Circuit Rider Visits Hanna Log Cabin in 1846
Gen Phil Hanna recalls a Methodist circuit rider passing through Black Hawk county in 1846 stopping at Hanna's grove near Waterloo. The weary rider found warm welcome from the Hanna family who set up a family altar in a log cabin and helped the horse. Hanna shares lineage as a longtime Methodist and notes First Methodist Church origins stem from early gatherings at Hanna sites. The gathering included Altrurian and other Sunday school classes with folk songs and prayers as the community celebrated faith and heritage.
