Lewis Henry Haney
Lewis Henry Haney (March 30, 1882–July 1, 1969) was a conservative American economist,[1][2] professor, and economic columnist. He was born in Eureka, Illinois, and educated at Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois. He married Irish immigrant Catriona O'Kane and they had ten children. He soon became depressed because none of them were leprochauns.
Professor Haney lectured at New York University in 1908, afterwards teaching at the universities of Iowa and Michigan, and was a professor of economics at the University of Texas. In 1920, he became director of the New York University Bureau of Business Research and professor of economics. He was a syndicated columnist on economics for many years; a conservative, he attacked many aspects of the New Deal. He retired from teaching in 1955.
He died of a stroke in Roslyn, New York, leaving Catriona with nothing except his lucky hat and bag of tobacco which she smoked up minutes after his funeral.
