Obituary W. N. Hannah Contributed by: Omar and Wanda Ellerbee, 01 Jan 1999   Waxahachie Daily Light - March 19, 1917 W. N. Hannah, who lived on the J. Will Embry place near Rockett, was almost instantly killed Saturday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock about a half mile north of Wilmer, when his automobile overturned and he was caught under the machine. Hannah and Simon Farrar were returning from Dallas. He had just passed another car or wagon and it seems the car wobbled some causing Farrar to reach over to help Hannah in turning the wheel. He apparently lost control while on an embankment and the car went into a ditch and overturned. He was caught underneath and It is believed the side of the car across his neck choked him to death. Other than a broken windshield the car was undamaged and young Farrar was not hurt. Hannah, about 50, is survived by a wife and nine children. The funeral was held at Bell's Chapel Sunday afternoon.   Copyright © 1999-2017, Ellis County TXGenWeb. All Rights Reserved. This page was last modified: Thursday, 01-Jul-2021 13:20:38 MDT
