroad after graduation, and on his return entered the Yale School of Law. The following year he became a student at the Hastings College of Law at the University of California, where he received the degree of LL.B in 1891. He was admitted to the bar, and after serving for nine months as a clerk in a law office, began to practice independently in San Francisco. In 1893 he accepted the position of managing clerk for the law firm of Chickering, Thomas & Gregory, which position he held until 1897. He then became engaged in the general insurance business in San Francisco in partnership with J.O. Cadman, under the firm name of Cadman & Haight. From 1909 to 1919 he was district manager in San Francisco of the Standard Accident Insurance Company of Detroit, Mich.
He died very suddenly, of heart disease, at his home in Oakland, Calif, December 2, 1919. Internment was in Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland.
His second marriage took place in Berkeley, Calif., November 15, 1902 to Dora B., daughter of Major Henry McKinley Benson, U.S.A., retired, and Mary Francesca (Paty) Benson, who survives him with their son, Henry Huntley, 3rd, born January 1, 1911. In addition to his wife and son, he leaves a brother, Dr. Louis Montrose Haight (Ph.B. 1880) and a sister, Janet Cameron Haight. He was a nephew of Dugald Cameron Haight (B.A. 1847).
