Historical/Biographical Sketch: Born to John and Velma Hannah on 30th June 1939 in Nacogdoches County, John Henry Hannah Jr. grew up in East Texas and graduated from Diboll High School in 1957. He had a son, John Hannah III, by his first marriage to the former Susan Denton of Lufkin, and married Judith Guthrie of Tyler in 1992.

Hannah’s career began with four years of service in the United States Navy from 1958, primarily in the Far East. Returning to Texas following his military discharge, Hannah studied American History and Government at Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, graduating in 1965. A member of the American Association of University Professors at the age of twenty-four, he taught history at SHSU while pursuing studies for a Master’s degree. Hannah successfully ran for election as state representative for Angelina, Polk, San Jacinto, and Liberty Counties, in 1966, and served three terms until 1972. A hallmark of his six years in the Texas Legislature included his role as one of the “Dirty Thirty” who pressed for an investigation into the “Sharpstown Bank Scandal,” which led to a campaign finance reform act. The investigation ended in the conviction of House Speaker Gus Muttscher for conspiring to accept bribes from promoter Frank Sharp, in the form of loans from the Sharpstown State Bank. Hannah also sponsored legislation granting property tax exemption to persons over 65 years of age, drafted the Vietnam Veterans Act, 1967, which permitted Vietnam veterans to receive benefits enjoyed by veterans of

World War II and the Korean War, and was a floor leader in the passage of the Texas Open Meetings Act of 1967, which set requirements for advance notification of public meetings. State representative Charles Wilson was a contemporary in Austin and a personal friend. John Hannah Jr. attended South Texas College of Law and the University of Houston Law School, receiving a license to practice law in 1971. In 1972 he was elected District Attorney for Angelina County, serving for two years. Returning to private practice, Hannah acted as legal counsel to the Common Cause public interest group, where he was instrumental in defining the Open Meetings Act and the Lobby Control Act, among other reforms, and helped to create the Public Utilities Commission. In 1977 President Jimmy Carter appointed Hannah United States Attorney for the Texas Eastern Judicial District. During four years as U.S. Attorney, Hannah earned a reputation for battling corruption, with successful prosecutions of more than thirty public officials, notably in Gregg County, and for breaking up a Kilgore prostitution ring. At the age of 42, John Hannah campaigned for the office of Texas State Attorney General, losing in a run-off to Jim Mattox on June 5, 1982. Returning to law practice in Lufkin, Hannah also served as occasional special prosecutor. He acted in this capacity in a celebrated civil rights case in 1988. The case involved charges against Sabine County law enforcement officers accused of the death of a black man, Loyal Garner Jr., following a beating in custody on Christmas Day, 1987. The indicted officers, former police Chief Thomas Ladner, and former deputies Billy Ray Horton and James ‘Bo’ Hyden, having been acquitted of a civil rights violation in Hemphill, received a guilty verdict in a 1990 follow-up murder trial in Tyler. Journalist Howard Swindle documented the case, including Hannah’s role, in his book Deliberate Measures, published in New York by Viking Press in 1993. Continuing his involvement with the Democratic Party, Hannah supported Ann Richards in her successful campaign for Governor of Texas. On taking office in 1991, Governor Richards appointed John Hannah to succeed George Bayoud as Secretary of State for Texas. Principal duties during his three-year tenure involved ethics reform, the V.O.T.E. campaign for voting awareness in high schools, and official state visits by, for example, Queen Elizabeth II and trade delegations from China and Germany. Noting a variety of versions of the state seal in use for state documents, Hannah authorized an advisory committee to produce a uniform design, which was adopted in June 1992. A major extension to the Capitol building in Austin was completed during his tenure. Hannah formed a lasting personal friendship with Ann Richards, and corresponded with major political figures in Washington DC, such as Senators Edward Kennedy and Lloyd Bentsen, and Congressmen Richard Gephardt and Charles Wilson. Appointed by President Bill Clinton to United States District Judge in 1994, Hannah was promoted in 2001 to serve a seven-year term as Chief Judge, United States Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The Eastern district was one of 94 districts in the federal judicial system encompassing Lufkin, Beaumont, Sherman, Texarkana, Marshall, and Tyler. Judge Hannah’s duties covered 43 counties, a 78-member probation service, a 72-member district clerk’s office, seven U.S district judges, and six U.S. magistrate judges. John H. Hannah Jr. was active in various organizations, including the State Bar of Texas, the American Bar Association, the Smith County Bar, and Texas Criminal

Defense Lawyers. He suffered a fatal heart attack in his hotel room on the morning of December 4, 2003, while attending a conference in Florida with his wife, U.S. Magistrate Judge Judith Guthrie. He was 64 years old. At his funeral service, held at First Baptist Church, Tyler, on December 8, 2003, pallbearers included former U.S. Representative Charles Wilson and former State Representative Buddy Temple, Judge Bob Parker delivered the eulogy, and attendees included former Governor Ann Richards. Scope and Content Note: This collection comprises some 46.4 cubic feet of correspondence, political campaign materials, souvenir photographs, scrapbooks of news clippings, books, and awards and memorabilia. The bulk of the material relates to specific times in the life of John Hannah Jr., documenting his career as Texas State Representative, 1966-1972, District Attorney, 1972-1977, United States Attorney, Eastern District of Texas, 1977-1981, his unsuccessful campaign for election as Attorney General for the state of Texas, 1982, his years as Secretary of State for Texas, 1991-1994, as United States District judge, 1994-2001, and as Chief Judge, United States Court for the Eastern District of Texas, 2001 until his death. In terms of bulk, the largest groups of material are the awards and memorabilia, the book collection, and the scrapbooks. Provenance Note: John Hannah’s widow, Judge Judith Guthrie, donated this collection to The History Center soon after his death. Totaling some 46.4 cubic feet, approximately one-third was transferred from the Lufkin courthouse on January 16, 2004, and two-thirds came from the courthouse in Tyler, some items originating from the Hannah home in Tyler. The History Center Director, Jonathan Gerland, collected the material from Tyler on January 28 and 29, 2004. In February 2009, several items (mostly books, artifacts, and photographs) were transferred to the Judge John Hannah Reading Room at the T.L.L. Temple Memorial Library, Diboll, Texas, where they will remain on display. Arrangement Note:
