HANNA, John Andre Obituary
Died in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last, in the 44th year of his age, General John Andre Hanna, for many years a respectable inhabitant of that borough - and on the following day his remains were accompanied to the grave, by perhaps the largest concourse of people ever witnessed in that place on a similar occasion. General Hanna has been, for several years, a representative of this state in the congress of the United States; in which capacity an unremitting attention to the interests of his country, and a firm attachment to the principals of the revolution were honorably recognized by his constituents, in his repeated re-elections to the same important post. But in private life, the character of General Hanna presents still more amiable and interesting pictures; generous, charitable and humane, possessing by nature a benevolent heart; refined an enlarged by the polishing hand of education and an extensive intercourse with mankind. In his family, an affectionate husband, a tender and indulgent parent; in his neighborhood, kind and obliging. [The Centinel, (Gettysburg, PA), August 14, 1805]
