Author: History of Grundy County, 1914

Hahn, George Leonard, owner of 212½ acres of fine land in Good Farm Township, 
is one of the most successful farmers of Grundy County, and one who has proven 
his right to the title through years of persistent endeavor.  He was born at 
Galesburg, Ill., a son of Leonard and Barbara (Missinburger) Hahn, both 
natives of Germany, who located at Galesburg, Ill., later coming to Good Farm 
Township, where they died and were buried.  They had five children.

George Leonard Hahn was educated in Good Farm Township where he grew to 
manhood amid rural surroundings.  When he began farming for himself, he rented 
land, but eventually was able to purchase his present property which has 
become very valuable.  On it he carries on general farming with profit to 
himself and benefit to his community.  In 1884 Mr. Hahn married Anna Bush, and 
they became the parents of seven children:  Laura, Edna, Lena, Lillie, Sophia, 
Walter and Arnold.  The Lutheran Church holds his membership and has his 
effective support of both time and money.  A democrat he has served as school 
director of Good Farm Township for some time, and is interested in educational 
matters.  An excellent farmer and good citizen, he is highly esteemed by his 
associates.
