HENRY A. HANLEY.—An
experienced, conscientious, and far-seeing business man is Henry A. Hanley, of
Hanley & Peyton, who was born on a farm in Eldorado County. He
is a son of John Andrew and Mary (McKenzie) Hanley. Mr. Hanley, Sr., came
to California in 1862 and worked
as a blacksmith, farmer and miner. He and his wife are deceased.
Henry
A. Hanley was educated in the public schools, and when he was sixteen years old
he engaged in mining, at which he worked for five years. He learned the
blacksmith trade and in 1913 came to Sacramento,
being in the employ of the Bowman Carriage Works until he formed his present
partnership of Hanley & Peyton, auto bodies, building and repairing.
In

was united in marriage with Miss Rose Cola, also a
native daughter of Eldorado
County. They are the parents of two
boys: Lawrence, who is with Hanley & Peyton, and Arthur, who enlisted for
service in the World War and was in the Rainbow Division. He served
overseas three years and fought in fifteen engagements, and received his
honorable discharge at the presidio. He is now in the employ of Thompson

Democratic principles. He is an Odd Fellow, being a member of the
Encampment, and is an Eagle, and a member of the farm bureau. He is a
capable, conscientious, and enterprising business man, and is deeply interested
