John George Hann was born at the Anchor Inn in Stoke Abbott, Dorset in 1835 and by 1859 was the miller at Brimley Mill in the village. Around the age of 30 he left for Colyton, Devon where he somehow had acquired two mills. In 1861 there had been three millers shown on the census, George Chilcott at Coles Mill, Robert Higgins at Colcombe Abbey Mill and Elizabeth Tizzard at Purlbridge Milll. By 1866 there were three mills on the Coly and one on the Umborne being owned by Baker, Hann, Higgins and Tizzard.
He appears to have lived in Tanyard and operated the Colcombe Abbey corn mill but soon married and moved to Plymouth where he lived in East Stonehouse and ran the Durnford Brewery. After a few years he sold up lock, stock and barrel and returned to Colyton at Colcombe Abbey mill

Stonehouse.—Durnford Brewery, Little Durnford-street.—SaleIn 1873/1874 he seems to have acquired Coles Mill which was then operating as a sawmill as well. By 1881 he had left Tanyard to cross the road to Chantry Buildings at the western end of Rosemary Lane and by 1892 he had acquired another sawmill at Martock in Somerset. Shortly after he moved further east along Rosemary Lane to a new house next to Coles Mill called Coly Bank
Having set up a thriving corn and barley mill, sawmill and timber merchants business in Colyton and Ottery St Mary, both in east Devon, John George Hann left these in the charge of his eldest son Frederick and moved to Honiton in order to take over a brewery and public houses that he ran with another son Lewis Henry. Later bringing the rest of his family to join him.
There had been a maltster's business in Honiton in the late 1700s run by William Hann. On his death in 1801 it was taken over by his great-nephew William Hann Pine. In 1842 the following properties were owned or leased by William Hann Pine, many of which were probably inherited from William Hann.

1898 - John George sold Town Mill at Ottery St Mary to James Shiner (timber merchant and stationer) of Prout Bridge, Beaminster
22 June 1898 - John George bought a house in High Street, Honiton described as:
'freehold properties consisting of a spacious and convenient brick-built dwelling-house site on the south side of the High-street of Honiton, with a frontage thereto of 37 feet, together with the large garden, croquet lawn, and pleasure grounds in the rear, extending to King-street, and a large stone-built stable &c., adjoining; also a rich close of meadow or grazing land known as Streamer's Meadow containing by measurement, 3a 2r 28p in the occupation of Mr H Hook' for £1600.

The property grounds were large enough for her to build a small theatre in them. This is now the Meadow View Chapel in King Street - part of which would have been the stone-built stable &c mentioned above.

In 'The Brewing Industry: A Guide to Historical Records' it states that Hann & Co Ltd's brewery and 10 public houses were taken over by Dorsetshire Brewery Co (Sherborne) Ltd* in 1927 which would be two years after these notices, by which time Lewis Henry had retired and John George had died. Section 188 relates to the rights of creditors in a voluntary winding up and section 195 the Final Meeting and Dissolution of the company. I believe these procedures were brought about in 1925 to enable a Dorsetshire takeover as between the dates of the two notices Lewis Henry as Liquidator would have had to wind up the company and dispose of its assets.
* This was a recently-formed amalgam of the Dorsetshire Brewery, Long Street, Sherborne, which in turn was taken over in 1951 by Brutton, Mitchell & Toms Ltd of the Yeovil Brewery, Yeovil, Somerset who shut down the Sherborne brewery. They, in turn, were also taken over by Charrington & Ltd of the Anchor Brewery, Mile End, London in 1960 and their brewery shut down in 1965. Charrington & Co Ltd merged with United Breweries Ltd in 1962 to form Charrington United Breweries Ltd and Charrington & Co (South West) Ltd was set up in 1963. In 1967 CUB merged with Bass, Mitchell & Butlers Ltd of Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire to form Bass Charrington Ltd who later became Bass plc before being split up around the turn of the century into a number of different parts owned by various companies both in the UK and abroad. Hann & Co Ltd itself ceased brewing around the same time.
