The following obituary & memorial was placed in a Greenfield, Ind. paper on December 21, 1929 by his friend, Charles F. Reeves:
"GEORGE C. HAMAN"
George C. Haman was born March 8, 1868 in Franklin County, Indiana near Metamora and passed away December 18, 1929, at the age of 61 years, 9 months, and 10 days. He leaves to mourn his departure. the immediate family consisting of his wife, Cora A. Haman, his daughter, Leah Linder, and her husband and son, Albert Linder and George Eugene Linder. He also leaves two brothers, Fred Haman of Rosenberg, Texas, Chris Haman of Brookville, Indiana; and three sisters, Anna Collett of Flint, Michigan, Carrie Maley of Alexandria, Indiana; and Louisa Hokey of Laurel, Indiana, and a great number of friends.
He was of German ancestry, his father and mother, Rudolph and Anna Haman, were both natives of Hanover, Germany, and emigrated to this country before their marriage.
George's early life was spent with his parents on the farm near where he was born and he obtained a common school education in the Metamora schools.
On the 18th day of February, 1891, he was married to Cora A. Baker. No children were ever born to this couple. But the home seldom lacked the music of happy childish voices, for, during the period of their married life, they took into their home and hearts, and kept them there, eight children of other parentage. One of these children was Leah Caldwell, now Leah Linder, whom they took for their very own when she was only five weeks old, adopted her, educated her, loved her, and she has remained with them or near them and is now left to sustain and cheer the bereaved wife in this time of her darkest sorrow.
Their home was always open and much of the time occupied by older people whom they took in and cared for. His father lived with them for several years as did also Mrs. Haman's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Mr. Baker spending the last fifteen years of his life, cared for in their home.
In 1905 they moved to a farm near Greenfield and have remained in and around this city ever since.
In 1906 he united with the Church of the Disciples of Christ in this city and continued as a zealous, consistent working member of that denomination for the remainder of his life.
George Haman was a good man, a conscientious Christian gentleman, high-minded, kind-hearted, loving and lovable. He was a friend to everybody, and to everything that stood for the uplift of humanity and the improvement of society.
He was generous and helpful. His chief pleasure was manifested in doing something for others, as was evidenced by the many people fostered in their home.
His kindly nature was exemplified in and gratified by his tender care of and his loving ministrations to his wife whom he so devoutly loved and who was for many years an invalid. He never aimed to do anything that "Cory" as he fondly called her, did not want him to do. Her every wish was gratified if within his power. He always tried to do his duty and to follow the Golden Rule in his dealings with others, and was the soul of honor.
One little incident in his life beautifully portrayed his character. He was planting some fruit trees and someone remarked to him that so far as he was concerned it seemed a useless task, that he would probably never live long enough to see the tree bear fruit. He replied that that was probably true but that he wanted to do something that the future generations might enjoy; that perhaaps when they gathered and enjoyed the fruit they would think of the man who planted the trees and that the trees would be a monument to his memory.
A few months ago when their house in this city was almost destroyed by fire, in the rehabilitation of their home he did much of the work, and Leah, the daughter said that almost every tree, shrub and flower around the home her father helped her to plant. What a comforting memory the spring time hereafter will bring to them in the leafing of the trees, the budding of the shrubs, and the blooming of the flowers he helped to plant! They will feel his presence among them.
One characteristic that endeared George Haman to his friends was his sunny, jovial disposition. He was always smiling, always joking, not frivoloous, but happy and wholesome; the kind of a man that left one feeling better, brighter and happier after being in his presence. He was energetic, a good worker. He did not seek to amass a fortune. He lived comfortably and well. It was his ambition to keep his family in comfort and to give all that he could to help support other people less fortunate than himself.
The value of a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses, but in the wealth of happiness and good that he helps to create. Measured by that standard, George Haman's life was a beautiful success.
The great love he had for his wife and his devotion to her has already been mentioned. As much can be said of his love and devotion to the daughter, Leah, and also her son, his namesake, George Eugene Linder. He was fond and proud of both of them and loved to have them with him and always did everything within his power for their welfare and happiness.
When the sands of life had nearly run, when he was expecting the summons, he expressed a desire to stay with his loved ones a little longer if it was the Lord's will. But he had put his house in order, he was ready for the Master's call, and when the moment arrived he passed peacefully away into the realm beond this earthly life with courage and hope and trust in the love and in full confidence that all would be well with him.
"Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching."
As we now, with sorrowing hearts, gather about the bier of this friend, neighbor, brother, husband, father and grandfather, whom we loved, let us mourn not as those who have no hope, for we have the blessed assurance of a glorious immortality.
