[9822] Dan Hanson obituary

Parker Rites on Sunday for Dan E. Hanson
Had Brilliant Career Despite Polio Spent Life In Wheel Chair

Parker, S. D., Sept. 24 - Funeral services for Dan E. Hanson, 69, Parker attorney who had a brilliant career as a lawyer, public servant and bus line partner despite crippling polio, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Presbyterian church here.

The Rev. Maurice Hildahl, Beresford pastor, will conduct the services. Burial will be in the Parker Cemetery. Mr. Hanson, who died Thursday at Rochester, Minn., from cancer of the throat, was a partner in the Jack Rabbit Bus Lines with his nephew, Lowell C. Hanson, Sioux Falls, from 1925 to 1947. Confined to wheel chair he was born on a farm near Vyborg in Turner County. He never walked after a polio attack as a young boy, and spent the rest of his life in a wheel chair. But Mr. Hanson was graduated from the University of South Dakota and took a two-year postgraduate course at the University of Minnesota. In 1902 he became Turner County Clerk and served five terms. Later he was States Attorney for seven and a half years. During his practice he was associated with the late Judge L. L. Fleeger.

Had Large Practice

Mr. Hanson built up a large practice, and was recognized as a formidable courtroom adversary. He had large land holdings and was noted for his philanthropies. He is survived by his second wife, the former Mary Williams of Parker, whom he married in 1932; two brothers, E. E. Hanson, Henry, S. D., sister, Mrs. C. W. Anderson, Sioux Falls. Pallbearers will be F. R. Cotton, L. L. Long, V. B. Clikeman, Warren Chase, Ed G. Hanson, and Charles Dana. All of Parker.

Dan Hanson obituary

Dan Hanson:

Dan Hanson, Parker attorney and public servant, was a splendid example of what courage and persistence can accomplish. He overcame physical handicaps and at his death, left behind a distinguished career. Mr. Hanson attained heights rarely reached by persons with like hindrances. He will always be remembered throughout South Dakota for his high purpose and for his courage.

[5408] Dr. Phelps settled permanently in Colebrook and practiced
his profession many years until his health became seriously
impaired and he was obliged to relinquish the farther prosecution
of it. He was subsequently engaged in agriculture and
was also for a time interested with his son, William H.
Phelps, in mercantile business at Riverton, a few miles distant
from Colebrook, where he resided for a few years and then returned
to Colebrook. He mauy times represented the town
of Colebrook in the General Assembly of the State, both before
and after the adoption of the State Constitution in 18 18,
and held other local positions of importance.
He was prominent and influential in the state and was
elected to Congress in 1835, and re-elected in 1837, and was
subsequently a candidate for Presidential Elector, after which
he retired from active participation in public affairs, although
he continued to take a deep interest in them during the remainder
of his life. He was highly esteemed for his sterling
character and sound judgment. Born immediately after the
close of the Revolutionary War and before the adoption of the
Federal Constitution he was one of the strong men of the old
school who ardently cherished the principles on which the
government was founded, and who by their influence and example
did all in their power to make them a perpetual blessing
to posterity. He died at Colebrook, 1 Sept., 1866.

[7863] In 1783 Charles Prather purchased 481 acres from John COX, heir at law of Friend COX and William McMAHAN attorney for Joseph and John Cox for 600(pounds) this is the site on which the laid out the town, now Wellsburg, Virginia.

The house that Charles Prather first built for himself and his family stood opposite the present (1879) residence of Mrs. Francis Taro and west of the Steubenville Road on the south corner of the tract belonging to Samuel Jacob. (Newton, History of the Panhandle, 1879 based on an interview with Charles' grandson John).

Later Charles Prather built a stone house which stood until 1848 when his son, C.B. Prather tore it down and rebuilt.

In 1790, Dec 11, the Virginia Legislature passed an act for establishing ferries - from the land of Charles Prather across the mouth of Buffalo Creek to the land on the opposite shore, the price for a man 2 pence and for a horse the same; and from lands of the said Charles Prather across the Ohio River, for the price of a man 6 pence, for a horse the same. (Hennings Statutes 13 page 151). On December 26, 1792 Charles was given a charter for the ferry. " A flat boat was poled across the water by brawney men" (West Virginia Review August 1936).

At the January term, Ohio Co court, a plat for a town to be called Charlestown was produced in open court by Charles Prather. It was planned on a rather ambitious scale with streets and lots extending to and beyond the top of the river hill. On December 7 of that year, the town was established by legislative enactment. (West Virginia Review 193(?)) For the first few years few lots were sold and few houses erected. In 1797 provision was made for public buildings, and the demand for lots grew. By 1810 the town had 80 dwellings and an academy. The NAVIGATOR describes the village:

This is a town of Brooke County and has a handsome situation of high bank on the Ohio. It contains about 80 dwellings, has a small court-house, a jail, a pillory, a post office, an academy, public inns, several stores and two or three large warehouses from which are delivered vast quantities of flour for the New Orleans marker, there being a number of valuable merchant mills in the neighborhood which deposit their flour here to wait the rising of the waters. Buffalo Creek joining the Ohio river just below the town, over which there was erected in 1816 a handsome chain bridge on the plan of Judge Finley's of Fayette Co PA. It is a considerable place of embarkation and boats can be had here generally at a short notice. From Pittsburgh by land on the stage route through Canonsburgh, Washington and Middletown it is 50 miles in a S.W. direction."

