B. Cutright Buckhannon, W. Va., July 1, 1907 Pages 466-467 DR. PHILIP DEPOY HANNAH, is a resident physician near Peck's Run, Warren District. Was born March 9, 1852, son of Mafford and Margaret (Flick) Hannah, natives of Rockingham County, Va., who moved to Peck's Run in 1850, and grandson of Thomas Hannah of Virginia. The subject of this sketch was raised on a farm. The dread disease known as White Swelling attacked him at the age of eleven and left him an invalid limb, which he has carried throughout life and compelled him to devote his energy to the acquisition of such knowledge as would fit him for a profession. He taught nine years in the public schools of Upshur County, at the end of which time he was fitted for entrance to a medical school. He was clerk in stores at Peck's Run and Johnstown during a part of the five years prior to his entrance upon his medical course. In 1885, he graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, Md., and immediately located at Peck's Run, his home, where he has successfully practiced until the lame limb forced him to retire. In 1887, he married Josephine Virginia Arbogast, daughter of James and Alcinda (Colow) Arbogast, of Highland County, Va. Dr. Hanna owns a farm of 52 acres on upper Peck's Run. Is a U. B. in C. Church in Religion and a Republican in politics. ------------------------------------------------------------------- From Death Certificate, Upshur County, WV #10935 FULL-NAME: P. D.
