George Loper Hahn, 88, 11810 W. 57th Terrace, Shawnee, Kan., died Saturday at 1:54 p.m. in Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Merriam, Kan.
Born in Fairfield, Ind., he was a son of Lewis and Elnora Loper Hahn. He received his education in the schools of that area.
April 25, 1915 he married Anna Maria Gesell, and she died Dec. 5, 1964.
In 1917, George bought a "Prospector's Ticket" that took him by train from Chicago to Powell, Wyoming. There he bought a piece of land for a very small amount of money and built a house of about 12 by 16 feet. He was then joined by Anna and their first 2 children, Lewis and Doris. Bill and Genevra were born in Wyoming with the family going back to Indiana in 1924 because of the poor health of Anna's parents. Anna and the children arrived shortly before her father's death, and her mother died 2 days later. George finished business in Wyoming and followed later.
He was a carpenter employed with various contractors in the Hamilton area. He was employed at Herring-Hall-Marvin Safe Co. from 1946-1957.
He was a 50-year member of AFL Carpenter's Local 637. After Anna's death, George moved to a carpenter's home in Florida. He lived there until 1973 when poor health prompted a move to Ohio to live with his son Bill and wife Dottie. Late summer of 1974, George moved to Kansas to live with his son Lewis and wife Arline and remained there until his death.
Survivors include two sons, William L. Hahn, Hamilton, and Lewis P. Hahn, Shawnee, Kan., with whom he resided; two daughters, Mrs. Wilfred (Doris) Burdsall, Brookville, Ind., and Mrs. Genevra Wright, Indianapolis, Ind.; 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Services Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Webb Funeral Home, 240 Ross Ave.
Visitation Wednesday 6 to 8 p.m.
Graveside services Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in Rose Hill.
