John S.
Hanley was born at the farm home near Roaring Springs, Blair Co., Pa., September
27, 1842, and died at Buda, Illinois, Nov. 6, 1914, aged 72 years, 1 month and
9 days. His parents were Christian and Barbara Snowberger Hanley, who have both
preceded him to the spirit world. Three sisters and one brother survive him.
They are Mrs. Susan Kurtz and Mrs. Margaret Hite, of Roaring Springs, Pa., Mrs.
Frances Markey, of Hollidaysburg, Pa., and Andrew Hanley, of Sharpsburg, Pa.
Mr.
Hanley enlisted in the army for the Civil War, August 9, 1864, for one year,
and served in the "Army of the Potomac." He was called into active
service in the campaign before Richmond, was engaged in the battle of
Petersburg, and other points in Virginia and vicinity.
He was
honorably discharged at the close of the war, June 8, 1865.
In
company with his brother Jacob, he came to Illinois in the spring of 1866, and
engaged in farming in Macon township near Buda, and continued in this vocation
until his removal to Buda in 1889.
He was
married to Miss Christina Carper December 31, 1868. To them was born one daughter,
Emma, now Mrs. Alva Ewing.
In early
life Brother Hanley became a member with his parents of the German Reformed
church, but he dated his Christian experience from the time of his conversion
during a series of revival services conducted by Rev. W.B. Allen, at Bunker
Hill, in the winter of 1872. He then united with the Church of God at Bunker
Hill and has continued a most devoted and faithful member, at all times
engaging earnestly in all the activities of the church and liberally supporting
all its interests with his means. He has been a veritable "Pillar" of
the church where he will be sadly missed. He was for many years a Ruling Elder
in the local church and frequently represented the church in the state
conference of the Illinois Eldership.
The surviving
members of his immediate family are his wife and daughter Emma, her husband and
two children, Ralph and Myrtle.
He died
in the triumphs of the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in bright assurance
of the hope of the gospel.
Mr.
Hanley had been in failing health for more than a year but especially the last
six months his decline had been steady and rapid. The nature of the illness was
primarily, disease of the kidneys resulting in Bright's disease with the usual
complications of heart and liver. He received all the care and attention that
skillful doctors and loving hearts could devise, but in vain.
Mr.
Hanley still enjoyed the zest of living and clung to life with a strong grip.
The first knowledge of his serious physical condition came to him as a heavy
blow and relative conditions were very hard to endure. But when fully convinced
that this was his Heavenly Father's will, he bowed in humble submission, and
the refrain of his sick room under any and all circumstances was, "It is
all right," "I am ready and willing to go." While he suffered
little acute pain, the conditions were such as to preclude scarcely a moment's
rest during the period he was confined to his bed -- nearly two weeks.
Miss
Spencer, a graduate nurse from the Proctor Training School of Peoria, was his
constant attendant during the last week and rendered all the aid a skillful and
sympathetic nurse could give.
The
funeral services were held at the church at Bunker Hill at 11:00 a.m. Monday,
November 9, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.W. Smith. By special request of
Mrs. Hanley, the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mrs. M.B. Newcomer, his
former pastor and co-worker in the church at this place. The burial was in the
Bunker Hill cemetery.
The large
concourse of people in attendance at the funeral gave testimony to the high
respect and esteem in which Mr. Hanley was held by his former neighbors and
fellow townsmen.
Those
attending from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. D. Klinefelter, Mr. Henry Miller,
Mr. L. Kreiser and daughter, of Mendota, Mrs. Meyers and Miss Winter, of Malden
and Miss Spencer, of Peoria.

