MARCUS A

MARCUS A. HANNA.

 

 

CHARLES DICK.

[Address delivered by United States Senator Pick in the Ohio

House of Representatives at the Memorial Services held April 20,

1904, in honor of Senator Hanna.]

Marcus A. Hanna was born September 24, 1837, in New

Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio, and died in Washington,

February 5, 1904, in the discharge of

his duties as Senator from his native

State.

Standing in the presence of this

splendid representation of the citizen-

ship of Ohio; impressed with the deep

significance of this occasion, I am also

reminded of the importance of events

that go to make up the history of our

commonwealth, and the character of

the people who have maintained her

standing in the front rank of the States

which constitute our glorious and im-

perishable Union.  In the light of

these recollections, crowned with gar-

lands of achievement and duty well performed, stand the towering

personalities of those sterling types of American manhood whose

accomplishments during the last century have made the history of

Ohio identical with that of the nation itself.

It is by no accident that Ohio has furnished so many distin-

guished sons to the nation, including presidents, statesmen, mili-

tary chieftains, lawyers, educators, authors, artists, inventors,

scientists and captains of industry. The case is found largely

in the circumstances of her birth and development, and in the

character of her early settlers.
