This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay;
it just
has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not
researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore
about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any
additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not
want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it.

REX HANNUM, who is now serving his second term as postmaster of the fine
little
City of Worthington, Greene County, has in this official
preferment a distinct evidence of his popularity in his native city
and county. He was born at Worthington on the 7th of October, 1894, and is a
representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Greene County,
where he is a scion of the fourth generation. His paternal grandfather,
George Hannum, was born in Maryland, from which historic old commonwealth he
came with his parents to Indiana, where the family gained priority in
connection with the early settlers of Greene County. George Hannum was here
reared to manhood and from this county went forth as a loyal soldier of the
Union in the Civil war. The postmaster of Worthington is a son of John and
Elizabeth (Sullivan) Hannum, who still maintain their home at Worthington
John Hannum was born on the old home farm of his father, in Greene County,
received the advantages!
of the schools of this county and here his early activities were
directed
to farm enterprise. Thereafter he was engaged in the lumber business at
Worthington until his retirement from active business. Ralph, eldest of the
children, married Miss Pearl Dyer, and they have one child, Charles D. Rex,
of this review, was next in order of birth. Miss Ruth youngest of the
children, is a popular teacher in the public schools. In the Worthington
public school Rex Hannum continued his studies until he was graduated in the
high school, and thereafter he was a student one year, 1915, in Purdue
University. Thereafter he continued his studies in turn in the Indiana State
Teachers College at Terre Haute and in the institution of the same order at
Danville, where he was a student two terms. He was a teacher in the McClaren
School in Greene County at the time the nation entered the World war, and
his patriotism was shown when he enlisted for service in the United States
Army. He was assign!
ed to the One Hundred Fifty-first Infantry, received training at Camp
Taylor, Kentucky, and later was with his command at Camp Shelby, near
Hattiesburg, Mississippi, whence he was returned to Camp Taylor, where he
received his honorable discharge. After the close of his World war service
Mr. Hannum became a clerk in the Worthington post office, under the
administration of Doctor Beatty, postmaster. In January, 1923, under the
administration of President Harding, he was appointed postmaster of his
native city the office of which he has since continued the efficient
and popular incumbent. Mr. Hannum takes deep interest in all that touches
the welfare and progress of his native city, county and state, and in
politics he is a staunch advocate and supporter of the principles and
policies of the Republican Party. He is affiliated with both York and
Scottish Rite bodies of the. Masonic fraternity, and in his home community
he has membership in the Lions Club and the Country!
Club. The year 1923 was marked by the marriage of Mr. Hannum to
Miss
Florence Ballard, daughter of the late John J. and Florence (Owen) Ballard,
who were members of old and sterling families of Greene County. Mr. and Mrs.
Hannum have one child, John B.
