   JAMES H. HANNA, Justice of the Peace and attorney at law, was born in
Jefferson County, Ind., in 1845. His parents, Alexander A. and Rachel (Matthews)
Hanna, were married in 1842, came to Greene County, Ind., some twelve years
later, and were the parents of six children, all living but one. James H. was
raised a farmer, and on the breaking-out of the rebellion volunteered his
services in the cause of his country, and was honorably discharged for
disability at the end of two years and eight months. He was a member of Company
E, Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and was a valiant participant in the
battles of New Madrid, Island No. 10, Iuka, Corinth, Jackson and through the
siege of Vicksburg, where, owing to the hardships of the siege, health failed,
and was the cause of his discharge. Since the war, he has been extensively
engaged in school teaching and other educational matters. Mr. Hanna is a
Republican and was united in marriage with Miss Emma V. Smith in 1874.
