JOHN M. HANLIN
John M. Hanlin was born in Steubenville, Ohio, July 16, 1838. When a small boy his father moved to Meigs county, Ohio, and settled on a farm. John attended school in the winter and and worked on the farm in the summer until he was seventeen years old, when he taught his first school in his home district.
He attended the Downingian seminary, after which he taught in Harrisonville, Ohio. In the summer of 1862 he arranged to enter Delaware college, Delaware, Ohio, to finish his education, but instead he enlisted in the 36th Ohio, Co. H Volunteer Infantry in Marietta, Ohio.
He served in the commissary department and was sergeant and then second lieutenant. He took part in many of the hardest-fought battles of the war, including Bull Run, Antietam, Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain, and while leading his men in the battle of Lexington, Va., he received a gunshot wound which shattered an arm, disabling him for further military service, but when sufficiently recovered from the wound he served as clerk for Col. Delay until the close of the war.
Shortly afterward he entered business college in Cincinnati, later accepting a position as clerk with the Adams Express company in that city. In February, 1866, he resigned and came to Lucas county, Iowa, where he was married to Mina Jolly, who had come west seven years previously and been engaged in teaching in Lucas and Appanoose counties, and who survives him.
They immediately settled on a farm north of Russell. Two children were born to this union, Harry E., who passed away in 1896, and Nellie M., who is left to mourn his death.
In 1873, they removed to Russell, and he was appointed county superintendent to complete the term of Supt. Lew Culbertson. At the expiration of the term he was elected county superintendent and served for eight more years in that capacity. During his term he established the Lucas County Teachers Library, which a few years ago became a part of the present library. He was a member of the M. E. church of this city, and honesty and integrity were the keynotes of his character.
Funeral services were held from the home on North Grand street on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. W. Goodsell, and interment made in the Chariton cemetery.
