Howard Melville Hanna Jr. worked his way up through the ranks of the M. A. Hanna Company, eventually serving as its president and then chairman of the board. Hanna Jr. married his first cousin Jean Claire Hanna in 1907 in Thomasville because Ohio law prohibited marrying one's first cousin. After his father's death in 1921, he inherited Melrose Plantation, which were deeded to his daughters Fanny and Kate after he died in 1945. | Creator: George Mountain Edmondson | Date: 1913 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
