JOHN GEORGE HAHN

John George Hahn, ca. 1880-1887 (Photo to be improved. Editor)
 

The back of the photo reads: A. C. Hammerly Photographer, Millerstown, Butler Co., Penna. P. O. Address, Barnhart's Mills, PA. Because John G. Hahn was at that place in the 1880 census, he was at least 62 years old in this photograph. His died in Bay City, Bay County, Michigan in 1887. Because we do not know when he went to Bay City, this photograph could have been taken after 1880 and before 1887, between the ages of about 62 to 69. Thomas Hahn has the original image.

 John George Hahn was born at Stuttgart, Württemberg, Bavaria, Germany about 1818. (Edward O. Hahn Notes and 1870 Census which see below) He was probably known earlier as Johan(n). Nothing is known of his family, his childhood, or his education. We do not know when he emigrated to the United States or whether or not he emigrated with his parents and/or other family members, or for what reason. In Immigrates to America, 1600-1800s Immigration Records, p.238 from Genealogy.com, there is an entry for a John G. Hahn, age 13, male, from Germany to the USA and "Date of Arrive" as 30Sep32q.  The first record we have found for the John G. Hahn we know as "ours"  in the  United States was in 1848-1849, when he began a term as a Reformed German Evangelical Lutheran minister at the St. Paul's Lutheran Evangelical Church in Millerstown Borough (Chicora), Donegal Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.. ("Millerstown Borough," Chapter 43, History of Butler County Pennsylvania, 1895,  p. 15)

This view of the Town of Chicora was taken from the Hemphill Cemetery in 2001. The church to the left in the background is the German Lutheran Church with which John Hahn was associated and the church on the right in the English German Church. John Hahn's daughter, Christene (Dieter) Hahn was buried in this cemetery and it is possible that John's spouse, Mary Ann Ellenberger was buried there as well.  (The photo was provided by Vonda Moore.)                                                                           

On 15 November 1850, John applied for United States citizenship. In 1851, he married Mary Ann Ellenberger, who was born on 12 January 1829 at Sherrett, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. We cannot find him in the 1850 Federal Census for Pennsylvania, possibly because he was not a citizen of the United States. In 1853, John finished his term as a the minister of the pastor of the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church  in Millerstown Borough (Chicora), Donegal Township, Butler County Pennsylvania. On 16 April 1853, his daughter Margaret/Margarhetta Hahn was born in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. Although it is assumed that John and Mary Ann lived in Butler County, where he preached, his spouse, Mary Ann, may have returned home Sherrett in Armstrong County to have her daughter, Margaret/Margarhetta. John  was naturalized in Butler County on what appears to  be 13 October 1853. It is not known where -- or if -- he preached next. His son, Paul Nicholas Hahn, said that there were fourteen children in the family, that he was the last of the fourteen children, and that eleven of the children lived to maturity. We do not know the names of the children that died early. Paul said that the children were born in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, places where John Hahn had preached. Daughter Matilda Hahn was born in Pennsylvania in 1855. Daughter Bertha Hahn was born on 13 October 1857 at Melan, Ripley County, Indiana.  Daughter Emma M. Hahn was born on 11 August 1858  at Sandusky, Ohio. Daughter Christene Christiana [?] Hahn was born on 17 May 1861 at Sandusky, Ohio.  On 31 March 1864, son Christian "Chris" Frederick Hahn was born at Swan Creek (now Anchorville), St. Clair County, Michigan. On  5 June 1866, daughter Mary Louise Hahn was born at Swan Creek (now Anchorville), St. Clair County, Michigan. On 4 March 1868, son John G. Hahn was born at Swan Creek (now Anchorville), St. Clair County, Michigan. On 1 August 1869, Edward G. Hahn was born at Roseville, Erin Township, Macomb County, Michigan (a part of Detroit). The communities of Swan Creek and Roseville were some thirty miles apart. The John G. Hahn Family appears in the 1870 Census at Roseville, Warren Township, Macomb County, Michigan.

Census: 1850, US, Pennsylvania, Butler County, Fairview Township, LDS Film 0200610, National Archives Microcopy 432, Roll 760, but could not find Hahn. Daughter Margherita Hahn was born in 1853 in Armstrong County. Searched Donegal Township and Fairview Township in Butler County and Sugar Creek Township in Armstrong County with no success. Where is John G. Hahn? Perhaps as an emigrant alien he was not enumerated?

Census: 1860, US, Ohio, Sandusky: Daughter Emma M. Hahn was born in Sandusky, Ohio in 1858 and daughter Christene Christiana Hahn was born there in 1861, so it seemed likely that the Hahn's would be there in the 1860 census. However, I could not find them there or anywhere in the 1860 census. Although there is a chance I missed something, there is the possibility that they were somehow missed in this census. A search of Sandusky might be productive if anyone has the time. Otherwise, I will have to wait until some service indexes the 1860 Federal Census.

