Hanna Will Join the G. A. R

Senator Marjs Hanna has consented to join the Grand Army of the Republic, and it is expected that he will be received into membership within a short time, the ceremony taking place, perhaps, in Washington. Although it is not very generally known, Mr. Hanna has a record as a soldier, having joined the 150th Ohio infantry during the rebellion as a second lieutenant. When Gen. Rassieur, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R.. was in Washington a few days ago, he asked Mr. Hanna why he didn’t join the organization. Mr. Hanna declined, but when Gen. Rassieur became serious and made the Invitation pressing the senator reluctantly consented.
