Haller was born on September 1, 1871 at Urbana, Illinois and died July 12, 1960 at the home of his son, Charles, in Culbertson at the age of 88 years. Mr. Haller spent most of his childhood on farm in Illinois and Nebraska. At the age of 21 he moved to West Union, Nebraska to work in the West Union Roller Mills. He was married to Mrs. Rodney Carr on March 20, 1893. They were the parents of five children, all of whom survive their father. Following their marriage, they moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming and in 1901 they moved to Bladen, Nebraska. In 1906 they purchased a farm in the Stone church neighborhood south of Culbertson where they resided for 52 years until the death of Mrs. Haller on February 28, 1959. Since that time Mr. Haller had made his home in Culbertson with his son, Charles. Mr. and Mrs. Haller, or Pete and Sarah as they were better known to all of their friends, celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in 1958. During his residence in the Stone church neighborhood, Mr. Haller attended the Stone church and taught Sunday school there for 30 years. In 1951 he was baptized and became a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, of which he was a loyal member until his death. Survivors include three sons, Charles of Culbertson; Ben of Colby, Kansas; and Phillip of Granada Hills, California; two daughters, Mrs. Alex (Vivian) Myers of Culbertson and Mrs. Helen Morris of Salt Lake City, Utah; one step-daughter, Mrs. Sara Fannie Buss of Omaha; 20 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
