General Notes: Husband - John Hanby

---

The cemetery book gives the year of his birth as 1835. Another source states he was born in 1844, but this seems unlikely.

He was educated in the public school, and grew up a farmer. His father gave him part of the Venango County farm and he resided there for many years, but prior to his death sold the property. He was a Republican in politics, and both he and wife were members of the Church of God.

General Notes: Wife - Jane Turk

---

She was from Venango County, Pennsylvania, of Dutch descent. Her par­ents moved to Crawford County, Wisconsin, where they died.
