HANYEN, MRS. JENNIE E. REYNOLDS (SRGP 8658)
Mrs. Jennie E. Reynolds Hanyen, widow of C. B. Hanyen, died at her home in
Rutland, Penna., on Thursday evening, March 29, 1923. Mrs. Hanyen was born
in Sullivan, Penna., August 12, 1838, being the oldest daughter of Normal J. And
Marie Argetsinger Reynolds. Her paternal ancestors came to Pennsylvania
from Rutland, Vermont, and made a settlement about two miles from her late home;
the settlers named it in honor of their Green Mountain home in Vermont.
Her great-grandfather was one of the Green Mountain Boys, celebrated for their
bravery in the Revelutionary war. Her mother’s ancestors came from
Holland. Mrs. Hanyen went to Elmira, N.Y., to live when a young girl, and
was educated in the Misses Thurston’s Private School for Girls. Her
marriage to C. B. Hanyan, a prosperous merchant of Elmira, took place on
February 18, 1863. They lived to celebrate their fiftieth wedding
anniversary; Mr. Hanyen passing away the following September. For forty
years Mrs. Hanyen had resided in Rutland, and during that time had endeared
herself to a host of friends. Her beautiful christian life, so full of
devoted service to her Master; so replete with kindly deeds for her friends; and
so unselfishly and lovingly given to her family, will not soon be forgotten, but
its influence will be felt for years. As long as strength would permit,
she was an earnest, active worker in the Methodist church. For many years
she taught a class of young ladies in the Sunday school. It was a source
of great pleasure to her, at each succeeding Christmas time to receive messages
of love from her Sunday school “girls” of long ago. Throughout her long
live, Mrs. Hanyen had always enjoyed good health. Her death was caused by
natural decline, and her passing out was quiet and peaceful. She is
survived by two daughters, M. Louise Hanyen, at home; Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer, of
Mansfield, Pa., and two sons, Attorney Fred C. Hanyen, of Scranton, Pa., and
Prof. C. B. Hanyen, Jr., of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; also one sister and three
brothers, Mrs. Celia Bronson and W. H. Reynolds of Rutland; John Reynolds and C.
F. Reynolds, of Tioga Pa. The funeral services were held from the late
home, Monday, April 2nd, conducted by Rev. C. D. Purdy, of Mansfield Methodist
Church. Burial was in Woodlawn cemetery, Elmira, N.Y. The
pall bearers were T. J. White, E. G. Gregory, H. J. Bond, M. V. Benson, F. C.
White, L. M. Palmer.
HANYEN, MARY LOUISE (SRGP 8660)
As the first rays of light shone over the eastern hills, in the early
morning of September 29, 1927, the soul of M. Louise Hanyen left its earthly
dwelling, and quietly and peacefully passed out into the Great Beyond.
Miss Hanyen had been a patient sufferer in the Robert Packeer Hospital, Sayre,
Pennsylvania, for several weeks. Following an operation, all the aid known
to medical science was given her; everything that loving hands could do, to help
ward off the progress of complications was done. The tired body seemed
unable to respond to the earthly call; but at daylight, when the Heavenly call
came—“Tis enough, come up higher,” the struggling soul was willingly released
and went joyfully on its celestial journey. Thus has ended a beautiful
life. Miss Hanyen was born in Elmira, N.Y., the daughter of Cornelius B.
And Jennie Reynolds Hanyen, both deceased. She attended the schools in
that city and later graduated from the Teachers College here. She taught
in the schools of Elmira for several years, retiring at the time of her father’s
death to live at the family home in Rutland, Pa., with her mother. Since
the death of her mother, in 1923, she has spent the winter months with her
sister, Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer, 50 St. James Street, and has made many friends
here. Miss Hanyen’s beautiful Christian character was exemplified in her
daily life. She had hosts of friends, whose hearts are greatly saddened by
her going. Miss Hanyen was a member of the First Methodist Church in
Elmira; but during her stay in Rutland and Mansfield has been a devoted worker
in the church of her choice. She was president of the Ladies’ Aid Society
of the Roseville Church for several terms, and gave her time willingly for a
cause that was dear to her heart. The following relatives survive: A
sister, mrs. Blanche Hanyen Palmer, of Mansfield; two brothers, Attorney Fred C.
Hanyen, of Scranton, and Prof. C. B. Hanyen, Superintendent of Schools,
Kingston, Pa.; three nieces, H. Louise Palmer, a student in the college here;
Mildred Hanyen Kocher, a student in Columbia University; Jennie M. Hanyen, a
member of the faculty in Elmira College; one nephew, Howard R. Hanyen,
advertising manager for Cleland, Simpson Co., Scranton. The funeral
services were largely attended on Saturday afternoon at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer. There was a great profession of beautiful flowers,
many floral pieces being sent from friends living at a distance. The
service was in charge of Rev. W. W. Kehler, pastor of the Rutland Methodist
Church. Interment was in the family plot in Woodlawn Cemetery,
Elmira, N.Y. Rexford Soper was the funeral director. The
pall-bearers were C. L. Longwell, W. W. Allen, John Farrer, W. S. Farrer, Prof.
G. B. Strait, Fremont Walters, G. L. Palmer, M. V. Benson.
