Daniel Efird Hahn, 63, Died Last Night, Dec. 15, 1920

Mr. Daniel Efird Hahn, aged 63 years, died last night at 6 o’clock at his home on Twelfth street. He had been in declining health for seven years and during the past 10 days his condition was very critical. He bore his illness with remarkable fortitude and during the years when he was shut in he was bright and cheery always looking on the brighter side of life. Before his health failed him, he was actively engaged in farming and in business interests in the city. He was well liked and stood among the highly esteemed citizens of the town and county. The funeral service took place from the home this afternoon and interment followed in Oakwood cemetery. Rev. C.R.W. Kegley, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran church, of which the deceased was a consecrated member, had charge of the funeral service. Besides his wife, formerly Miss Laura Yoder, the deceased is survived by three children, one daughter and two sons, Mrs. R.L. Gibbs of Hickory, Rev. Sam Hahn of Burke Garden, Va., and Dr. Gaither Hahn of Saranac Lake, N.Y. One brother, Mr. Poly Hahn of Hickory, also survives him. (From the Hickory Daily Record, Dec. 15, 1920)
