From The Manx Quarterly, No. 15, 1915:
During the week the sad news was received of the death of Dr Harry Percival Hannay, and it came as a great blow to residents of Castletown. The late Dr Hannay was born on the 4th July, 1866, at Leamington, and was educated at Leamington College. His medical training was at Edinburgh University, where he graduated M.B., C.M., in 1891, taking his M.D. degree in 1896.
Amongst appointments he held were those of Public Orator of the Castletown District; Medical Officer to King William’s College: Medical Officer to the Post Office; Surgeon to the Police; Surgeon to the Royal Naval Reserve; and Medical Officer to the Oddfellows and Rechabites Friendly Societies. He practised in Castletown for over 20 years, and died in Edinburgh on, Aug. 25th.
Dr Hannay was fond of sport from boyhood and won many athletic prizes at Leamington College. It will also be remembered that in 1900 he won outright the Isle of Man Lawn Tennis Championship Cup for gentlemen, and up to the day of his death he was secretary to the Castletown Tennis Club. He was a keen angler and was very often seen salmon fishing in the streams around Castletown.
Dr Hannay was beloved by every person in Castletown, and was esteemed by all who knew him. He was very kind and sympathetic to everyone. His ill-health was a great drawback, and he had often to work under the most severe difficulties. He was an honest, upright, and straight man of genial disposition. Lately he took Dr Chambers into partnership with him. The deepest sympathy is felt with Mrs Hannay in her great loss, and with Dr Chambers in losing such an accomplished and popular partner.
