When Effie was five years old (1880) the family lived in Walnut, Marshall County, Indiana. Located 12 miles south of Plymouth, it was laid out April 16, 1866 and contained 83 lots. Originally known as Fredericksburg the railroad changed its name to Walnut. This was a common practice during the mid - late 1800's. In the early years of it's history Walnut was known as "Possum Trot", a nickname it earned because of the large number of opossums that were found in that section of the county.
Effie most likely attended the Bodey School, District # 8, in the village of Walnut. This school was located on the West side of Michigan Road about 1/4 mile north of State Road 110. The school building was sold at auction in 1887.
There is no evidence of the Hann family ever being fortunate enough to have their own phone, however, the first telephone in Marshall County was installed late in 1878 although it wasn't until 1881 that a phone was installed in Plymouth.
Effie and Frank Hattery were married in 1890. Benjamin Harrison was President. During the early years of Effie and Frank's married life, America was experiencing a great panic and depression. When we hear the term "Stock Market Crash" and "The Great Depression" we think first of 1929. However, in 1893 the Federal Gold Reserves fell below the safe minimum. Panic ensued leading to a Stock Market Crash. Four million are unemployed. Six Hundred Banks failed, fifteen thousand businesses are declared bankrupt, one third of all railroads are broke, and farm mortgages are foreclosed. Grover Cleveland begins his second term as President. This depression lasts until 1897.
Six Children were born to the Hattery Family. Three during this Great Depression. It isn't known how Frank supported his family during these early years but we know he was eventually employed by the Erie Railroad as evidenced by this newspaper account in The Evening Sentinel, Rochester, Indiana, Dec 1, 1908 "Oscar Moore and Frank Hattery employees of the Erie, got laid off for a few days. Yes, times are getting better".
Everett Hattery, first child of Effie and Frank, married Alberta Cooper. About 1937 Everett and Alberta made their home in Blue Island, Illinois. This marriage was not blessed with children.

LADY DIES AT CHICAGO HOSPITAL
Mrs. Alberta Hattery, 50, former Rochester resident, died at 7p.m. Thursday evening at the Billings Hospital, Chicago, from a heart ailment following a lengthy illness. Mrs. Hattery was the daughter of Albert and Adele Cooper. She was born January 15, 1893 at Chicago and moved to Rochester in 1927. She was united in marriage August 29, 1923 to Everett Hattery, who preceded her in death in March of this year. The deceased was well known in Rochester, and was a member of the Rochester Baptist Church and the Rochester Order of the Eastern Star. Survivors are : two sister - in - laws; Mrs. Guy Books and Mrs. William Moore, both of Rochester, and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at the Zimmerman Bros.

The body will arrive from Chicago at 11 a.m. Saturday and will be taken to the Zimmerman Brothers funeral home where friends may pay their last respects.
Ellen, the second child, first daughter of Effie and Frank, spent her life in the Fulton County area. She was the wife of Guy Victor Books. Ellen and Guy were the parents of one son, Everett Books. There appears to have been some animosity between Ellen and her sister Charlotte. I don't know the origin of these hard feelings, but it seems to have something to do with the distribution of Effie's estate, following her death. The feeling is that Ellen and Everett somehow got more than their fair share. I don't know the details or if this was fact or illusion.

Charlotte Miranda was the third blessed event in the life of Effie and Frank. Charlotte was very close to her grandparents Daniel and Nancy Hann. According to my mother, Margaret (Moore) Carr, Charlotte and her mother were not close.
1903 brought the arrival of twins, Leora and Leonora Hattery. Leonora passed away at age 1 month, 21 days. Many infants continued to die of childhood disease during these pre-antibiotic days. Penicillin wasn't discovered until twenty five years later by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928, but didn't become available for general use until the 1950's.
Fulton County, Indiana, Obits - Bios , 1901 - 1904 Sentinel By Tombaugh, PAGE 132 Saturday, May 16,1903 Leonora [Hattery], the infant daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Francis Hattery, residing in the northwest part of town, died this afternoon of whooping cough. Funeral probably next Monday. PAGE 133 [Leonora Hattery] The little daughter of Francis Hattery, who died Saturday of Whooping cough, was buried this afternoon. She leaves a twin brother and her parents to mourn. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Showley.
Leora called Ora by the family, contracted measles during his childhood. Complications left him with a mental impairment. Margaret (Moore) Carr refers to her Uncle Ora as slow. Ora built a house, in Plymouth, Marshall County, where the Ridge Company Parking lot is now. This house was later sold to Charlotte and her husband William. Following their deaths, sons William and Marvin lived in the house until it was bought by the Ridge Company and torn down to make way for the parking lot. I remember this house, it was white and very small.
Ora's wife's name was Marjorie Boyce. They had no children and were divorced. I'm not sure how long their marriage lasted. Ora who had lost most of his sight was struck by a car and killed while going to the mailbox, in Farmersburg, Indiana.
In this letter from Leora Hattery to Andrew L. Hattery of Blaine, Washington, Leora talks about his family. Andrew provided me with a copy of this letter in 1996 "Leora Hattery, Farmersburg, In. 47850, Oct. 5, 1968 Hello, I am well and my 2 dogs and 1 black tomcat are 2. I am a bout blind yet.

