   REVEREND DWIGHT C. HANNA P.O. Brownsburg, was born near 
Savannah, Ashland county, Ohio, December 7, 1859, and is a 
son of T. Wilson and Amanda M. Hanna. His early life was 
passed upon a farm in an isolated locality, there being no 
neighbors within a considerable distance, and neither store, 
post-office nor church within a radius of five miles. Mr. 
Hanna entered Savannah academy at the age of sixteen, and 
three years later became a freshman at the Wooster 
university, where he graduated in 1883. He entered Princeton 
Theological seminary in the autumn of the same year, and 
completed the usual course in May, 1886. His connection with 
Thompson Memorial church began during the summer of 1885, 
and has continued to this time, the regular installation and 
ordination having occurred June 1, 1886. The vacation of 
1884 was spent at Fannettsburg, Franklin county, Pa., as a 
tutor. It was meant that the quiet seclusion of that retired 
locality should be remembered only as such, but the event 
proved otherwise. Here Mr. Hanna formed the acquaintance of 
Miss Laura B. Typer, with whom he was united in marriage 
September 1, 1886.
