​By Ann Longmore-Etheridge

She was born circa 1833 in Wolfsville and died November 5, 1882, in Anderson, Indiana. She married John Henry Kuhn on 10 November, 1855 -- the son of Wolfsville residents John Kuhn and Susan Schroyer.

A love letter from her suitor to Hannah -- who was in Benevolah, Washington County at the time -- still exists: "Aprile 25th 1855 ... John. H. Kuhn; His Love To Miz Hannah. C. Pryor; By these fiew lines I informe you that I am well at this time; And hoping that these fiew lines will finde you in the same state of helth; yet me an you are almost strangers; yet I will state to you that if we are almost strangers yet it is not said that we can not get acquainted if so your wish ma Be; And if my adreses are welcome to you Plese your honour I will heartiley Receive your answer to these Questions. As fare ase I know your friends [in Wolfsville] are all well at this time. As the Evening is short I will close these fiew lines And if to this question you will agree; Plese my Dear Miz and sende me an answer to Wolfsville Frederick County Maryland; Yours With Respect, John. H. Kuhn.'