years they traveled life's journey happily together as man and wife. The father
was born May 5, 1811, and the mother was born in June, 1822. His life was
devoted to agricultural pursuits and for many years he served as supervisor of
roads, doing much to improve the public highways in his locality. Both he and
his wife were members of the Dunkard church and died in that faith, Mr. Hanley
passing away in Taylor township, Blair county, September 1, 1885 [1895 - ed.],
while his wife survived until October 7, 1904. They had become the parents of
eleven children, of whom seven are now living:
Christina [Frances - ed.], the wife of Christ Markey, of Blair county,
Pennsylvania; Susan, who is the widow of Peter Kurtz and lives in the same
county; Margaret, the wife of Peter Hite, of Blair county; John S., of Buda,
Illinois; Jacob; David C., living in Blair county, Pennsylvania; and Andrew S.,
whose home is in Blair county.
No event of
special importance occurred to vary the routine of farm life for Jacob Hanley
in the days of his boyhood and youth. He worked in the fields when not occupied
with the duties of the schoolroom and early became familiar with the methods
then in vogue of carrying on the task of plowing, planting and harvesting. In
1866 he came to Bureau county, Illinois, and 1871 he began farming on his own
account. In the fall of 1874 he purchased eighty acres of land, to which he has
since added until he is today the owner of two hundred and seventy-six acres of
valuable land in Macon township, of which twenty-three acres is covered with
timber. In 1899 he built the greater part of the residence which he now
occupies, having in that year erected all of the newer portion. He has modern
equipments upon his place that facilitate the work of the fields and everything
about his farm is in keeping with ideas of progressive agriculture. He makes a
specialty of the raising of black Galloway cattle.
In early
manhood Mr. Hanley responded to the country's call for military aid and on the
13th of February, 1865, joined Company B of the One Hundred and Ninety-second
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, to serve for a year or during the war. He
was at the front until August 24, 1865, when he received an honorable
discharge.
On
Christmas day of 1873 he was married to Miss Catharine Horton, who was born in
Bedford county, Pennsylvania, August 31, 1847, a daughter of Eli and Mary (Hamilton)
Horton, who were likewise natives of the same county, the former born April 14,
1824, and the latter December 23, 1823. On the 4th of November, 1854, Mr.
Horton came to Illinois, settling in Macon township, where he first farmed
forty acres of land, living in a log cabin. He was one of the earliest settlers
of Macon township and aided in reclaiming the wild land for the uses of
civilization. Later he bought more land from time to time and built a frame
house, in which he and his wife spent their remaining days, his attention being
successfully given to general farming. He served as a school director for a
number of years and he stood for general progress and improvement along many
lines. He held membership in Buda lodge, A.F. & A.M., and he also belonged
to the Methodist Episcopal church, of which his wife was a member. He voted
with the whig party until its dissolution and then joined the ranks of the
republican party, on whose ticket he was elected road commissioner, while for a
considerable period he served as school director. He passed away April 24,
1894, and was survived by his wife until the 15th of February, 1898. They had a
family of eight children, of whom five are yet living: Mrs. Hanley; Allen, of Princeton; Thomas, of
Wyanet township; Lavica, the wife of Jefferson Osborn, of Clay county,
Nebraska; and Charity B., the wife of Ilet Couch, of Keith county, Nebraska.
By their
marriage Mr. and Mrs. Hanley have become the parents of five children, of whom
four still survive: Eva May, born in
April, 1876; William E., February 8, 1878; Chester G., March 4, 1880; and Lena
E., born March 3, 1884.
In
connection with his other business interests Mr. Hanley is one of the directors
of the Neponset and Macon townships Farmers' Insurance Company, with which he
has thus been associated for the past twenty years. He has served as school
director for the past eighteen years and for six years has been road
commissioner, filling the position at the present time. No public trust reposed
in him has ever been betrayed in the slightest degree. On the contrary he is
true to all his duties and obligations of citizenship as well as of private
life. He belongs to Buda lodge, No. 575, I.O.O.F., and to Emory post, No. 198,
G.A.R., of Buda, and through the latter he maintains pleasant relations with
his old army comrades. Such is the life history of Jacob Hanley, a man secure
in the esteem of his fellowmen by reason of the many excellent traits which he
has displayed and by his devotion to a high standard of principles.

But few
in the community even knew of the serious illness of Jacob Hanley before he
passed away Saturday morning about three o'clock.
He had
not been well for some time but his acute illness with grip and complications
lasted only a week. It was a great shock to relatives and friends when he
succumbed so suddenly but doubtless his physical make-up had been weakened by
insidious disease more than was realized.
When it
was seen that the end was near the children who were not at home were summoned
and all reached his bedside before he passed away.
Jacob
Hanley was born July 25, 1844 at Roaring Springs, Pennsylvania and died at
Buda, Illinois, Jan. 11, 1913, being 68 years, 5 months and 16 days of age at
the time of his death. His parents were Christian and Barbara Hanley and he was
the fifth in a family of eleven children, seven sons and four daughters, five
of the brothers and sisters surviving him. They are John S., of Buda, Ill.;
Mrs. Susan Kurtz and Mrs. Margaret Hite, of Roaring Springs, Penn.; Andrew, of
Sharpsburg, Penn.; and Mrs. Frances Markey, of Hollidaysburg, Penn.
He
attended the common school of his home township and at the age of twenty years
he enlisted in Co. B, 192 Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He served
in this company from February, 1865 to August, 1865, the close of the war.
In the
spring of 1866 he came to Macon Township, Bureau County, Illinois to work as a
farm hand. This continued to be his home and by his industry and frugality he
was able to enter upon farming and stock raising on his own account, meeting
with good success. Only a month ago he and his wife moved from their farm in
Macon to Buda, retiring from the active duties of many years.
In 1872
he was converted and united with the Mt. Pleasant M.E. church, later
transferring his membership to the M.E. church in Buda and remained a faithful
member with this church until his death.
On
December 25, 1873 he was united in marriage to Miss Catharine Horton who lives
to mourn his passing. To them five children were born, one dying in infancy.
The others are Eva May, William E., Chester G. and Lena E. Olson, all living in
or near Buda.
Mr.
Hanley had been an Odd Fellow since June 6, 1875 and was also a member of the
G.A.R. Post.
During his
residence in Macon Township he held various offices of trust, as road
commissioner for nine years, school director for eighteen years and was always
ready to help for the public good.
The
funeral was conducted by Rev. Tilton at the Buda M.E. church Monday afternoon
and the building was taxed to accommodate those who gathered to pay their
tribute of respect. Members of the G.A.R. were present as were also the
I.O.O.F. who conducted their funeral service at the burial at Bunker Hill
cemetery.
Those
present from a distance were Mrs. Susan Kurtz, Mrs. Margaret Hite and Miss
Minnie Hite, of Roaring Springs, Penn.; Jacob Markey, of Eldorado, Penn.; Mr.
and Mrs. T.J. Osborne, of Eldorado, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Horton and family,
of Princeton; Dr. W.C. Hannawalt, of Galesburg and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Toppert,
of Prophetstown.

And

The soul is
