Mr. Hann who was 73 years of age, was born in Walnut township, and with the exception of a few years spent in travel spent his entire life in that township and in Winterset.

The Hanns moved to Winterset 15 years ago and lived for a short time in what is now known as the Ray Eyerly home. Fourteen years ago they bought the Wintrode house on East Jefferson and this place has since been their home. Since coming to Winterset he has been a member of the official board of the local church.
