Robert Peter Haverty is the son of Peter Haverty and Mary Annie Kennedy Haverty, both from Ireland. He is the husband of Amanda Volumnia Terry Haverty and father of thirteen children: Thomas T, Elizabeth Virginia, Mary Belle, Rocky Mountain, James Woodsen, Katherine, Grace Gertrude, Richard Kennedy, Robert Lee, Oklahoma Peter, Amanda Pearl, Harry Bone and Helen Bessie Haverty.
Robert was hauling a wagon load of pipe into Ramsey Canyon for a pipeline. He had unloaded the pipe and went back to the mouth of the canyon to his home. He stopped to open a gate and when he went to get back up on the wagon, his young team was startled and started to run away. He was only half on the wagon so he went to jump off, but got hung up just enough to get thrown under the wheels of the heavy freight wagon. His back and leg were broken. He lived long enough to be taken home so he could die in his wife's arms. He was buried in the Ramsey Canyon Cemetery near his home.
