HANNA TOWNSHIP.
Hanna township comprises all that part of township, 33 and 34 north, that lies in La Porte county, and, next to Union, it is the largest township in the county. It is a part of the territory that was detached from Starke county.
The first settlement in this township was made by Emanuel Metz in 1837, immediately followed by Andrew Chambers. The next settler was N. N. West and family, who came in the fall of 1838. Lemiah Pratt came in 1839. Others came about the same time, but did not remain long. When these men settled here the pros- pects were not very inviting, although they made their homes be- yond the Kankakee marshes. They were on the high land across which the P., Ft. W. & C. railroad is constructed; but near the river it was one continuous marsh, and every rise of the river completely inundated the land for miles around, and it was so miry that it was utterly impassable with a team or horse. But they had hope for the future, and diligently labored to make comfortable homes for themselves and families. Their settlement was isolated, and neigh- borly ties were strong among them. Even tenderer ties arose be- tween Amsterdam Stewart and Susan Metz, which resulted in marriage, being the first incident of that sort that occurred in the township.
At that time the "red men" of the forest, or rather of the swamp, were more numerous than the whites. They had a " trading post " on " Bone Island," which is situated on sec. 12 at the mouth of Mill creek. The above-named island was so called from the many bones of wild animals that had been slain there by the Indians. The Kankakee valley was at that time noted for being very thickly infested with wild animals, and the Indian hunters frequently visited there in search of game.
For several years the settling of that region was slow. N. S. Rowley and family settled there in 1846; J. A. Hyatt and S. P. Mills settled at an early period near Chambers' Landing. After- ward the Wills brothers moved into the township.
Among the leading farmers are Thos. Mitchell, J. W. Osborn, David Wills, Clark R. Richards, S. P. Mills and W. H. West.
The only village in the township is Hanna. It is situated on the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago railroad, and contains a popula- tion of about 300. There are two merchants, Geo. S. Denison and J. T. Kiel; two blacksmith shops, one shoe shop, one hay press, owned by Geo. S. Denison, the merchant. During the season of 1880 he pressed 1,000 tons. The village also contains two ware- houses, depot and station house, and express office. Isaac T. Lloyd

is freight agent, postmaster and telegraph operator. This village was laid out in 1858 by Win. Taylor. The first house was built a short time before. The first store was opened by Adam Vinnege, who has since removed to Plymouth. Jackson Chambers opened the next store about 1860, and Sept. 1, 1865, Mr. Denison opened a large store, and since has done a large business.
There are three school-honses in the township. The one at Hanna is a large two-story frame. A graded school is held in the upper story, and the basement serves for a church. As there is no church edifice in the township, all religious services are held in the school-house.
Three-fourths of the land of this township is Kankakee marsh, though much of it is under cultivation. The land is of a sandy loam and proves to be of an excellent quality. Those portions which are too wet for cultivation produce an abundance of grass, which is manufactured into hay and finds a ready sale in all the markets. The marsh lands are also valuable for pasture. Thus the outlook for the future prosperity and wealth of Hanna township is good.
PERSONAL.
As biographical sketches of old residents and leading citizens will best constitute the rest of the history of the township, we proceed now to give them.