The story tells of manufactories of delf ware and stone ware, and a large neat warehouse at the water's edge four stories high from low watermark, from the upper story of which the flour is let down into the boats by pullies and windlasses at the rate of three to five barrels a minute.

Charles Prather and his wife are buried on a beautiful knoll situated about 600 feet S.W. of and in full view of their home. The tablets read:

In memory of Charles Prather proprietor of Wellsburg. Died Sept 25, 1810 aged 88 years.

In memory of Ruth, consort of Charles Prather. Died Oct 7 1807 aged 75 years.

Charles and Ruth Prather had three children. John, Henry and Elizabeth, wife of Charles Wells.

Charles Prather of Wellsburg

Charles, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Clagett Prather was born 18 Sept 1735. (Queen Anne Parish, Prince George's Co Register), the original at Bishop's Library, National Cathedral, Washington.

Charles was 7th of the eleven children: Thomas Claggett 1726, Richard, Margaret, Mary, Basil, Henry, Charles, James, Sarah, Elizabeth and 2nd marriage Thomas 1770.

He was about seven years old when the family moved west to the Conococheague Valley and the rougher and more dangerous life of a frontier settlement. He probably was with his father who was in command of Fort Frederick and during the French and Indian War.

It was about 1760 that he married Ruth TANNEHILL, widow of John RADFORD, who had died 1759. She had one son, William Radford, born 1759.

Times were troubled. When the Revolution began, Charles took the Oath of Allegiance in Washington Co MD. Samuel Barretts Return No. 102. (Brumbaugh I page 16) In 1778, May 16th, he was serving as Ensign in the 3rd or Western Battalion in Washington Co. under James Prather, Captain. For his Revolutionary service see National Genealogical Quarterly Vol. 6 April 1917. On June 20 1778, Charles was appointed Justice of Washington Co MD (MD. Archives 21, p 141 ). The same reference page 26 gives a letter dated 9 April 1778 in the Council, Annapolis, signed by Charles Prather.

Charles Prather was already interested in lands farther west. Hampshire Co Virginia records show that in 1773 he purchased 70 acres on the No. Branch of the Potomac which with wife Ruth of Charles Town he sold in 1795. In 1779 with John Prather he witnessed in Hampshire Co a deed of Samuel and Elizabeth Simcock of Brooke Co. His brother James is found in Hampshire Co, whose daughter Ruth born 1790 married Daniel COLLINS b 1774, son of Thomas Collins (from whom Charles Prather had purchased the land) and his wife Elizabeth Sprigg Cresap (Of Daniel Cresap and Ruth Swearingen).

Ruth, wife of Charles Prather, was daughter of William 4th Tannehill (1695-1749) son of William 3rd Tannehill and Euphene Beall. She had left her young son by John Radford to be reared by her brother Carlton Tannehill in the more settled life in Frederick Co. On 10 August 1779, the young William Radford had recorded an interesting deed: "Between Charles Prather of Washington Co MD;, Gentleman, and William Radford, son and heir of John Radford, deceased, for 5 shillings....the said Charles Prather doth grant unto William Radford all the tract of land by which he, the said Charles Prather is possessed by right of dower of his wife Ruth, widow of the said John Raford, deceased, and all other tracts...etc and on the back was Ruth's relinquishment of her dower interests.

There is a tradition in the Radford family that Ruth went to live upon property in now WV, left to her and her sister by their father. (The Two Parsons by Mumford, page 70)

This seems unlikely. In 1783 Charles Prather purchased 481 acres from JOHN COX, heir at law of FRIEND COX and WILLIAM McMAHAN attorney for Joseph and John Cox for 600(pounds) this is the site on which the laid out the town, now Wellsburg.

Later Charles Prather built a stone house which stood until 1848 when his son, C.B. Prather tore it down and rebuilt.

The story tells of manufactories of delft ware and stone ware, and a large neat warehouse at the water's edge four stories high from low watermark, from the upper story of which the flour is let down into the boats by pulleys and windlasses at the rate of three to five barrels a minute.

Charles Prather and his wife are buried on a beautiful knoll situated about 600 feet S.W. of and in full view of their home. The tablets read:

In memory of Charles Prather proprietor of Wellsburg. Died Sept 25, 1810 aged 88 years.

In memory of Ruth, consort of Charles Prather. Died Oct 7 1807 aged 75 years.

Charles and Ruth Prather had three children. John, Henry and Elizabeth, wife of Charles Wells.

