Irene (Kintner) Knarr has identified the individuals in
this Hane family photo. The children of John and Elizabeth
Engle Hane are numbered 1-11:
Front row L to R.
1. Alex Hane. Alex lived north of Defiance, Ohio on Banner
School Road. Alex was killed by a runaway horse in a field.
Besides a farmer he was a minister. My cousin, Ila Rose, his
granddaughter said, "They said he preached Hell on Sunday
and raised it the rest of the week." Alex's children: (a)
John Hane, Sherwood. His children and grandchildren: Lois
Baldwin, 19998 Bostater Rd., Defiance, Ohio; Doris Kelly,
Elana Lee Frappier, Eloise McBride, Jim, Billy. (b) Flossie
(Mrs. Sherman) Breininger, Mark Center, Ohio. One child (my
age): Ila Rose Breininger Slough, 108 E. Edgerton St.,
Hicksville, Ohio. Tele: 419-542-7422. One of her two boys
lives on the homeplace on R. 37 between Sherwood and
Hicksville. I think it's the first farm west of the Mark
Center corner on the South side. (c) Stella (Mrs. Lloyd)
Kinzer near Farmer, Ohio. Stella's children are: Betty
Rickenbey, Mary Jane ?, Keith, and Kenneth Kinzer, dec. (d)
Pearl Breininger's children: Richard, dec., John, and Audrey
Rohrs, Twin Rivers, Bryan, Ohio.
In center front row are my great-grandparents: John and
Elizabeth Engle Hane. Married May 12, 1859, parents of six
sons and seven daughters. Lived north of Defiance on Banner
School Road. John was born Feb. 13, 1841 and died on his
80th birthday, 1921. He was born in Coshocton County. In
1871 the family of eight started to Defiance County. After
clearing a home in the forest, he helped organize Banner
School. John enlisted in Co. H, 80th Regiment of the Ohio
volunteer infantry and later was in Sherman's Famous March
to the Sea. Six of his family preceded him in death: His
wife, Elizabeth, March 24, 1904; three sons--John in
infancy; Daniel in 1899; Charles L. in 1908; and two
daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Mulligan, 1890; Anna M.
wife of Clarence Tittle, 1919.
2. Mary M. Hane Kintner, 1861-1932; married Samuel Kintner,
1860-1925. Made their home one mile north of Sherwood, Ohio,
on what is now 127 on east side. Their first home was made
into a granary where crops were stored. I can remember
playing in it--climbing the ladder to the upstairs or loft.
Their second house was very much as it is today except with
porches enclosed. There was also a "summerhouse" built at
the back porch. It had two rooms where grandma could do her
laundry and canning. Also on hot days she'd cook there to
keep the heat out of the house. One night it caught fire and
I happened to see it first from my bedroom window. The
summerhouse was destroyed but the house saved. Grandma
always kept a big box of spools under the stairsteps to
build with and entertain the grandchildren. Grandpa was a
beeman and often came to help my dad. He always had a penny
for me, but I never stayed out long for bees loved to get in
my hair. Gradpa could have a whole swarm of bees on him
without getting stung. Grandpa died when I was five. Their
children were: John Edward (1884-1961); Charles Lincoln
(1886-1983); and Fannie Haggeman.
Back row left to right:
3. Harmon. Ran Colonial Restaurant in Irish Hills, Michigan,
a popular eating place for the rich from Detroit. A dance
hall, secluded by a hill, from the restaurant was another
drawing card. The last I knew the restaurant became a gun
shop. Uncle Harmon had two children. Virgil ran a gas
station across the busy highway from the restaurant. We
visited him in the 1980s. He had one room set aside for
family pictures. This one was a large framed one. He
developed a "Dinosaur Park" after that with a train running
through it. Virgil married a Degler girl and when Virgil
died, few Hanes hear of it. He died of a blood disease in
1991, and is buried at Maple Shade Cemetery in Onsted,
Michigan. Uncle Harmon and Aunt Lillian's other child was
Grace, my age. I usually spent a week at Irish Hills in the
summer but Grace always had to wait tables when they were
busy. Harmon's did have a secluded lake on their farm, but
we never went swimming. Uncle Harmon had asthma so bad he
could scarcely breathe. He was always short of breath and
short-tempered. I never tried to cross his path. Only once
did he aske me to wait tables. Instead of giving me a table
of two, he gave me a round table. I was coached to "serve
from left; pick up on right." My fatal mistake came when I
tried serving a bowl of soup from the right. The young man
had his long legs extened on that side. I spilled some of
the soup and was never asked to wait tables again. I helped
in the kitchen with salads and did more than my share of
washing dishes. Grace died suddenly the first year I was in
college. I was sixteen then and didn't get to go.
4. Clara V. was a teacher and was never married. She made
her home with Harmon's after she retired. I remember her
best down on her hands and knees scrubbing the floors.
5. Uncle Henry was a teacher and a farmer. He lived north of
Defiance. Ila Rose said he was afraid of the banks--probably
after the bank closings in the depression days--so he kept
his money in a burlap sack in the trunk of his car. Uncle
Henry had one daughter, Mabel, also a teacher. She had at
least two boys but do not know her married name. Mabel died
of cancer.
6. Next to Uncle Henry is Annie Tittle. I can remember
mother talking about Annie. I think they may have done
quilting together. She died in 1919, the year before I was
born.
7. Charley was a doctor killed in a horse and buggy accident
while doctoring in Florida. He continued caring for his
patients until infection brought an untimely death. Five
doctors from Defiance went to Florida and served as
pallbearers. He was killed in 1908.
8. Daniel, a teenager, was killed by a bolt of lightning as
he tried to shut a window in a barn in 1899.
9. Mandy married George Hornish who had a glass eye. Aunt
Bertha, mother's sister, stayed in their home and helped in
their declining years. They gave Aunt Bertha a sewing
rocking chair for her work, but the family came and asked to
have it back after Aunt Bertha died. Uncle George and Aunt
Mandy were favorites of mine. They were double cousins of my
folks. Aunt Mandy on Dad's side and Uncle George Hornish on
mother's side.
10. Bertha, Mrs. William Deepe. One of her daughters was
Ruth, Mrs. Eno Hartman, who died in 1990. She ran a beauty
shop and formerly worked at Uhlman's and Charles' clothing
stores in Defiance. Those were two of my mother's favorite
stores to shop in. Ruth was preceded in death by one brother
and three sisters. Ruth's burial was in the Evansport
cemetery.
11. Emma Goddard. It was either Bertha or Emma who raised
Grace Bishop. |

Obituary, Dr. Charles L. Hane. Dr. Hane was born

Ohio. In 1870 he came with his parents to Defiance County.
In 1897 he graduated from the Starling Medical College of
Columbus, Ohio. He married Ida Gunn on May 12, 1898. They

of his nose. He died of Tetanus. Burial was in the Florida
