EFFIE HANNAH DIES SUDDENLY. Former Resident Dies Yesterday In Denver; Funeral Here Sunday. Mrs. Effie B. Hannah, wife of Thomas Hannah, formerly of Fairfield, died very suddenly at 6:00 yesterday afternoon at her home in Denver, Colo. She was 58 years old. Previous to December, 1936, when the family moved to Denver for Mrs. Hannah's health, they lived here for many years. Mr. Hannah was a prominent automobile dealer and former Jefferson county clerk. Mrs. Hannah was born in Perlee, Iowa, on May 11, 1879. She attended the Pleasant Plain Academy and afterward taught in the public schools of this county. She is survived by Mr. Hannah, and three children: Charles of Denver, Robert of Ottumwa, and Mrs. Dan Nelson of Fairfield. Also surviving are her mother, Mrs. Allie Allerdice of Richland, and three sisters; Mrs. O. M. Crandell of Spokane, Wash., Mrs. H. P. Pickard of Milwaukee, Wis., and Mrs. Esther Hadley of Fairfield. Mrs. Hannah was an active member of the Methodist church as long as her her health permitted. Funeral services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Hoskins Funeral home, in charge of Dr. M. A. Gable. Interment will be in the Pleasant Plain cemetery (sic. evidently this burial location was subsequently changed to Evergreen cemetery in Fairfield, Iowa).
