his own out in Adams township north.
east of Oskaloosa, 400 acres of as fine
land as ever sun shone upon. And
then came the brother, Thompson
Hanna, and secured a farm in the
same neighborhood. The brothers
grew to be known as the Hanna boys
and their farms, the Hanna Neigh.
borhood." These brothers were work
ers and the success that came to
tenn was directed by their individu-
al effort and claimed through the
sweat of their brows. They prosepr.
ed with the advance of the years and
rightly came into their heritage, the
high place in the hearts and esteem
of their neighbOrs and friends. Mr..

of the farm several years ago and
came to Oskaloosa to spend the re
mainder of their days, purchasing a
neat and cozy home at No. 715 Sec.
ond avenue East, which they made
modern and comfortable. The farm,
one of the finest in the county today,
has passed on to the children in its
operation and the success of the pa.
rents is fully maintained by the pres
ent occupants. Mr.. Hanna was wide
ly known for his sturdy manhood,
his genial good nature and kind and
beneficient disposition. He cared
little for the distinction of place or
political preferment. He could have
