HIS LIFE's STORY.

of American Proqressiveness.

Marcus Alonzo Hanna was born at
Lisbon, Colombiana county, Ohio, in
1887. In 1852 his father removed with
his family to Cleveland. where he es-
tablished himself in a wholesale gro
Gerry business that soon became one of
the most extensive of the kind in Ohio.
Young Hanna was educated in the
Cleveland public schools and began a
course at the Western Reserve univer-
sity which was interrupted in 1857
by the failing health of his father.
His father died in 1862 and young
Hanna conducted the business with
success until 1867 when he formed a
partnership with his father-in-law,
Daniel P. Rhodes.