I do not know who the author of this information is.

I would not attempt to discuss the Prather descendants of Charles though I know the WELLS family of his daughter. The Prather data I have fits so poorly with what one might expect that much more is needed.

Charles had three children mentioned in his will and in various books on the area; Newton, at least seems to have gained his material from an interview with Charles' grandson John. What were their birthdates? Charles had married widow Ruth whose husband John Radford died 1759 leaving her with an infant son born that year. Presumable they were married c 1760/1 Daughter Elizabeth was born 1765; one might guess that sons John and Henry were b c 1761 and c 1763. They might have been younger if there were other children who died young. By her gravestones, Ruth was born 1732; her children can hardly have been born later than c 1775 - sometimes a baby does come along when parents are in their 40's. But, they should all have been adults in 1800.

They presumably lived in Brooke Co. The 1800 Personal (Poll) Tax Brooke Co. shows one Prather, Charles with 2 tithes, (Males over 16) himself and another, 6 horses, 7 slaves. The 2nd tithe could be a son (which one? and where was the other? ) Both sons certainly were old enough to show.

The 1810 census Brooke Co shows Charles and Henry. Charles was "over 45" (he was 77) with a male born 1765-84, no female. Ruth had died 1807. No wife for the younger male. Was this younger man the same as the 2nd tithe with Charles 1800? Who? Charles' son John was married, he is said to be a father of sons, C.B. and John born 1802 of Brooke Co. Where were he and his wife, and 2 children in 1810?..Nancy Caldwell writes that John built his home in 1820 in Wellsburg. Possibilities seem that he had moved from the county but returned (he was NOT in nearby Ohio Co census or perhaps he was living with his wife's family, both seem unlikely.

In 1810 Henry Prather shows as born 1765-84 with a younger wife born 1784-94 and two little girls born 1800-10. This looks like the start of a family and the 1820 census should indicate daughters born c 1807 and 1809 and other children. With Henry's wife born after 1784, it could not be the end of an earlier family. Therefore, it looks as if this Henry had married c 1805, suggesting he was born c 1780-85, likely c 1783 or he was rather old when he married. Was this Henry son of Charles Prather born 1761-c 1770. Could Henry son of Charles have been born 1761, married and died a young man, leaving a son Henry (of the census) who was reared by Charles - the 2nd tithe in his family 1800???

It would indeed by helpful to have census data for 1820 and 1830. John Prather of Charles is said to have had sons, C.B. and John Jr. 1802 (married Elizabeth MENDALL) C.B. "went to Ohio" - no other datum. The unreliable Works Progress Administration's abstracts show that John Sir Prather left a will 1837 naming wife Mary and an inventory 1838. Copies of these items should be helpful. (Mary Prather left a will 1846 W.P.A.)

Henry Prather's inventory was recorded 1835. This would be the Henry of 1810 census. In what seems the next generation in Brooke are: .. Ruth Antoinette b c1817/20 who married 1837 John McCalmont. Dr Clark Wells Prather 5-6-1815- 1872 to Covington Ind. .. Jane c b c 1820 married 8 May 1838 Jas Dudley Wells (grandson of Elizabeth Prather and Charles Wells) .. Dr Clark Wells Prather married 1st in 1839 Rebecca Birckhead another granddaughter of Elizabeth Prather and Charles Wells. She had a daughter Rebecca born and died 1840 The mother died at birth of this child; she was ages 19. Dr Clark married 2nd Martha Atwood Taylor and moved to Butler Co Ohio where 7 children were born; Oscar 1842, Raisin 1844, Clark, Virginia 1847, Henry 1849, Martha 1851 (who died 1866) and Taylor 1853. The family then moved to Covington Indiana where were born; Charles 1856 and twins Mary and Ellen 1861 and Emma 1859. In Indiana Oscar met a "cousin" Col Hiram Prather.

WPA abstracts show an inventory 1846 for a Henry Prather. It does not show whether this is another inventory for the Henry of inventory 1835 or for another Henry.

The family of Dr Clark W. Prather tells that he was "left fatherless aged 8" which would mean that some Henry Prather died in 1823. These searchers wonder if Dr Clark's mother was a Clark. No Clark family shows on Brooke Census 1810, yet if Jane C. Prather's middle initial happened to stand for Clark, it could be.

In Ohio Co census 1810 is listed Edward Gaither and wife born 1765-84. Their daughter Eleanor married Ross Prather whose family is unknown to me. The GAITHERS had come from Washington Co PA a few years earlier than 1810. In 1812 Ohio Co is a deed; Ross Prather and wife Eleanor to Daniel Steenrod one 4th part of 197 1/2 acres on Wheeling Creek; land sold to Edward Gaither 1806 by Henry Smith and descended to Eleanor Prather, one of four heirs of said Gaither. Ross and Eleanor Prather in this deed were called "of Mason Co KY".

I do hope that these abstracted records helps you in your search of the Prather family of Brooke Co VA (WV)
