Hanigan, 81, of Dunlap died Friday, September 10, 2004, at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Neb. John was born August 20, 1923 near Dunlap, Iowa to parents Thomas M. and Catherine M. (Murphy) Hanigan. He attended country school and then graduated from St. Joseph Catholic High School in Dunlap in 1941. John then began farming alongside his father. On April 7, 1947, he married Betty I. Sloth and soon thereafter the couple began farming their own land outside of Dunlap. John was the happiest outside on his farm. He loved the land and the life of farming. He especially enjoyed farming with his brother, Jerry, and eventually his son. He took great pride in what they accomplished together. He was an avid euchre player and received endless enjoyment from the rowdy games he played in weekly. Rooted deeply in his own Irish values, John's family extended far beyond bloodlines. Kin or not, there was always room for one more at John and Betty's table. John was a life long member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Dunlap and a longtime member of the board of directors of Dunlap Savings Bank. John was preceded in death by his wife, Betty; his parents; his brother, Jerry; and infant granddaughter, Mary Piernicky.
