Obituary of Samuel "Sam" Colman Hanna
Samuel C. Hanna
Prominent Kansan and Long-Time Resident of Elk County Dies After Long and Painful Illness
Samuel Colman Hanna, an old time resident and one of Howard's most prominent citizens died at Wichita, Kansas, July 12th, 1928.
He was born August 19th, 1850, at Attica, Indiana. Mr. Hanna was one of four children of Captain Barlow Hanna and Amanda Colman Hanna.
The deceased was first united in marriage with Lucy Plowman in the year 1881 and following her death in the year 1918, was later united in marriage with Ivison Scott, who together with his sister, Mary L. Hanna survive him.
He was educated at his birthplace and Ann Harbor, the University of Michigan. In his early manhood, Mr. Hanna, in association with his brother-in-law, Charles F. Plowman, journeyed to Colorado and entered upon and became interested in what afterwards proved to be the major interest of his career, namely, the breeding and raising of fine stock.
He later returned east and for a time was successfully engaged in the business of street contracting in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana.
In the year 1881, Mr. Hanna located at Howard, Kansas, since which time Howard has been his home.
Mr. Hanna was a far-sighted, keen business man and firmly believed that better types were essential to the standard and quality of both horses and cattle in Elk and surrounding counties, and therefore soon after establishing and equipping his large stock farm, adjacent to Howard he began the importation of highly bred cattle from England and Scotland, visiting these countries in person and carefully inspecting and making his selections. He also imported pure bred horses from France and Belgium.
Perhaps no one person, through the introductin of famous sires did more to elevate the stock raising industry in this section of Kansas than did of Mr. Hanna.
(Picture of Samuel Colman Hanna has been omitted)
Mr. Hanna early became interested in the growing of alfalfa and it was through his enthusiastic efforts and his lectures at the State Agricultural College and the Granges throughout the state that alfalfa was first introduced among our farmers, later becoming a staple major crop and a boon to the community.
Mr. Hanna was a practical stock raiser and farmer of the Country Gentlemen type finding time aside from his extensive interests to take an active part in county and civic affairs.
For a number of years he was cashier of the First National Bank, of Howard, served as a member of the city council and as mayor and was elected and served as county commissioner and also as county treasurer of Elk County. He was president of the Kansas Stock Breeders Association and president of the Elk county Fair Association.
"Sam" Hanna as he was best known to the people of Howard and Elk county was a forceful character, frank and fearless in his views upon all questions, never guilty of equivocation or the dodging of an issue, in short, one of whom it may be truthfully said, "we know where he stands."
During his long and useful life in our community, Mr. Hanna made many warm friends among those who knew him best and if at time his impetuosity, fiery zeal and free expression may have occasioned a temporary breach, his friends and neighbors will never cease to cherish the memory of a kind and true friend, of a man who integrity was unimpeachable, of one whose ideals were unusually high and who was always to be found on the moral side of every ethical question, as a chaste and clean living educated gentleman, whom to know as a friend, it is a pleasure to honor.
Funeral services were conducted at 7 p.m., July 13th, 1928, at his home in Howard, Kansas, by Rev. A. R. Griggs, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Harry Crane, pastor of the M. E. church at Smith Center, Kansas, formerly at Howard and a personal friend of Mr. Hanna. The male quartette of Howard sang "Lead Kindly Light" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" The service closed with Mr. Hanna's favorite prayer, read by his long-time friend, Mrs. Arthur Goodwin. - G. K.

We know our darling is at home with God."

MR. ADAM S. HORN - Submitted by L. Morgan
BURNED TO DEATH
Adam S. Horn was burned to death Tuesday morning, December 27, 1904, in a fire that comsumed the Miller & Frye meat market. The fire was discovered by J. L. Edwards about 2:40 a.m., at which time the flames had made such headway that it was impossible to extinguish them, as a fierce blizzard was raging. The fire department was called out and with difficulty it was able to protect other buildings on the south side of the avenue. The strong north wind would have carried the fire to all the buildings on the east side of Main street had not the mist and falling snow made everything so damp that fire could not easily catch.
Mr. Horn had been employed in the meat market only about a week, coming here from Peru. He was a good workman and of a pleasant disposition. For a number of years he had worked at his trade for Wm. Dory, of Grenola, but for two or three years had been in Chautauqua county. On the night before the fatal fire he had been up with friends until about an hour before the fire was discovered when he had retired to his room in the upper story of the buildings never to appear again. His charred remains were found in the ashes--a pathetic appeal to humane sympathy.
The fire seemed to have originated, but no one knows how, in the rooms occupied by Chas. Kalbe and family who were all absent from home at the time. When the fire was discovered Dr. Buckley who went to the door of the upper story was driven back by flames. He instantly broke in a window and called, asking if any one was within, and heard muffled cries and moans, and twice heard the word "help" feebly uttered, but those standing by were unable to do anything for the poor fellow because of the intense heat, and rapid work of the flames.
The building and contents were a total loss, but both were protected by insurance. - Moline Review.
