Funeral Notice - Mrs. Hanson died August 17th in Armstrong at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Musson, and was buried the 18th in the Norwegian cemetery southwest of Tuttle Lake. The funeral was held at the house and a sermon preached in English by Rev. Gilbert, the Methodist minister of Armstrong. Another sermon was delivered in Norwegian at the grave by their own minister. Mrs. Hanson was a kind and loving wife and mother, a friend to the poor and needy, a mother to the motherless children that came under her notice and a good Christian. She leaves a husband, nine children, and several sisters and a brother to mourn her loss. The family has our deepest sympathy.
