Hannah is the daughter of Perez Steele and Hannah Simmons. She is my 4th great-grandmother.
Hannah Steele married Albert Hubbard May 21, 1818 in Windham, NY by Rev. Henry B. Stimson. In 1854 they moved from Mt. Morris, NY to Spring Prairie, WI where they resided until their death.
Her obituary says that in the last hours of her life "she made arrangements for the last sad rites and amongst them the loving request that her sons should bear her remains to their final resting place".
This is the poem at the end of her obituary:
Mother, no strangers hands shall bear thy form away,
No careless ones convey thee to they rest;
But these, thy sons, the last loved tribute pay,
To lay thee on thy Savior's breast.
Mother, did you leave the portal open,
When you reached those heavenly lands,
And shall we when life is over,
Clasp in Heaven our parent's hands?
