Daughter of Madison and Elizabeth Ann 'Barnes' Bradshaw. She married Seth Columbus Hanks on February 12, 1880 at the home of the bride, 4 miles west of Decatur. They had 8 children: Margaret Elizabeth, Claude Russell, Gaylander Willis, Shirley Homer, Edythe (Edith) Hazel, Mabel Maude, Virgil McKnight, and Ina Chloe Francis.
Susan Frances Hanks, wife of Seth C. Hanks, was born June 6, 1857 and died at her home four miles west of Decatur June 30, 1897, aged 40 years and 24 days. She was greatly esteemed by all who knew her: her circle of friends and associates was remarkably large because of her amiable ways and lovable disposition. Her hand was always ready to administer to the wants of the needy. Heaven surely smiled when god blessed her with these qualities. She became a Christian at the age of 20 years and held her membership until the end. Now she is at rest only awaiting the resurrection when the glory of the blessed savior will light upon her. She sleeps her last long sleep: her husband and little children will miss her from the home that her presence made so happy and cheerful, but they have the consolation and sympathy of all the friends and neighbors, who were so good to them during their sad affliction. Many thanks are due the neighbors and friends for their goodness and kindness.
The pall bearers were selected by her. They were Samuel, Frank and James Bradshaw and Luther, Nola and Chaney Miller, the honorary pall bearers were Miss Mabel Vaughn, Miss Alice Lebo, Miss Catna Leonard, Miss Zola Musser, Miss Emma Musser and Miss Rose Musser.
