Henry Jasper "Jap" Hamner was born in Hardin Township near Nebo, Illinois. He was the son of Henry Jasper Hamner, Sr. and Margaret Edna Blacketter. He attended school in Pike County, Illinois and later in Franklin County, Kansas. His father died when he was 16 years old.
Henry married Missouri Belle Cline July 22, 1880 in Hannibal, Missouri. She was the daughter of Taylor Cline and Charlotte Jenkins. Henry and Missouri Belle were members of the Atlas Christian church, joining soon after the church was established. Their children were Henry Taylor Montgomery Hamner, Rosetta E. Hamner, Charles Everett Hamner and Edna Lucinda Hamner. There were also two stillborn children.
Henry was a tall, slim farmer who sometimes played the "fiddle" for dances. His house was a two-story house on the right side of the road just out of Atlas in an area known as "Jockey Hollow". He enjoyed playing a board game called Croquinole with his grandchildren.
According to "Past and Present of Pike County, IL" by Capt. M. D. Massie, "Mr. Hamner came to Atlas without a dollar, bringing a tent with him and living in it in Jockey Hollow in Atlas Township through the greater part of one summer. He is truly a self made man, acquiring his possessions entirely through his own efforts. At the present time he is enjoying a creditable and gratifying measure of prosperity, having become the owner of a good tract of land, which he has placed under a high state of cultivation, so that he annually harvests good crops that bring him a very desirable financial return."
"He has not allowed himself to become discouraged and disheartened by any obstacles or difficulties in his path, but he has regarded such an impetus for renewed effort and his indefatigable energy has been one of the strongest features in his success. In politics he has ever been a stalwart Republican, and fraternally, he is connected with the Modern Woodmen of America. He now has a large acquaintance in Pike County and no man is more deserving of representation in this volume, among its representative citizens, than Henry Jasper Hamner."
Henry died at Atlas from lobar pneumonia. Death certificate Book 6 page 235, Pike County, Illinois. According to his obituary, Henry had been in failing health for several years but his sudden death came as a shock to his family.
