Industrialist and financier Marcus Alonzo Hanna (1837-1904) was born in New Lisbon, Ohio, and attended Western Reserve College before starting his business career. He became active in coal mining, shipbuilding, and other ventures. In the 1890s he was instrumental in getting William McKinley elected to the governorship of Ohio and nominated him for president in 1895. McKinley appointed Hanna as a senator from Ohio upon the vacancy of John Sherman. Hanna, who believed in cooperation between big business and government, dominated Republican Party politics until his death in 1904. He is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland.