It is not known when the family moved to Peachville (present Buena Vista), Fairview Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where his son, Paul N. Hahn, was born on 16 September 1876.  It is not known how long the Hahns were at Peachville, but they appear at "Barnhart's Mill" Post Office, Fairview [Donegal] Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania in the 1880 census for that place.  On 27 May 1872, son August Christophorous Hahn was born at Roseville, Erin Township, Macomb County, Michigan. According to Descendant Stan Hahn, great-grandson of John George Hahn, he died at Bay City, Michigan in 1887. We do not know why he was in Bay City, but perhaps he was living with one of his children. The only child who appears to have lived in Michigan was Matilda Hahn, married to Frank Lee. It is not known where Mary Ann Ellenberger died or where. She might have been buried in the Fair Cemetery with her parents, John Ellenberger and her mother Elizabeth Fair, in presently unmarked graves or she might have been buried in the Hemphill Cemetery, Chicora, Butler County, Pennsylvania. where their daughter Christene (Hahn) Dieter is buried. It appears that Christene was the only one of the children who remained in Pennsylvania. A key to the burial place may be wherever Enos Ellenberger is buried as he was living next to them in the 1880 census.

John G. Hahn's neighbor in the 1880 census at Dwelling 418, was Enos Ellenberger age 39, Mary Ann Ellenberger's younger brother.  In addition to the Heritage Quest Online image, there is an LDS Film 1255109, vol. 19, 177-754, enumeration date 18 June 1880, p. 43, Dwelling 419 that is suppose to be a John G. Hahn entry. I have a note that says there is a John G. Hahn on "line 17" that has a John G. Hahn age 92, in which case he would have been born about 1788. Is there such an entry? If so, could this be his father? An uncle? Line 17 in this entry is also the line that says than John G. Hahn is age 62, so the age 92 seems unlikely.

The children of John George Hahn and Mary Ann Ellenberger were:

Hahn Family Photo Album referred to below and owned by descendant Dorothy (Wheat) Stockdale of Edina, Minnesota, most of the undated images were described by Paul Nicholas Hahn, son of John G. Hahn. The relationships are described with relationship to Paul Hahn. We hope to be able to add these images to this site one day.]
1. Margaret/Margarett/Margarhetta "Maggie" Hahn was born On 16 April 1853 in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.  She married Frank Lee. Census: 1870 US, Michigan, Wayne County, Ward 6, First Precinct, Roseville Post Office. But note, she was also found with the George J. Hahn Family in this census at Roseville, Warren Township, Macomb County, Michigan, Line 5. Hahn, Margarett. Age 15 [1855]. Female. White. At Home. Born Pennsylvania. Father foreign born. It seems that she was counted twice. Their children were: Edward "Ed" or "Eddie" Lee, Daisy Lee (married Walter Webber), and Birdie [that is Bertha] Lee.

2.  Matilda Hahn was born in Pennsylvania in 1855. Nothing further has been found about her. Her image was not identified in the John G. Hahn photo album.

3.  Bertha Hahn was born on 13 October 1857 at Melan, Ripley County, Indiana. She was in the 1870 Census, US, Michigan, Macomb County, Warren Township, Roseville Post Office. [In the Family of George John Hahn], Dwelling 35, Family 35] Line 9. Hahn, Bertha. Age 13. Female. White. At Home. Born Indiana. Attended school within the year.

She married William Turner. They had a son, Gleason Turner. (Edward O. Hahn Notes) Bertha was in the Census: 1930 US MO, Jackson County, Kansas City. [In the family of her brother, August C. Hahn at 3131 Olive Street, Dwelling 40, Family 34. Bertha is listed as Family 35, crossed out.] Line 73 Turner, Bertha D. Sister. Did not live on a farm. Widow. Able to read and write. Born Indiana. Father born Germany. Mother born Pennsylvania. Bertha died in 1936, probably Kansas City, Missouri, and was buried next to her brother, Christian F. Hahn, in the Hahn Family plot in the East Lawn Section of the Fairlawn Cemetery, a part of Mt. Hope Cemetery, Topeka, Kansas. She is not noted in the John G. Hahn Family Album, but identified were nephew Gleason Turner, Delbert Turner and wife, Gleason Turner, brother-in-law William Turner, Grandpa Turner [probably her father-in-law], of Belton, Missouri, and Joe Lytle, Bertha's brother-in-law, as well as Aunt Lizzie Lytle, Claude Lytle, and Herbert Lytle, whose relationship is not known.

