Mr Hanna who died a number of years ago, was one of the most prominent early residents of New Berlin, where he held numerous public offices.Mrs. Hanna is survived by seven children: Mrs Margaret Arras of Milwaukee; Julia Boh of Crookston MN; James and Dennis of Chicago; Christopher and William at home, and Frank of Pewaukee.

Death of Dennis Hanna On Thursday morning, Mr Dennis Hanna one of the earliest settlers of New Berlin was found near the gravel bank by the Railroad, in this village, senseless and in a dying state. He was taken to the house of Mrs. Casey, near by. Dr. Philler was called and afterwards Dr. Mark's of Milwaukee was sent for and he continued to breathe and that was all, till death came to his relief about eleven o'clock on Saturday. When found he was breathing and nothing more. His face was badly bruised and his skull slightly cracked over the eye. The knuckles on his right hand was badly bruised, showing unmistakable signs of foul play. A coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday and has been continued till the present time. Mr. Hanna was one of the most active politicians in New Berlin he has often been in the office and always filled every position that he has placed in to the entire satisfaction of his friends. He was by nature a great man, a natural genius, a kind and true friend and an unforgettable enemy. He never forgot anything that he ever read or heard of either of his friends or his enemies. He had a keen sense of honor so much so that we are satisfied that he lived and died without a real enemy on earth unless it was HIMSELF.

CITY'S OLDEST RESIDENT DIES
Jacob Harris Succumbs at Age of 98
Death at an early hour today ended the long span of years of Waukesha's oldest resident, Jacob Harris, 98, at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Thomas Russell, 115 Spring Street. Dropsy, coupled with old age, caused his death.
The deceased had been a resident of Waukesha county since 1836 coming here that year with his parents. He was born in New York state, Oct. 30, 1831.
Mr. Harris wove many a story around the early days of Waukesha and took particular interest in telling how people, including himself, would walk to Milwaukee and back for sacks full of bread. He remembered when Waukesha was part of a great expanse of prairie land. So impressed were residents with the flat land, only now and then disturbed by slight rolls, that they called the community Prairieville, the name which clung as late as 1895.
The deceased is survived by Mrs. John Schaeffel, Mrs. Russell, John, William and James Harris all children, of Waukesha: Abe Harris, Wittenberg, Wis., a half brother, Alonzo Kellogg of Milwaukee. There are 20 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.
Funeral services will beheld from the home on Spring street, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in Prairie Home cemetery, Rev. A. L. Drake officiating.
