Mrs. William Hanson, oldest daughter of Henry Olson, now residing near Gunder, died at the hospital at Valley City, N.D., on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at the age of twenty-five years, one month and twenty-three days.

Mrs. Hanson had been in her usual health, when suddenly she suffered a stroke on Sunday morning. From this she recovered consciousness in the afternoon but went into a coma on Monday afternoon from which she never roused.

To them were born two children, who now together with the grief stricken husband mourn the death of wife and mother. The two children are Raymod, 4 years old, and Arlene, 9 months old.
