Mary A. (Daugherty) Hann, an old and highly honored citizen of this county, at a ripe old age was called to her final home on Monday evening, March 27th 1893. She had been quite feeble for a long while, but did not take seriously sick until last Thursday. The immediate cause of her death was hepatic colic.
The funeral was to have been held Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, but was postponed until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, on account of recieving a telegram stating that her daughter, Mrs. John Fowinkle, of Omaha, Nebraska, was coming and would be here on the 4:10 p.m. train, from the south, The funeral was preached by Rev. J.B. Blair at the Baptist church, and the body was interred in the Springdale cemetery.
Mrs. Hann's maiden name was Daugherty, and she was a native of Wayne county, Indiana, where she was born January 1st 1818, and was therefore 75 years, 2 months, and 27 days old at the time of her death. February 23, 1836, she was united in marriage in Wayne county to Benjamin Hann. They moved to this county in 1840 and settled on Eel river. Seven years later they came to Bunker Hill and settled on
a farm southwest of town, where they lived till 1883, when they sold the farm and moved to town.

Mrs Hann joined the Baptist Church while living on the Eel River in 1842 of which she remained a constant, faithful, and exemplary member until she was called hence to her reward. "She cometh to her grave in full age, like as a shock of corn commoeth in its season."