Frank Hattery's grandaughter Margaret Moore shares these memories of her grandfather: I was probably eighteen when he died. Grandpa Hattery lived behind us in a boarding house. This lady took in boarders. I don't know how many she had. We'd go over to the house to see him and we'd sit with Alice, that's the lady he boarded with, and she'd tell us ghost stories. She believed in ghosts. She'd tell us ghost stories that would really make your hair stand up and she was always talking about tokens, knocks on the window or knocks on the door and there'd be no one there. That'd be a sign that someone was going to die. Someone did die when you heard a token. (Mom's still superstitious) The ghost was some man at the foot of her bed and stuff like that. She was a mean old lady. She had a flowing well at her house, one of those artisian wells that flowed automatically.
Grandpa, the one thing that always made me mad was he liked limburger cheese and she wouldn't let him eat limburger cheese at her house so he'd bring it over to our house to eat it. Oh that limburger cheese stunk something awful. Grandpa taught me how to play rummy, a card game. He was happy as long as he'd win and he'd play with me, when I got old enough to win he wouldn't play anymore. He was real childish like that.
He'd let me shave him. If I wanted a nickel I'd have to shave him. Candy Grandpa liked was Horehound. He'd come to our house with pockets full of Horehound, we didn't like it so he didn't have to share that.
Grandpa liked to gossip. He'd go around and visit people and then he'd come over and talk about them. He was the only man I knew that would talk about people like that. I wondered if he liked anybody cause he was always talking about somebody.

Excerpts from her book "History of the Hann Family 1822 - 1999"
Mollie Hann was the first child of Daniel and Nancy Hann.
According to her obituary Mollie was born in Miami County, we know from census records that the family lived many years in Marshall County. It appears that Mollie's family moved frequently. After reaching adulthood Daniel and his family were found living in a different location with each subsequent census.
Mollie married the first time April 15, 1888 to Jerimiah Leiter. This description of 1880's style wedding gowns gives us an idea of what Mollie may have looked like as she stood on the threshold of a new life.
During the 1880's the bustle was still in fashion, but the skirt was without train except for evening affairs. The bodice of the gown was closely fitted to well-corseted hour-glass figures. Stays of whalebone, covered with fabric, were sewn to all seams and darts in the garment to make it fit the figure closely and smoothly. Wrinkles would have been a disaster. All skirts were completely lined. Jersey cloth was a favorite fabric,gowns made of this fabric clung closely to the figure.
The bustle was a separate piece from the skirt and was made of horsehair. It was tied about the waist with tapes. Sleeves were tight with cuffs of velvet or a trimming of fancy braid in various designs, heavily beaded. A straight, high collar without trimming was worn with this type of dress.
The hair was curled on top of the head, and across the forehead a bank or fringe was worn. The ears were allowed to show. Small bonnets tied under the chin, as well as larger hats having high crowns trimmed with flowers and birds for greater height, were worn. Mollie and Jerimiah were the parents of 10 children, 7 boys and 3 girls.
The married life of Mollie and Jerimiah does not appear to have been a happy one. They separated April 4, 1906. Mollie had to work as a Chambermaid and Dining Room Helper to support her family. In 1908, Mollie filed for a divorce. She sites Jerimiah's cruel and inhumane treatment of her, drunkeness, laziness and general worthlessness as grounds. Mollie also applied for custody of her children. During this period of our history women had no rights, they were often not given custody of their children. Historically when the father died, even if the mother was alive, the children would be listed as orphans and given a guardian (male) to look after their welfare. It appears that Mollie must have been granted custody of at least the older children, in 1910 we find 4 of Mollie's younger children on the rolls of the Brightside Orphanage in Plymouth, Marshall County, Indiana.
Mollie remained close to her brother Andrew and maintained contact with him at the Indiana Epileptic Village in New Castle. June 2, 1912 Mollie was married to Jobe Moselander. Mollie and Jobe spent their final days in Niles, Michigan to be near Jobe's children. The Moselanders had no children together. It is not known what kind of man Jobe Moselander was but we can hope that Mollie found happiness.
Mollie passed away in Niles, Michigan, March 16, 1940. Her body was returned to Plymouth, Indiana for burial.
Obituary Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Church of God. Pearl Street, for Mrs Mary Moslander, late wife of Joseph Moslander, who died Saturday at Pawning Hospital at Niles, Mich. Death was due to complications following an operation. The services will be in charge of the Rev. Maynard J. Pyle with burial in the New Oak Hill Cemetery.

Fifteen grandchildren, three great grandchildren. The body was brought to the Johnson and son Funeral Home to remain until 1:00 P.M. Tuesday. Friends may call at any time until 1:30 Tuesday.
The first child of Mollie and Jeremiah was a male born April 30, 1889, there is no further information regarding this child, and it is supposed that he died.
The second son Jesse Edward married Ethel Trader and they had 4 children: Elmer E., Alma Fern, Frances Ellen, and Mamie Elizabeth. Jesse must have died before March 1940 as he isn't listed as surviving in Mollie's obituary.
3. Mina Ellen became the wife of Willard Heckaman. Mamie Heckaman is the only child of this union that I know of.
