From Funeral Card:
Frank Hahn, born George Franklin Hahn, Jr., on February 28, 1907, at Palmer, Kansas, died peacefully at his home in Phillipsburg on Thursday, April 25, 1996, at the age of 89. He was the youngest of three surviving children of homesteading parents, and the first born in a fram house instead of a sod house. Franklin, as he was then known, graduated from Smith Center High School in 1925, where he played football and basketball.
Frank moved to Phillipsburg, following graduation from Topeka's Washburn College and Law School and subsequent admission to the bar as a lawyer in 1931. Soon after on September 1, 1933, he and Doris E. Hettick, whom he met at Washborn, were married. He served both as Phillips County Attorney and Phillipsburg City Attorney for a number of years. He was highly respected as a lawyer, was a member and past president of the Northwest Kansas Bar Association, and a life member of the Washburn University Law School Association and Washburn Endowment Association.
As a member of the United Methodist Church of Phillipsburg, Frank gave freely of his time and talents. He served as Lay Leader for three terms, as chairman of the Williams Hall Building Committee, as delegate to Annual Conferences numerous times, and in many other official and unofficial positions. As chief supporter of his wife, Doris, he assisted with the church choir Rose Festivals, sponsored the Youth Bell Choir members to festivals across the United States and to Methodist Youth Fellowship conferences.
Frank and Doris traveled worldwide with the People to People Tours as a couple. Traveling to all 50 states and every continent except Antartica. They thoroughly enjoyed the travel and meeting the diversity of people. They made many friends along the way and opened their home to visitors from all over the globe.
Friends,fishing, bird hunting with the family, and gardening were among Franks special interests. His children and grandchildren were very special to him and he delighted in going to all their activities and being the unofficial coach and cheerleader for all.
Frank is survived by his wife Doris, with whom he celebrated 61 years of marriage last September; three children and their families, eight grandchildren, and several g. grandchildren.
Frank's quite strength, intelligence, courtesy, integrity, and generosity, will truly be remembered by his family, his church, his clients, and his many friends.
