Life and legacy
Hanby was born in Rushville, Ohio on July 22, 1833.[2] In 1849, he moved to Westerville to enroll at Otterbein University,[3] and was later involved in the Underground Railroad with his father Bishop William Hanby.Шаблон:Citation needed
In 1856, at what is now the national historic site the Hanby House,[4] Hanby composed the popular anti-slavery ballad "Darling Nelly Gray",[5] based on his encounter with Joseph Selby, a runaway slave from Kentucky who had died in the Hanby's Rushville home.[6] Hanby went on to write several other notable anti-salvery songs, including "Ole Shady", "The Song of the Contraband", and "Little Tillie's Grave".[7]
After graduating in 1858, Hanby briefly taught school before becoming a minister in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. In 1860, he became the principal of Seven Mile Academy in Seven Mile, Ohio.Шаблон:Citation needed
By Christmas of 1864, after some time as a minister in a church in New Paris, Ohio, Hanby was operating a singing school in the town.[5] Here, he composed "Up On The Housetop" as a Christmas sing-along, originally titled "Santa Claus". In 1865, Chicago-based publisher George Frederick Root published the song and brought Hanby to Chicago to pursue other ventures.Шаблон:Citation needed
