Ah, just found it - Bolingbroke Cemetery, Sherbrooke, Lanark, Ontario
http://shrinkalink.com/26505

Listed as Samuel HANNA b1825-d1906. Indicates wife? is Mary JORDAN.
Buried in Plot 100, as are a number of other HANNA's and others yet again in other Plots, some if not all who are related.

The actual death Cert (South Sherbrook, Lanark) shows he definitely died 1905, not 1906. He was Canada methodist. Married (Though I think wife Mary predeceased him?) Informant is son John.

1891: South Sherbrooke, Lanark, Ontario
Head: Samuel HANNA 67, farmer, b Ireland, parents b Ireland
Wife: Mary HANNA 62, b Scotland, parents b England
Son: John HANNA 22, Farmer, b Ontario, father b Ireland, mother b Scotland
Dau: Mary HANNA 20, b Ontario, father b Ireland, mother b Scotland
Dau: Ella HANNA 8, b Ontario, father b Ireland, mother b Scotland
Ad. Son: Ernest HANNA 5, b Ontario, parents b Ontario
Religion Methodist
Further - there are 3 other HANNA households on the same page...will write them up in a mo...

1901: South Sherbrooke, Lanark, Ontario
Head: Samuel HANNAH 77, farmer, b Ireland 18 Jan 1824, imm 1831
Wife: Mary HANNAH 73, b Scotland 17 Oct 1827, imm 1837
Son: John HANNAH 33, F. laborer, b Ontario 24 May 1867
dau: Louella HANNAH 18, b Ontario 12 Aug 1882
Grandson: J Ernest HANNAH 15, b Ontario 2 Jul 1885
Religion: C Methodist

When Louella married in 1908 she named her parents as Samuel HANNA and Mary JORDAN - surely she cannot have been the born-daughter of Samuel's wife Mary who would have been abt 54 when Louella was born. So maybe the child Mary was adopted...?

And, if Samuel immigrated 1831, he must have been a child of abt 7 years at the time - indicating parent(s) probably also came to Canada.......And:

1851: Sherbrooke, Lanark, Ontario
(m) Will'm HANNAH 57, Farmer, b Irland, CofE
(f) Mrs HANNAH 53 b Irland
(m) Samuel HANNAH 28, Labourer, b Irland
(m) Thos HANNAH 23, Labourer b Irland
(f) Oshur HANNAH 20, b Canada
(f) Letisha HANNAH 14, b Canada
(f) Ann HANNAH 11, b Canada
(f) Martha HANNAH 9, b Canada

CENSUS 1871:
William HANNA, is listed as head of a Household in the 1871 Ontario "Head of Household Census" So (seperately) is his son, Samuel HANNA.
Both in Sherbrook, Lanark.

CENSUS 1881
Sherbrooke South, Lanark South, Ontario
William HANNAH 85 widow, b Ireland , Farmer Church of England
Leititia HANNAH 43, b Quebec C. Methodist
Charlott HANNAH 41 b Ontario C. Methodist

DEATH:
William HANNA died 5 Nov 1881 of old age, age 86, South Sherbrooke, Lanark
Farmer b Ireland, methodist.
Informant was a methodist preacher of Sherbrook, but the date of registration was not until 17 Feb 1882.

William's wife was Letitia CARDWELL as found on the death of their daughter Letitia (Samuel's sister):
DEATH:
Letitia HANNA died 16 Mar 1914 age 77, South Sherbrooke, Lanark
Born \Canada, Buried in Bolinbroke, Retired, Single.
Parents WIlliam HANNAH and Letitia CARDWELL
Informant was her Physician

Samuel's other sister Charlotte's death, names only her father. No Provision for naming her mother on the form.
DEATH:
Charlotte HANNA died 7 Apr 1908 age 68 yrs South Sherbrooke, Lanark
b South Sherbrook, Weaver, single, name of father :William HANNA.
Informant: Frederick HANNA

Think this is the death of William's wife (and Samuel's mother):
DEATH:
Lititia HANNA died 20 May 1877, farmer, died of old age age 78 yrs, South Sherbrooke, Lanark
Religion Episcopalion

There is so much more to see for this family - but there it is: the (likely)parents of Samuel HANNA who is buried in Bolingbrook. Also important to note, is they may have spent some time in Quebec - as this is where Samuel's sister Letitia HANNA (the daughter of William and Letitia) is said to have been born, per the 1881 Census.

Hi

Just wondered - if you are already aware that Samuel's brother - Thomas Cardwell HANNA, and his wife Jessie Ruth JUDSON & children along with her father Nathan B JUDSON, ended up in Minnesota? Looks like they entered the US abt 1870 in Minnesota, settling first in Wabasha County, then moved to Polk County in 1880. Thomas died in 1881 (same year as his eldest daughter Eliza and his father-in-law, Nathan JUSDON).

Thomas C HANNA came to Polk Co. in fall of 1880.
