Captain Hance emigrated to Carroll County, from the county of Miami, Ohio, in the year 1828. He was a consistent and influential member of the Baptist Church for fourty years.
As a county commissioner, Captain H. was distinguished for the fidelity with which he discharged the various duties connected with that office. To sum up, he was one of that honest, incorruptible class of men, too little appreciated, we fear, in this degenerate age. His word was as good as his bond.
As a husband, father friend, neighbor, and Christian, he was always true and consistent. He was a zealous follower of the meek and lowly Redeemer.
