Henrietta Maria (Cox) Haller (1824-1910) was born in Ireland, arriving in New York with her parents in 1837. She married U. S. Army officer Colonel Granville O. Haller (1819-1897) and the couple had four children, Alice May Haller Nichols (1851-1887), George Morris Haller (1852-1889), Charlotte Haller McKee (1854-1932), and Theodore Newell Haller (1864-1930). The family moved to Washington Territory in 1852, and Henrietta continued to accompany her husband on trips around the Horn of South America and visited the East many times. By 1890 they made their permanent home in Seattle in the fashionable First Hill neighborhood where they were a popular couple in Seattle society. Fort Henrietta (1855-1856) in North Eastern Oregon near Echo, Oregon was named for Henrietta by Major Mark A. Chinn, who was an officer in the First Oregon Mounted Rifles under Major Granville Haller. Since 1988 the site has been Fort Henrietta Park, maintained by the National Park Service as part of the National Historic Trail.
Haller Lake in north central Seattle is named for son Theodore Haller, a prominent businessman and lawyer.
