The History of Cooper County by Johnson

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.
