Bio
Son of William Spears Haney and Sarah Elizabeth Marsh. Paternal grandson of Hezekiah Haney. Maternal grandson of William H. Marsh and Elizabeth Harrell. Husband of Winnie E. Tadlock. He was a Civil War Veteran of the 53rd Regiment, Co. I, NC Volunteers. Norfleet's name appears on The Family Memorial of William S. Haney Faulks Baptist Cemetery Marshville, Union, North Carolina Norfleet is believed to be buried in this cemetery, but no stone marks his grave. He took his own life, and the account of his death is reproduced here. After his death, his widow and children relocated to Texas. Monroe Enquirer, 29 March 1879 Another Suicide At a late hour on Sunday evening last, information reached this place that Mr. N.B. Haney, living some 12 miles east of here, had, about 12 o'clock that day committed suicide by hanging. It seems that Mr. Haney has had spells of derangement for some time, and on the day in question, his mind was considerably deranged. He left his house about 11 o'clock to go to an oat field near by, and after leaving, a little boy remarked to his mother that his father carried a rope off in his pocket. Being uneasy on account of the condition of his mind, she at once followed after him, and soon found his body suspended to the limb of a small tree, with his hands tied behind him. She at once went to a neighbor's to procure assistance, but having some distance to go, life was extinct before he could be taken down. When found, he was swinging in a sitting posture only a few inches from the ground, - in fact his heels were dragging on the ground, showing plainly that he had died by strangulation. The fact that his hands were tied behind him excited some comment, but it was at once conceded that he did it all himself. - The Coroner summoned a jury, who, after viewing the premises and taking testimony, rendered a verdict that the deceased had come to his death by hanging with a rope fixed with his own hands.
