HANNA. -The following is from The
Wingham Times : •The community was
shocked early Sunday morning when the
news spread of the sudden death of one of
our most highly esteemed residents, in the
person of Mary L. Young, widow of the
late John Fianna, aged seventy years. The
deceased lady had not been feeling well
for some few days prior to her death and
had remained away from the store. On
Saturday she had been in much better
health and retired Saturday evening feel •
ins better than in weeks. She passed
peacefully away during the night and was
found dead by members of the family
earty Sunday morning. 'Mrs. Hanna was
born on •'Gowrie Farm," the Young
homestead in Colborne township. being a
daughter of the late George Young and
Isabella Clark. She spent her early life
in that township. After her marriage in
1909, to the late John Hanna, she moved
to East Wawanosh township, where they
fumed for a few mean and started a store
nn:the 10th concession. Forty-two years
ago the family moved to Wingham and

general mercantile business. in which she
was most successful, the business for
many year, being conducted under the
firm name of Hanna & Co. This most
highly esteemed lady was endowed with
unusual executive ability and largely
through her efforts the business grew to
one of the largest and most sticcensful
retail businesses in Western Ontario. Mrs,
Hanna had frequently expressed the
desire that the end might come when she
was actually in business and her desire
was realized. Her many acts of kindness
endeared her to a large circle of friends
and she will be much rrisfed in the family
circle and in the community. Mrs Hanna
had for long year been a
consistent member of St. Andrew'.
Presbyterian church and rarely missed
a church service. She is survived
by three daughters, Mrs, Robert Allen
and Mize Priscilla, of town, and Miss
Maude of Toronto. and one son. John W..
who has been asociated with his mother
in the business for some years. Her late
husband and a son, George C., passed
away some twelve years ago. Three listen
also survive : Mrs. Thomas Anderson,
Goderich township; Mrs. Thos. Straughan,
Auburn, Mrs. Alex. McKenzie, Kippen.
Two brother.. Alexander Young. Wing -
ham. and James Young Auburn, passed
away atfew years ago. To the bereaved
will be extended ths sincere sympathy of
the community. The funeral was held on
Wednesday afternorm from the family
residence. Edward street. to the family '
plot in the Wingham cemetery.
