   Earl Hahn, plumbing, steam and gas fitting, with an establishment at No. 151
North Emporia avenue, Wichita, Kan., is a native of Kentucky, where he was born,
in Washington county, on November 27, 1869. His parents were William and Mary A.
(Dinsmore) Hahn, natives of Kentucky. The Hahns are of German descent and the
Dinsmores English. The elder Hahn was a chair maker by trade and died at the age
of eighty-four. His widow died at the age of eighty-six. Earl Hahn was the
youngest of a family of eleven children, six girls and five boys, of whom five
are still living. He was educated at the public schools of his native town and
in 1887 came to Wichita. A year later he began to learn the plumbing business,
entering the employ of the Wichita Plumbing Company. At the end of four years
the business was purchased by Glaze & Buckridge, and Mr. Hahn continued in the
employ of this firm for five years, when the business again changed hands and
was purchased by the firm of Bertram & Bertram. Mr. Hahn continued with this
firm for another period of five years, when he embarked in business for himself,
and organized the firm of Bosworth, Hahn & Co., their place of business being at
No. 127 North Market street. At the end of two years they removed the business
to No. 152 North Market street, where the firm continued for seven years. Mr.
Hahn then sold his interest and continued in business for himself, locating his
establishment at No. 151 North Emporia avenue, where he has conducted a
successful business since 1907. Mr. Hahn is a member of the Masonic order and
the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He was maried in 1881, to Miss Anna
Buellow, a native of Berlin, Germany, then a resident of Ellis county, Kansas.
Of this union four children have been born, viz.: Cecil, Lucille, Frances and
Arthur Earl Hahn.
