Sarah obtained her own homestead in western McPherson Co., Nebraska near her parents' place. This was near the Lena post office in what is now Arthur Co. Sarah and her husband Tom lived there initially after marrying and acquired quite a few acres of land. Their first three children were born there. After that, they moved to a tree [free?] claim 23 miles south of Mullen, in Hooker Co. Their McPherson Co. biography notes:

At the time they moved to the Hooker County ranch, there was no mail other than that at Mullen. There were no roads, only sand trails, so they didn't get mail very often. Later, they were able to get their mail at Eclipse Post Office which was eight miles to the west. Finally, the Haney's were able to get a post office in their home. Sarah was postmistress for this post office called Moore, Nebraska, for almost 21 years.

Census: 19 Jun 1900, Brooking Precinct,McPherson Co.,Nebraska
