Jefferson County and Birmingham, Alabama:
Historical and Biographical, 1887
By John Witherspoon DuBose Pages 520-521
S. M. Hanby was born in Circleville, Ohio, in 1852, and was reared and educated there, graduating at Otterbein University, which was located at Westville, where his parents had moved when he was a child. His father, Rev. William Hanby, was widely known throughout the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, as a man of great piety, strong character, and wonderful executive ability. He filled the office of bishop in his church, the United Brethren in Christ, for many years, with marked success, and died leaving a name honored by all who had ever known him.
The subject of this sketch was the youngest child in the family. It was quite natural that he should inherit the many good qualities from so worthy a parent. Among these may be mentioned a keen sense of Justice, personal honor, and executive ability. On the advice of his physician he removed South in 1880. Birmingham was then a promising young city of five thousand population. Here he engaged as bookkeeper and clerk. His methodical and correct business habits, coupled with industry, soon enabled him to command a fine salary, and right at this point he laid the foundation of a very successful and not uneventful business career in the New South. Saving what money he could, he invested in real estate. At this time a small amount of money purchased considerable property. He embarked in the real estate and insurance business in 1882, which he has followed with uniform and unvarying success, and has made large profits for his friends who invested through him, and has accumulated, in his own name, a very handsome fortune. During all his career as a real estate man, his course has been characterized by great energy, perseverance, and success. From the beginning of his Birmingham life he has labored for the success not alone of himself as an individual, but for the city as a whole. The latest recognition of Mr. Hanby's worth as a business man, was his selection by the East Lake Land Company as its secretsry and treasurer.
Mr. Hanby was married, in 1883. to Mrs. Hattie Walker Hudson, 'nee Jarmon, only daughter of Captain James T. Jarmon, widely known in Alabama as a popular steamboat captain, who also served in the Confederate Army with Distinction. Mrs. Hanby inherits through her mother, qualities and characteristics which distinguished some of the most renowned families of South Carolina and Virginia-The Saxons of the former state, and the Lees of the latter. She is greatly esteemed as a person of pleasant, social gifts, and charming manners. She is a magnet in all social circles, and a consistent member of the Episcopal Church.
Mr. Hanby is a member of the Methodist Church, and also belongs to the Knights of Honor. His home is in North Birmingham, and is one of the prettiest in the city.