Florence (Torgeson) Hahn, the wife of Walter Hahn. nephew of Bertha. had this to say of her in a 1982 letter from Florence to her son, Tom Hahn:

Guess your article on dishes made me think, and I didn want a plate from any of the 3 sets of dishes I have so I got out one from Aunt Bertha gave me a very old one called "The Indian Tree," has a sprongly [spraggily?] tree of blossoms, and little bunches of fruits and blossoms around the rim of plate, it isnt a thin China. Do you remember Aunt Bertha . She was a widow and lived in K.C. and kept house for an old couple, and the year we lived in K.C. [1928?] when you were 2 yrs she would come see me on her day off and would bring little tidbits of fancy nuts, like cashews etc which were unusual for ordinary folks in those days. and other bits of other food wrap[ped] in little bundles and just enough for me. And then after she quit working and we were back in Topeka she came to visit all we Hahns. She was grandpa Hahns, I think oldest sister. we girls called her Aunt Bert, her husband had been dead a good many years before we got [married] into the family and her request was she wanted to be buried here by Grandpa H. and I cant remember if she went after he did. Of course when she lived in KC. she had Uncle Gus and Aunt Nellie etc to visit with. She had young ideas and didnt dress like an old lady. the way old ladies dressed then. So she gave e the India Tree plate and I treasured it and much of the time it is on the Hutch and she gave me the metal tray I set the toaster on all the time and I sat a long time looking at it and thinking about the Past, that is an old ladies privilege.
 

4.  Emma M. Hahn was born on 11 August 1858  at Sandusky, Ohio. In the Census: 1870 US, Michigan, Macomb County, Warren Township, Roseville Post Office, p. 5 Dwelling 35, Family 35. Line 3. [In the family of her father, Hahn, George J., that is, John G. Hahn]: Line 8. Hahn, Emma. Age 15. Female. White. Born Ohio. Attended school within the year. Father foreign born. she married Peter "Pete" Evans and had a child Monica. (E. O. Hahn) She is in the John G. Hahn photo album and identified as Emma Hahn (Evans) and also as Emma Evans, husband Pete, and daughter Monica, of Detroit, Michigan. [One cannot tell whether or not all of hem are from Detroit, or just daughter Monica.] Emma married on 17 September 1905 in Wyandotte County, Kansas, Charles L. Layman. (Marriage Record at Wyandotte Co. Historical Museum)

5. Christene Christiana [?] Hahn was born on 17 May 1861 at Sandusky, Ohio. Christine Dieter's children, Mary, Carl, Bertha, Lee Emma, were identified in the John G.

6. Christian "Chris" Frederick Hahn was born on 31 March 1864 at Swan Creek (now Anchorville), St. Clair County, Michigan. The data of Chris Hahn was transferred to Christian "Chris" Frederick Hahn Family Page on 4 August 2004.

7.  Mary Louise Hahn was born on  5 June 1866, at Swan Creek (now Anchorville), St. Clair County, Michigan.

8.  John G. Hahn was born on 4 March 1868 at Swan Creek (now Anchorville), St. Clair County, Michigan. Brother John Hahn, wife Amanda, and sons Lester and Ernest and daughters, Bessie and Esther, were identified in the John G. Hahn Family Album.

9.  Edward G. Hahn was born on 1 August 1869, at Roseville, Erin Township, Macomb County, Michigan (a part of Detroit). The communities of Swan Creek and Roseville were some thirty miles apart. He was identified as Edward as a Lutheran Minister and as Ed and Helena in the John G. Hahn Family Album.

10. Augustus 'Gus" Christophorus Hahn was born  on 27 May 1872 at Roseville Post Office, Erin Township, Macomb County, Michigan. His nickname was "Gus."

Gus's sister-in-law, Mattie Hahn, spouse of his brother, Chris Hahn, Christian F. Hahn told Thomas F. Hahn (Chris Hahn's grandson) in the 1930s that Gus Hahn lived with them. She said she sewed marbles in his pants so he wouldn't wear them out at the knees. It is possible that the story was about his brother, Paul, but it is possible likely that both Gus and Paul lived with the Chris Hahn family. Gus would have been about 14 and Paul about 10 when they married in 1886. Gus died in 1964 at about age ninety. Gus married Amelia "Nellie" Scott. She was born in Germany.  Their children were:
   a. Ralph Hahn
  b. Edith Hahn was born on 27 May 1907. She married George Ragman. Their son was Larry.
   c. Ray A. Hahn married Martha Lou ("MarLou"). Their children were Dick, Marilyn, Nancy; Roy married Dorothy Boyce, son Tommy.

The latter may be a "boarder or a lodger. He is not in the 1930 Ancestry.com census index for Missouri, so he is probably still in Kansas, although from the 1930s he lived at Kansas City, Missouri.

11. Paul Nicholas Hahn was born  on 16 September 1876 at Peachville (now Buena Vista), Butler County, Pennsylvania. Marguerite Hahn (spouse of Vernon Hahn, son of Paul, Christian Hahn's brother) wrote in a letter to Thomas F. Hahn on 11 November 1995: "He [Paul] always said he was the last of 14 children...His mother (or maybe it was his father) died when he was 7 yrs old and the other passed when he was 13. Evidently there wasn't anyone to care for him in Pennsylvania and he came to Ks. and lived with Uncle Chris and Aunt Mattie. Paul married Eva L. Miller. Their children:
   a. Elma, was born in November 1905. She married Roy Wheat. He died on 14 August 1999. Their children are Kelles and Dorothy. Kelles married Jo Ann Winters. Their children are Renee and Roy.
