Among the earlier residents of Atlanta who made his mark was C. E. Hanleiter. He cast his lot with the young but vigorous town just as it was emerging from the village of Marthasville in 1847 to become Atlanta. His first venture was the publication of a paper (which he had removed from Madison, Ga.), called "The Southern Miscellany." Previous to this time, however, he had been connected with various publications as publisher, editor, printer — in all of which positions he demonstrated a high order of ability. In 1853 he published "The Eeveille," a weekly.

In 1857 he established the "National American," one of the most persistent advocates of manufacturing industries, the construction of the Georgia Air Line and the Georgia Western railways, and other internal improvements. In 1860 Colonel Hanleiter organized a company and established the Franklin Publishing Company, which was disposed of while he was in the Confederate service — and for which he never received a dollar. Early in the 1870's he, in connection with Colonel B. C. Yancey, published "The Plantation."

In 1885 he helped organize the Gate City Guard, and was elected a lieutenant of the company. While Atlanta was in its swaddling clothes Colonel Hanleiter was one of its most progressive, energetic and well known citizens. In 1856 he was a member of city council and introduced many good measures for the city's welfare. He was a Justice of the Inferior Court, and was one of the most earnest advocates of the establishment of a house of refuge for the poor. About 1870 he was superintendent of the Orphans' Home at Bethesda. near Savannah, for which he raised $8,000, and saved it from a forced sale. When in Macon in 1837-40 he was foreman of Fire Company No. 1, and Vice President of the Macon Benevolent Association.

He was twice married; first to Miss Mary Ann Ford, of Connecticut, and, who died in 1848, leaving four children; his second wife was Miss Ann Elizabeth Shaw, Atlanta, to whom he was united in September, 1850, and who died in 1893, leaving eight children. Ten of his children attained to maturity: Josephine, deceased, wife of Henry Gullatt; William A., Ida, unmarried; Katharine Anna, wife of J. S. Peterson; Bertha E., unmarried; Victoria, Mrs. Stowers ; Cora, Mrs. Catchings; George S., Methodist preacher; James M. P.. Savannah merchant, and Elizabeth, Clerk of Public Schools of Atlanta.
