Hahn, Jacob Andrew

At an early morn last Friday morning [Apr 4, 1904] the gallant spirit of the old hero soldier Jacob Hahn passed to the Great Beyond where comes beautiful rest.

Our friend and comrade in "the days that tried men's souls" in the camp, on parade, on the march and in the field where red-flamed war hurled his death-dealing missiles among us, who could but love a spirit whose gallantry defied death and laughed at all efforts to destroy him? "After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." The hardships and vicissitudes of his services in the war with Mexico and as a soldier of the Confederate States, of which he could speak by the hour of interesting reminiscences, are past and he sleeps, his bier flower-laden, on a summit "where green trees wave their summer glories and where bright sunbeams fall." Not a month ago he told us he was ready to go and took us into the room and pointed out the portrait of his wife whom he missed so much, and on the day he left us, in the same room, her lips seemed to say "he comes to meet me." There are few of his old comrades of Hood's brigade now left to speak a word or drop a tear to the memory of the chivalrous Jacob Hahn. Deceased was born in Germersheim, Rheimpfatz, Bavaria, September 7th 1821, immigrated to Texas in 1845, joined the Texas forces against Mexico in 1845, and at the conclusion of the war settled in Colorado county, where he has since resided; joined Co. "B" Fifth Texas Regiment, Hood's Brigade, July, 1861, wounded June 27, 1862,at Gaines Mill, incapacitating him for infantry, and he was honorably discharged same year. He was twice married, both wives preceding him to the grave.

He was blessed with eight children, all of whom are alive to mourn his loss. At 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon his remains were committed to earth at the Odd Fellows Rest, Rev. T. E. Muse, pastor of the First Baptist Church in this city, officiating.

Hahn, Sarah Victoria

DIED, in this city Saturday last SARAH VICTORIA, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Hahn. This sad demise occurred with a suddenness that sends a shock of pain through every heart. An accident not considered serious resulted in lock-jaw, and “the chalice of the precious wine of life was withdrawn from lips that so enjoyed the draught.” The funeral obsequies were solemnized from the parents’ residence Sunday at 5, p.m., when the treasured little form was laid in the Odd Fellows’ Rest. The Citizen extends sincere condolences to the bereaved parents. The miseria of sorrow sweeps o’er their heartstrings for the fair young life extinguished, but a burst of melody is chanted by the angelic choristers for the little soul safe, safe within the dear Father’s fold.

We speak of the loved and the lost,
Who have gone to the land above
And the mists of the river of death are crossed
By the rainbow of their love.
Sad hearts are yearning in hall and cot
To pillow some dreamless head,
But we know the beautiful changes not
And our darling is not dead.
By the beautiful gate
She’ll watch and wait
Till our feet shall cease to roam,
And over the river
That sings forever,
The dear ones gather at home.
