George Haley was born in Switzerland and settled in Fairfield County with his parents in 1816. At the age of fifteen he was soundly converted at the home of Shem Sager, north of Baltimore. In 1857 he was appointed presiding elder of Cleveland District. At that time he located on a farm near Huron where he lived the rest of his days. Here he set aside the grounds for the camp meetings which preceded Linwood.
"Rev. Haley was an active, sincere, and successful servant of God and led many souls to Christ," said S.P. Spreng. "His affability and generous disposition endeared him to the people, and his zeal in preaching gained him many attentive hearers."
