ROME - Mrs. O. C. Harrington. 123 Stanwix Street, on Sunday received a telegram announcing the death of her brother, Major Harrison Hannahs of Denver, Colo., from pneumonia, at 9:30 p. m. on Saturday, Feb. 25. Major Hannahs, who on Feb. 18, celebrated his 79th birthday anniversary, a few days prior had delivered a historical address at the 40th anniversary of the Washburn College at Topeka, Kan. He felt well, his voice was strong and clear and in a talk that lasted nearly an hour filled the large hall to the corners. He received the heartiest congratulations from the college professors not only on the manner of the delivery but for the excellence of the address. The major always felt a paternal interest in Washburn College as he was one of the three founders. In 1902 it conferred on him the degree of Master of Arts.
Major Hannahs was born in Marcy on Feb. 18, 1832, on the farm of his father. James Watson Hannahs. He was educated in the public school at Marcy, and later attended the Whitestown Seminary, in those days one of the most noted educational institutions in this vicinity, later he was graduated from the Albany Normal College. He taught school in Palmyra and at Rock Island, IL, in 1855-6.
In 1886 he went to Kansas with a party of six free state men to help make Kansas a free state.
In 1858 in Marcy the subject of this sketch was married to Elisabeth Helen Pease, daughter of Truman Pease, the bride and groom having been schoolmates.
In 1862 he enlisted as a volunteer in the service of his country at Kansas and the next year went on to General Ewing's staff as major and acting assistant adjutant general. He was located in Missouri during the war and at its close was mustered out at St. Louis. About 1868 he came to Rome to reside.
Up to 1892 he conducted a dry goods and notion store in Rome, first on N. James Street opposite the post office and later on W. Dominick Street on the southerly side, west of the Farmers National Bank.
Major Hannahs's first wife died in 1862 and in 1880 he was married to Margaret Frances Davison, who with two daughters survive: Mrs. Thomas E. Watters of Denver, Colo. and Miss Elizabeth Helen Hannahs of Brooklyn. Mrs. Harrington, sister of Major Hannahs, is the sole surviving member of his family...
