Charles M. Hanna ’30

Body

Charles M. Hanna died Aug. 19, 1995, at the retirement community of Sherwood Oaks, in Cranberry Township, Pa. He came to Princeton from Mercersburg. He played lacrosse and was a member of Arbor Inn. He left in Feb. 1929 to go into banking. He worked for Natl. City in NYC until 1932 when he joined Eastman Kodak in its new venture of microfilm, then principally concerned with banking operations.

He served in the Army from 194245 and organized the microfilming of engineering data for the Air Force. He was discharged with the rank of major. After the war he worked with new developments for container labeling, and his company was acquired by Mobil Chemical, from which he retired in 1971.

He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Kucera Hanna, whom he married in 1948. They had no children. His successful and creative careers were topped by serious golfing and travel. The class extends its deepest sympathy to his wife.
